Relationship Between Seyh Zafir Mausoleum And The Art Nouveau

One of the most evident characteristic that people are blessed with is how they create art. Centuries have passed and yet, humanity's artistic skill and talent did not cease to improve. Consequently, one can always look back because it is through the old relics that the present generation can appreciate people's way of living, and be made aware of their beliefs, culture and tradition a long time ago. Not only that, it is through looking closely that people of nowadays are able to get a visual representation of how people and societies existed in the past. Relative thereto, this paper will analyze Egyptian sculpture.

Though the start of the modernisation may trace back to the beginning of Industrial Revolution. “Modernism in the design world did not exist in a fully developed form, until well after First World War.” (Wilk, 2006) Causing the great loss of lives and other countless damage to the world, it reshaped many people’s way of thinking the world. With the inspiration of early avant-garde movement, the modernism began to emerge advocating an utopian future and shared certain core principles by various styles of modernists: rejecting the past and applied ornament; forms follow function, a preference for

Ever since man began building structures and settling land, art has manifested itself in our architectural creations. Whether it be to celebrate or worship a God or Gods, a grand sculpture to bury a powerful leader or remember them by, or to show a culture’s dedication to specific values, our architectural constructions have led to some of the finest art this Earth has ever seen. The Taj Mahal and Palace of Versailles are two great examples of such art. By examining each of these individually, and then comparing and contrasting them, it will become clear that no matter how different looking these buildings may be, they still serve the same purpose to the civilizations that erected them.

In the 1920's Art Deco was a popular form of art. It also influenced architecture, fashion, and furniture. Art Deco used bold geometric shapes and strong colors. It used concrete, smooth stone, and terracotta as materials. Art Deco represented modernism and a bright future.

In Fred Kleiner’s Gardner’s Art Through the Ages, he has listed some of the oldest and most ancient works of art discovered from different archeological site, which were later transferred to various museums. As we delve deeper into the chapters, we discover how art forms evolve across different time lines – from the art of the Paleolithic period to the arts of the near-East and Egypt. The works of art across the different timelines also indicate the kind of culture people have, because such culture can be seen in how they present their arts. Therefore, there is a clear development that is happening back then, because of the evolution of the arts and the presentation of the artists based on their culture. Taking everything into consideration, this project aims to discuss how arts develop throughout the different timelines – the Paleolithic period and the Ancient near-East and Egypt – and how such art forms present the cultural context of the artists.

Painters, musicians, and novelists could easily flourish during this time. American artists experimented with their craft and tried out different techniques that weren’t as popular in the 1900s and 1910s. In painting, artists created a new style called Art Deco was being created (Scott). Art Deco is a decorative art that largely affects architecture, and variety of interesting materials can be used in Art Deco, such as aluminum, stainless steel, lacquer, inlaid wood, sharkskin, and zebra skin. Art Deco also incorporates zigzag patterns, steps, sweeping curves, chevron patters, and sunburst. Well known American painters from the 1920s of Art Deco are Max Parrish and Cole Phillips (Scott). Another art form popularized in the 1920s was surrealism. It began to catch fire after the end of WWI and utilized techniques such as automatic drawing, automatic painting, decalcomania, frottage, fumage, grattage, and parsemage. Many surrealist paintings were made with the intention of looking dream-like and shocking audiences. Some pieces contained violence, nudity, and decay (1920s Art). Another type of art in the 1920s was modernism. Modernists, such as Georgia O’Keefe, broke away from traditional ideas. O’Keefe’s paintings were mainly influenced by the city scene and south west landscapes, such as “Ram’s Head with Hollyshock and Little Hills”

Art Nouveau, 1890-1914, explores a new style in the visual arts and architecture that developed in Europe and North America at the end of the nineteenth century. The exhibition is divided into three sections: the first focuses on the 1900 World's Fair in Paris, where Art Nouveau was established as the first new decorative style of the twentieth century; the second examines the sources that influenced the style; and the third looks at its development and fruition in major cities in Europe and North

