Viktor Schreckengost created a Jazz Bowl in 1930-1931 while working for Cowan Pottery during the Great Depression and Prohibition era. The blue crackle glaze bowl depicts scenes from New York City like Radio City Music Hall and incorporates images of jazz music, dancing, and alcohol. Although controversial at the time due to Prohibition, Eleanor Roosevelt commissioned three bowls with this design after the first bowl was made. The bowl aimed to make a political statement through its images and use of a bright blue glaze inspired by Egyptian artifacts.

3) Painting and calligraphy are closely related, using similar techniques. Famous painter Qi Bai Shi taught himself despite coming from a poor family and focused on paintings of animals and scenery. Ancient Chinese painters took a more serious approach than some modern ones.
Relief sculpture involves carving or modeling figures that are attached to a background plane rather than standing independently. There are three main types: low relief, where figures barely rise from the surface; high relief, where figures are more than half detached; and sunken relief, where figures are carved below the surface level. Relief sculpture has a long history dating back over 20,000 years and was used widely by ancient Egyptian, Greek, and other cultures to decorate architectural structures. Common materials include stone, wood, metal, and clay.

The visual arts are creations that can be seen such as paintings, drawings, sculptures, prints, photographs and more. They are made using various mediums like paint, clay, ink and involve elements such as line, shape, color, form and space. Visual arts are different from performing arts which use the artist's body as the medium. There are many organizations that support and promote the visual arts through exhibitions, grants, education and advocacy.
Clyfford Still's Untitled (1960) painting is analyzed. The massive 113 by 146.5 inch abstract work utilizes thick layers of burgundy, maroon, orange and black paint applied with palette knives, creating a textured surface. It dissolves figuration and represents a radical modern style. The work challenges traditional concepts of space and the sublime. It creates an overwhelming absolute space that seems to extend beyond the canvas edges. The lack of color contrasts pulls the viewer into the work's immaterial void. The piece reflects Still's mature style of the late 1940s-1960s that broke new ground in realizing modern art's exploration of abstract space.

This document discusses methods for detecting art forgeries. It outlines three paintings by Monet, Van Gogh, and Pollock and their artistic styles. It then presents three methods for examining artwork: ultraviolet light can reveal new paint that fluoresces differently than old paint; chemical analysis of paint pigments can show whether historically accurate materials were used; and microscopic examination can identify machine-woven canvases which were not used until around 1850. The document proposes examining three hypothetical artworks using these three detection methods to determine if they are forgeries.

