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
The advent of conceptual art has a revolutionary impact in art history. It challenged the traditional perception, practice and notion of art through a single or a combination of a number of new mediums including text, document, photo, sound, video, ready-made, performance and many others. Conceptual art is sometimes considered postmodern as it often confronts challenges and attacks the ideas of authority and mass. What is the central role photography played in conceptual art movement? What is the relationship between conceptual art and postmodernism?
He’s painting “woman and Bicycle”, he painted a picture of a large woman whose throat is slashed. Pop art which is short for popular art came about in the mid 1950’s in Britain, it was known also as the visual movement. It migrated to the United States by the early 1960’s. This movement was based on ordinary objects, everyday objects and/or items that are easy recognized such as logos, fashion and advertising, things that one would see in magazines. Andy Warhol (1928-1987), was an American leading artist in the pop movement.
We learn atrocities of holocausts and genocidal wars through existing evidence of sore documentary photographs – atrocity photographs, but the concept of atrocity photography is itself far for being innocent, simply because every photograph of such an event is a bit of high-level moralized political argument, encouraging the viewer to bear witness, to make judgments, to take sides . Willing to create my response paper especially upon piece of contemporary recollection of the past - the “Remembering to Remember” period of Barbie Zelizer - I would like to question her viewpoint mainly built upon underlining that that human suffering was understood at that time without consideration of the context and events presented in the image (p 174 and p 180). As she reasonably noted about nineties, two main prominent practices – memory attached to commemoration of certain events; and memory that involved ruptures in the ongoing consensus about atrocity story – existed. By illustrating the misleading experience of PBS series (p 189) and by introducing the debates over atrocity photography – less associated with the event itself, but more concerned about how remember the atrocity – Zelizer touches the question of continuation of shaping the stories behind atrocity and ethics and politics of reinterpreting it, which is, I believe, the central idea of our readings in this week, but which, however, lacks to be explained in its matter. It is Zelizer that introduces that this idea to be not only a concern of modern era, but rather a dilemma of even nineties as well, when, according to the author, first debates and conferences about the question took place (p 191).
Thus, I think Mona Lisa is the most suitable artwork for me to mediate different meanings produced since the Renaissance until the postmodern world. The Renaissance’s painter Leonardo Da Vinci finished the portrait in between 1503-1504. There are multiple hypotheses about why the portrait was created: some of them says that it is a self- portrait of the painter by noting that the eyes, nose- tip and mouth of Mona Lisa actually line up with a known self portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci. Other claims that the sitter and the painter had a special rapport. Thus, the sitter appeared to look at the viewer (actually the painter) straight in the eye with ease.
These works are from public collection, but we are also treated with some pieces from his private collection as well. This man in his own creative way combines his textual images, abstract paintings and his black board paintings which have become quite the catch. Michael Aupin, the Modern’s chief curator says, “ The show is a revealing look at a body of work that represents an especially interesting moment in contemporary art history in the late 1970’s - a time when the legacies of Pop Art and Conceptual Art created a unique hybrid between painting and installation, inspiring narratives derived from juxtapositions of language and vernacular imagery. The subtitle “K-Mart” Conceptualism refers to Fishers’ interest
The second adaptation employs highly visual depictions of mental processes which challenge the notion that viewers can only infer mental activity. First though, I will outline the terms under which film is referenced in this discussion. 1.2 Film Beja (1979: 20) issues a reminder that film is both a medium and an artefact. The medium of film is the celluloid or plastic roll onto which the images are recorded. The first movies were produced without sound and even the first talking pictures required that vision and sound be recorded separately.
A2: Post Impressionism The Post Impressionism Era began between 1880 and 1910. Many people believe it started as a result of an exhibition by Roger Fry called “Manet and the Post Impressionists” that occurred between November 1910 and January 1911. Artists from this period include Vincent Van Gogh, Andre Derain and Paul Cezanne. (Post Impressionism, 2015) (Vincent Van Gogh, 2015). The Post Impressionism Era artists used techniques derived from the Impressionism Era, but also showed passion in their art.
This quote happened after the India’s great struggle with British Empire, which ended in India’s independence through peaceful means led by Gandhi (Ackermann 2000). This essay will discuss if the statements above are true or not as well as talk about recent, real world examples. The main critic will be about media’s involvement & power in social movements such as through movies, music, TV and social media. In addition, there will be case studies relating to media. The portrayal of how citizens should triumph over an oppressive government and free the state from authoritarian shackles is a harshly debated topic both within academics and media.
Source R conveys a view that ‘things that were hidden 50 years ago have come out into the open’. This shows that if permissive attitudes such a sex were spoken about and were open to the public eye, surely this would encouraged to be part of this society. However, this source contradicts itself as it states ‘much sex 50 years ago as there is today’ well if there is an increase in the media portraying these images constantly. An example of this is the prosecution trial of Penguin Books on the grounds of obscenity because of its publication of a long-banned DH Lawrence novel. Lady Chatterley's Lover was the story of an upper-class woman and her affair with her gamekeeper, a story that some considered transgressed a number of social and sexual taboos.
