The Ethos Of Art Nouveau Across The Arts And Architecture

Though this Pop Art movement happened in a few other countries other than the United States and Britain; the movement was also reflected in the country, France. Though in France their movement was known as “Nouveau Réalisme, which is the equivalent to the Pop art movement” (The Art Story Foundation ). This movement reflected the Pop art movement both focused on commercial culture, the Nouveau Réalisme and its artists focused more on their “concerned with objects than with painting” (The Art Story Foundation ).Another movement that the pop art movement was link to in a way was its counterpart in Germany known as Capitalist Realism. Though this movement was a “movement that focused on subjects taken from commodity culture and utilized an aesthetic based in the mass media” (The Art Story Foundation ).The artist within this movement wanted to “expose consumerism and superficiality of contemporary capitalist society by using the imagery and aesthetic of popular art and advertising within their work” (The Art Story Foundation ). These two movements were two movement that were linked to the Pop Art movement.

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

When art was modernized, it was no longer a certain style. New artist were looking for new materials to use for paintings and sculptures. Artist were also wanting to free themselves from the depiction of external reality, and focus on art that could provide feeling or ideas. Modernists educated each other to embrace the “primitive” style of African and Pacific art. Cubism Style opened a path for artist to learn about pure abstraction or non- objective art. New wave of artistic experiment incarnation was called the avant-garde. Avant-garde were artists from the New York School who

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.

The classical style of the ancient Athens, derived from Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome in the 15th century, has had a universal impact on many cultures during previous time periods. The classical period reflected traditional forms focused on symmetry and elegance; it flourished during the time of the Renaissance through artist such as Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo De Vinci. The artists’ main goal was to attain the absolute beauty in their art by showing emotion through detail, almost through perfection. Some examples of well-known classical arts during the Renaissance were ‘Belvedere Torso’ and the ‘Medici Venus’. In the 17th century the classical style was revived, now called the neo-classical style. It was born in Rome but its popularity flourished all over Europe. The neo-classical movement clashed with the age of Enlightment and continued through the 19th century. The neo-classical principles were based around the same characteristics as the classical arts such as: balance, proportion, order, simplicity, clarity, and reason. It was strongest in architect, sculpture, and decorative arts. The neo- classical style continued to spread throughout the world and became sought after in the 17th and 18th century in countries such as France and The United States, and it influenced some of the greatest government buildings in America.

Abstract Expressionism began in the 1940s and the 1950s in New York after World War II from the ideas of Surrealism about art that looks to examining the unconscious mind, and the feelings people hold that makes us all humans. Through the discussion of Autumn Rhythm (Number 30) by Jackson Pollock, I will define Abstract Expression and why this work is part of this movement. Then, through the discussion of Canyon by Robert Rauschenberg, Target with Plaster Casts by Jasper Johns, and Marilyn Diptych by Andy Warhol, I will explain Assemblage and Pop Art and why each of these works belong to those movements.

Modernism describes the ideology of the art and design that were produced during the modernist period. There has been a lot of controversy about when modernism started, yet many believe it initiated sometime in the late 19th century and continued to the early 20th century. The modernist movement was meant to be a break from traditions and it was set up to separate the value of certain works from the conservative realism. For instance, Unlike the traditional art that was aesthetic, this movement was more about space and form. In modernist design, shape and organization of products and buildings were based on their functional requirements. As a result, designs became simpler without the traditional decorative concepts. The idea behind the

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”

The blog, “Unleashed” utilizes the artistic appeal of ethos. Ethos is the credibility of the speaker. The writer tells about personal experiences she has had with the topic.

Art is the theme of art, this means that the main reason artist design different types of art works is to bring about the visual satisfaction.

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

Writers, painters, and other artists produced some of the greatest work in the nation's history. During the 1920s, the main styles of architecture that emerged were Art Deco and Modern architecture. The Art Deco development began in Paris, however rapidly spread around Europe and over to America. The style was created at Bauhaus, a school in Germany that got to be acclaimed for its approach to the motif.

The Museum of Modern of Art was the first to use the words “International Style”, which was a fitting term to introduce modernist arts to the world. Johnson and another renowned architect Henry-Russell Hitchcock organized a major show under the title “Modern Architecture: International Exhibition”. There they described the International Style that expresses several design principles, that concerns with volume rather than mass and solidity, regularity instead of axial symmetry, and the proscription of “arbitrary applied decoration”. Exhibits featured leading European and American architects, especially the likes of Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der

When one considers the term “Art Nouveau,” what comes to mind most immediately is “images of a European-wide invasion [characterized] by the restless dynamism of organic form”(Silverman 1). For me it is usually the work of Alphonse Mucha– his mysterious women surrounded by the beauties of nature. Often my Art Nouveau fantasies take shape in the odd fungal-shaped stained-glass lamps of Tiffany. Or sometimes they surface as the romantic Parisian posters I’ve seen at Pier One, advertising champagne or cats noir or bicycles or the like. But no matter what ones notion may be of what Art Nouveau looks like, there is a feeling that accompanies it that is at the heart of the style’s appeal. It is difficult to define or describe what
