Style And Style Of Fernand L�ger

The shelf between them adds interest with the now outdated and unusual instruments, but the whole of the work doesn’t portray any real sense of importance other than historical record. On the contrary, the realistic detail of the piece is amazing and well communicated through Holbein’s excellent use of light and shadow, as well is accuracy of form. The light source is centered behind the artist and shinning directly onto the men and desk, illuminating their figures. Both man and desk cast a simple shadow to aid the concept of full illumination, but the textures of the clothing, curtain, instruments, and other items are expertly portrayed in the artist’s use of small harsh shadowing and his blend of shading. The large, contrasted, elegant portrayal of the left man’s clothing creates emphasis that repeatedly drags the audience’s eye back to this area. Such a vast use of pattern and color, on the other hand, make any other emphasis less detectable and almost allow the oddly placed blur on the bottom to escape attention. Eventually, its lack of balance and seemingly disproportionate look snatch its deserved attention and force the viewer to get creative in recognizing a figure. This is when the side view of the skull can be

Visual art has been highly appreciated and has become popular since the second half of the nineteenth century, during which the public gradually get familiar with the visual art and its applications. In the late nineteenth century, when artists began to utilize distinctive materials and various techniques on their work, there are a lot of innovative works done by masters whose names have been marked ever since. Their stories passed down through generations. Henri Michaux is one of the most well-known artists in that period of time. Michael always made metaphor for objects mentioned in his painting. His paintings always remained figurative, in-spite of all tendencies towards abstraction. His inspiration was from the real world but even

William Morris led the Arts and Crafts movement in the 1800’s. Some of his work, like this one pictured to the left, demonstrates the beauty of the simplicity in his work. William Morris was an artist, designer, printer, typographer, bookbinder, craftsman, poet, writer and champion of socialist ideals. He believed that a designer should have a working knowledge of any media that he used and as a result he spent a lot of time teaching himself a wide variety of techniques. He also founded the Kelmscott Press which published high quality hand bound books and was very influential in the revival of the private press.

Another term that he used to explain his many works is the term “poubelle” which is French for garbage. Basically Arman would take everyday things that most people throw away and he would make art of it. He lived by the term, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” In his earlier life, Arman had a great love and appreciation for music, so much that it helped inspire him to become an artist (Arman Studio, 2). He studied Art History at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Decoratifs in Nice, France. In 1951 only three year of studying, Arman dropped out of Decoratifs to teach judo (modern martial arts) at a school in Madrid with his lifelong friend Yves Klein (The Art Story, 3). In 1953 Arman returned to his art of abstract painting. In 1954 Arman saw works by artist Kurt Schwitters, and became instantly inspired by his constructivism and readymade art. Soon after, Arman began working on rubber stamps, using them in many different ways to form art (The Art Story, 4). Pop Artiest Andy Warhol also had a great influence on Arman, as Warhol uses of color and contrast created an even wider imagination for Arman’s works. Arman went on to be known as one of the top readymade artist from the 1960s al; the way to his death in

Grien was print maker, a painter and a stained glass designer. Grien also influenced the works of Durer who was his student. was highly versatile and prolific and his large contributions to art included the allegorical and mythological compositions, portraits and religious works, whose allegories are nude females passing messages of death concepts.

This verbal-visual collage tries to show the destruction and violence present in the poem in contrast with the gentle yet mysterious section of the poem. I saw the clear difference between the two since the first section of the poem mentions “armies with trumpets” as well as “Zeppelins, helicopters, rockets, and bombs”. I then contrasted this part of the poem with the more mysterious and soft side of the poem that was defined with quotes like “lost in the clouds” and “I am standing staring at the top”.

