The Impressionist Form In Andy Earl In The 1980's

This website was very interesting for me because I learned more about how Surrealism and Art Deco helped in the advancement of art in the 1920s. It made me more interested in Surrealism art because it's everything unrealistic that makes your mind into something almost chaotic and it increased me in creativity. This subject has always made me curious because art is such a beautiful creation and I have always wondered what was it that made it so favored among people and artists themselves. When I viewed this website, Art Deco caught my attention because the description of how it is made it seemed so strange and classy so I understood why it was so popular that it led to other different artworks. I'm fascinated by this subject of art

In the late 1900’s the art world became even more evolved from Impressionism, Fauvism, Futurism, and Abstract styles of art. Neo-Expressionism, a style of painting, and some sculpture, which emerged in the early 1980s, usually characterized by a return to figuration in expressive, gestural, and sometimes brashly aggressive works. This art movement was mostly associated with artist from New York like Julian Schnabel, David Salle, and Eric Fischl (Artsy.com). Of these artist there was one African-American, by the name of Jean-Michel Basquiat, genius of his time, and currently one of the world’s most renounced artist. His shaky upbringing along with his feelings towards situations in his personal life and cultural issues during is time,

Visual opulence, creativity, inimitable vision, and a style that is highly influential are the many characteristics of an admired movement in art history, that being of the Post-Impressionism movement (1875-1892). This movement, which was a by-product of the Impressionism movement, is the bridging gap between the two movements known as Realism and Expressionism. Post-Impressionism takes on some of the stylistic characteristics of these movements; however, it does not contain the all too glossy visuals of Realism or the heavily fantastic visuals of Expressionism, rather it is the intermediary of these two poles. My paper will discuss why this link was absolutely essential to the history of art movements, and I will be specifically using the

Although there are significant distinctions between Dadaism and Surrealist movement in their focus of interest in exploring the language and the art, they also happen to have similar concept for groundbreaking the norms and sometimes makes it hard for people to differentiate them. Then, here is an artist who manage to cover and is considered to be one of the pioneers for both Dadaism and Surrealism: Max Ernst. Due to the traumatic army experience during the World War 1, Ernst became highly critical of the western culture. His experience of the brutality of the world critically influenced his later works to become quite absurd, yet interesting like those of other Dadaists. In terms of relationship between the word and the image, Ernst created the so-called fatagaga, or Fabrication de Tableaux Gasometriques Garantis, which meant the combination of the artists to create an artwork including imagery and text. These Dadaist collaborative works deemphasized the importance of individual authorship and allowed the artists’ interactions to further development of Dadaism.

Jackson Pollock was an American painter and began to paint during the mid 20th Century. He started his own way of painting. These techniques were introduced by influences from the Modernist time where there was a vast social change that challenged traditional themes and techniques in artmaking. Abstract Expressionism developed in 1940’s. It was the first movement to achieve international influence and put New York City at the center of the Western Art World. As an abstract Expressionist, Pollock used different layers of diluted, running paint as well as different tools to make his painting look like it was dripping and crisis crossing in chaotic lines. In the art world Modernism affected the ideas, attitudes, and practices of artists. The

"There is in every madman a misunderstood genius whose idea, shining in his head, frightened people, and for whom delirium was the only solution to the strangulation that life had prepared for him."

In the art world of the 1970’s, Mary Kelly responded directly to the issues raised in Mulvey’s article often making works that attempt to reclaim feminine identity. Most of Kelly’s films are works of research and documentation that concern ideas of women’s roles and women’s work. In the early 1970s Kelly was involved in the making of the film Night Cleaners (1970-1975). The film explored contemporary issues of feminist activism in following a group of working-class female service labourers and feminist activists attempting to draw attention to their issues to build a union. The film utilises documentary style, simple mimesis and minimal editing to build a more direct connection between the subjects and the audience. Using the stories of real female cleaners and showcasing the most abject of the labours, such a toilet cleaning, Night Cleaners presented a ‘warts and all’ perspective on women’s work. While working as crew on the film, Kelly’s role as a feminist activist meant Kelly was also diegetically involved in the film. Kelly saw the ‘radical potential’ in the film medium and she utilised her work on Night Cleaners as a way to develop her artistic productivity in the realm of moving image. Expanding her feminist ideologies beyond specific concerns of women’s manual labour, Kelly’s later moving image work, Antepartum (1973), focused on the labour of motherhood. Antepartum is an ninety-second long looped moving image work depicting Kelly’s own pregnant belly from a

Music inspires me. It transports me away from the world and helps me to go deeper where I can access memory and emotion as I paint. I am inspired by light, atmosphere, and sudden changes in the weather. Abstract Expressionism/Action painting from the 1950's is a sustaining influence as well. I am in love with the world most of the time and everything and everyone that comes into my life are put into my work in some small

When discussing post-impressionist artists one popular name is Vincent van Gogh. Though he is recognized today for his many vibrant works, he was virtually unknown until shortly after his death. Growing up poor, van Gogh went to work extremely early at his uncle’s Art dealership. There he was able to develop a passion for art. Over the course of the next seven years, he suffered from a traumatic love life that ultimately lead to him dedicating his life to the church. His religious outreach career was short lived before he returned to his lifelong passion of art (1880). Van Gogh continued traveling and creating art well into the late 1880’s where he found himself south of France (1888). This is ultimately where he lost his mind. On May 8th,
