Art has been around for centuries, expressed in various ways through different mediums; painting, drawing, photography, music, and so many more. Each having smaller categories within them. One can create a portrait with different types of paint, chalk, pens and pencils, the lens of a camera. A musician can convey a feeling within lyrics, or notes of a song. Separate forms of art, yet if you look closely enough, you can see similarities as well.
Dada art was intended to be weird in many ways. It reflects the opposite of traditional art, in other words, anti-art. The goal of Dadaism was to shock the world of art to its core to give a surprising non-traditional view to the world while protesting the war. Dadaism was so powerfully unnatural through its view on non-traditional perspectives on the fine arts for example like poetry, literature, and drama, as well as visual art, Dada certainly deserves to be remembered as one of the most influential art movements of the 20th
The most influential is Pablo Picasso and his paintings. “Les Demoiselles was the precursor of a new style called cubism” (395). Cubism was a new style of modern art. With the spread of technology and finding its’ way into the art realm, it produced a new style art called “Futurism”. Since the Modernism era was about expression away from tradition, this idea was the birth of “expressionism” in art.
Paintings, prints, drawing, crafts, photography are all forms of art which many artists specialize and utilize to display their creativity, sometimes bring awareness to certain social issue and also exploit the less fortunate for their fame. Some well-known artists like Vik Muniz in the
When reading literature, one can find ways to connect what they are reading to other aspects of their life and draw comparisons between the two. For example, literature tends to develop from themes that are relevant in a writer’s personal life that also happen to be occurring in the reader’s life. More specifically, art and literature often go hand in hand and tell similar stories while using different mediums. A city such as Paris with its rich history of artists and lavishly abundant museums lends itself many opportunities to experience these types of similarities. Particularly, Musee d’Orsay’s Mystical Landscapes exhibit highlighted countless pieces that were left open for interpretation.
The artists and their easels remind me of Paris. The artists creative process which flows along with the river bank. A process so foreign to those who cannot exhibit their immense creativity is nothing short of a miracle. These artists demonstrate a fantastic flare of developing charcoal, caricatures, and landscapes paintings show people their perspective of the world.
The study of art history allows students to discover anew the world in which they live. Throughout the year students will learn about how people have responded to and communicated their experiences through art, as well as the historic and cultural contexts in which it
The art produced today has been influenced by the rebellious founders and their development of the impressionism movement. Even though the first exhibition of the impressionism movement was not as successful as they hoped, it was the starting point for a new way of thinking about and creating
The 20th Century was a time period full of excitement, sorrow, joy, loss, and many different events. In the aspect of art, many pieces were made throughout the time period, filled with complexity, styled with different techniques, and mostly inspired from past experiences or emotions. Some pieces of art were realistic, while others followed the Cubistic style with a variety of colors and lines. Each praised artist had come from different walks of life and from cities across the world. Throughout the 20th Century, multiple exemplementry art has emerged with different intricacy and variety of approaches, giving the viewer a different standpoint in the artist's life or event.
What can it mean to us, now? About culturally different art, of the past and present we generally wonder, What does or did it mean to them, there? What can it mean to us, here?
Dada is an attitude and style that is interested in irrationality and calls attention to the order and problems of the society. Marcel Duchamp pioneered Dadaism, which started out in Zurich in 1910s with the focus on issues of change and developed its influence worldwide with most representational cities as New York and Berlin. Thierry de Duve, the author of “pictorial nominalism: on Marcel Duchamp's passage from painting to the readymade ” was born in 1944 in Belgium. He is a philosopher, critic, and historian of art (Duve, Pvi) focusing on “the questions modern art poses to philosophical aesthetic”. Pictorial Nominalism is the first book published by Thierry, his later more renowned publications include “Kant after Duchamp” and “Clement Greenberg
The art movement Dadaism emerged after the outbreak of World War I as a protest against the war, conformity, and bourgeois capitalist society. The aim of the movement was to create something chaotic, something anti-war, anti-logic, and anti-art. Widely believed to have originated in Zurich, Switzerland, the movement spread throughout Europe and then to New York where it reached the height of its renown because of artists like Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia, and Man Ray. Duchamp led the American Dada movement and is considered responsible for changing the course of art history because of his contributions to the beginnings of conceptual art. He became famous for his “readymade” art, a term used by him to represent everyday objects he assembled
The course, European studies in Europe, stands out to be a special chance for me to expose myself to the real environment of Europe, especially Germany, where I spent ten days and visited three significant cities with their own distinguishing characteristics: Berlin, Dresden, and Munich. Compared with Dresden with its relics reflecting German outstanding achievement in ancient time, and Munich representing the re-establishment of German pride after the long twentieth Century, exemplified by the spectacular Olympiaturm and BMW-Welt, Berlin left the deepest impression on me for the strong presence of historical remains of the World War and Holocaust, together with the modern architectures, forming an incredible juxtaposition of different but important moments of German history and pointing out the significance of this particular historic era in forming modern German national identity. Thus, focusing on the sights and sounds in
Marcel Duchamp was born in 1887 and died in 1968. He began to view art as physical objects rather than a crafted piece such as paintings or sculptures. He pushed boundaries stating that it was the artistic idea itself that counts, not the craftsmanship. He began many object creations that would later lead to a new art movement, conceptualism. He is regarded as the father of conceptualism, creating many controversial and famed pieces during his time.
This research was carried out not to only show awareness toward the society but also why people should take art seriously. Often times, we can see lots of people debating whether art is important or not. This happened because the lack of exposure and knowledge that has been taught to them. Art can help to shape the society and affect the society to broaden their view of perspective in life by referring on the artworks because each work of art can give different meanings to life.
