...Chuck Close and David Hockney. Chuck Close imitates the digital form, his paintings recreating the digital world through painstaking techniques that create startling realism. One of the finest examples of digital art that can be seen through the manipulation of photographic images is in the work of David Hockney. The narrative that is created through his form of collage he called ‘joiners’ creates a reflection of cubism, the individual pieces of the work creating a sense of communication. Defining Art The digital world is a place where the amateur has been given the opportunity to create work that is as expressive as the professional, artistic creations being made... ?Digital art: The definition of art...

...Chuck Close: A Portrait in Progress Chuck Close has been presenting his series of black and white portrait heads for almost half a century. Since 1969, his paintings continue to enchant many people around the world. Close works mostly from instant photographs, and he does the painting himself. Close started painting early in life as a way of overcoming his learning disabilities. In 1988, at the age of 48, Closes spinal artery collapsed. Close was paralyzed from the neck down, and he feared that he would never paint again due to this accident. However, in a...

Close is now one of America’s most respected contemporary artists. He is perhaps best known as a portrait painter but critics have found it difficult to categorize him much more accurately beyond... ...

...Chuck Close print titled Emma. Both works are magnificent in their beauty yet the impact they have on the viewer is quite different. While one focuses on the power and strength projected by the art of photography, the other pushes the boundaries of print making. However, before dwelling into an examination of the works themselves, it would be better to get a bit of background information about the artists. Ansel Adams was a famous American photographer who worked mostly with black and white images and with landscapes of the American natural heritage. Adams is not only... Museum Paper The two works of art under consideration are a self portrait by Ansel Adams on display at the Bowers Museum and the Chuck ...

...Close and Far American painter Chuck Close placed a different zest in creating portraits. Instead of the mainstream paint-brushing and color mixing he applied in some of the portraits he created, he crafted a work which will expose the person on the portrait in a creative surprise. In his work Stanley, Close applied a pristine method of pointillism where he made small squares sheltering vector circles of different colors. In this work he used more orange, flesh, blue, green, black and white which the farther you step away from the painting you will see how these colors tend to blend, by themselves, with each other revealing a whole new picture far from the simple colored square... Stanley; Perfect both...

...Chuck Close, Bruce Nauman, Andy Warhol, and arguably Christian Schad are mimetic in nature. Provisionally, while the Christian Schad painting lacks a photographic realism that the others to some degree or another elicit, the facial features of Schad in the self-portrait insofar that they are meant to correspond to the actual features of someone's face do so... The autoportrait or self-portrait does raise critical questions about the fluid and plastic nature of identity; furthermore, the nature of self-representation manifests the subject-object tension in visually interesting ways. In the comparison of seven artists' self-portraits, this paper will attempt in a general way to elucidate some of these...

...Chuck Close who did a painting contained in a glass. The painting was a picture of an elderly woman who gazed back at you when you looked into the glass. Furthermore, it almost looked real as if someone had really been held captive inside the glass (Gardner et al. 426). I also saw some very wonderful examples of journalism like one that was done in the year 1953 by Nan Koldin. It was not just... The Art Institute of Chicago Question overall reaction to art institute The art institute of Chicago is a place that is full of enjoyment.

...Chuck Close pertains to photorealism. Surrealism was an artistic movement that means using art to portray an expression of the unconscious mind. “Surrealism is a style of art in which the reality of the dream, or the subconscious mind, is seen as more ‘real’ than the surface of reality of everyday life” (Sayre, 2007, p. 44). An example of this would be Salvador Dali’s The Persistence of Memory painting (Sayre, 2007, p. 44). Aesthetic Art is art that evokes sensory... ?A World of Art The world is received in the eyes of the individual and the artist in a number of ways.

...Chuck Close. Most recently, John Currin, who recently had a major retrospective at the Whitney, buys stock photographs and bases his paintings on them. These artists, are not photorealist but rather artists who use photography, an important distinction. With the advent of digital technology the creation, printing and use of photo based reference images has become childs play. Very often the artists intention by using photographic images as a source for painting was to give life to the moment and at the same time to slow down looking. As Vija Celmins puts it" the photo is an alternate subject another... Guide's The Translation of Photographic Images Into Painting Introduction They say Art isa product of ...

