Statue of Charles Linn

Prompt: Focus on Statue of Charles Linn and explain the History.

The statue was commissioned from sculptor Branko Medenica by the Alabama-Mississippi Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in honor of their "Legacy of Leadership" campaign chairman, Arthur Henley, a descendant of Linn. The statue was announced in 2012, and dedicated on "World MS Day" on May 29, 2013. Medenica attended the dedication.Linn was honored for his contribution to the early development of Birmingham, a city founded several years after the U.S. Civil War. His National Bank of Birmingham, which survives as the Regions Financial Corporation, was a signal institution in the young city. During the war, Linn sent his wife and younger children to Dresden and moved with his oldest son, Charles Washington Linn, to Mobile, where they set themselves up as blockade runners under contract to the Confederate Quartermaster Bureau. The venture failed and the Linns were captured as prisoners of war. After their parole, Linn took a position with a New Orleans wholesaler before founding his bank in the newly created city of Birmingham. On May 31, 2020, during the George Floyd protests, Linn Park filled with protesters eager to destroy the nearby Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument. Because of his association with the Confederacy, Linn's statue was also defaced and eventually toppled.Medenica, who had incorporated a tribute of his own to his sister-in-law who died of MS, said he understood why the statue was toppled but lamented the loss of his personal commemoration: "They didn't know. I think it was like mass hysteria gone out of control. You know so it sad. It's sad." The artist has said he would be willing to restore the sculpture.

St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria

Prompt: Focus on St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria and explain the History.

The work is a huge canvas (telero) destined for the Scuola Grande di San Marco in Venice. It is 26 m2 in surface, and has rich narrative and iconographic features. The cycle of paintings with stories of the life of St Mark was completed around 60 years later by Giorgione and Tintoretto, and is today housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera and the Accademia in Venice.The canvas was started by Gentile in July 1504, but after his death in February 1507, when it was "largely completed", it passed to his brother Giovanni, as indicated in Gentile's will. Giovanni completed it, making some modifications. The invitation to complete it was probably from his brother just before he died, to which Giovanni probably responded negatively, This explains its insertion in the will of the clause that consigned a precious collection of drawing to Giovanni should he complete the painting. The commission was confirmed as being passed to Giovanni by the Scuola on 7 March 1507.The scene is rich with exotic elements adapted from real-life that Gentile had the opportunity to study during his trip to Constantinople in 1479–1480. Decorative elements of Mamluk architecture, rather than Ottoman, suggest that the artist may also have reached Jerusalem. This painting combines two distinct moments in time, one ancient and one contemporary to Bellini's life, as well as three different places, Alexandria, Venice, and a mountainous landscape in the background. The arrangement of the huge "historia," imagined as an arranged portrayal on a wide stage shut on three sides by huge architectural dividers, was plainly Gentile. The style of the design proposed to the painter during his excursion in the East (where the Republic had sent him in 1479 in the entourage of a discretionary mission) is quite similar to Mameluke models, which prompted the hypothesis that Gentile may have continued from Constantinople to Jerusalem on a journey, and from that point have recorded new building thoughts that were not quite the same as Ottoman styles, the last being more natural to Venetians.It is not clear which parts were done by which brother: Vasari only mentioned Gentile in the 1550 version of the Vite, and omitting them in the 1568 edition. Modern criticism considers Gentile to have done the background, except for the modified parts, and possibly the characters on the right hand. Giovanni is assigned with some certainty the portraits on the left, and some of the central group.The painting of St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria was commissioned by the Scuola Grande di San Marco (Great Confraternity of St. Mark) in Venice for their gathering house in the Campo San Giovanni e Polo, perhaps the biggest important square in Venice. The great Confraternity of St. Mark was reconstructed after a massive fire took a hit on the old structure on 31 March 1485 toward the end of the fifteenth century. The room that contained the most prestigious paintings and focus was the meeting space where it demonstrated their patron saint's narrating life. The Scuola Grande di San Marco looked to the most valuable painter Gentile Bellini to create this painting.The canvas was reduced at an unknown time, a strip along the top being cut away, where the buildings finished. The work arrived in the Brera in 1809, following the Napoleonic invasion.

St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria

Prompt: Focus on St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria and explain the Description.

