 This exhibit will explore the theme "The Influence of Celebrities". We will explore how celebrities have shaped and impacted the art and society world, specifically the Postmodern Era. With this exhibit we will examine how 6 different artists have used celebrity culture and how its reflected on the art, fame, and society world. Marilyn Monroe (1967) By: Andy Warhol Although this does come a little short of postmodern-1980, this painting is a great example of the expression for popular culture and high art, with it invoking a celebrity to the reflection of an art icon. This helps highlight the persuasive influence celebrity culture can have on art. This is also only one of ten from this profolio, all the same print, just different use of color. For this one, the use of vibrant colors helps give a sense of the mass production celebrities can bring to the world. The lining and also the shading, both help introduce many emotions, which also helps show how art can reflect how att...

World War I presented an immense loss of lives, and a whole lot of destruction. These events have impacted artistic views and expressions. In this exhibit, we will explore how 3 different works of art and show how they can be related to World War I, and what expressions they give off. Der Krieg( The War) (1924) By: Otto Dix Stadtmuseum, Germany This portrait which is one of 50 from this portfolio, depicts memories and horrors Otto Dix witnessed during the time of the war. One of the first elements that stick out is the use of shading, specifically with figures, it truly invokes that sense of trauma and the emotions during that time. The limited use of color, really emphasizes the desolation of the war. the composition as well help with the sense of trauma it gives off and the distorted figures seem deeply horrified. Again this portrait along with the many others, helps confront you as a viewer with the reality of war. We Are Making a New World (1918) By: Paul Nash Imperial War Museum, ...

 We will be comparing two major styles of the Romantic Era, the two styles include the Hudson River School to the Pre-Raphaelites. You will get a taste of the inspiring landscape of the Hudson River School and the captivating symbolic world of the Pre-Raphaelites. Hudson School- These artists are captivated by the vast wilderness the world has to offer and is seen to capture spiritual essence. Kindred Spirit(1849) By: Asher B. Durand This beautiful portrait depicts Thomas Cole, also known as the founding father of the school, and William Cullen Bryant a known editor, embodying the nature. The detailing lining within the rocks, trees, each leaf, it give off that emotion of deep observation and the overall respect for nature in the world. Another element would be the use of light and shadow that is shown across this whole portrait, it also creates a sense of depth and it help draw you in as a viewer. All these elements form to that dramatic emotion it gives off, like you're actually ...

      The 1700's was seen as the enlightenment, a time with curiosity and reasoning. In this era there were many discoveries made in many different fields whether its scientific, medicine, or anything out of the ordinary. These impacts in the world during this time also affected the art world. This era impacted the art world so much it inspired artist to explore new themes, perspectives, or even new techniques. The three amazing art pieces in this virtual exhibit will take you through the fascinating relationship between art and discoveries in the 1700s.  The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (1632) By: Rembrandt Van Rijn Place created: Netherlands For the first art piece we have The Anatomy Lesson by Dr. Tulp, this amazing portrait foreshadows the rising interest in the human body and anatomy in the 1700's. more specifically this mast piece focuses and highlights the importance of observing and the understanding of the natural human body. One of the elements ...

  The Elevation of The Cross by Peter Paul Rubens(1610) The Elevation of the Cross is seen as a monumental triptych, that shows the moment Christ's cross was put into place. There many elements that amazes me in this portrait, such as the combined dynamic of emotion and composition seen in the figures. Specifically, some art elements I found awe was the light and color. the rich palette used for this portrait is truly striking. This palette is dominated by red, brown and gold, which evokes that emotional feeling and also the significance of the event that was being taken place. The red used on the robe for some of the figures really draws your eyes to that emotion intensity. Another element would be the lining and movements. The lining for the figures is what really caught my eyes and the slight line twist each figure shares. This shows and enhances that sense of struggle the figures were dealing with and the emotional impact being faced. This portrait was painted for a church in A...

The Blind Leading the Blind (1568) By Pieter Bruegel the Elder This portrait doesn't necessarily inspire awe, but instead evokes a complex set of feelings of unease and trust. This work of art presents the image of blind men guiding each other towards a ditch in such desperation. When looking at the figures in the painting there's many expressions that each one of them express. They are all holding something to keep them all connected and that enacts that trust feeling these men are putting in each other. One other factor that serves a great emotion impact is the type of landscape that is presented. The emptiness and the lack of structures gives that feeling of blandness or isolation. You do see a church in the art piece which goes in to the religious part of this painting. I do not own a copy of this and probably will never just because of the rare nature of painting itself and the artist. You can find this work of art in Naples, Italy. Backstory: Although there's no exact...