...Close Analysis to the Film Fight Club A Close Analysis to the Film Fight Club THESIS STATEMENT Fight Club dates back to the year 1999 when David Fincher directed the film from the original book Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. It features prolific Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter. Fincher’s driving force was to direct a film that was going to serve as a metaphor that would broaden the understanding of the conflict between the young generation and the system of marketing which is in recent times referred to as marketing and advertising. Just like in Palahniuk’s book, the film has a twisted ending that...

...Chuck Palahniuk’s Book Fight Club Part 1: Introduction Chuck Palahniuk’s book Fight Club is one that is well received and reviewed in the literary world. Despite its acclamation, it presents some difficulties to certain readers about the literature, understanding certain connotations instructions. In the book, the fight club has some rules. Among them, the narrator stresses that nobody should talk about the fight club (Palahniuk 39). The intensity of this rule is stressed by repetition to also become the second rule. It therefore emerges as puzzling how the fight club recruits its members and grows to become a national association. If the rules were to be followed, the question of “how... ...

The eyes looking away and backwards reflect on the past; at the same time my right hand drawn larger than life-size and to the front, although supported by the table, is held up, symbolising strength and a readiness to deal with the future. Apart from its positioning, the emphasis on the hand is enhanced by painting it slightly larger than proportional.

...Close Reading As Odyssey and his crew set off ashore to explore the “unknown” in his narration, it would appear he knowsexactly what he is up against despite the fact that in his actions he appears ignorant of the fate that awaits him or the identity and nature of his guests. He describes the inhabitants of the island as Lawless brutes who had no form of societal harmony and who never worked but trusted the gods for the provision of everything, so much so, that they never tilled or sowed their land yet it produced all they needed. As such one may imagine he would not have deigned to go inland with all the knowledge he had of the brutal nature of the giants and...

...Close Reading At the beginning of the poem one feels that it is a love poem, especially after reading the title of the poem. However, after reading the poem one comes to realize that the title of the poem bears little connection to its true content. The poem is no way a passionate song of love as the reader expects it to be. This irony inherent in the title of the poem is effectively used by the poet to convey the frustration of the protagonist as he repeatedly fails to strike a passionate bond with others. The poem also seems to be a dramatic monologue. One finds such monologue in works of prose like the plays... of the English of the Concerned 17 May The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock- Close Reading...

...Close Reading Response on “I’m A Fool” by Sherwood Anderson In his creation of “I’m a Fool”, Sherwood Anderson endeavours to exhibit a character who claims of being a fool yet it occurs as though the foolishness in the context and definition of a normal society is what he judges himself by. The speaker’s self-proclaimed truth bears the capacity of engaging a reader to understand how dealing with circumstances brought by the lack of proper economy manages to bring the presumably weak man to learn the essence of sensible living. Written in the language and tone of a common man in first person viewpoint, “I’m a Fool” may be claimed as a literary piece that thematically...

...Close Analysis of the Story, “I am a Fool” by Sherwood Anderson On the surface level, the story, “I am a Fool”, by Sherwood Anderson seems to tell the readers’ that the first-person narrator is a fool.

Though he calls himself a fool, he learns that his mistakes will give him the power to lead his life without repeating them. Now he has matured into a fine young man....

...close reading of the poem “My life Stood Out- a Loaded Gun by Emily Dickinson Emily Dickinson’s poem depicts it as an anaphora. The tone of the poem is sensually inclined as Dickinson represents the gun as the poet and the master as the referred-to soul mate of the poet. The first stanza has been presented with rich use of imagery as the Dickinson serves to make clear the concept of allegory in the poem. There is an instance of personification. In this poem, the poet is a gun which has been given human characteristics. The gun has been given the attributes of human characteristics in the entire poem as there are instances where the gun speaks and smiles. The first stanza...
