The temple's four sides have paintings "Done in lacquer, they represent Bodhisattvas, Pagodas and scenes of devotion such as the sacrifice to a hungry tigress. There are also narrative scenes taken from the Jakata stories, depicting the virtuous deed accomplished by the Bodhisattvas and how they managed to attain Buddhahood as a result" (Popham 1990:40)
Behind the building is the place where the monks assembled. The Pagoda is a five story building that comes from the Indian Stupa and it enshrine[s] a holy relic and thereby symbolize[s] the presence of a Buddhist sanctuary" (Suzuki,1980:54)
His hands are placed in one of a number of mudras. "He has a protuberance on his head and a third eye that indicate extraordinary knowledge and vision and are among some twenty three bodily signs introduced by the Mahayana Buddhist to indicate [shaka's] superhuman qualities" (Varley, 1984:26)
This new culture began in the Asuka period. The H-ry?-ji Monastery represents the first Japanese Buddhist combination of architecture, sculpture, and painting that was influenced by India through China and Korea (Yashiro, 1958:24) The Horyu-ji was the first temple constructed in Japan, and it spread Buddhist teachings throughout the country
Cassatt also painted scenes showing women drinking tea, quietly reading, or writing letters." (Burns,2005) Conclusion: Pissarro -- the last official Impressionist Camille Pissarro iserhaps the last true Impressionist, as opposed to Post-Impressonist painter
Characteristics of Impressionism were an attempt to accurately and objectively record visual reality in terms of transient effects of light and color." (Cox, Hyder, Gibson, Douglas, Bishop, 2003) Claude Monet -- the movement's pioneer Claude Monet was the leader of Impressionism
" The bronze "Little Dancer" is a sculpture of a simle, ordinary member of the Paris Opera ballet chorus. (Harden, 2002) Cassatt -- the American and the woman of the movement Like her French Impressionist friends, "Cassatt used light, bright colors and sketchy brushstrokes to create the effect of what the eye sees at a glance
They are typical "Impressionist snapshots of real life, full of sparkling colour and light," but by "the mid-1880s," Renior "had broken with the movement to apply a more disciplined, formal technique to portraits and figure paintings, particularly of women" such as his "Bathers," painted slowly over the course of the years of 1884-87. (Picoch, 2002) Edgar Degas -- representing movement and the working class Of all the Impressionists, Edgar Degas is acknowledged as the master of drawing the human figure in motion

American Artists 1990 American since 1990 By the early 1990's, John Rozelle had earned critical acclaim in The New York Times and the New Art Examiner for his expertise in combining colorful layers of acrylic paint and collage to create a distinct form of nonrepresentational mixed-media art (Mercer pp)
Van Gogh's approach to this raising of experiential goals is no less iconoclastic than Gauguin's, but relies less on interaction with other cultures or persons. The Die Brucke artists acknowledged a debt to Van Gogh, with Max Pechstein expressing their view as "Van Gogh is the father of us all" (Norris) They believed that twentieth century art, to be valid, needed to arise from intense personal experience, and that man was the true subject of man
He started his own photography business in San Francisco in 1858. Displeased with the limitations of using a standard-sized camera in order to capture the details of a landscape, Watkins hired a cabinet-maker to build an original bellows-format camera that could hold 18-by-22-inch, glass-plate negatives (Friedel, 2010)
In this self-portrait, which is one of the very few pictures that he ever allowed of himself, he is found representing a miner using a rocker. His daughter, Julia, once recalled that the picture was made only for his children (Hill, 2004)
O'Keeffe's works, it may be argued, were veiled works of commentary on a world of sexuality hitherto belonging only to men. Thus, reviewers could write of her that "her pictures 'with organic shapes and swells'…'reflected the changing colors and shapes inside her'…[and her] obsession with the female body" (Chave 115)
Like Picasso and Braque, Henri Matisse had connections with the rich American art patron in Paris, Gertrude Stein. (She purchased Matisse's La Femme au chapeau (Woman with a Hat) and sat for Picasso) (Johnson 657)
This paper will show how both Matisse and O'Keeffe came to represent two distinct styles united by the common thread of modernism -- the rise of the avant-garde propitiously connected to the bourgeois. Tom Wolfe identifies the propitious connection of artists like Matisse and O'Keeffe as more than chance: he describes it as success based on a desire by the artist to be discovered by "le monde, the social sphere described so well by Balzac, the milieu of those who find it important to be in fashion" (Wolfe 13)
The overall quality of the work is soft and "painterly," which creates a sensual overtone. Peter Paul Rubens painted in the Baroque style, and was one of the leading painters of this movement, and has long been known as the "Flemish Master" in art circles (Martin 38)
Examples of these qualities can be seen in his creations of the frescoes depicting both Biblical and classical subjects painted upon the Vatican's ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The frescoes, painted from 1508 to 1512, are ranked among the greatest achievements of High Renaissance art (Summers, 2004) Michelangelo Buonarroti was born on March 6, 1475 to a respectable Florence family in the village of Caprese
Moreover, these representations of American Indians presented the public with the image of Indians as "deserving" of conservation, rather than the stereotype of fierce, threatening Indians who, in many people's minds, seemed to warrant extinction. (Riley 163) Gilpin is also cited as being one of the influences on modernist trends in photography
Her work displays a fascination with painting as the embodiment of spiritual impulses, although her brushwork and tonality are far removed from his in their delicacy -- a manifestation of the fact that her interest was not in materializing the spiritual but in spiritualizing the material world: "artistic creation is the metamorphosis of the external physical aspects of a thing into a self-sustaining spiritual reality." (Rudnick 87) Much of the essence and direction of her work can be found in the TPG manifesto, which states that their purpose was "to carry painting beyond the appearance of the physical world, through new concepts of space, color, light and design, to imaginative realms that are idealistic and spiritual
