They are all portals. I continue to use these symbols because they are a joyous and mysterious language that is somehow both deeply personal and universal. It is a crucial integral connector to the vitality of painting. What is extraordinary for me is that as I go out past what I know—past where I am controlling what I do—to find coherency and form. Contact with this wordless coherency , the gift of form is a profound homecoming. I use materials in a direct and simple way, not transforming or altering them greatly from their natural state. I prefer to keep my pieces as broad and non-objective as possible to allow the viewer to bring in their own interpretations drawn from their own experiences. In my paintings, there has continued to be a paring down of recognizable natural forms, which now have given way to a personal abstract vocabulary of shapes, colors and forms. The prominent use of abstraction has allowed me to distill and better communicate my emotions and ideas about life , nature and our respective place within it. I also want to express internal feelings and thoughts in my works. Something more elusive, poetical and imaginative in my work is my goal. As a result, my work tends to be abstract rather than representational. Keep in mind artists of whatever stripe are rebels against the grain of society no matter what they choose to do. What is abstract art? It can not only be an interpretation of what you see or what you feel, but also what you hear. In the video demonstration below, watch as I use sound to create abstract art. How to Paint Like an Impressionist. Monet at Giverny. Great work, thanks for posting such a amazing article. Life is similar to abstract art. It depends on how we look at it. Just like different emotions held together, Abstract art is one of its kind in putting together shapes, colors, textures, lines and patterns and decipher it into a different set of meaning. I feel that abstract art has value, as a lot of it tends to focus on the concepts of form, composition, and color. I these concepts are essentially the foundations of art and anything else visually- creative, such as graphic design and photography. The abstract art is the new thing of this time, it is an art that marks meaning but pesonal, it is depending on what the artist wants to transmit through their feelings, and that each perosna feels when observing the paintings, to me for example I like the Spanish painter Gabino Amaya Cacho, creator of abstract pointillism, waste a lot of light and bright colors.

Abstract Art - iCanvas Red was lively and confident; green was peaceful with inner strength; blue was deep and supernatural; yellow could be warm, exciting, disturbing or totally bonkers; and white seemed silent but full of possibilities. He also assigned instrument tones to go with each color. Red sounded like a trumpet; green sounded like a middle-position violin; light blue sounded like a flute; dark blue sounded like a cello, yellow sounded like a fanfare of trumpets; white sounded like the pause in a harmonious melody. These analogies to sounds came from Kandinsky's appreciation for music, especially the works of the contemporary Viennese composer Arnold Schoenberg — Kandinsky's titles often refer to the colors in the composition or to music, for example, "Improvisation 28" and "Composition II. With his wife, Russian-born Sonia Delaunay-Turk — , they both gravitated toward abstraction in their own movement, Orphism or Orphic Cubism. Today, "abstract art" is often an umbrella term that encompasses a wide range of styles and art movements. Abstract art may be gestural, geometric, fluid, or figurative—implying things that are not visual such as emotion, sound, or spirituality. Yet, it is the painters that get the most attention in this movement. There are many notable artists who represent the various approaches one may take to abstract art and they have had considerable influence on modern art. Share Flipboard Email. Beth Gersh-Nesic.

The opportunity is that abstract art can mean anything you want it to in your personal work , giving you boundless territory to create. I love this paradox. It comes down to how the world is perceived. Can I paint a forest without rendering a single tree? Or show the entirety of the forest with just one tree? I want my work to be surprising, playful and provocative. Some of my paintings are doors, others windows. They are all portals.

  • Decorative Painting and Politics in France, 1890-1914
    Decorative Painting and Politics in France, 1890-1914 by Katherine D. Brion A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History of Art) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Howard Lay, Chair Professor Joshua Cole Professor Michèle Hannoosh Professor Susan Siegfried © Katherine D. Brion 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I will begin by thanking Howard Lay, who was instrumental in shaping the direction and final form of this dissertation. His unbroken calm and good-humor, even in the face of my tendency to take up new ideas and projects before finishing with the old, was of huge benefit to me, especially in the final stages—as were his careful and generous (re)readings of the text. Susan Siegfried and Michèle Hannoosh were also early mentors, first offering inspiring coursework and then, as committee members, advice and comments at key stages. Their feedback was such that I always wished I had solicited more, along with Michèle’s tea. Josh Cole’s seminar gave me a window not only into nineteenth-century France but also into the practice of history, and his kind yet rigorous comments on the dissertation are a model I hope to emulate. Betsy Sears has also been an important source of advice and encouragement. The research and writing of this dissertation was funded by fellowships and grants from the Georges Lurcy Foundation, the Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan, the Mellon Foundation, and the Getty Research Institute, as well as a Susan Lipschutz Award. My research was also made possible by the staffs at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Institut nationale d’Histoire de l’Art, the Getty Research Library, the Musée des arts décoratifs/Musée de la Publicité, and the Musée Maurice Denis, ii among other institutions.

