...The Montréal Museum of Fine Arts presents 11 photographers who have taken photographs since the 1970’s. Each photographer has his own space in the exhibition for approximately fifteen of his photographs, mainly in black and white framed with a light brown frame, realizing in a whole a retrospective of how society has changed in Quebec throughout the years. It conveys the photographers’ concerns and interests in the quality of urban lives. The photographers transmit a reflection of society, collectively, individually and creatively by the use of a keen critical sense, while respecting the subject in its environment. This exhibition will conduct the visitor to ask itself some questions, “Where are we going?” “What is reality?”. In fact, the role of the photographers in this exhibition is to present artistically, a documentary on the society with its diverse values and inhabitants. In this exhibition Benoit Aquin’s photographs portray the after hours bars, between three and five in the morning, in the streets and nightlife places of Montreal. It is a look at the people living during the night, always having fun, detached from the daytime life and somehow perverted by society. The ideas of shock and surprise are present. It is a contrast with the other photographers, who have depicted residential areas and working class everyday life. Instead, Benoit Aquin shows the hidden side of a city, what citizens cannot see if they do not wander into the night. We can observe in Benoit...

...Discussion – Museum Acquisition and Art Theft Part 1: Museum Acquisitions around the United States are very much similar if not the same. Museums make their unique contribution to the public by collecting, preserving and interpreting the things of this world. Per the American Alliance of Museums, “Museums in the United States are grounded in the tradition of public service. They are organized as public trusts, holding their collections and information as a benefit for those they were established to serve. Members of their governing authority, employees and volunteers are committed to the interests of these beneficiaries. The law provides the basic framework for museum operations. As nonprofit institutions, museums comply with applicable local, state, and federal laws and international conventions, as well as with the specific legal standards governing trust responsibilities. This Code of Ethics for Museums takes that compliance as given. But legal standards are a minimum. Museums and those responsible for them must do more than avoid legal liability, they must take affirmative steps to maintain their integrity so as to warrant public confidence. They must act not only legally but also ethically. This Code of Ethics for Museums, therefore, outlines ethical standards that frequently exceed legal minimums.” What is the procedure(s) for the acquisition of artifacts by and for museums today? Just to compare two of many The Museum of Fine Arts Boston and The Metropolitan Museum of Art pretty...

...to the query database management system data and information can then be extracted from the database. Objectives The Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art is in desperate need of a newly updated database that will help them with maintaining proper records of all the art pieces within the museum. This new database will be used to track all the art pieces, new as well as existing along with their current locations. Along with this information, the database will also store the information on each artist, which includes: telephone number, address, art pieces included, as well as the client information of those that are interested or have purchased art pieces. The database will also store the quantity of art pieces that are in the museum along with the art pieces that have been sold and the price of each piece. This database will need to be maintained on a daily basis, for any changes that might occur. It is important that the museum staff is able to give real time data to anyone that asks. For example, if an art piece is for sale. The staff needs to know if that art piece is available or not, and if it is then they will be able to proceed with the purchase. It is mandatory that this data is easy to find and has to be updated with any changes. Problems and Constraints The current database system that the Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art is using is inadequate and poses several issues that need to be rectified with the new database system. One of the issues with the current...

...Will Hawkins is the Museum Coordinator at the Tuscaloosa Museum of Art, home of The Westervelt Collection. Mr. Hawkins graduated from Huntington College in Montgomery, AL with a degree in History. After college, he began working in the restaurant industry and continued for 15 years. While working in Tuscaloosa, he began volunteering with the Tuscaloosa Museum of Art, and shortly after, he was hired as a member of the staff and worked his way up to becoming the Museum Coordinator. The Tuscaloosa Museum of Art houses The Westervelt Collection comprised of approximately 1000 works of fine and decorative arts. The collection was amassed by Jack Warner as investments for Gulf States Paper, now the Westervelt Company. Operating under a nonprofit foundation, the museum was asked by the Westervelt Company to share its collection with the community. Being a collection that was pieced together simply by the tastes of one man, the Westervelt Collection is remarkably cohesive. Hawkins stated that's he is always amazed at the story told through the pieces of art. There are four paid staff members at the museum. Mr. Hawkins and Kathy Thurman are the only two professional staff members. The museum employs two part-time college students. Mr. Hawkins’s duties as Museum Coordinator include a very wide range of daily tasks. From handling the art to training docents and from scheduling tours to giving them himself, Hawkins’s day is packed with many different tasks. The museum has gone through...

