Dennis Nachvatal

How many times did you think you saw something around a corner? Or a flash of something down the hall? Well in the piece Peacock By: Dennis Nechvatal there are many terrifying objects that make you think about how he came up with this master piece. Nechvatal makes me think about life and how I as a person interpret things. All of Nechvatal’s pieces are powerful images and a little bit creepy with great texture and colors.

Dennis Nechvatal makes strong and powerful images whether it is a meticulous landscape, of still life or a collage of metal masks. Getting a closer view while slowly converting into sophisticated painting of the natural world. The artist is offering a series feature of abundant floral boutiques that are lush with delicate brushstrokes. Dennis Nechvatal is truly one of Wisconsin's top artists still working today.

Another interesting item are the sinister faces all over on the piece. On the mans face there are faces of all different colors. Some of them are happy and some are sad. This represents how everyone can be either sad or happy, but no matter what they are always going to be themselves. In the background of the piece Peacock there are also faces, but these faces all look scared. And that makes me wonder if the painter was trying to make it seem like something bad is going to happen. This makes me think about how Nechvatal had come up with this piece of art. Various of the colors in this piece make it happy, but then when you look at the face you think twice. Nechvatal made a person with half the mouth closed and half of it open with teeth sticking out of one end. The background of this piece is trees and plants, but among them there are faces, some look elderly and some look young. Most of the faces look scared; I believe that Dennis was trying to display a message that something dreadful is going to happen.

Faces are an important part of this piece, but so is the texture. Texture is a very important aspect of this piece. While there are light, small brushstrokes bringing this piece together and making it a masterpiece he also makes his paint very thick. This shows that Nechvatal makes layers of color to make the art piece appealing and appalling at the same time. With his texture he shows that he was trying to mix a lot of paint together to make the colors and texture perfect.

Texture and color are equally important to artists, but what is more important to Dennis Nechvatal? Color, that is what makes certain artists unique. One artist for instance is Joseph Nechvatal, this is Dennis’s brother: yet they both have different tastes. Joseph likes to make robotic art, while Dennis enjoys to make realistic art. Although most artists use bright colors, Joseph enjoys to use dark and chilling colors. Most of the time colors are very essential, but for Dennis the most important aspect for him is the texture. Color is mostly important to artists that like to make replicas of other paintings. Dennis Nechvatal is one artist that will always have a unique style that will never be able to be interpreted. Every artist has their own style, types of color, and texture that they use to show the person that is looking at the piece of art.

Although many artists don’t like to draw real life items, Dennis does. He enjoys to make a lot of real life art, like flowers and trees. Dennis can also make creepy pieces which always turn out great. Most of his paintings have great color, texture and extremely scary, or incredibly beautiful landscapes.

School

School ending isn't something everyone wants to happen. Some kids acctually want to be in school just so that they can see there friends. While other people just want to get out of school so that they can go and get tans walk on the beach and hangout with friends. I know for a fact that I am one of those people that just can't wait to get out of school, sleep in, and hangout with friends. This Summer,the Summer of 2010 is going to be a great one.

Tell Tale Heart.

Envision having to live with a mad man. He doesn’t think that he is crazy, but in all reality he is. No matter how sane this man tries to seem he’s not. The man is grumpy, immature and wants to kill someone that isn’t even doing anything bad to him. Edgar Allen Poe was a writer that had a dark past and uses great symbols that makes this story a tragedy.
Evil eye is a creepy word that had to symbolize death for the old man. Death is a very scary thing for most people, but for the old man he had a reason to be scared. The Evil eye of the old man was the part that drove his house keeper mad. Although he claims to be something other than mad, we have proven him wrong; “after you hear the precautions I have taken with his body you will think no longer that I am mad.” “I have hid the body under the floor boards, you do not call me mad now do u?” After the man had said this, I would think he was more mad than I had thought. Death had to be the one thing that made this old man did not see coming, the evil eye was the housekeepers worst enemy.
Lining a life of abandonment is not easy, but Edgar did it with little struggle. Growing up in the place of Edgar would be a huge struggle for most people, but for him it wasn’t. Abandoned as a child he lived a horrid life.

A Clean-Well Lighted Place

Strong and not so strong opinions on life. Which one would you choose? Well in the story A Clean Well Lighted Place that is what happens; waiters with many opinions on life. This story has many symbols that show who a real person is. Young and immature. Seeing the shadow was a wakeup call for the young waiter in the story. All he really cares about is money and his wife, which is not what everyone should only care about. Everyone should love what they have in life, sooner or later the young waiter is going to turn into the drunk guy that goes to the bar every night. Most people in life would to waste there life just making money.

Hundreth Bird. New Version(:

The Hundredth Dove
By: Ashley, revised by summer(:

This is the best darn story u will ever read in ur whole entire life time!!!
The Hundredth Dove was about a hunter dude who snapped a birdies neck. Maybe he felt like killing a birdie. IDK. This was a white and pretty birdie. I think the birdie was rich because it had a ring around something. The hunter dude needed 100 birdies to die and get eaten by some royal people. I don’t remember what kind of bird but I guess it was pretty. It was a white one. I think he needed it for a game. There’s a saying in one of Eminem’s songs, and if that ring dot shine imam break that birdies neck, well I guess the ring didn’t shine, cause hunter broke that pretty little birdies neck. He didn’t want the crap from it. The birdie kept rhyming at him, so I don’t blame hunter.

At the end of this story, the pretty birdie dies.

The End.
