The Architecture And Architecture Of Tadao Ando's Architecture

William Berkeley Enos was born November 29, 1895, in Los Angeles. He began his career as a choreographer in 1918 as a lieutenant in the army. Conducting and directing parades. He gained the ability to work with large masses of moving bodies to

Japan’s literati paintings where inspired by China, which was only connected with Japan through Korea. One of the most famous painters of this style was Yosa Buson, using poetic ability with both haiku and his paintings. (Kleiner 1075) These changes soon led to the availability of cheap prints and ukiyo-e to depict the delights of the city. One of the most famous ukiyo-e printmakers was Suzuki Harunobu who influenced the development of polychrome prints. These prints were very sumptuous and colorful and called nishiki-e (“brocade pictures”). These prints were made of the best quality materials and costly pigments and were not very common in the Edo period. Harunobu’s genius in his work is well shown in the Evening Bell at the Clock (Fig. 34-1). This print was based on a Chinese series where the images depicted a certain time of day or time of year in the work. In Harunobu’s version, the subjects were beautiful young women and their activities in their daily lives. The two women in the pint are seen from a regular Japanese elevated point of view, with one drying herself and the other looking away at a clock. Private scenes like this were very common in ukiyo-e. Before Harunobu’s Evening Bell at the Clock, this theme was not a regular subject seen in ukiyo-e, but soon became a common sight. These prints used flatness and rich colors to

For a great many years, architecture has been a breaking point for different artisticeras in history. Some of the most famous “works of art” have been chapels, temples, and tombs. Among the most dominant and influential eras of great architecture are the sophisticated, stoic Greeco-Roman periods and the more mystical, elemental Japanese eras. These two very distinct and very different eras have more in common than you may realize.

Stability and balance is also achieved through the incorporation of the vertical and horizontal planes. In the southwest facade of the building the vertical slits are balanced with the horizontal planes created by the cubes, cornice and the ornamental horizontal band that runs halfway through the walls. These vertical and horizontal planes further dictate a rhythmic continuity throughout the building. Building's scale is rather modest in comparison to its site and the surrounding landscape and the smooth texture of the facade helps its integration to the environment. (Figure 4)

Diego’s early life consisted of school, traveling, and drawing. He was inspired by the artist Jose Posada. At the age of ten, Diego attended the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts in Mexico City. He then traveled to Europe at the age of twenty-one, where he was able to work with other artists.

He was very successful as an architect, and in fact, he was the architect to win the Atlanta Press Photographer Association competition. He credits his experience as an architect with some of his ability in photography by giving him the skills to build the setting of his photographs.

His second lover, Tina Modotti, inspired him to go to Mexico where he ended up opening up a photography studio which he opened up in the year of 1923. He came to be one of the great photographers of the region. Several Mexican artists of the time, including Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros and Jose Orozco, called him a pioneer of 20th century art which is one of the highest compliments you can receive from your fellow artists.

Donato Bramante was best known for his architecture and his painting.This is what made him such an influential artist. Donato’s architectural skills far surpassed his

The art of South and East Asia provided new forms for traditional ideas. Japan is one of a multiplicity of countries where the ideas of artists were rooted in the artistic traditions of previous eras or of other countries. These artists would then place their own spin on the art, in regards to both subject and style. Tradition and innovation are complementary qualities of the arts of South and East Asia, as the artists of South and East Asia both inspired other artists and took inspiration from other artists.

In “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” we can identify the Western ideas that had influenced Hokusai. Apparently, the composition design had followed the set of geometrical shapes where several circles and triangles take place. His studies of the Western perspective had been applied in the print as well since the view of the wave to the Mount Fuji became smaller in scale as it appeared further from the viewer.

French artists began gaining influences from Japanese art, and Japonisme infiltrated their works. The term Japonisme was initially conceived by French art critic Philippe Burty in 1872 to describe the newly found interest of Japanese culture and to “designate a new field of study-artistic, historic, and ethnographic.” It freed Western artists from the restrictions within their own art culture and stylistic tradition by opening up a new array of ideas and outlet for inspiration (ibid). It gave artists a whole new array of subject matter, techniques, and devices such as “the representation of depth and surfaces, the treatment of light and shade, and format and division of the picture plane… the symbolic role of real objects…[and], new poses captured through new means of representation…” (Wichmann 1999, 10).

During earlier developments, subject matter focused on human figures that were engaged in delights of the city life. Artists took interest in enjoyable activities in landscape settings, paying particular attention to contemporary affairs and fashions. Outdoor environments shifted to indoor activities, where alluring scenes and portraits were printed of famous courtesans, displaying actresses, and prostitutes that were accessible to mass audience in form of inexpensive woodblock print (Department of Asian Art). However, breaking away from popular trends, Katsushika Hokusai discovered western prints from Dutch trading, where he acquired some of their influences in his own works; low horizon line, linear perspective, and a distinctive European color, Prussian blue. Through these main elements, Hokusai presents a striking view of creativity and lifespan development. One of his most famous works in the art world and is most iconic that represents Japanese art, Under the Wave off Kanagawa (figure_). Another popular print, Thirty size view of Mount Fuji, a polychrome woodblock print that is arranged in a composition to frame Mount Fuji. It is made of ink, color on paper where the images in series features various representations of a mountain (Harris). As shown from fig. 1 and fig. 2, Hokasia moved away from tradition of making images of customary subjects,

Though there are other important parallels, one of the most distinctive is found in art. As in all other aspects, Japan stayed similar but unique. Likenesses and contrasts can be drawn through the observation of Seeking the Tao in the Autumn Mountains and Winter Landscape. Though they may share some aspects, the Japanese painting Winter Landscape illustrates the vast differences in the art found in the two cultures. Although “landscape painting greatly influenced his work,” the painting has the distinct stamp of Zen Buddhism (306). Overall, Japanese art is a parallel of Chinese art yet still

Even though Afonso's work is abstract, it is quite easy to see that the architectural work he studied and worked with over the previous years never left him and continued to influence him and his paintings even after he completely abandoned it. His most well-known and well-sold work, his Cities painting series, even though it's already easy to infer from the series' title, it is quite effortless to see the outline of a cityscape through the mishmash of the various geometric shapes. Even though they are all different figures and lines, giving off inconsistent, varied and unstable rhythm as one attempts to find the flow of the piece, they all seem to balance themselves out overall and create one definite subject. His color choices also with the range from bright down to muted, they seem to compliment each other and cooperate to create a piece of modern art that I define as interesting and

The Italian architects that had the greatest influence on world architecture are Brunelleschi, Borromini, and Palladio. Filippo Brunelleschi was born in Florence, Italy, in 1377. He is known as the creator of the Renaissance architectural style. Brunelleschi made new things from classical Roman, Tuscan, and Italian late Gothic models with some Byzantine influences.
