"Waste Land" by Vik Muniz

-
Easily as concerned with social and environmental issues as it is with the fine-art career that sets it in motion,"Waste land" introduces Vik Muniz, an artist known for photographs that construct portraits or recreate famous images using materials like sugar, chocolate syrup, and trash.

The greatest difference between the Renaissance and Baroque era is in the style used by artists. Renaissance painters and sculptors were among the first to use perspective in their work. This allowed them to give more realism to their creations. However, this focus on adding depth to their work has made paintings and sculptures seem to lack emotions and failed to capture the emotions that it should depict. This lack of expression was solved by Baroque artists as seen in their famous works. They focused more on the drama of the subject they were trying to showcase. In the following examples we will get to see some of Rembrandt's great work depicting the best of Baroque art.  A portrait of the fur merchant in  Simon Schama ’s Rembrand  Nicolaes Rut, who sells fur is advertising his merchandise.The fur coat on the merchant looked as if the fur had been brushed up causing the fur to look like it is standing up by static. The pinked inner color of his eyelids makes it se...
