American Artists/Morse and Mount
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that examines the work of American artists Samuel F.B. Morse and William Sidney Mount, who were contemporaries, but who took very different stances in regards to American art. The writer argues that an examination of Morse's "Gallery of the Louvre" (1832-33) and Mount's "The Painter's Triumph (1838) clearly demonstrates their differing pedagogical views. Morse saw the role of the artist as an interpreter of culture while Mount saw the American artist primarily as an observer of the American way of life. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Ancient Greek Art
[ send me this paper ]
For many years, the aesthetic interpretation of art was the only accepted interpretation. Then Alex Potts wrote a book on Winckelmann that proposed that art was more than aesthetics, that art included psychological, political and other aspirations. The process became on of finding embodied meanings within art that had otherwise been forgotten. The most shocking of these interpretations by Wincklemann showed that Greek art, once considered to be universalistic in nature, responded to several other measures of great art as posited by the ancient Greeks about ancient Greek Art. Therefore, the concept that is new, should not be new that Ancient Greek art offers a development to include the range of techne, or techniques that contributed to the finely chiseled Greek art with which we are familiar. 5 works cited. jvGreekA.rtf

Art & Beauty's Role in Knowledge
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining whether art can provide knowledge, or whether that knowledge instead is resident within the individual but unrealized until the experience of the art reveals it. Whether the individual is able to either recognize or access that knowledge is immaterial. When art can bring forth an understanding, it is not providing knowledge per se, but rather providing a framework in which that knowledge can be contained and translated to the conscious mind of its viewer. It is within this context that the work of Warhol becomes important, and Picasso's Weeping Women series portrays not only the image of pain, but also conveys an understanding of it. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
