Defining the Female Canon
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that addresses the field of art criticism and how, traditionally, the art world has either ignored or belittled the work of female artists. Beginning with the feminist theory of Simone de Beauvoir and continuing to the work of Linda Nochlin, and finally to the tongue-in-cheek analysis of art history by the 'Guerrilla Girls,' the writer argues that there is a considerable canon of female artistry that deserves to be examined and appreciated.

"Flags Of Our Fathers" - A Photograph's Ability To Shape Popular Perception Of An Event
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Perhaps no other photographic image represents the inherently painful conditions of political and social upheaval than that of Joe Rosenthal's famous photograph of Marines raising a U.S. flag over Iwo Jima during World War II. The historic image - which "derives its power from a simple, dynamic composition, a sense of momentum and the energy of six men straining toward a common goal" (Macy, 2006) - illustrates just how popular perception of an event revolves around considerable randomness and unpredictability inherently associated with the historic impact a given photo might embody. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

"Madonna Enthroned" Times Two: Cimabue and Duccio.

We move from the ideal of the Greek physical body, to the early Gothic Christian influence of linear and simple depictions, forward to the beginnings of the Renaissance where once more the human shape starts to develop a realistic identity.

"National Geographic": Political Propaganda or Insight into the Exotic and Fascinating?
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the criticism that has been waged by some authors against "National Geographic". Analyzing those criticisms and evaluating them against one specific article in particular this paper concludes that "National Geographic" is not a political publication and it is not intended to be. The publication's "images are formed, selected and controlled, purveyed and read" (as one author has contended) all right but they are presented for the specific purpose of giving us a view of the exotic and the interesting not the political and controversial.

"Sword And Sheath," "Scholar's Studio" And "Red, White And Blue" - The Color Red
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The color red in any context indicates strength, power and even defiance; in some cases, it also means a statement about war, conflict and other strife. Compared to all other colors of the rainbow, the color red is symbolic of political, social and religious ideals where a strong statement needs to be made. Within the art world, the color red represents the same indicators, often utilized in such a way as to blend with softer colors in order to temper the strength so prominent in red. Three countries with artists who proudly use red as a reflection of their nations' history are Africa, Korea and the United States, with red being a prominent color in Sword and Sheath, Scholar's Studio and Red, White and Blue. The theme associated with red in each of these works of art illustrates how each artist utilizes the color to represent strong emotional attachment to his or her country. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

"Vertumnus And Pomona" By Boucher
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Francois Boucher's artwork is particularly intriguing due in great part to the social and political changes that were occurring during this time period, a metamorphosis Boucher creatively adapted into his paintings. Restrictive devices that heretofore kept a tight leash on what and how artists could craft their talents all but disappeared during this European rebirth, with the likes of Boucher taking every opportunity to display a much more elaborate, whimsical and even daring perspective. The royal court appreciated his unique style as well, having purchased and exhibited several of his pieces. Vertumnus and Pomona oil on canvas from 1757 is a good example of how the French artist establishes a more playful attitude during this era. Bibliography lists 1 source.
