April 11, 2012 The Moment In-Between We are in a world of the known and the unknown. Some of us tend to stick to the known for their own reasons and some would prefer to understand the things that we can only imagine. In the world of art we see many ideas and interpretations of both. When coming across a piece called Vessel by an artist named Sarah Wiseman, I found the feeling of being in-between the known and unknown. The artwork had subjects that looked very familiar but took on a form that left room for the imagination.
Regardless of artist intent, the significance of any artwork is created by the audience, who is influenced by the views of their world and personal experience. The French artist Edouard Manet, who worked primarily in the 1860’s, and contemporary Australian artist Bill Henson both employ the subject matter of the female nude in their art, but with different outcomes due to the influence of their separate contexts. It can be seen that particular art critics from different contexts interpret these artists’ works differently, due to the changing attitudes to the human figure over time. Their artworks are interpreted according to the audience’s social, cultural and historical circumstances, with critical opinion having influence over audience perceptions
It is clear that Dix was not accurately depicting Dr. Heinrich Stadelmann as he would appear in life. This raises the question whether Stadelmann would have approved of the finished artwork, and what it was Dix was trying to say. As with any artwork, it is impossible to know where Dix’s interpretation ends and the viewer’s subjective inventiveness begins. Therein lies the effectiveness of art as a combined experience that transcends the intent of the artist. Dix may lay the groundwork through his strategic use of artistic elements, but it is ultimately the observer that builds the
Art is a representation of someone's thoughts or emotions that cannot be articulated easily into words. Art is a method of freedom, a system to explore unimaginable ways to view art and techniques of art. Art can appear to look like anything, can be molded into anything, and can be viewed differently by millions of people but still come together to touch hearts and glow in its beauty. When looking upon Allie McGhee's artwork, Running Wild, the multiple colors, shapes and textures leaves viewers with different perspectives of the artwork. Upon closer and longer examination of the artwork, viewers see that McGhee invokes symbolic indications with shapes such as squares and with colors on the canvas to created excitement without developing
When we're speaking with someone, there's always a thin line that's easy to cross. Whether it's taking a joke too far or touching a awkward topic, there are always boundaries, that if crossed, relationships can get destroyed. But do the same rules apply to art? Is there a line that shouldn't be crossed or a topic too controversial? I argue that having the ability to be controversial is what makes art, art.
Throughout art history, collaboration in artistic practice has moved into the mainstream of cultural production and is now being taken for granted as one of the main significant ways in which artists can choose to operate. There are some artists who have come together from a reaction against political and cultural establishments and there are some who have chosen to work collaboratively as a positive choice to create meaningful art. Alex Kershaw’s statement, “as an artist, you are not a machine in a studio. You are not working alone, you are in a community, working with other people,” suggests that the environment around practicing artists has an impact on the change between the artists and especially the work in which they are trying to create. The significance of collaboration in artistic practice can be seen through the community and the people who chose to support their work, people such as contractors, architects and government bodies.
What makes this so different and interesting to the eye is not only the style in which it was painted, but what was being painted. . With everything going on in the painting, the impression is that of silence and control. This painting may be viewed as simple, but creating it was far from simple. When Seurat made a decision to travel to La Grande Jantte, he found his inspiration.
The fact is, most modern art, which is what these pieces are, is not canonical. They are simply about being aesthetically pleasing and do not necessarily have to have a deeper meaning which is what I imagine art must have to be canonical. While Hide and Seek made me feel something, instead of buying the work, I would probably spend my money on some blue tissue paper and take some of my old trophies and create the same
Dezueze is more critical, and claims that she will reveal the true effect that precariousness, as brought on by these unique pieces of works, has done and ultimately will do to this specific genre of art. I am not a proponent of her idea that these pieces of art are “precarious”, however I do see them as being very reality shattering for people who may have thought art was limited to things outside of
I do not believe this statement is true. I believe in a lot of cases this may be true, but not always. I think it depends on the client and what there individual needs are. A personalised script allows for more person centred approach and in so cases is needed. However in many cases this is not possible.