“Modernism was the answer to the world’s woes.” (Heller, 2012). In a way, this was true. The modernism movement in graphic design started after World War 1, influencing the world after a time of war and hardship - just when it was vulnerable and needed it most. Modern artists of the time had the opinion that art and design should echo life in the consitutional revolution and communicate with a modern audience through deeper ideas and values in their design and art works. The Modernist movement broke away from traditions in thinking, society and art. A new era was starting. The Modernism movement eventually developed into two parts - the “high” modernism and the “low” modernism. High modernism represents the intellectuals and low modernism was based to the everyday person. Low modernism also focused on mass production and accesibility whereas high modernism focused on the ideas and values they were trying to communicate and influence through their work. The movement was moving away from traditional thinking in art and society, giving a new beginning to the world of design. This was because design was needed to relate to the every day audience as well as having a deeper meaning, so two streams were created. Modernism ignored the previous tendency to only use realism in art, deeming it unnecessary and irrelevant. In fine arts high modernism was mostly geometrical abstraction and expressionism whilst low is the practical set of guides for new influences on society. But which

Art has been a recurring part of history from the very beginning. As society changes so does the style of art. Each new style is known as a movement and one of the most prominent, long-lasting movements in recent centuries is known as Modernism. Modernism is characterized by its deviation from tradition. People who are a part of this movement found enjoyment in finding new mediums to use, creating art that revolves around feelings and emotions rather than reality. Abstract idealisms of modernism cause its viewers to need to think more critically about the art before them. In past movements, the meaning of the work was obvious as it was created to mimic reality.

The Eastern Façade of the Louvre was the one of most important architecture in the seventeen century. The Façade is the main entrance for royal palace in its original proposal. However, Louis XIV, who decided to build this architecture with his finance minister, moved to the Château de Versailles as his royal palace. Nowadays, this side of the Louvre is an inconspicuous entrance of the Louvre Museum. As a palace entrance, the eastern Facade of the Louvre responded the traditional chateau in France by the space’s quality and its French classicism style. However, the pyramid shape of I.M.Pei’s design is too attracting the people’s attention to let people ignoring the real entrance which is the Eastern Facade of the Louvre, even if the Eastern Louvre is the one of the most important architecture in the seventeenth century.

Additionally, the exhibition seeks to attract the other graduate and undergraduate students and faculty members of the other art history and museum studies students in the other school nearby in New Jersey. One of the other target audience is the scholars who are interested in the ancient Egyptian art as one of the art history. Our Exhibtion also look up to attract the families and their kids to visit the show through one-day program created for them.

An art movement inspired by nature, it’s vital force and never changing life cycle of birth, life, decay and death. The Art Nouveau became fashionable from about 1890 to the first world war. This aesthetic new art movement was concerned as new, hence it was named as “new art” – the Art Nouveau. It was also highly influenced by the Japonism, given a major boost in France, Paris and eventually spread across world. [1]

Right before the beginning of World War I and until the beginning of World War II, a form of modernity known as High Modernism was born. The term modernism comes from famous artist Charles Baudelaire, when he asked fellow artists to step away from neo-classicism and turn to modernity. He asked everyone to turn to something new, something unique. After Baudelaire coined this term, Early Modernism was formulated and as soon as Early Modernism died out, High Modernism began to develop. Although this era of High Modernism was produced, Early Modernism artists simply just took their own artistic ideas and expanded it into a different form of modernity. Movements in particular like Imagism, the 1913 Armory Show, Feminism and Dada & Surrealism were

A new form of art was born called modernism which helped to describe the new world

“Modern painting, breaking through old conversation, has released countless suggestions which are still waiting to be used by the practical world.”(Gropius) The birth of modernism and modern art goes back to the Industrial Revolution, a period that lasted from the 18th to the 19th century, in which rapid changes in manufacturing, transportation, and technology profoundly affected the social, economic, and cultural conditions of life in Western Europe, North America, and eventually the world. Before the 19th century, artists created art pieces for wealthy people and institution places like the church where they can create art works about storytelling of religious or mythological scenes . These arts were there to instruct the viewers.However, this changed when during the 19th century many artists began to create works that were about people, places, or ideas that interested them, and of which they had direct experience. With the popularization of the idea of a subconscious mind, many artists began exploring dreams, symbolism, and personal iconography as avenues for the depiction of their subjective experiences.Challenging the notion that art must realistically depict the world, some artists experimented with the expressive use of color, non-traditional materials, and new techniques and mediums.
