Bernini's "David" And "Apollo And Daphne" - Baroque
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The sculptures of Bernini stand out as some of the loudest Baroque responses to the turmoil of this period, representing a celebration of expression that had heretofore been remiss with Renaissance representation. Bernini, an artist of rare proportion who effectively coupled his own singular and distinctive style with that of the oft-considered painful growth from Renaissance to Baroque, reflected perfectly this ongoing struggle, right down to its particular preferences and decorum. The intuitive works that set him apart from other artists of the era – "David" and "Apollo and Daphne" – were the very same compositions that lent themselves to the metamorphosing social, religious and cultural climate - an objective he duly achieved by instilling a tangibility to his sculptures. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Carsten Holler’s Artistic Production in Relation to Nicolas Bourriaud’s Relational Aesthetics
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing relational aesthetics in the works of Carsten Holler. Nicolas Bourriaud in 1997 developed a theory in regards to art called “relational aesthetics”. Essentially, he described relational aesthetics as the coexistence between an artist, the piece and the viewer of the art. Artists who use the ideas of relational aesthetics in their works allow not only the viewers to participate in the understanding of the production but also make them question the “use” rather than the meaning. Carsten Holler is an artist who very much uses the open interaction of relational aesthetics in his pieces. His works involve much of his understanding of behaviorism and utilitarianism. Many of his pieces includes elements of humans in motion and in love which questions the motives of these actions. In addition to providing viewers with a relational context and utility, Holler also uses a great deal of humor and irony in his work which allows the viewer to participate in his idea to provide the viewer with “a degree of freedom and relief, however momentary it may be”.
