Name: Tutor: Course: Date: The works of Vincent van Gogh and sol LeWitt and Japanese influence on European art 1. In drawing a comparison and contrast between the works of Vincent van Gogh and sol LeWitt, Vincent van Gogh’s application of symbolic colors and paint to express subjective emotion have created the basis of defining abstract expressionism, which started with the Americans after the World War II movement of art creation and presentation. LeWitt’s work, on the other hand, has been used as a basis for the use of traditional art materials during the creation of artworks. However, his use of traditional art materials had been improved, to involve the use of digital technology and computers to create and edit these materials. Some
A modernist, Strand was highly influenced by Alfred Stieglitz and Charles Sheeler. His work had a huge impact on the f/64 school of photographers (Ansel Adams, Edward Weston etc). In 1915 he started working with large format cameras (then referred to as “straight photography”). Combining elements of abstraction and reality in his compositions, Strand began to develop his own personal style. Heavily influenced by Stieglitz and Charles Sheeler, his subject matter ranged from architectural pictures, portraits and still life
In the painting there are intense colors show and the Expressionism is linking with Fauvism and making a great influence on the painting. Everyone in the picture seems to have a purpose and a task as to doing something whether it is going to work, or shopping, or just walking around. One of the members of Die Brucke was Emil Nolde who was also a member of the German expressionist painters. He was known for
His work involved altarpieces, religious works, and self-portraits. Some examples of his masterpieces are "Knight, Death, and the Devil" from 1513 and "St. Jerome in his Study" from 1514. Another art form during the Italian Renaissance was sculptures. A famous sculptor was Donatello who designed the sculpture of David. The sculpture was very realistic because it brought dramatic shapes to life.
When looking at the history of art and painting, many revolutions and movements are focused around Europe and its artists. Although the majority of the art history is traced back to European art, the artistic movements that were happening in Europe were not limited to European soil. Many painters in America were influenced by Romanticism, and Thomas Cole was one of those painters. Although Thomas Cole was anything but a simple American painter; he conveyed European culture to America and was a large contributor to the development of American heritage. A leading light and a bridge between generations of artists, Thomas Cole and his art were a strong foundation from which the future of American landscape painting would be built.
As for his painting career, there is only a few paintings he is fully credited for or recognized as his work. In his paintings, he has had help and collaborated with his pupils that passed as apprentices in his workshop. A couple of the most famous of his pupils include Leonardo Da Vinci and Lorenzo di Credi. Whenever Verrocchio didn’t finish something, he would leave it to someone else to put some finishing touches. He left amazing art behind soon died of an unknown cause in 1488.
Pop artists celebrated images from television, movies, and print media. In his monumental paintings, Close showed ³society¹s dependency on second-hand visual experiences². Using a photo realistic technique that showed a lot of detail, he painted mostly himself as well as family and friends. In his more recent work, Close has departed from these camera-like images and moved toward the use of multi-colored squares and diamonds that contain swirls of contrasting hues. From a distance these brushstrokes resemble a
“The Three Talented Photographers & Their Incredible Work” The three famous photographers I have decided to write about include Cecil Beaton, Ernest Withers, and David Lachapelle. These photographers’ photos stood out to me more compared to many other photographers’ work I’ve seen. Why you may ask? Because of their unique style and the way they portrayed their photos. Cecil Beaton was a British portrait photographer and a theatrical designer.
His reputation is based on only 35 paintings, but during his lifetime he was virtually unknown to the world and was not appreciated to for his works. Created some 200 years ago before the invention of modern camera, his paintings still fascinates modern filmmakers. His paintings are remarkably photographic and make modern viewers wonder how did he do that. Although many critics of Vermeer believe that he used Camera Obscura to paint his photographic paintings, actually modern technology proves that Vermeer used a simple technique known for centuries to paint his masterpieces. Vermeer often shows calm and quietness in most of his paintings, but his life was surprisingly different.
Early photography was used in many ways. One very popular application of photography was to replicate works of art or make it easier for artists to trace a subject. Photographic books were created, documenting botanical specimens and even portrait work. As portrait photography became popular, photographers experimented with numerous subjects one subject being the dead. Before being able to permanently record an exact photographic image artists used the camera obscura to help with their drawing.
