...Workshop II Grey Art Gallery While some may argue that replications are a blight to the world of artistic craft, many have a greater appreciation of the reproduction of artwork paintings. Imagine if the Mona Lisa was only ever viewed upon by Leonardo Da Vinci, or within its locality. Centuries later, its true beauty would still be a secret to the rest of the world. It is hard to imagine that the most famous painting in the world would have been nothing more than a local favorite. Replication of fine paintings allows those who may never have an opportunity to own a masterpiece to feel like they do. Even while these alternates are not the real thing, with some, they may still have a hefty price tag. While others may have a more affordable and favorable price tag. Determining its worth requires a lot of attention to detail. The art of replication itself is very in depth. A great deal of skill and talent is required to master another's masterpiece. While some may tout it as otherwise, it is not a simple task try and match the brilliance of an original piece. To reproduce a painting doesn’t mean it’s merely a copy, but it is a new take, or interpretation of what the original artist was trying to capture. The replications of old images can often enhance the original image and make a masterpiece accessible to the world. The Grey Art Gallery of New York University is a complete mix of modern art, classic art, and replications. Exhibitions organized by the Grey Art Gallery encompass aspects...

...museums and art galleries. While there is an argument that they should be free to the general public and funded by governments, I also believe that there is also a case for saying that they should charge an entrance fee like other attractions. Those who argue that museums should be free typically make one of two arguments. The first argument is that institutions like museums are a public service and therefore there should be free access to the man in the street. If for example there was a charge only the wealthy could afford to enjoy works of art. The second, and related, argument is that if they did levy a charge fewer people would go to museums. This would be serious as they are educational institutions and standards would fall. In contrast, there is only one major argument on the other side of the debate. This is that both museums and art galleries need to charge an entrance fee if they are to survive in the modern world. Governments do not have sufficient funds to subsidize all such institutions and there are other priorities for public money. Therefore these galleries and museums need to charge their customers not only to survive but to update their exhibitions and make new purchases. By way of illustration, the Tate Modern in London could not have been founded without revenue from admissions. My personal position is that there is no clear answer to this question as there are such strong arguments on both sides. Perhaps it is possible for some museums and galleries to charge...

...Turner and the Sublime In Romantic art, nature—with its uncontrollable power, unpredictability, and potential for cataclysmic extremes—offered an alternative to the ordered world of Enlightenment thought. The violent and terrifying images of nature conjured by Romantic artists recalled the eighteenth-century aesthetic of the Sublime. An artist that stood out among the many individuals of this time was Joseph Mallord William Turner. Turner was one of the most influential landscape painters in England. His style consisted of oil painting, watercolour, and etching. Through his career he went through different ways of expressing his talent when painting. At the beginning of his career, his work consisted of solid objects and detail but as time moved forward his focus turned towards accentuating color and light. Fascinated with natural and atmospheric elements, Turner stood out as an early-impressionist for he violated the rules of academic painting, and for this was highly criticized by his fellow contemporaries. Despite the critics, Turner never ceased to provoke through these turbulent, chaotic forces that haunted his paintings. J.M.W. Turner, born in 1775, came from a working-class family. His father, William Turner, was a barber and wigmaker while his mother, Mary Marshall, came from a family of butchers. Turner's mother was mentally unbalanced, and her instability was aggravated by the fatal illness of Turner's younger sister. As a result, Turner was sent to stay with an...

Sackler and Freer Gallery of Art – SOUTH ASIAN AND HIMALAYAN ART Both the Sackler Gallery and Freer Gallery are located on the National Mall between the Capitol and Washington Monument. The hours of operation are 10.00 am to 5.30 pm except on December 25 and admission is free.Charles Lang Freer, the founder of the Freer Gallery of art expressed his enthusiasm by “I am over my head in love with India” after his first visit to the subcontinent. As I casually browsed the Freer Gallery, the beautifully decorated image of Buddha caught my attention. Also, on display were other masterpieces of Mughal and Rajput paintings along with richly decorated court arts and daggers used by Mughal emperors. I can clearly relate to this period of history because I am of Indian descent and also practice Hindu religion. I am well aware of this particular aspect of art and culture that we have covered during this course. During The Chola dynasty, the Hindu god known as Siva Nataraja (Lord of the Dance) was the perfect embodiment of Chola beauty. The Chola dynasty was one of the most dominant artistic, religious and political forces in south India from the ninth through the thirteenth century. Siva Nataraj was portrayed as the family diety because he was always seen with his consort Uma and their elephant headed son Ganesha, often referred to as the remover of all obstacles. According to the...

...‘I've read and heard too much nonsense about how arts management is somehow special, but a good manager should be able to transpose their management skills to meet the needs of their business, arts or otherwise.’ Dave Moutry (2012). - Is there a need for arts managers? Introduction: On the basis of the quote mentioned in the title by Dave Moutrey (2012), I think he is trying to convey that there is not much difference between an arts manager and a general business manager. He mentions that he has heard from a lot of people saying that being an arts manager is different or maybe superior to a general manager. However he concludes that if a person is a skilled professional then that is enough, as long as it helps him to achieve the organizations goals and gets the work done on time, whether it is in the arts or any other sector. Bendixen (2000) cited in Caust (2010) shares the same thoughts as Moutrey, where he says that managing an arts organization is not much different than managing any other business activity. Based on Dave Moutrey’s quote I would like to add an extract from Kirchberg and Zembylas’s (2010; p. 2) article on Arts Management: A Sociological Inquiry: “Arts management has been traditionally closely associated with business economics and management studies. An extreme position would therefore argue that arts management represents a professional field that has no significant difference to any other business field. Hence, persons with practical experience...

