A Burial at Ornans

<em>Gustave Courbet</em>

This painting depicts the burial of Courbet’s great uncle in the small French town of Ornans, and it is considered to be one of the turning points in French art. The painting depicted the scene with an unflattering air, and it did not romanticize the depictions of grief and mourning, as in traditional Romantic paintings. Critics of the piece decried both the style of the painting as well as the size. At 10 feet tall by 22 feet wide, the size of the canvas was typically reserved for religious or heroic scenes, and the painting critics said was intentionally ugly and harsh. For the subjects in the painting, Courbet also used the real people who had actually been at the burial, rather than actors used as models for the art. As it had such a deleterious effect on the Romantic style of painting, it could also be easily called “The Burial of Romanticism,” as Courbet himself said: “The Burial at Ornans was in reality the burial of Romanticism.”

This 22 foot long canvas situated in a main room at the Musee d'Orsay buries the viewer as if he or she were in a cave. In a decidedly non-classical composition, figures mill about in the darkness, unfocused on ceremony. As a prime example of Realism, the painting sticks to the facts of a real burial and avoids amplified spiritual connotations. Emphasizing the temporal nature of life, Courbet intentionally did not let the light in the painting express the eternal. While sunset could have expressed the great transition of the soul from the temporal to the eternal, Courbet covered the evening sky with clouds so the passage of day into night is just a simple echo of the coffin passing from light into the dark of the ground. Some critics saw the adherence to the strict facts of death as slighting religion and criticized it as a shabbily composed structure with worn-faced working folk raised up to life-size in a gigantic work as if they had some kind of noble importance. Other critics such as Proudhon loved the inference of equality and virtue of all people and recognized how such a painting could help turn the course of Western art and politics.

A new feature film is in production. It is a historical drama about a group of soldiers in the Vietnam War. The film
hoa [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

In film, people are able to portray people and events to fit the needs of the audience and the intended purpose of the film. However, it is also noted how certain people/communities may be biased for their perspective of said film. According to a study by Martin Novelli, the depictions of the Vietnamese in American war films is often negatively stereotyped. Vietnamese civilians are usually shown as passive victims, prostitutes, or conniving with the enemy, while North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong guerilla fighters are frequently drawn as cruel torturers or effeminate cowards, and the ARVN are described as incompetent. In addition, many relevant facts concerning the conception of the war, or America’s subsequent acknowledgement of how the war was a mistake were not properly addressed. Instead, filmmakers focused more on the themes of war compared with educating the populace with hard facts.

In Walsh and Louvre's opinion, "the ideology of such films speaks of several basic and widespread public attitudes towards the war".

Donna Alvah reported that students writing an introductory essay on the war often reflect the perception shared by most Americans born after the war. According to Alvah, students' conceptions of the Vietnam War are "largely gleaned from movies, documentaries, music, and .. relatives who served in the war, or who in any case hold strong opinions about it."

Compare and contrast the paintings by Caravaggio and Jacob van Ruisdael. Both of these artists painted during the Baroque period
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

Van Ruisdael specialized in landscape painting and never really digressed from this art genre. He never painted human figures, even the minuscule ones that are present in his landscape and town images. Instead van Ruisdael would ask other artists, most probably from his studio in Amsterdam, to fill in the human figures in his works for him.

In his early years in Haarlem Jacob van Ruisdael painted the natural dunes around his city and the flat woodland. His early offerings show an intense affiliation to nature and the solitary structure and objects against nature's great vastness. This was naturally due to the influence of his uncle, Salomon van Ruysdael, who used solitary objects to create new dimensions and concepts in composition.

Jacob van Ruisdael was also influenced by other fellow Haarlem painters such as Jan van Goyen, Pieter de Molijn, Hercules Segers, Jan van de Velde and Claes Jansz. These artists were deemed 'tonal painters' and despite van Ruisdael's use of strong local color, it is evident that he was inspired by the restrained palettes of these painters.

In his early works, pine forests, waterfalls and stormy skies featured heavily and van Ruisdael's fascination with trees in particular is evident in paintings such as the Landscape with a House in the Grove.

During the 1650s, Jacob van Ruisdael visited Germany and absorbed himself in the natural wonder of the northern landscape and hemisphere. He developed a keen interest in the rugged mountain planes, craggy lands and old abandoned structures. It was here that he drew most inspiration for his later works whereby he created Nordic images of landscapes entirely from memory. The artist's subject matter was not original but rather his interpretation and execution of it was. He was able to add something new to his strongest work; a moral and psychological significance that was appreciated by later generations in particular.

Van Ruisdael's landscapes always conveyed a gloomy, placid atmosphere evoking solitude and dark emotions. Furthermore, his paintings always instilled an overwhelming silence that is best understood through emotions rather than words.

However, his images were not as intense as those of his followers. They were not loud but rather passively elevated the viewer's psychological state. His connection to oncoming storm clouds came to symbolize the oncoming of human emotions and moods. Van Ruisdael used his work to assign personalities to the trees and structures of nature that he presented.