Thomas Devaux is a french artist that developed and interesting personal style, based on photography that, with the help of digital postproduction, turns into a more complex art form. We probably could call it photomanipulation, that what it is, basically, but Thomas was able to create his personal process that makes his images immediately recognizable. I would almost say that as painters have their own trait, Thomas found his own photo manipulation style. One of the peculiar aspects of his process is that he resources his starting pictures from the backstages at big Milan or Paris fashion shows. That material is then used to build very large (up to 150 million pixels) artworks. The compositions are made of different parts taken from the various

It is said that he has a “protobaroque” style that has its culmination in Rubens. This is, as De Tolnay believes, because his works that translate the passionate side of his temperament are composed by masses in constant moving; which are full of energy as the Centauri or the Prigioneri. The fact that he is considered to be the preconception of baroque style is easily understood as he juxtaposed various bodies on the same surface, be it sculpture or be it painting, as well as varying their portrayal.

Taking up the entire right side of the composition a third character ascends a staircase and rests one hand on a disjointed platform. This figure wears an elaborate headdress, fabric sash and holds a large knife tucked at it’s side. The figure’s long toes curl around the top stair where it stands surveying the other two figures. This figure also has a tail, and the same mirroring happens between the extending hairs of the headdress and the hairs of its tail as with the candle light and tail of the first figure. The decorations and prominence of this figure give it an air of spiritual significance, the word priest seems apt. Behind this figure is the forth and final figure of the composition. This figure stands lower on the staircase behind the figure with the knife. This figure has a head shaped like a goblet filled with toothpicks. We only see the head and shoulders of this figure,

The work of art itself is in the early hours of the morning taking after the uprising and spotlights on two gatherings of men: a firing squad, and a scattered gathering or hostages held at gunpoint. There is a row of French soldiers aiming for a Spanish man, who puts his arms up in accommodation both to the officers and to his sure demise. There is a slope/hill behind him that represents an executioner's wall. There is a heap of grisly dead bodies that lie at his feet, painting the territory with their gushing blood. On his other side, you can see a line of his fellow countryman that can be seen extending out of the scene. You can see that they cover their eyes to abstain from watching the butcher of their kindred Spaniard, and they realize that death is

Pablo Picasso was one of the leading artist that brought the cubism movement to the world. Cubism normally is a reconstruction of things with the use of geometric abstraction. An example of a cubism style sculpture is Picasso's Guitar that he made in the year 1912 to 1913. There is not a lot of movement in this sculpture. Most sculptures were carved or modeled, but Guitar was complex, so it had to be constructed. It is made out of sheet metal and wire. Guitar has different cut out, shapes to form it. This was made at a time where expressionism was still new. Constantin Brancusi moved from naturalism to abstraction in his art career. Bird in Space is a very well-known abstract sculpture Brancusi made in the year of 1928. Bird in Space has a

The scene is set within a room where, at an open end on the left, a bull flails its tail as it stands over a woman grieving over the dead child in her arms. The subjects in this painting are shown as innocent and helpless. The centre is occupied by a horse, which falls in agony as it had just been run through by a spear or javelin. The large gaping wound in its side is a major focus of the painting, reinforced by the human skull which overlays the horse’s body. On the open palm of the dead soldier in the foreground is a stigmata, a symbol of martyrdom derived from a stigmata of Christ. A light bulb blazes in the shape of an evil eye over the suffering horse’s head, reminiscent of the bare bulb

Maurits Cornelis Escher, according to me, is an artist who can show you a complicated building or a wonderful landscape look perfectly real, for example, Castrovalva. And he is also capable to create an impossible world by using something actual. The reasons I have been amazed by his art is because since I was a child, I loved doing math. I think the parts I did appreciated was because it was precise, you can only two possibilities either you are right or wrong, and the geometric shape. For this assignment I wanted to choose an artist who both pays attention about details and whose art had no resemblance to what I saw before or that people usually think when they are thinking about art, and I assume Maurits Cornelis Escher suits the description.

During the Interwar period, Andre Masson had been part of the Surrealist movement and this influenced his artwork a lot. Before the Surrealist movement, Masson had been initially interested in Cubism, an art form made famous by Pablo Picasso. Masson went from very generic art at the time, to very unconventional art. For instance,one of his most famous paintings called battle of the fishes, and it was painted in a very unorthodox manner.

He used Cubism in two different ways. In some paintings, his use of squares is very prominent and the image looks almost grid-like. In other art pieces, his lines are not as strong and straight.