...Marketing Hilary Rainey Marketing Final Paper: Art in General 12.10.12 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Marketing Analysis: Art in General Background Mission & History: Art in General is a nonprofit organization that assists artists with the production and presentation of new work. It changes in response to the needs of artists and informs and engages the public about their work. The organization was founded in 1981 by artists Martin Weinstein and Teresa Liszka in the General Hardware building. Weinstein and Liszka aimed to create a space where artists could exhibit unconventional work and exchange ideas with their peers. Now, Art in General fulfills its mission in a variety of ways, including the organization and presentation of exhibitions, hosting a national and international artist residency program, and through regular public programs and membership events. Beginning in 2005, its exhibition program has focused on the commissioning of new work from artists. Art in General resides in a six story building. It has two main gallery spaces, one on the sixth floor, and another in a street-level storefront known as the Project Space. The exhibition program focuses primarily on presenting artists’ work created through the New Commissions and Artist Residency Programs. When the commissioned artworks and projects are event-based, ephemeral or non-objects, special formats or programming are designed for the public to experience the work. ...

...to their life. Others are going for collections of arts, galleries and artefacts that exhibit their connection to certain cultures. These aspects of cultural diversity have been a key thing in promoting global tourism and increasing value of product in areas such as real estates. Tourists have been carrying along souvenirs when they visit the cultural destination to leave a lasting memory of their trips. This recognition and acceptance of diversity among the human race has led to some aspects of culture being embraced at international level. For instance, in the United States, several institutions have started courses that seek to familiarize Americans with African languages. Besides languages, the hospitality sector has embraced diets from other parts around the globe. These foods are costly than local ones in efforts to show regard for culture. Besides the effort by the private sector, many governments have found themselves in the midst of cultural and artistic recognition. They have dedicated resources to building cultural centres that embrace fashions, galleries and caving, housing and other aspects of culture. Museums have also become an vital aspect of modern day life that is not only being considered as part of cultural preservation but sources of income. The whole sector has been commercialized, and artistic gallery and other creative works are generating more revenues nowadays. As part of this wave, I Fell Gallery has opened a store to respond to this market need. The...

...Art for heart’s sake The Art for Heart’s sake was written by Reuben Lucius Goldberg (1883-1970). He was an American cartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer, and inventor, was born in San Francisco. Goldberg is best known for a series of popular cartoons he created depicting complex devices that perform simple tasks in indirect way. Rube Goldberg began practicing his art skills at the age of four when he traced illustrations from the humorous book History of the United States. Among his best works are Is There a Doctor in the House? (1929), Rube Goldberg’s Guide to Europe (1954) and I made My Bed (1960). Art for Heart’s sake is about the old man Collis P. Ellsworth who has troubles with his health. Doctor Caswell offers him to take up painting, for a chance. In some time Ellsworth painted an awful picture which was no a work of art at all. To bewilderment of the doctor this painting was not only accepted for the Show at the Lathrop Gallery, but took the First Prize. The old man just explained that he had bought this gallery last month. The idea of this text is everything can be bought for money. Value of art will vanish if everyone foists his god-awful smudge as an eternal work of art. The text is written as a 3rd person narration with dialogues of the personages. This text can be divided into the following parts. The first is doctor’s suggestion to take up art. The second is Swain’s lessons. The third is about the Trees Dressed in White. The forth is the culminating...

...Nicole Cueli FYS 135- Women in Art Leader of Modernist Art Throughout the decades art has escalated from simplistic male only dominated art to an array of art types and an abundance of well renown male and female artists. One of which style of art which has revolutionized different aspects in all other art forms is modernism. One leading modernist Georgia O’Keeffe who was also seen as the first female modernist who also played a pivotal role in the development of American Modernism and its relationship with European leading movements of the early 20th century. Georgia O’Keeffe is one of America’s preeminent modernist painters amongst the art world and without her much of the art we take for granted now, we would most likely not have been introduced to or introduced in such a way as she had done for us. Georgia O’Keeffe was born on November 15th 1887, in a farmhouse on a large dairy farm just outside of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Where she spent most of her young childhood until she moved to Williamsburg, Virginia. Fortunately unlike other girls of this time O’Keeffe came from a family where female education was a tradition, and without her education she would not have had the opportunities she was presented with. Modernism in art usually associated with the portrayal of cultural movements in the late 19th the mid 20th century. Many artists veered away from the traditionally taught concepts and techniques of painting that had been practiced and valued since the Renaissance...

...I visited one of the student art gallery’s on APU’s campus; I went to the Duke Art Gallery. This gallery had maybe 10 pieces in it, but there was a mixture of different types of artwork. I felt like I could not relate to all of the pieces in the hallway, some of the pieces were hard to understand the meaning behind them. For example there was one painting of a man holding a deflated balloon and in the shadows there is an outline of a full, floating balloon. The picture is kind of dark and it is a really cool painting but I do not really know the meaning behind it. There was one piece that really caught my eye and I looked at it for several minutes before figuring out what was written and the meaning. It was a white canvas with black letters on in and towards the bottom right hand corner is the word beautiful circled in red paint. After looking at it for a while, I realized that there were other words on the canvas as well; words such as: pissed, nasty, sin, worthless, and rude. There were a lot more nasty, cruel words, but it made me stop and think. This is the kind of society that we live in where it is ok to use these types of words to describe people, to describe ourselves and that is not ok. We need to remember that everyone is beautiful for who they are, it should not matter what they choose to do with their lives, or how they act; on the inside we are all beautiful and that is something that most of us forget to remember. I did enjoy going and looking at the...
