An Annotated Bibliography of American Art and Artists: 1900-1950 (10 Pages, 119.5 USD)

This is a 10 page annotated bibliography summarizing ten articles discussing American art and artists in from 1900-1950. A literature review of American art and artists spanning the first half of the 20th century generally falls within two areas of study: the influence of the international market and perception on American art primarily based in New York; and, the important movement of the African American artists which were promoted and funded for the first time in the first half of the 20th century. Generally, according to art historians and critics, American art during the first half of the 20th century is almost disregarded while the pop and commercial movements in the second half of the 20th century are highlighted in most European exhibitions. Also from an international perspective, very little regard is made in the way of the contribution of women and minority artists; an oversight which is slowly being resolved in recent years. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

The Use of the Analogy of Art in Aristotle’s “Physics” and The Study of “Nature” (5 Pages, 59.75 USD)

This is a 5 page paper discussing the analogy of art in Aristotle’s “Physics” and the study of nature. Aristotle uses art as an analogy to differentiate between natural things and those which are a result of causes. Natural things such as animals, plants and elements exist “by nature” and have the capability of moving, growing and altering themselves whereas other things, such as artifacts, can only be changed by something or someone else moving or changing them; in other words external causes. By using art and the artist as an analogy to explain this better, Aristotle provides a simple example for the logic of the argument. In order for objects of art to be complete, they must undergo four causes which consist of the “material cause” (the materials needed to make a thing); the “formal cause” which is essentially the pattern needed for the thing and is planned by the artist; the “efficient cause” which is the force responsible for bringing the thing together (the artist constructing the piece); and the “final cause” considered the end or purpose of the piece. While artifacts require all of these elements to exist, things which exist “by nature”, the matter is there all along and does not require causes to exist. Aristotle could have tried to explain this concept without the use of art and the artist as an analogy (and he also provides building a house as a useful visual construction for the causes) but the use of this analogy proves to be highly successful in clarifying his principle of nature.

The Role of Artists and Architects in Tribal Societies (7 Pages, 83.65 USD)

This is a 7 page paper discussing the roles of artists and architects in tribal societies. When studying tribal forms of art and architecture, researchers are able to determine what roles artists and architects within the societies played and what the significance of the art and architecture showed. In many ways, by studying the roles artists and architects played and still play within tribal societies, archaeologists can also determine which aspects of the culture are considered significant in the portrayal of tribal life. Largely, artists and architects maintained a unique status within the tribes as those who could interpret the important and influencing spiritual, ancestral, and historical factors with the society and accurately and artistically include them in the functional items or structures they made.

African American Artists (13 Pages, 155.35 USD)

The African heritage is one that is often overlooked when artists are considered, much to the detriment of the American cultural history and to the artists themselves. There are, and have been, innumerable African American artists that hold a place of honor and respect in the history books. This 13 page paper looks at three such artists: Alice Walker, a contemporary feminist writer; Alvin Ailey, dancer, choreographer, and innovator of modern dance; and 'Duke' Ellington, maybe one of the greatest jazz musicians and dance band leaders of all time.

Sexuality/Munch and Schiele (8 Pages, 95.6 USD)

An 8 page research paper that contrasts and compares the work of expressionist artists Edvard Munch (1863-1944) and Egon Schiele (1890-1918). The writer argues that they exhibit very different styles, technique and imagery, yet also that these two artists are similar in that they were both psychologically extremely insecure men, who were fascinated by sexuality, yet also fearful of it. Also, examination of their work shows that both artists explored the psyche and sexuality through their art in ways that had previously never been expressed. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Miniature Painting in Pakistan: History, Influences and Future (8 Pages, 95.6 USD)

This is an 8 page paper discussing the history, influences and contemporary issues in miniature painting in Pakistan and India. The art of miniature painting was first known to exist in Persia where it was imported from into India during the 1500s at the beginning of the Mughal dynasties. In the Mughal schools of artistry, the art of miniature painting was given a more intense and dynamic feel which differentiated it from the formal structures used by the Persians. The technique is very specific in its use of wasli paper, squirrel hair brushes and vivid water based paint applied in multiple layers to earn it a silky finish. When the Mughal dynasty was displaced, so too were many of the artists who then had to earn livings applying their craft to other objects such as walls and furniture. During the late 1800s, when Indian nationalism began to take place, a revival of the traditional arts led to the re-introduction of miniature painting into the educational system where artists could earn specialties in it. Today, the art of miniature painting is one of the more popular and traditional methods of art especially found in the graduates of the National College of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan, the only school in the world offering a specialty in miniature painting. Modern miniature artists apply traditional Mughal methods in their depictions of the contemporary world and the political and lifestyle issues in Pakistan. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Comparing Artists Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol (6 Pages, 71.7 USD)

This is a 6 page paper comparing and contrasting the works and politics of the artists Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol. Artists Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol lived and worked basically at the same time from the 1920s to the 1980s. Beuys, who grew up fairly conservatively, served in the war and held an academic position, expressed a great deal of warmth and hope in his art works which was also reflected in his political and philosophical outlook on life. He believed that all humans were students of life and it was their obligation to use their creativity throughout their disciplines to integrate the ideals of all cultures. Throughout his lifetime he was the founder of several activist groups designed to allow for a more open-minded society. His convictions to freedom of education were often at his own expense as he sacrificed a great deal for his activism. Warhol was known as one of the most influential commercial and pop culture artists of his time. His outlook on life and the human race was somewhat more grim than Beuys’ however as he believed that modern culture should and does act like a machine. He stressed that he was superficial along with the rest of society and used his celebrity to further his career mostly in the art, film, music and television industries. He did however use some of his exhibitions to display some of what he considered to be disasters of the twentieth century but most of his activism was through his art and not through outward causes like Beuys.
