Along that note, it is interesting to me that much of Warhol’s inspiration derived from public media sources like the news, tabloids, and commercial imagery.

The architectural system of Frank Lloyd Wright In Curtis’s seventh chapter in the book Modern Architecture Since 1900, Wright’s early architectural career is outlined that led him to become a master architect. Frank Lloyd Wright, according to Curtis, embodies a traditional yet individualistic and uniquely democratic American ideal in architecture.

Both views make sense, and it is possible to see an artist as both polarities "in a single outlook.” Born in 1867, his father was a preacher, and his mother ...

Almost all classic songs are about love. Since ancient times, artists have endeavored to write songs of love to stir the heart. Their works have ranged from the saccharine and sappy to the truly moving. In spite of the artists’ varied levels of accomplishment and artistic merits, each of these songs relies on certain tropes and exhibits certain qualities that are endemic to the “love song” genre. In all quintessential love songs, three tenets (common qualities) have stood out; simple lyrics delivered with sincerity, use of a saxophone and they are sung in moderately slow tempos.

Robert Smithson examines the protocols of the standard modern aesthetics. His arguments point to the development of a limitlessness approach into art inspection, whereby art may exist in the mind of the observer in an abstract fashion. He sees the natural world as the foundation on which the ideological characters of people’s concepts emerge. Smithson indicates that boundaries and protocols do not exist for all artists in the same way. The mind of the artists is as vast and abstract as the earth’s surface. In earth projects, both real and fictional elements interact and trade places. According to ...

Night Café by Van Gogh creates a pleasant, comfortable atmosphere mostly owning to the softly painted light around the lamps and the wooden floor, with each chip and fragments thoroughly depicted in detail on the boards. The wallpapers on the café’s walls are more burgundy red than scarlet, which adds to the comfort of the room, as the depth of maroon color tones with the dark turquoise ceiling.

Clearly, music videos function to enhance an artists’ idea, and help the listeners understand the exact message they are trying to pass. As much as the music videos help an artist in making more money through more sales, they are vital in expressing the artist’s ideas.

Evidently, this can be seen in Avcii’s video called Wake Me Up. His musical video creates a story about two stars who seem to be lost and ...

Grey says: "When deeply seeing, the object of our contemplation enters our heart and mind directly" (Grey 72). He means that we absorb the true message that the object conveys and we become united with it. We put our souls into analyzing or creating ...
