Compare/contrast “The Lady in Yellow” by Max Kurzweil and “Venus of Urbino” by Titian.

Description

Select two artworks (“The Lady in Yellow” and “Venus of Urbino”), and write a compare/contrast paper. The pieces must be by different artists. Include a formal analysis (line, color, texture, shape), content analysis (subject matter, iconography, symbolism), historical context (social and political conditions, historical events, economic trends, cultural and religious attitudes, geography, other works of art), biographical analysis (of artist/s), method of encounter (how is this different from seeing a work of art in person),and writings about art (formalist, ideological, psychoanalytic, structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction, feminist, relational aesthetics). As you gather your resources, keep track of the full bibliographical information (author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, page numbers, URLs, creation or modification dates on Web pages, and your date of access). You must cite the source for any words or ideas that are not your own, when you quote exact words, and when you paraphrase.