...Sabrina Bell Museum Paper September 16, 2012 “THE SLAVE SHIP” “THE FALL OF MAN” Introduction The two artworks that I’m writing about are titled: “The Slave Ship and The Fall of Man” (Adam & Eve). Both of these paintings are unique in their own way. I chose these paintings because of the nature of the pictures or should I say the titles. I was intrigue because it captured the root of history and the bible. The artwork of “The Fall of man” is an engraving and the artist name is Albrecht Durer, whereas the artwork “The Slave Ship” is an oil painting and the artist name is Joseph M. William. I did not visit a museum I choose to research the paintings online. ART WORKS THE FALL OF MAN ART WORK THE SLAVE SHIP BODY OF PAPER Both of these paintings captured the essence of beauty in art. The images describe and implement the duration of representation of both people and things. I would like to think that both artists closed their eyes and when they open them they too were astonish at what they saw. The elements used to create such art, beautified the story of what’s being told. The picture of the Fall of Man helps identify the line because the artist defined the shapes/forms of individuals. I love how he captures the different features of the animals, trees, objects and the...

...Chen 1 Wenliang Chen (Mike) Professor O’Toole Capstone September 20, 2013 The Louvre, Winter Sunlight, Morning On Capstone class, I had a chance to go to the Museum of Fine Arts. “The MFA is one of the most comprehensive art museums in the world, the collection in the MFA encompasses nearly 450000 works of art.” (About the MFA) A lot of professional artworks in the museum brought a great visual feast to me, but the one that most attracted my attention is a painting, called "The Louvre, Winter Sunlight, Morning." (Pissarro) Pissarro “understand and appreciate the importance of expressing on canvas the beauties of nature without adulteration.”(John) After a year in Paris, “he therefore began to leave the city and paint scenes in the countryside to capture the daily reality of village life. He found the French countryside to be ‘picturesque’ and worthy of being painted. It was still mostly agricultural and sometimes called the ‘golden age’ of the peasantry.”(Art Gallery of New South Wales) Pissarro explained the technique of painting outdoors to his student: “Work at the same time upon sky, water, branches, ground, keeping everything going on and equal basis and unceasingly rework until you have got it. Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose the first impression.”(John) Chen 2 The picture that I want to depict belongs to Pissarro’s early series, begun in 1901. In the foreground...

...For this project I decided to go to the Museum of Fine Arts here in St. Petersburg Florida, mainly because it is not too far from where I live, and I even brought my older sister and my nephew to tag along. Before hand, I went on their website to figure out admission prices and just general information that I figured I should know, but I also look up pictures of the museum because I was curious to see what it looked like on the outside and what kind of environment it was in. Not only was I curious, but I was also very excited to see all of the art that the museum had to offer. I haven’t had the opportunity to visit many art museums in my eighteen years of life, so it was very interesting to me to see all of the different kinds of art that was...

...he studied at the U.P. School of Fine Arts. In 1949, Manansala received a six-month grant by UNESCO to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Banff and Montreal, Canada. In 1950, he received a nine-month scholarship to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris by the French government.[1] Marker (Macabebe, PampangaTown hall. Manansala's canvases were described as masterpieces that brought the cultures of the barrio and the city together. His Madonna of the Slums is a portrayal of a mother and child from the countryside who became urban shanty residents once in the city. In his Jeepneys, Manansala combined the elements of provincial folk culture with the congestion issues of the city.[1] Manansala developed transparent cubism, wherein the "delicate tones, shapes, and patterns of figure and environment are masterfully superimposed". A fine example of Manansala using this "transparent and translucent" technique is his composition, Kalabaw (Carabao).[1] Vicente Manansala, a National Artist of the Philippines in Visual Arts, was a direct influence to his fellow Filipino neo-realists: Malang, Angelito Antonio, Norma Belleza and Baldemor.[1] The Honolulu Museum of Art, the Lopez Memorial Museum (Manila), the Philippine Center (New York City), the Singapore Art Museum and Holy Angel University (Angeles City, Philippines) are among the public collections holding work by Vicente Manansala. Holy Angel University recently opened a section of its museum called The Vicente Manansala Collection...

...New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art was recently sued by visitors because its advertised admission prices use the word “recommended” in rather fine print, giving the impression there is no getting around the basic non-concession rate of $25. It’s an odd practice, rarely seen elsewhere, of posting a price but not actually making payment required, and so no wonder it causes confusion to those who rarely visit museums. If this is the policy to be followed, surely it’s best to be as transparent as possible to the visitors about their obligations. That said, much of the resulting debate was not about the voluntary nature of the price, but about the amount. When it comes to museum prices, how high is too high, especially when, as is especially the case outside the US, museums receive generous public subsidy? All museums are different of course, in terms of their collections and their patrons, but here are a few things to consider in why it makes sense for museums to continue charging admission: First, as options go for being able to enjoy the fine arts, museums are not expensive. Compared to what we pay for opera, classical music, or theatre, that we can see the Met’s magnificent collection for just $25, or visit the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam for just €15 ($20), or the Prado in Madrid for €14 ($18), and spend the entire day there among the greatest treasures of the art, is an astonishing thing. These amounts might seem high compared to museums with free admission, or high relative...
