Abstract expressionism

Jackson Pollock was an abstract artist whose paintings have a deeper meaning than they seem to have. Everything he put on a canvas represented a form of expression whether through chalk or paint splatters. It was a way for him to be vulnerable and put his thoughts into a body of work. Pollock was a fan of John Cage’s music, because Cage too was pushing normal artistic views. Cage was introduced to the idea of Abstract Expressionism by an exhibit by Mark Tobey. He realized that art could just…

A) Some of the words that Canaday used to characterize Picasso that I thought were the most significant were that Picasso was decisive, dynamic, and relentless. These three descriptors stood out to me because they can be used to describe not just Picasso himself, but how his work developed over time. The constant growth and changing of styles that Picasso underwent throughout his artistic career, much of which can be considered dynamic and against the grain, was truly remarkable. Canaday’s use…

Vassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter, writer, teacher, art theorist and the father of abstract art. Being a trained musician, he used music in his approach to color which he made sing from the canvas. A major turning point in his style of art came after he viewed Claude Monet’s “Haystack at Giverny” at a Moscow exhibition. Over the years he perfected his style of abstract art. He inspired other artists, wrote books on his theories, worked with museums, and ballet’s, experienced his work…

moved through space and time. Mohamedi is most often associated with Agnes Martin, an American painter known for her abstract expressionism. Mohamedi was not aware of Martin until late in the career, and her similar use of lines and grids is purely coincidental. Mohamedi attended the Bhulabhai Institute of the arts with V.S. Gaitonde, the 20th century’s most famous Indian abstract artist, as well as Tyeb Mehta, a renowned painter and member of the Bombay Progressive Artists ' Group. Both artists…

work of art like this or similar to this. This painting is very effective in provoking the emotion of sadness and the feel of darkness (Nazi Germany). I also think that he was effective in creating an abstract expressionist work of art because even though it resembles a skeleton, even though abstract art should not resemble anything actual or imagined, you can also tell that he very passionate, which is conveyed more through action rather than…

Eight The tile of the painting I researched is “There Were Seven In Eight” This painting was created by Jackson Pollock during the year of 1943. “There Were Seven In Eight” is now located in New York, at the Museum Of Modern Art. ("Art/Museums: Abstract Expressionist New York at the Museum of Modern Art in New York Oct. 3, 2010 to April 25, 2011.") During the creation of this art Pollock would take month long breaks and would continue back making this a long project to finish. The project…

German expressionism appeared, as the name implies, in pre-WW1 Germany. During these times, the country was in turmoil and was facing complete isolation from other countries, especially during the end of World War I and the subsequent change in regime, as in The German Empire was transformed into a republic, more specifically the Weimar Republic, would bring Germany to its knees. Thus, it comes to no surprise that a country with such issues would produce these kinds of films; surrealistic,…

In this eerie ghost like painting, the subway becomes a place of alienation, of homelessness. This painting minimizes the influence of people and eliminates details in order to map out the space as an abstract structure of empty rectangle planes. Modern city dwellers on the move, these faceless people go about their business with silent indifference, held within an elaborate grid of vertical and horizontal rectangle entrance/exit ways (Baal-Teshuva 30)…