Nearly Uniform: Contemporary Silverpoint Drawings seeks to bring to our
attention to the subtlety and beauty of abstract silverpoint drawing through
the artwork of five contemporary artists, Robyn Ellenbogen, Marietta
Hoferer, Ron Janowich, Michael Kukla and Susan Schwalb. The method
of silverpoint drawing is time-consuming and exacting, limiting the artist in
terms of scale and mark making versatility and ability, rendering large-scale,
broad gestural mark making—commonly associated with the production of
abstract art—impossible. While this methodical and well-planned practice
may seem at odds with common notions of abstract art, the drawings in
this exhibition beautifully demonstrate the ability to craft luminous abstract
drawings from precise grid-like structures and meticulous mark making.
While there are several contemporary artists working in silverpoint today,
with oeuvres ranging from portraiture, still life drawings, representations of
flora and fauna as well as conceptual and site-specific installations, the five
artists selected for this exhibition were chosen specifically for their work in
abstract silverpoint.
Upon initial application, the lines appear gray, pewter or copper colored.
However, as the metal materials are highly sensitive, the colors will metamor-
phose from oxidization and tarnishing due to changes in air temperature,
humidity and the passage of time. It is an unpredictable effect, with the gray
of silver taking a warm brown hue, the burnish of copper and brass adopt a
greenish and light black tone respectively, while a gold and platinum lines apply
and remain leaden in color. Silverpoint drawings—in great contrast to drawings
of charcoal or graphite—have a luminous, almost ethereal quality that belies
the flat surface. The uniform lines and negative spaces shimmer and glow as the
light reflects the precise and exacting lines and swirls drawn into the surface.
The vantage and distance in which the drawings are viewed will affect the
undulating incandescence of the surface metals. These unpredictable nuances
of color, enhanced by light, are perhaps, the most distinct and beautiful aspect
of silverpoint drawings. To further this effect, the drawings in this exhibition
are presented in a series to encourage an intimate viewing experience, giving the
viewer the ability to appreciate the subtle, essential and incandescent difference
of each drawing as an individual work and as a whole in a series.
Silverpoint drawing is both precise and challenging and requires a proper
base or ground, and a metal stylus or metal material with which to draw.
Originally utilized in the early middle ages by scribes for record keeping, it
flourished as a drawing medium in the 15th century, with delicate renderings
of nature, portraiture, and figuration by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci,
Albrecht Dürer and Jan Van Eyck. Limitations in the use of the media—namely
the timely preparation of the drawing surface and the unforgiving nature of
the medium—gave way to artists favoring charcoal, graphite and chalk for the
desired ability to draw more easily on multiple surfaces, and the practice fell out
of fashion by the 17th century. Silverpoint (as it is most commonly known) was
revived by the Pre-Raphaelites in the 19th century and continues as a contem-
porary medium today.
The five artists in this exhibition work in modern materials with a base of
egg tempera, claycoat paper, colored and acrylic gesso, plike paper, and paper on
wood instead of the traditional Renaissance base application of rabbit skin glue
mixed with saliva and ground bone over coarse rag papers. Though silver and
gold are preferred for ease and softness of material—rather than their material
value over other metals—these contemporary artists also incorporate the use
of metallic wools, metal scrubbers, spoons, coins and industrial tape, as well as
more traditional brass, copper, and pewter. As the metal material is drawn over
the textured ground, bits of metal are embedded in the “teeth” of the surface.
Silverpoint drawing is quite unforgiving—once a line has been embedded into
the surface, it cannot be easily erased or covered over. Contrary to drawing
with chalk or pencil, in which lines of varying thickness or darkness are crafted,
depending on how the artist bears down on the drawing instrument, silverpoint
marks are specific, precise and leave a nearly uniform line.
Robyn Ellenbogen aims to translate feelings of time and memory into her
abstract images. Series like Tondos
and The LastWave demonstrate a
use of gesture and line by combin-
ing traditional metalpoint drawing
with metallic wool and wire on
a gesso and plike paper surface.
Ellenbogen’s undulating curvilinear
lines are presented in contrast to
the linear, grid-like patterns of Su-
san Schwalb and Marietta Hofe-
rer. Schwalb combines painting
and drawing to create the element
of structure in her Polyphony and
Intermezzo series. Her use of rich
ground color illuminates a precise
and thoughtful application of sil-
ver, copper and gold metals, fus-
ing and layering color and metal
to transform the wooden surface
with movement and depth. Intermezzo pushes the boundaries of the surface
plane by extending the diagonal lines on to the sides of the panel. By contrast,
Hoferer’s nearly monochromatic Mercury series emphasizes her exploration of
a grid-like structure; the absence of color enhances the subtle variability of line
application and negative space and highlights the shifting, oxidized variance of
color concomitant to metalpoint. Both the Thailand and Untitled drawings of
Ron Janowich combine the precisely drawn grid, as utilized in Schwalb and
Hoferer’s work, yet his grid is drawn into rounded and curvilinear shapes, jux-
taposing geometric angles with curvilinear borders. Janowich also introduces an
element of chance into his work, splashing colored encaustic paint in a gestural
action over a completed silverpoint drawing. Michael Kukla’s works are mono-
chromatic and curvilinear, echoing the shapes of Janowich and the palate of
Hoferer. Kukla’s Aircooled and SP series utilize gouache, gesso and silverpoint to
create luminous organic and gestural drawings. Meticulously drawn and shaded
images that straddle the line between movement and stillness, the images seem
to hover on top of the paper.
This exhibition gives the viewer the ability to appreciate the nuanced and
practiced hand of these five artists in their exploration of traditional and
contemporary metal materials. Their subtle, delicate and precise application of
the nearly uniform line that is essentially impossible to erase, creates a series of
luminous, incandescent drawings that celebrate both the beauty and complexity
of contemporary abstract silverpoint drawing.
