BLOG-8 : 20th Century Art

This era or period is more like in the modern type but since it is related or become the modern art, and this period really began in modernism, so for short all of it was more on improve and progress art. Things changes and also art also change but styles are still their. I think, theirs a lot of style here in the century art.

Vincent Van Gogh is a painter who is really a successor in Fauvism that uses impressionism which he paint what he really express from the meaning itself. In here, they just paint very harsh and paint nudes and also patterns that are linear but when you are a artist you never care if they're nude or what so ever, its all about how you present and express your art or the arts. While Die Brucke he is a great painter in oil canvas. He also represents the expressionism style which he emphasis and controlled, meaning they just paint carefully and like soft paintings.
Like I just remember we just tackled about Cubism and the very most famous painter here in this kind of style is Pablo Picasso he used this. And now their are 2 kinds of Cubism ; the  Analytic Cubism and Synthetic Cubism, well analytic from the word itself they just analize. The Trompe l'oeil means makes the illution of depth like 3Dimensional. Synthetic is a form of papers that are cut and put together that is like fake from cubism. Papier Colle is known as Collage now a days.

Furthermore, Dynamism is also said here in this era, it means great energy or force of the painting in the canvas or wherever it is, and it is also constantly in motion.
Here in this period, their art works are like movements, the motion itself is more important than the subject matter itself.

One of the architecture of this period is the 291 gallery is an art exhibit or gallery it is the most famous building in New York, it is created and managed by the famous photographer who is Alfred Stieglitz and also it is known as the " Little galleries of the of the Photo-Secession".
This painting is a "Composition with Red, Blue, Yellow", in our color theory subject we study all the types of color schemes, as an Multimedia student we should know about this things. So the schemes is Primary colors and it is painted by a dutch painter, he is a great artist he is Piet Mondrian. As the reporter said beauty is simplicity and simplicity is the beauty and it all makes sense. Also De stijl means the Style. Fantasy art depicts angels, monster and etc.

Another painting is a Twittering machine, the medium for this painting is paint ink and water color, it is very cool because they just used simple medium and yet the subject rather the painting still stands out. And as I know it also depicts as childish. From those who are anti-art they are called Dadaism, they are against art by using art also. It is like disrespecting the art.

BlOG-7 : MODERN ART

I learned so many things and great stuff in the History of arts. Now I and also we discover the styles of every period. Also the designs, the artist and the style of the painting and architecture. Studying this things makes our skills improve as a Multimedia artist. This is very cool to study also, because its all about art.

The modern art is all about improvement or rather on the name itself, "Modern". It is changes. It talks about Neoclassism which is a french revolution and this period the Roman empire was made a model. It is inspired by the classical period also. This is an example of this period. It is "The oath of the Horatii", this explain drama and also it is a paintertism and shows courage. It has orthogonals and the floor is not horizon and the most topic or the most climax of this painting is the hands and the sword in the middle. That's what I remember about this painting and this was painted by Jacques-Louis david, he is a very nice painter.

Angelica Kauffman who is a woman great painter/artist has a painting that is " The artist in the character of design" He depicted her self in the painting and also show drama and tension which I learn in the Baroque period. I was very amazed on to those who are Rubenistes because they don't made or do draft they just paint directly on the canvas without using any sketch or something they are very hardcore for me. But their painting are like scatterd because it direct like that. And also their is Poussinistes who are drawing drafts they are called the linear artist and it almost true to perfection. The U.S capitol has a hint of classical art because of the architecture and like the poles, I think it is like the Pantheon.

Romanticism is related in Baroque period and they use baroque compositions. The painting " The Third of may" uses a Chiaroscuro technique which uses light and shadow. In this period Photography was made/publish because every era has an improvement. And the first camera that was built was Daguerreotype. It has a light and when the light flashed and it reflect and capture the image through it.
Vincent Van Gogh was famous for this period, he is a dutch master, his mind was kinda crazy and it is not like normal. Because he made a painting that is kinda like very strange. It it the "stary night" As i remember, it is his most famous painting I think. The painting "The scream" Is an image that is like shock or show a sensational emotion. If you know the movie " The Scream " it is the one in the movie, they took the image and made it the bad guy. It is pretty awesome.

The styles in this period was; Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, Post Impressionism and Expressionism.
