The term “Modern Art” covers a wide variety of art styles and perceptions that emerged during the 1800’s through the 1940s. Some of the many styles that are encompassed by this movement include romanticism, realism, impressionism, cubism, futurism, and surrealism.

Albert Cuyp was a Dutch painter who painted the Charming the Animals.

Kaitlynn Lowrey English 1010 Professor Hubert de Givenchy As a child I was mesmerized by the classic look of the women in the 1940's-1950's. Some would say I wanted to be like them. I dreamed of being like Audrey Hepburn or Jackie Kennedy. Even now I strive to dress like them, but who created these wonderful outfits and dresses I've always admired? His name is Huber de Givenchy. He designed many of the classic designs and style of these women and has inspired me to bring them back to the world…

An unassuming and genial man with a strong affinity for the land, Macqueen was drawn to the undulating landscape of the Darling Downs and to the coastal region adjoining Moreton Bay which provided the principal subjects for his work. His watercolours are noted for their simplicity, and for their lyrical and decorative qualities. Shape, structure and colour played a dominant role in his art, engendering a bold and dynamic expression which infused vitality into the prevailing academicism of…

In a painting by Rob Gonsalves, the viewer is shown the difference between being lonely and being alone. This beautiful experience of the painting begins by pulling your eyes toward…

"There is beauty to be found in everything, you only have to search for it: a gasometer can make as beautiful a picture as a palace on the Grand Canal, Venice, it simply depends on the artist's vision." Compared with the lives of many artists, Algernon Newton's appears at first sight comparatively straightforward and uneventful. A long, successful and steadily productive career spanning the best part of fifty years, a second marriage of great stability and of equal duration would seem to find…

Giorgio de Chirico’s painting The Red Tower shows an urbanscape of the typical Italian square with the traditional arcades in shade bordered on both sides, the mysterious box object at the front, the warrior statue with elongated shadow being cut off at the right, the huge red tower at the distant centre, and the farms with natural landscape behind in the background. The whole painting is in dark tone, with only light in the centre focusing viewer’s attention on the red tower and the sculpture.…

painting. The different paints seem as if they swirl within each other, especially in the water and sky. Pattern: Pattern is more clear through the way the work was painted, as opposed to obvious repetitive patterns. The work loosely reminds me of Vincent Van Gogh's works. The style is similar to his Starry Night, where each brush stroke is clear, and the different colors of paint are immersed within each other. This style makes the work seems as if it is an unstable blur. It is not very…
