Art History Essay

Write a 1,500-word essay analysing your chosen image, including its theme, formal qualities, historical context and relevant key concepts. You are encouraged to compare and contrast your chosen work with either another work by the same artist /

architect or a work from its related historical context.

Images discussed in your essay should be large and clear enough to support your visual analysis. Label each image with a figure number and reference it in the essay when you first mention the works title. For example: Andy Warhol, Untitled (Campbells Soup Can) (c. 1985) (Figure 1).

Use standard identificationsArtist(s), Title (date) (Figure no.)for each work discussed in the text. At the end of your essay, include all images with captions in this format:

Figure no. Artist(s), Title, date. Medium, dimension (cm). Collection (if known).

As tutors will review the word count in MS Word, please do not insert images within the main text.

Word-length includes main text and footnotes, but excludes the cover page, question number, essay title, bibliography, list of images and image captions.

Your essay must go beyond description and present a clear argument about the works significance. When researching, consider questions such as:

What makes this work interesting, relevant, influential, innovative, typical or atypical?

How does it compare with works by the same artist, their contemporaries or their era?

Does it reflect or challenge artistic norms?

How can you engage with intellectual and cultural debates using the sources you have consulted?

A well-structured essay will combine close visual analysis with contextual research to support a coherent argument.

Please center the argument around the theme of gender, use primitivism as one of the key points, how the work links to modernism and modernity, how the flattened panes of colour are displayed on the canvas as an example of the primitive. Paper should also focus on german expressionism and historical context around that time
