Enhanced Realism In The Development Of My Painting, Zifen Qian
Enhanced Realism In The Development Of My Painting, Zifen Qian
Dissertations and Theses
It is a basic truth that the artist must have independent experience and personality in order to create art from life. Combining a traditional realistic style with some elements of abstract composition fits my personality. My paintings represent a pursuit of this idea that is the enhanced realism in the development of my painting.

Science/Technology/Abstraction: Art At The End Of The Decade, Wright State University Art Galleries
Science/Technology/Abstraction: Art At The End Of The Decade, Wright State University Art Galleries
Exhibition and Program Catalogs
Science and technology are two dominant art themes that have been weaving their way through the 1980s. This show makes that point very strongly, but in doing so it does not I intend to show every work of art that has used scientific or technological subject matter, or has been hooked up to an electric outlet during this I decade. That would be both I indiscriminate and unrewarding. What this exhibition does set out to do is give enough breadth of focus to the subject to make it understandable that many artists in the past few years have been using …

Things Seen And Remembered, Charlien Dee Fitzpatrick
Things Seen And Remembered, Charlien Dee Fitzpatrick
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis project consists of twenty oil paintings and watercolors. It is a series of visual problems based on work from direct observation as opposed to work from imagination. The concern is to show how the works from observed nature affect the imaginary pieces and how the imaginary works lend unexpected elements to the observed works. With a particular interest in color, visual energy, and painterly form, the project shows how these two avenues of exploration start out separately and eventually blend.

An Introduction To Oriental Carpets: The Arthur D. Jenkins Collection, Carol Bier
An Introduction To Oriental Carpets: The Arthur D. Jenkins Collection, Carol Bier
Textile Research Works
Oriental carpets have long fascinated the American public. Rich colors and attractive designs, as well as lush pile and renowned durability have given them a well-deserved reputation as beautiful and useful floor-coverings. Handmade products of far distant lands, their complicated patterns also evoke the romance of luxury and the Orient in days of yore. Yet Oriental carpets also represent both social history and manufacturing traditions related to the human needs, economy, and ecological constraints of their cultural origins.
Arthur D. Jenkins, an American collector of Oriental carpets, was intrigued by the social origins of rugs. Early in his collecting career, …
Dragons, Blossoms, Sunbursts: Textile Arts Of The Caucasus, Carol Bier
Dragons, Blossoms, Sunbursts: Textile Arts Of The Caucasus, Carol Bier
Textile Research Works
Rugs from the Caucasus have long been appreciated in Europe and America. Widely known for their bright colors and bold designs, Caucasian rugs have attracted collectors for nearly a century. These rugs, produced in towns and villages, reflect regional design traditions which were amalgamated from diverse sources.
Although embroideries and flatweaves (rugs without pile) from the Caucasus are less well known in the West, their designs are no less bold nor their colors less striking. Produced as a domestic art, they were destined for home use and local commerce. The richness of patterns in these textile arts is in part …
Carpets And History, Carol Bier
Carpets And History, Carol Bier
Textile Research Works
The story of Western trade with Persia in textiles and carpets casts a fascinating light on the exciting, sometimes turbulent history of the centuries following Europe's Age of Exploration. The intense commercial and political rivalries of European mercantile expansion during the 400-year period from about 1500 to 1900 is revealed both by official historical documents - treaties, royal decrees and contracts - and by more personal ones, such as the reports of traveling merchants. Through the details of production and trade that these documents contain, we can view textiles and carpets as key commodities in the international marketplace. They played …