The large-scale oil painting depicts a massive stage in the center of the main city and the pavement appears to be created of large square red brick stones. Behind the stage are three tall blue domed temples along with minaret-like towers and big square light colored houses, along the side as well. The side buildings are decorated with light colored red facade and rooftop porches on top. In front of the stage, there are about a hundred contrastingly dressed individuals who have assembled on this square. The men are shown wearing caftans, frocks, cloaks, turbans, and immense hats, while the women are dressed in white from head to ankle-length veils. The attribution of the different pieces of the work to every artisan is as yet a matter of discussion among researchers; in any case, the most generally held view allots Gentile the meaning of the primary lines of the scene, where components of Venetian engineering are superimposed on structures of unmistakably Mediterranean and Oriental inference.The background of the painting is overpowered by the assortment and distinction of various building structures and models that are reflected by the painted cityscape. In one manner or the other, the various buildings all appear to insinuate a wide range of Eastern Mediterranean architectural types. To indicate just a portion of the implications: The gigantic structure in the focal point of the square, for instance, looks to some extent like Eastern holy places. With its structure of round curves, its marble-shaded façade adornments, and glossy vault covers, it reviews a portion of the primary qualities of early Byzantine holy places. The most generally held view allots Gentile the meaning of the primary lines of the scene, where components of Venetian engineering are superimposed on structures of unmistakably Mediterranean and Oriental inference.

St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria

Prompt: In St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria, how is the Description discussed?

The large-scale oil painting depicts a massive stage in the center of the main city and the pavement appears to be created of large square red brick stones. Behind the stage are three tall blue domed temples along with minaret-like towers and big square light colored houses, along the side as well. The side buildings are decorated with light colored red facade and rooftop porches on top. In front of the stage, there are about a hundred contrastingly dressed individuals who have assembled on this square. The men are shown wearing caftans, frocks, cloaks, turbans, and immense hats, while the women are dressed in white from head to ankle-length veils. The attribution of the different pieces of the work to every artisan is as yet a matter of discussion among researchers; in any case, the most generally held view allots Gentile the meaning of the primary lines of the scene, where components of Venetian engineering are superimposed on structures of unmistakably Mediterranean and Oriental inference.The background of the painting is overpowered by the assortment and distinction of various building structures and models that are reflected by the painted cityscape. In one manner or the other, the various buildings all appear to insinuate a wide range of Eastern Mediterranean architectural types. To indicate just a portion of the implications: The gigantic structure in the focal point of the square, for instance, looks to some extent like Eastern holy places. With its structure of round curves, its marble-shaded façade adornments, and glossy vault covers, it reviews a portion of the primary qualities of early Byzantine holy places. The most generally held view allots Gentile the meaning of the primary lines of the scene, where components of Venetian engineering are superimposed on structures of unmistakably Mediterranean and Oriental inference.

St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria

Prompt: Focus on St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria and explain the Subject.

This painting depicts St. Mark, who lived in Alexandria in the first-century. In the painting, he is preaching to Muslims and some Venetian guests, including peers of the artist and Gentile himself. The structure behind resembles San Marco in Venice, but with the lack of its decoration and sculptural figures. St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria presents two particular moments in history and three spots—Alexandria, Venice, and the mountains. Since many Venetians would not have understood what Alexandria looked like, everybody would have perceived it as San Marco. The hieroglyph on the obelisk directly above Mark symbolizes that the ancient Egyptians foresaw Christianity. By including contemporary Venetians and Mamluk Egyptians, Gentile is actually making a reference to the present and expressing a hope of hope of reconverting these Muslims to Christianity. St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria makes known the expectation of reconverting Alexandria, with St. Mark as an exemplar. Gentile Bellini presented the canvas as a substitute history where Venetians and Muslims intermix in a spot that is neither Venice nor Alexandria and is instead a fanciful city joining highlights of the two locations.

St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria

Prompt: In the context of St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria, explain the Gentile Bellini and the Attribution.

Gentile Bellini (1429–1507) was born in Venice and was very well known during his time; he was the son of a wealthy artist, Jacobo Bellini, and the older brother of Giovanni Bellini. Gentile was an equipped and fastidious painter and ran the Bellini family workshop, yet he was eclipsed by his more skilled and imaginative sibling Giovanni. He was a Venetian painter particularly known for representations and compositions of the public buildings. Gentile was one of the first to begin the use of oil painting and of the canvas. Venetian painters in the fifteenth-century incorporated stories in their paintings. This style was portrayed with attention on all details of the picture. The main subject of the painting was regularly out of sight, aside, or in any case marginally darkened.

Prompt: In the context of St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria, explain the Giovanni Bellini and the Attribution.

Giovanni Bellini (1431/36–1516) was born in Venice and was born into an important art family. As he worked in his father's workshop, he demonstrated potential by concentrating on small and medium-size reverential boards for private proprietorship. Bellini first connected and worked with his brother Gentile up until the point of his death. After 1479, he routinely worked for the doge's royal residence, where he was charged to paint scenes of Venetian history. After his older brother Gentile's demise in 1507, he finished St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria, which Giovanni had started painting.

The Green Stripe

Prompt: Focus on The Green Stripe and explain the abstract.

