Walker Evans’ Life and 1930s Photography
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing Walker Evans’ life and photography with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) from 1935 to 1938. Walker Evans (1903-1975) was an American photographer who is probably best known for the introduction of documentary style photography which depicted the people and places of the United States through his extensive collection of still photographs. His style was one in which he faced his subject matter straight on and used a small aperture with a large 8 by 10 negative to enable him to produce sharp detail in his work. One of his better known collections was derived from his contract with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) from 1935 to 1938 when he took photographs of the buildings and people in the southern States during the Depression. His photographs of the poor tenant farmers were commissioned by the FSA to illustrate their need for government relief. Rather than create sympathetic scenes however, Evans remained formal in his approach to his subject matter and simply let the facts which existed provide ample evidence of the dire conditions of the farmers. Other photographs taken during his contract with the FSA were considered collages of local merchant life which again provided documentary-like detail in their context. Paper includes detail about three photographs taken during the contract with the FSA. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Warhol's Campbell Soup Can Project
[ send me this paper ]
The Campbell soup cans project was one of the early and most successful of Andy Warhol's projects. It established Warhol's preferred method of silk-screening with acrylics, oil and enamel on canvas. Of all the pop art images, the Campbell's Soup Can is probably the most famous and easily recognized as pop art. First exhibited in 1962, it threatened the concept of 'fine art' and meshed it with the emerging graphic arts culture and was linked irrevocably to the basic pop art iconography of consumer items. This 8 page paper explores the process of silk screening and the function, medium, elements, structure and style Warhol used in the Campbell soup cans project. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944)
[ send me this paper ]
(8 pp) Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky , one of the most important innovators in modern art, played a pivotal role in the development of abstract art; some call him the father of abstract art. Consequently, Kadinsky also influenced abstract expressionism, a painting style of the late 1940s and 1950s in which abstract or nonobjective forms were used to convey emotional content. Abstract Expressionism emphasized spontaneity and often employed bold colors and/or strong value contrasts; the paintings were usually quite large in scale. Because this art often involved energetic physical movement by the artist, it is also referred to as action painting. Bibliography lists 5 sources, including 2 visuals.

William Blake, Artist and Mystic
[ send me this paper ]
A 50 page research paper that presents the career of late eighteenth century artist William Blake (1757-1827). The writer argues that Blake's work as an artist demonstrates Blake's mystical nature and religious orientation. Additionally, the writer shows that, unlike many of his contemporaries, Blake rejected the Enlightenment idea that reason stood supreme among human faculties. Blake's mysticism, in other words, was in direct deviance of the standard intellectual viewpoint of his era. Furthermore, the chronological survey of Blake's artistic career included in this discussion demonstrates how Blake more then deserves the estimation that his artistic contributions make him a central figure in the evolution of British art. Bibliography lists 18 sources.

Women: Picasso and Cezanne
[ send me this paper ]
( 8 pp) It is always curious to see how one piece of art may connect with another. This discussion will suggest that other than both subjects being women, it would initially appear that there are more contrasts than similarities. Yet it is suggested that the emotional intensity of both paintings is what ties them together, and that too will be explored. Bibliography lists 8 sources includes visuals.
