The symbolic, 18th Century portrait of George Washington, done by Gilbert Straut, represents George Washington's courageous behaviour and acts during that time, since many wars and battles were being fought.
One of the most famous buildings in the world, the Chrysler Building is really the icon building in New york city with its stricking futuristic looks and art-deco style. -Mary
I believe that the painting of the american flamingo is trying to show how long the legs and neck are compared to it's body. Also it shows the habitat that the flamingo lives in.
Paul Revere, the young Silversmith shows bravery and courage durring the midnight ride. warning everyone on the path that the British are in fact coming. -Tori (Paul Revere)
An experienced silversmith with courage and wisdom who lives an ordinary life as a silversmith and another life plotting against the British. -JoJo (Paul Revere)
This peice represents to me that although the distance seems never ending, it is actually not as nearly as long as it seems, it just depends on how u look at it.
The distance and also the ladder itself, I think, have this neverending aspect. Yes, it does depend on how you look at it. Perhaps racial equality is a never-ending process... perhaps there is an end to it.
You are a young man of few words! You were of course FREE to use a few words... and, yes, the painting itself is meant as a visualization of Freedom of Speech... so you are actually quite accurate here !
the ladder for Booker T. Washington was crafted by Martin Puryear and after was dedicated. Booker did not inspire Martin to craft the ladder. this ladder looks large and starts almost a foot wide then narrows until it joins at the staggering 85 feet tall top. will, david, brendan.
The serenity reflected in this painting of John Biglin really shows his passion for rowing, and this image captured by Thomas Eakins on such a beautiful day is pleasant to look at. -Ally (John Biglin in a Single Skull)
An excellent point of study concerning what you found out through your research... that the painting is, among other things, an exercise in skill with which the artist challenged herself.
Very observant. I am wondering if the artist intended this or if it is your interpretation. Either way, one can certainly see boredom in it. Or comfort?
In the Boating Party, Mary Cassett shows that she can make her painting more extrodinarry by adding a male figure to one of her paintings for the first time ever.
The image of "Portrait Of A Boy" is a painting of a boy from named Homer, who is the son of Augustus Saint-Gaudens and, as stated on CMOA, "the picture is a technical tour de force as well as a striking example, in its faithful echo of the child's petulant resignation, of the artist's sensitivity to psychological realism."
I like how you added your image to your comment. You have incorported a really good quote. It is good to spell out an acronym the first time one uses it. CMOA should be Carnegie Museum of Art.
In The Boating party, Mary Cassett paints a man for the first time. She shows that she is able to paint a man in her paitings. The Baoting party show the togetherness of the mother and child.
It is interesting to me that you say the painting is detailed. Part of it certainly is, but part of it is rather impressionistic, isn't it? Yes, the painting is rather intriguing.
A masterpiece of Art Deco architecture.

Yes, sometimes strength is just strength, not so beautiful... but sometimes it is beautiful... which is perhaps what Eakins intends in this painting.
