...Figure 1: Shukongojin, 12th/14th century Japan. It is composed of wood with traces of polychromy. The sculpture is from Kate S. Buckingham Endowment, 1958. The information is from the Art Institute of Chicago. The image is taken from a sketch over a photograph from an LG camera phone. Lester Leong ASST/AH 219 February 9, 2013 Visual Analysis: Shukongojin The Art Institute’s Shukongojin is a Japanese free standing wooden sculpture that is 91 cm tall with traces of red pigment, and was created approximately during the 12th-14th century. Shukongojin is also known as the Thunderbolt Deity that has the power to pierce ignorance with wisdom and defeat evil. The deity is a protector of Buddhist law and is usually placed at gateways of Buddhist temples. The Art Institute created a perfect setting for the sculpture. It was placed on top of a pedestal under a soft yellow light, which gave it a divine appearance. Complimented with the solemn silence at the time and other Buddhist deities on pedestals nearby, the experience was similar to that of a sacred temple. Shukongojin is composed of shapes and direction of the lines that give the sculpture a menacing appearance. The sculpture has three distinct shapes: the head, right arm, and base. The head’s primary noticeable feature is the hair. The hair has a general angular shape that appears like a cone composed of smaller cones. Also the hair has a wavy style which gives it a flame like image. The heads’ secondary feature...

...and how light is reflected or absorbed by the subject they were painting. They observed and sketched endlessly, and tried to recreate light itself with paints and brushes. The French Impressionist well known for his process of exploring light and color and painting under different light conditions is Claude Monet. Monet started painting outside the rural French countryside. Here he made the series of haystack paintings, and each one was painted in different times of the day and seasons of the year. The primary subjects of the series of paintings are the haystacks, that Monet used to explore of how light, color and form changed over the course of day and different weather conditions. Two of his series works can be found in the Museum Of Art in Chicago, IL, and they are: Stacks Of Wheat (End of Day Autumn, executed on oil on canvas and work size is 27 7/8”x 39 ¾ “, 1890/91) and Stack Of Wheat (End of Summer executed on oil on canvas and work size is 23 5/8” x 39 3/8” 1890/91). In each painting, the color of the haystack is different because the light shining on the haystack is different, due to the time of season when the paintings were made. Monet captured the color of the haystack based on how the light shone at the haystack at the time. It seem like Monet painted exactly what he saw, and this can be seen in his paintings how he changes the colors of the haystacks, transferring from reds, yellows to vanishing blues....

The arch is not only a visual experience but it is a physical experience as well. It is a unique because of its grand size and that it is not only viewed from ground level, but also from the inside looking out.

...Giron 4/25/13 Humanities Final Paper Art Institute I took a trip to the building on 111 South Michigan Avenue, it is the home of the Art Institute of Chicago, which to give a little history that I learned while my visit there I learned quite of bit of history and even though there is a lot art work inside the building itself is piece of artwork as well and that is what I want to focus on and some paintings as well, it was opened in 1893 for the World’s Columbian Exposition. The building was passed on to the Art Institute after the end of the exposition. The building has become an icon for the people that live there an tourists alike. The Modern Wing, the Art Institute’s latest and largest addition to date, opened on May 16, 2009. While there I took notes of the historical building and saw many exhibits which I will get into later. The 264,000 square foot addition now houses the museum’s collections of modern European painting and contemporary art, sculpture, architecture design, and photography. The new Modern Wing looks and feels very different from the original Art Institute building because of its materials. While in there I took the breath taking sites and looking and walking around for most of my day I noticed something and it makes sense to me that a gallery for classical art would be housed in a building with a classical style, and a gallery for modern art would be housed in a more modern building, which is how the Art Institute has reorganized it’s collections with...

...The painting “At the Moulin Rouge” in my eyes is a really interesting work of art. The way Henri-de-Toulouse-Lautrec painted the women’s faces is extremely unique to me. He makes the men’s faces normal (normal skin tones and features) the women’s faces are slightly different from the norm. One women has a green face and slightly different features, the other women’s face is yellow and has longer eyes. Henri-de-Toulouse-Lautrec started painting “At the Moulin Rouge” in 1892 and finished in 1895. The painting portrays a group of three men and two women sitting around an old wooden table. The people in the paintings are Edouard Dujardin, La Macarona, Paul Secau, Maurice Guilbert and May Milton. There are many more famous faces in the painting as well. The painting “At the Moulin Rouge” is oil on canvas. Its dimensions are 123cm x 140 cm. The painting is stored at the Art Institute of Chicago. Henri-de-Toulouse-Lautrec was born on the 24th of November in 1864. He was born in a city called Albi in France. He was a member of an aristocratic family. He had a younger brother that died at a year old. Not being able to deal with the mourning of their late son, his parents soon separated after. When Henri turned eight he went to live with his mother in Paris. His family quickly started noticing his artistic talents when he started drawing sketches in his notebooks. In 1875 Henri-de-Toulouse-Lautrec returned to Albi, France because he started having health problems. Henri’s parents were...

