Modern art

colors may seem, he simply painted the colors reflected in his eyes, something that had been his philosophy of life. Gauguin was a leading French Post-Impressionist, who was not well appreciated until after his death. He was a pioneer in the Symbolist art movement of the early 1900s in France. Fauvism and Expressionism are advanced stages that were set from Gauguin’s bold experiment in colors. However, as Seurat and Cezanne, Gauguin’s early work shows the enormous influence of Impressionism. He…

Amongst the most significant artists in history, Paul Cézanne inspired generations of modern artists and became the first of his generation to successfully secede from the Impressionist style. By emphasising arrangements of colour, and perceiving paintings in extreme abstract and geometric senses, Cezanne established the bridge between Impressionism and art of the twentieth century’s new inquest, Cubism. Cezanne directly inspired Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in their Cubist experiments, the…

to Cubist, any perception of an object was a composite of simultaneous and different perspectives. Cubism tries to help one understand the world around them in a different way by changing their perspective on a certain subject. It is an approach of art where a painter takes a real life object and changes it in a completely different way to the way he or she views it in their mind and how they perceive it. Cubism used geometric shapes to replace traditional forms. An example…

Goya’s “The Nude Maja”. My major is fashion design, so I was drawn to write about these works of art because these two paintings depicted both females’ sensuality which is probably the most popular subject matter in the western art history for centuries. These two works are particularly important because the “Venus of Urbino” is most often referred to as the origin of the most controversial western art images due to Titian’s audacious portrait of female sensuality. Similarly, Goya’s “The Nude…

Thomas Cole was one among many pioneers of the Hudson River School of art, an aesthetic movement that took place alongside the American Romantic period. This movement sought to highlight the beauty of natural landscapes through paintings and to accentuate the beauty of nature over industrial and societal progress. However, ancient ruins were of interest to Cole, and many of his European counterparts viewed America’s lack of ruins as a fault. As a result, Cole created the series of paintings, The…

During the early to late 1860’s landscapes were becoming more hyper-realistic due to the expansion of America with the Louisiana purchase. Artists were hired to go out with these brave colonials and paint the landscapes of this undiscovered region. What came back was absolutely breath taking. Even though this was a ploy to get people from the 13 colonies to migrate west, it was a successful one. Two of the artists chosen were Albert Bierstadt and Frederic Church, both painters by trade and both…

The postmodernism movement aimed at breaking the hold that modern design had on designers and their skills. As the author (Anon., 2015) said "something warmer, brighter and more experimental." Postmodernism was an outwardly exciting multifaceted style that ran from the bright to the ruinous, the ridiculous to the sumptuous. It conveyed a radical flexibility to craftsmanship and outline through signals that were regularly interesting, once in a while angry and periodically ridiculous. The greater…

Maya Angelou, a renowned American poet once said ‘We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated’. Being a poet of African descent, she was able to manifest this in her poems by making a connection to Africa and its history. Similarly, David Diop, a contemporary of Angelou was of African descent but he was born and raised in France. Even so, he spent a significant amount of time in West Africa which helped him connect with his mother nation. His works were mainly on political…
