Postmodern art

Artists thrive by experimenting and I will do the same from the beginning of the design experiment. It is important to first identify the type of pencil or crayon I would like to lead with. Drawings will appear more elegant with soft and exploratory lines. Using a variety of hard and soft lines is necessary in order to provide suitable detail, foreground and shadows among other essential aspects. A multi-layered approach requires me to layer colors in order to produce greater depth of color and…

I visited the Museum of Modern Art on October 9th. It was a very rainy day, but the museum was very crowded. I had never been to a museum of this type before; I have never been really interested in “art”. While at the museum I was amazed to see how intricate the works of art were, even though I didn’t always understand what the work was meant to be or meant to explain I admired the work put into them. After walking around confused trying to decide which piece I would like to analyze, I found…

The work of art I decided to write about is Tree by Evan Lindquist, at the Sara Howell Studio and Gallery. Lindquist is an expert artist-printmaker who specializes in intaglio – the art of printmaking. Lindquist is a Jonesboro resident and a former Professor of Art, teaching printmaking and drawing, at Arkansas State University for forty years, 1963-2003. In 2003 he retired from the university to focus solely on his art. Almost all of Lindquist’s works on display, including Tree, follow the…

to art when he was a child. After studying drawing at school as a child, Chagall moved to St. Petersburg, studying painting at the “Imperial Society for the Protection of the Arts”. It was at this time where Chagall released one of his earliest works “A Dead man” (1908) – depicting a geometric, expressive representation of mourning. Chagall’s Jewish identity was important to him and therefore influenced much of his artwork, having them depict religious traditions with styles of modernist art.…

to make a huge impact on the art world as well as to the people who are able to view his work. He works undercover, and is rarely seen. He is under the impression that the less that people know about him, the more they will concentrate on his art and what it is really trying to say to us as his viewers. He does not make art to make others happy, he makes art to make a statement to others. Banksy has had his images on the Louvre as well as the Metropolian Museum of Art, but not on the inside as…

The image I chose, titled Anxiety, was created by Benjamin Koelewijn. The picture shows a nude woman with a burning scalp covering her body in different ways. The flames are burning a cloth on her head, and the cloth shields her eyes. Her face is nearly void of expression, and is smeared with oil, along with her shoulders, arms, chest, and torso. Her right hand clenches her left shoulder, and a blanket is draped between her arms. Her arms are covering her chest, she’s covered in oil, the right…

Photographers like Henry Robinson, who was an English pictorialist photographer best known for his pioneering combination printing, along with many other English and American pictorialists around 1900, “had tried to get photography accepted as fine art on an equal footing with painting”…

Modernism is a broad term which refers to the graphic design style which lasted from the late 1920s to the early 1960s. The Great Depression, World War II, and the Korean War all occurred during this time. Also, color TV was introduced and Disneyland was opened in California. The two main genres of modernism were Swiss Design and the Bauhaus movement. Swiss Design focused on cleanliness and readability while the Bauhaus sought to unite creativity and manufacturing in order to emphasize…

In the piece drawn by the artist Mike Luckovich, there is no title for the picture provided, the artist uses both text and figures to enhance the message. The piece of art is in color. Although he uses humor as a strategy, the author is serious about what he is portraying as an issue. He uses a standard font, but capitalized. The layout divides the picture into four different scenes, it shows president Obama in all four scenes, he is sitting down behind a table and facing the screen, wearing…
