Caravaggio's Conversion Of Saint Paul
[ send me this paper ]
At the beginning of the seventeenth century, the artist, Michelangelo Merisi (called Caravaggio), began to paint in a manner that was at once new and exciting as well as echoing the best of the Renaissance Masters who had come before. This 20 page paper argues that the use of light and shadow, specifically in the painting, The Conversion Of Saint Paul, is both a dramatic iconographic technique and a reflection of the baroque period characteristic that was such an integral component to Caravaggio's personal style.

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”.
