Futurist Art Examples

Decent Essays
Hi Natasha, I like the way that you described Futurist art as being influenced by political changes and that you provided 3 excellent examples of Futurist artworks. For each of the examples that you stated, you made the connection to the wars and the governments during those time periods that potentially influenced each art piece; which ties back to your original depiction of Futurist art. Although the Three Woman painting was not labelled as Futurist artwork in the textbook, it definitely demonstrates some characteristics of Futurist artwork and your post made them apparent. Overall, great

    1 – In his study of abstract art, David Halle sought to answer multiple questions about abstract art, specifically the ownership and opinions pertaining to it. First, Halle looked at who had abstract art in their homes; determining if the ownership of abstract art indicated social class, he then moved on to more subjective questions such as opinions of abstract art. Halle asked questions about who disliked and liked abstract art for a few different reasons; to learn the specific thinking behind these preferences and to learn if these preferences were linked to knowledge or perceptions within different social classes. In addition, Halle sought to refute Pierre Bourdieu’s claim that only people with cultural capital like or understand abstract…

    German- speaking countries also developed great art about Modernisms, linking in a more subjective way the Modern to the German society`s concerns. The book mentions “expressionism and futurism are both evidently forms of response to the circumstances of urban modernity: negative and positive undoubtedly” ( Harrison, p.129, 1992) I think the previous statement is utterly true because I consider both movements correspond to a particular way of perceiving the modernization. As I said before, there were people who saw the modernity as something wrong and dehumanizing and in the other hand there were people who exalted the machines and dynamism as part of the positive change and modernism.…

    I create art to inspire change. My goal is to use visual art as a means to address, further explore and dissect pressing issues in society. Inspired by public figures who use their platforms to make a difference in the world, each of my paintings include the use of historical facts and statistics incorporated as raw materials. My creation method incorporates the use of round tipped brushes to create vivid bold lines and a cohesive feel, I also favor the use of vibrant colors and acrylic paint because it provides a sense of liveliness and elements of texture that convey the hard beautiful truths behind each work. Franklin, the African American character from Charles Schultz's "Peanuts," is the primary subject depicted in my work.…

    The artist that influenced me to create the project I am presenting today is Romare Bearden. Due to the fact, he didn’t learned new techniques and mediums as an artist, but by his life personal experiences. Many of his work had a eye connection in the middle of one’s point of view, many types of geometric shapes, and had an linear and semi-abstract style (Patchwork Quilt). He also had struggled with two artistic sides of himself: his background as “a student of literature and of artistic traditions, and being a black human being involves very real experiences, figurative and concrete”. In the 1960s, civil rights movement he started experimenting again with collage forms such as clippings from magazines, old newspapers, glossy scraps to improve his work.…

His passion was in illustrating the truth and erasing “social contradictions and imbalances” (www.gustavecourbet.org). Some notable paintings by the artist are “A Burial at Ornans” (1850) where he depicts his great-uncle’s funeral in his native Ornans portraying the ugliness in the situation beginning the movement of Realism.

    Throughout the centuries, art has been one of the most valuable forms of communication for all sorts of people wanting to express themselves. More precisely, painterly portraiture allowed artists to offer an even deeper glimpse into the souls of their subjects, as well as their own, for anyone willing to take the time and look. As people have evolved over the centuries, art has progressed in a parallel motion. The style, subject, and intent of a portrait provide details into the lives of the subject, the artist, as well as the socioeconomic environment surrounding the two. After the French Revolution, portraiture evolved from the Neoclassical style to the Romantic style, to the Realistic style, to the Impressionist style, and finally to the…

    In 1936, German Jewish philosopher and cultural critic Walter Benjamin coined the idea of “aestheticization of politics”. This theory expresses the idea that life and affairs of living are made to be innately artistic and are thus related to politics in the same manner. This means that politics can be viewed as artistic and structured as that of an art form that corresponds with the concept that life is also to be seen artistically. Benjamin believed that this theory of aestheticization of politics was a vital aspect to Fascist regimes. The rise of fascism within Europe, and especially within Germany, was the epochal transformation during Benjamin’s time and also created a threatening connotation to Benjamin him self’s life as a Jew and as a radical during this time period.…

    While reading “The Art World Expands” I began noticing a trend of how the art that was being created reflected what was going on in real world or society.

This is mostly notable in recent decades, particularly the 80s where there numerous changes were starting to happen around the world. For instance, improvement in technology like; fax machine, laptop computers, and first ever cell phones. However, that was just small portion of the changes being made.…
