Magdalene with Two Flames

Prompt: Focus on Magdalene with Two Flames and explain the abstract.

Magdalene with Two Flames or The Penitent Magdalene is an undated oil-on-canvas painting created c.1640 by the French painter Georges de La Tour. In 1978 Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wrightsman gave it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it still hangs.The painting depicts Mary Magdalene, a companion of Christ, who exchanged her previous worldly lifestyle for a life of penance and contemplation. She is shown, illuminated by a candle, sitting in a meditative pose in front of a mirror. The light from the candle and its reflection create a strong chiaroscuro effect, with the subject's brightly lit face and breast contrasting with the darkness of the rest of the composition.Both the candle and the human skull she is holding are metaphors for the fragility of life and her discarded jewellery for the meaningless value of worldly possessions and for her atonement.The work is one of several by the artist featuring a candlelit Mary Magdalene.

Untitled (Fishing)

Prompt: Focus on Untitled (Fishing) and explain the History.

Jean-Michel Basquiat painted Untitled in 1981, a pivotal year when he transitioned from street artist into the adulation of the New York art scene. He worked in the basement of Annina Nosei's gallery in SoHo where Untitled was executed. The artwork depicts a fisherman wearing a crown of thorns and a halo of the same nature. He is standing at the center of the canvas proudly displays his catch, a large fish hanging at the end of a fishing rod. His black body reveals a white skeletal figure.The painting had previously been auctioned in 1988, a few months after Basquiat's death, and sold for $110,000. Sold by fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier in 2012, it was anticipated to break records before its auction in 2012. Loic Gouzer, international specialist of post-war and contemporary art at Christie's said in a statement: "In contrast to most artists, Basquiat created his best paintings at the beginning of his career. Untitled 1981 unites all the elements of energy, freedom and boldness that one looks for in Basquiat. The market has been waiting a long time for a work of this caliber and freshness, therefore we expect it to set a new record for Basquiat, an artist who is in the process of being recognized as a classic of Post-War American Art alongside Warhol, De Kooning and Pollock." The painting lived up to the pre-sale hype, selling for $26.4 million in November 2012. The sale exceeded Basquiat's previous record of $20.1 million for another Untitled (1981) sold in June 2012. That record has since been surpassed by multiple other paintings. His current record high at auction is Untitled (1982), which sold for $110.5 million at Sotheby's in May 2017.

Echo Gate

Prompt: Focus on Echo Gate and explain the Description.

Echo Gate, designed by Ean Eldred and Rigga and installed under the Morrison Bridge in southeast Portland in 2001, is made of copper and measures 13 feet (4.0 m) x 9 feet (2.7 m) x 7 feet (2.1 m). The abstract gateway features a round opening within a folder rectangle. The Regional Arts & Culture Council, which administers the work, offers the following description: "This artwork is a gate oriented to both the pathway and the river. A sculptural hybrid echoing past pier buildings, the Shanghai tunnels and marine barnacles, it becomes both crenellation and crustacean. The sculpture gives human scale to this immense site and suggests bending an ear to the river amidst the rushing decibels of the freeway."The piece was funded by the City of Portland Development Commission's Percent for Art program, and is part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of the Regional Arts & Culture Council. The sculpture is one of four by Rigga along the esplanade; the others are Alluvial Wall by Peter Nylen, Ghost Ship by James Harrison and Stack Stalk by Ean Eldred.

Diana of Gabii

Prompt: Focus on Diana of Gabii and explain the Description.

The statue represents a young woman of more than life size, standing in drapery. The weight of the body rests on the right leg, supported by a tree stump; the left leg is left free.  The left foot is thrown back and the heel slightly raised with the toes turned outward.The statue is generally identified as Artemis, virgin goddess of hunting and the wild, solely on account of her clothing. She wears what is effectively a short chiton with large sleeves, typical of the goddess. The chiton is bound by two belts: one is visible around her waist, the other is hidden, allowing a portion of the fabric to be gathered, shortening the chiton and exposing the knees. The goddess is represented in the process of pinning her cloak on: her right hand holds a fibula and lifts a fold of her clothing on her right shoulder while her left hand lifts another fold of cloth up to chest level. The movement causes the collar of the chiton to fall, leaving the left shoulder exposed.The head is turned slightly to the right, but the goddess is not really focussed on what she is doing. Instead she looks out into space, as is common for statues of the Second classicism. Her flowing hair is pulled back by a  band tied above her neck. This hair is gathered in a bun held by a second ribbon which is not visible.

Diana of Gabii

Prompt: Focus on Diana of Gabii and explain the Attribution.

According to Pausanias, Praxiteles created the statue of Artemis of Brauron for the Athenian Acropolis. Temple inventories dating from 347/6 BC mention among other things, a "dedicated statue," described as representing the goddess in a chitoniskos.  It is also known that the cult practiced for Artemis Brauronia included the consecration of garments offered by girls.Praxiteles' statue has long been connected with the Diana of Gabii: the goddess apparently in the act of putting on the gift of her followers. Furthermore the head resembles that of the Aphrodite of Cnidus and the Apollo Sauroctonos which are also attributed to Praxiteles. However, the identification has been questioned on several grounds. Firstly, the inventories discovered at Athens have been proven to be copies of those from the sanctuary at Brauron – it is not certain the cult in Athens also involved the dedication of cloaks. In addition, the short chiton is anachronistic for the fourth century BC and instead suggests a Hellenistic date. Finally, a more recent hypothesis connects Praxiteles' statue of Artemis Brauronia with a head in the Museum of the Ancient Agora, known as the Despinis Head.Nevertheless, the Diana of Gabii is of strikingly high quality, and conforms closely to what is commonly considered to be the Praxitelian style, leading some scholars to maintain  that the statue is a work of Praxiteles or one of his sons.
