Rembrandt

1. Rembrandt painted a portrait of a fur merchant named Nicolaes Ruts. He was a Russian businessman who was dealing with furs.

It also shows that his left hand is holding a piece of paper and his right hand is resting on a red piece of furniture. He is called "the business man's hero' because he is what all businessmen want to be: successful.

One famous piece of art that was made by a post-impressionist was Starry Night  by Vincent Van Gogh. This painting shows his interpretation of what he views from his asylum room. Its similar to what it is in real life, but he uses multiple shades of blue for the image as well as using his brush in strokes to give his p...

Bruce Nauman Exhibit

Image
One of the reoccurring things that I have seen in Nauman's work are how he shows the simplicity of our everyday lives. At the "100 lives and dies",  it shows that we could do anything we want, but we are still going to experience death eventually. It basically is just saying to live everything to the fullest because one of those days, death is going to come knocking.