The Green Stripe (also known as The Green Line or Madame Matisse) is an oil painting from 1905 by French artist Henri Matisse of his wife, Amélie Noellie Matisse-Parayre. The title stems from the vertical green stripe down the middle of Madame Matisse's face, an artistic decision consistent with the techniques and values of Fauvism. The painting features a bust-length view of Madame Matisse in blocks of bold and vibrant colors. It is associated with the Fauvist Movement due to this unnatural and experimental use of color. The portrait has received both praise and criticism due to this technique as well as the artistic representation of the model. The Green Stripe is currently displayed in the Staten Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Green Stripe

Prompt: Focus on The Green Stripe and explain the Fauvist context.

Matisse spent the summer of 1905 painting and drawing in the Mediterranean fishing town of Collioure, France with fellow artist André Derain. During this time, Matisse and Derain explored the role of color in their art, using blotches of bright and bold colors that did not always follow the actual natural coloring of their subject. This experimental summer was foundational to the movement now known as Fauvism, which was characterized by vibrant and unnatural colors and the simplification of line. Matisse and Derain were leaders in this movement. Matisse spoke about color as "a force." He said "My paintings consist of four or five colors which clash with one another expressively. When I apply green, that does not mean grass. When I apply blue, that does not mean sky. It is their accord or their opposition which opens in the viewer’s mind an illusory space." This nontraditional use of color is seen in The Green Stripe and was controversial in the art world. One critic described the artists as "les fauves" or "wild beasts" who offended the viewer with their outrageous and unnatural colors. This insult effectively named the movement Fauvism.During Matisse’s time in Collioure, he created multiple iconic Fauvist paintings in addition to The Green Stripe. Other famous paintings from this period include The Open Window, Collioure and Woman with a Hat. The Green Stripe was made within months of Woman with a Hat and the paintings have commonly been understood to be in dialogue with each other.

The Green Stripe

Prompt: Focus on The Green Stripe and explain the Analysis.

The Green Stripe depicts the bust of Madame Amélie Matisse with one side of her face in direct light, indicated by pink with orange and red along her chin and ear, and the other side painted yellow, indicating half-light. The middle of her face famously has a vertical streak of green from her hairline down her nose to her top lip. Her hair, eyebrows, and eyes are all a deep blue and she is dressed in an orange and pink blouse or dress with a teal neckline. The background is split between pink and orange on one side and teal on the other side.These bold colors are organized into sections that define Madame Matisse's facial features and the lighting of the room wherein she is seated. These blocks of pure color are similar to the techniques of Gauguin and Van Gogh and show development in Matisse's approach to color as he moved away from Impressionism. This evolution can be seen in the contrast between Woman with a Hat and The Green Stripe, which both depict Amélie. Matisse employed shorter paint strokes and a variety of intermingling colors in Woman with a Hat, creating a whimsical environment that does not delve into the character of the subject. The Green Stripe is more serious and intimate with harder lines and a focus on Amelie’s face. Intensity and life come from the purity of color and the tension between the contrasting colors in each part of her face. Even with this closeness, the model still seems mysterious and almost nonhuman.The conversation between Woman with a Hat and The Green Stripe shows how Amélie was nothing but a model in these paintings. Matisse prioritized his artistic vision and message over the actual personality of the sitter, his wife. Critics and friends alike were unsettled by the lack of humanity in this portrait. A friend of the painting's owners Michael and Sarah Stein called it "a demented caricature of a portrait," and in 1910 the critic Gelett Burgess wrote that The Green Stripe was Matisse's "punishment" of Amélie that compelled the viewer "to see in her a strange and terrible aspect." The art historian John Klein has suggested that difficulties in the Matisses' marriage may have contributed to the portrait's impersonal and mask-like character.

A friend of the painting's owners Michael and Sarah Stein called it "a demented caricature of a portrait," and in 1910 the critic Gelett Burgess wrote that The Green Stripe was Matisse's "punishment" of Amélie that compelled the viewer "to see in her a strange and terrible aspect." The art historian John Klein has suggested that difficulties in the Matisses' marriage may have contributed to the portrait's impersonal and mask-like character.

Flag (painting)

Prompt: Focus on Flag (painting) and explain the Description.

The work measures 42.2 inches (107.3 cm) by 60.6 inches (153.8 cm). It is made using encaustic, oil paint, and newsprint collage on three separate canvases, mounted on a plywood board. The painting reflects the three colors of the U.S. flag: red, white and blue; the flag is depicted in the form that it took between 1912 and 1959, with 48 white stars on a blue canton representing the then-48 U.S. states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii), and with thirteen red and white stripes. Newsprint is visible under the stripes. Reading the texts, it is clear that the newsprint was not selected at random: Johns steered clear of headlines, or national or political news, and used inconsequential articles or adverts. The painting has a rough-textured surface, and the 48 stars are not identical. It is dated 1954 on its reverse.
