femininity as much in style as in the essence, commissioned the chemist Ernest Beaux to develop what will become the symbol of international perfumery. Chanel No. 5 is unquestionably the most legendary ever made fragrance, described as an opera of olfactory art. Independent, unconventional, and provocative, Coco Chanel transformed her unfamiliar name into an obligatory reference point for fashion design of the twentieth. As an icon of female strength, she translates the complexity and elegance that characterize

attended the Dali museum on the 15th of November. Before you even get into the parking lot you realize the museum itself is a work of art. An amazing, futuristic, hurricane-proof, building that is a crazy mixture of cement and glass, a concrete cube that is wrapped up in little triangles of glass, that kind of resembles a worm or caterpillar atrium that stands 75 feet at its tallest point, and that also serves as a skylight, allowing the natural sunlight to get inside the museum, the designers would

versus Pop Art In this life, there are many forms of art or art “movements” to speak of. How we interpret art is a very subjective thing. What a person sees and feels when looking at art greatly depends on their upbringing, their values, and even their mood at the time of viewing. Could something dark and lacking color be art? What about a comic strip in the newspaper or the billboard down the street? Again, interpretation and taste in art is individual. I elected to explore into the two art movements

After the webpage loaded, I was taken by surprise of how simple the Museum of Modern Art's website is displayed. The layout is dominantly composed of black and white colors with orange as a highlight color. The website has a slideshow promoting the museum's most recent news and newest exhibitions. One of these exhibitions is the "Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs" collection. This is "the largest and most extensive presentation of the artist's cut-outs ever assembled." When I read this, I found it particularly

His life has been about art form the start and after college he kept pursuing art with four college friends and founded Push Pin Studios. Though he moved on from there, he continued to stay focused on graphic design with such projects

On a trip to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, my boyfriend, David, and I strolled through the museum while I, being an art history major, recited to him all that I knew about certain pieces. We observed sculptures by Auguste Rodin, works painted by Georgia O’Keeffe, and busts of Roman leaders. David was enjoying all the artwork until we reached the Contemporary art gallery upon where viewing Mark Rothko’s Untitled No. 11 made in 1963, he shook his head in anger at what he thought was a painting far

and Low art is blurred together by otaku, such as anime, and social class. However, Takashi Murakami straddles the line. Murakami spills a mix of Nihanga and Otaku into the canvases, plastic toys, handbags, shoes, etc; endorsing his own theory/style named “Superflat”. Using strategical subject matter such as popular Japanese comic figures combined with ukiyo-e(traditional Japanese block prints), and addressing these contrasting qualities to outside cultures; Murakami intensifies what Pop Art accomplished

The late American artist Sam Francis’ creative work and life is vividly animated in the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art’s exhibit “Sam Francis: Rapid Fluid Indivisible Vision,” on view now. The show was assembled in just three months by the Bechtler’s new and insightful curator, Jennifer Edwards. A Renaissance man, Francis’ interests ranged from biology and philosophy to spirituality, and he supported such causes as land preservation, alternative energy and homeopathic medicine. The artist (1923-1994)

to Contemporary Literary Theory by Raman Selden, “some see it as simply the continuation and development of modernist ideas, while others have seen in postmodern art a radical break with classical modernism.” Depending on which field it is being applied on, postmodernism shows unalike features of trends.

three boys. His family struggled with money and had to move about the country quite often. As he grew older, he took an interest in art and pursued life at an art college. In 1916, Magritte left home for Brussels where he would spend the next two years attending the Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts. No drastic turns in Magritte’s life influenced his desire to begin art. He simply just enjoyed it; but a tragic event in his life did lead him to paint in a new and unusual way. In 1912, Magritte’s mother