...205-1402A 4/27/2014 Impressionist art is a style in which the artist captures the image of an object as someone would see it if they just caught a glimpse of it. They paint the pictures with a lot of color and most of their pictures are outdoor scenes. Their pictures are very bright and vibrant. The artists like to capture their images without detail but with bold colors. There were many great impressionist artists. Artist of the impressionist period Edourard Manet was an artist in the years of 1832-1833. He was a founding father of Impressionism and was a crucial part of Salon des Refusés in 1863. Edourard Manet was an artistic influence to many impressionist artists. He claimed to not be himself as an Impressionist though. He said he would not be labeled as that and did not exhibit with the others. Many impressionists borrowed from his style also. Manet influenced development of Impressionism. Olympia which was created in 1863 was a famous painting that Manet created. His style in this period was characterized by loose brush strokes, simplification of details, and the suppression of transitional tones. Adopting the current style of realism initiated by Gustave Courbet, he painted The Absinthe Drinker and other contemporary subjects such as beggars, singers, Gypsies, people in cafes, and bullfights. After his early years, he rarely painted religious, mythological, or historical subjects such as his Christ Mocked, now in the Art Institute of Chicago, and Christ with Angels...

...Critical Research Paper “The Mocking of Crist” by Edouard Manet Natallia Kolas Oakton Community College (DP Campus) HUM 123 (6:30 class) 09/27/2011 Even before going to the Art Institute, I knew that I wanted to write about one of Manet’s paintings. I admire his passion to create beautiful art even if it meant going against “old school” standards and principles. “The Mocking of Crist ” really caught my eye because of artist’s unusual interpretation of a religious subject. I felt intrigued by the idea of a red bearded Crist looking bored and out of place. When it was first presented to the public, “The Mocking of Crist ” received tons of negative criticism for the artist’s painting techniques, his choice of lower-class people as models and, of course, his interpretation of Jesus Christ’s character. “The Mocking of Crist” was painted between 1864 and 1865 in France. It is a great example of the Realist movement in art. Manet’s original title for the painting was “Jesus Insulted by the Soldiers.” Clearly, Manet did not mean to represent the soldiers' behavior in the way that title implied. Recently, once again, its name was changed to “Jesus Mocked by Soldiers.” Some sources also refer to it as “Christ Scourged.” In the center, Christ, the brightest figure, is sitting in a chair surrounded by three other male figures, soldiers. This scene is also known as the mocking of the “king of the Jews” before the execution. In this painting, the...

...What Makes Art Art? Art for me is a drawing, painting or hand created object that evokes a response in you. I am first attracted to art that appeals to me visually. Once attracted to the art then I am interested in the feelings and ideas that are generated from reviewing the piece of work. I am visually drawn to pencil drawings. Kolliwtz’s drawing’s of Hand to Forehead is an example of one of my visual attractions. You begin to wonder what she is feeling, and then as you analyze those ideas you begin to have an emotional response to the artwork. In this drawing I think she is illustrating a state of frustration. Then Kolliwtz’s Mother with Child in Arms, has the same visual attraction but a different emotional response. You have a happy playful emotional response that is generated from the content in the drawing. Color patterns that are bold or soothing also attract me. Mucha’s The Moon, the Evening Star, the Polstar, and the Morning Star, is an illustration of a color pattern that catches my attention. Unknown what each of the girls are expressing or the difference in the stars, I am drawn to the painting and feel light on my feet while experiencing it. I can appreciate bold expressions and messages in art as well. The content of Bottle Nude, by Margritte, isn’t for everyone to see and appreciate. The uniqueness in expression creates an interest in what you are supposed to see. She could be showing that a woman’s body is shaped like a bottle. Or there could be an underlying...

...Visual Analysis Essay Art Appreciation/ Art 129-03 November 14th, 2013 The Old Temple Hubert Robert Oil on Canvas 255 x 223.2 cm; 100 3/8 x 87 7/8” Art Institute Chicago The Old Temple Hubert Robert, an astounding artist who created a painting of which many could not aspire, known as, “The Old Temple,” created from 1787-1788, was the piece that I became so gratefully aware of on my trip to the Art Institute of Chicago. Although the entire institute is exquisite in form, the room that held not only one, but four of Hubert Robert’s massive paintings was my favorite. Immediately entering the room it becomes apparent that “The Old Temple” is the focal point, sitting at what many would call eye level, where the emphasis of the room rested so subtly on its shoulders. And big shoulders they were, with a height of 255 cm and a width that complemented at 223.2 cm. At this point, becoming even more relevant as the painting engulfed us further, was the size of the ever-beautiful frame. It suited the painting perfectly in which the value was effected. After this, noticing the elements of art was simple. The painting was made with oil on canvas, and truly helps with the variety of color. What is meant by this, is that it truly feels like the composition takes us to the time of development, however, reasons for this could be due to techniques used in the creation of the artwork. The most notable and visually appealing element to “The Old Temple,” was the use of linear perspective...
