Yo, I kind of came up with another mnemonic for one of the artists that we were supposed to read about. Thomas Moran, who did the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
As stupid as it is… “You’d have to be a Moran (Moron) to fall into the Grand Canyon”. XD
Nice! I like it!
haha! definitely not forgetting that now!
Ok, I remembered one that works as well. Remember the mnemonic for Vanderlyn from the first test?
“Vee Vander here early!” It works on this test too. Vanderlyn is all early 19th cent.
Allston is ALWAYS EARLY.
For A.B. Durand, my mnemonic is U R in the middle, meaning Durand is Mid 19th century. Yes, I know I’m stupid XD.
Maybe you could remember “Rainy Season in the Tropics” (Double Rainbow) by remembering that we learned in CHURCH (, Frederick) that God made a rainbow for Noah after the flood.
John Rogers is kind of a common name, and he made table sculptures for common people.
Slave Auction
Fugitive’s Story
Checkers up at the Farm
It doesn’t look like Puck has grown any HAIR YET (HARRIET Hosmer)…
Voyeur Vanderlyn=first nude in American art (Ariadne).
Interestingly one person is at least mostly topless in all three of the Vanderlyn paintings that Dr. Martin showed in class.
The first great American seascape was by WASHington Allston (Rising of a Thunderstorm)
Kinda cheesy…=/
ALLston is hailed as America’s ALL-time finest artist; Gilbert Stuart is the finest portrait painter.