The Guggenheim Museum had staged a Picabia retrospective in that year (MoMA’s show, reviewed in these pages by Andrew Russeth, is the first the United States since then), and Pearlstein took this article as an opportunity to pen a love letter to the artist. Pearlstein’s piece follows in full below.

  • Reimagining the Gesamtkunstwerk: Guillaume Apollinaire’S
    REIMAGINING THE GESAMTKUNSTWERK: GUILLAUME APOLLINAIRE’S A QUELLE HEURE PARTIRA-T-IL UN TRAIN POUR PARIS? By Caitlin Glosser Submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of American University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts In Art History 2014 American University Washington, D.C. 20016 © COPYRIGHT by Caitlin Glosser 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED To the memory of my stepfather, Jim Nemeth REIMAGINING THE GESAMTKUNSTWERK: GUILLAUME APOLLINAIRE’S A QUELLE HEURE PARTIRA-T-IL UN TRAIN POUR PARIS? BY Caitlin Glosser ABSTRACT Guillaume Apollinaire has long played a central role in the history of modern art as a critic who championed several of the avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century. However, his own artistic production—his poetic calligrammes and his multimedia theatrical spectacles—rarely play more than an ancillary role in art-historical scholarship on this period. Traditionally placed within the framework of literary studies, these works straddle, and even at times collapse, the boundaries between artistic genres. This thesis traces Apollinaire’s experimentation with the fusion of artistic media through a close reading of one such work, A quelle heure partira-t-il un train pour Paris? (What Time Does a Train Leave for Paris?). Written in 1914, this theatrical work uses an intermedial structure to disrupt conventional art forms and to directly engage its imagined spectators—even to invest viewers with an authorial role in the co-creation of the work. I argue that Apollinaire’s synthesis of artistic genres should be considered a modern reimagining of Richard Wagner's Gesamtkunstwerk or “total artwork.” Examining the development of Apollinaire’s ideal total artwork from his calligrammes to the play, I demonstrate how A quelle heure merges multiple artistic genres to construct a paradoxically simultaneous, yet fragmented theatrical experience.

    RESUME EXPOSES D’HISTOIRE DE L’ART, 5EMEANNEE 0. CUBISME ANALYTIQUE Il existe 3 sortes de cubisme : - le cubisme cézannien. Cézanne travaille beaucoup avec des formes géométriques, une touche fragmentée et il ramène tout au plan. Plusieurs artistes vont s’inspirer de lui - le cubisme analytique (la tête de femme de Picasso et Broc et Violon de Braque en font partie) les formes sont extrêmement réduites, tout est ramené au plan. On se rapproche de l’abstraction - le cubisme synthétique : retour des couleurs, on veut toujours représenter les objets à travers leurs traits essentiels Picasso, Tête de femme (Fernande), 1909 Fernande=femme de Picasso Picasso veut changer le langage de la peinture. Il veut s’éloigner du réel en tant que ressemblance. Mais ce n’est pas de l’abstraction ! C’est toujours du réel Il ignore la psychologie de la personne pour peindre, pas de sentiments, juste une tête de femme. Fragmentation des formes : saillies et creux se ressemblent tous (formes des cheveux reviennent sur le visage) Formes sont reconnaissables mais exagérées => Cubisme, formes géométriques Georges Braque, Broc et violon, 1910 Cubisme : touche très fragmentée, tout est ramené au plan, pas de perspective On peut voir un violon, une cruche, une feuille de papier, un clou avec son ombre.

  • Diana Naylor E.L.T. Mesens: His Contribution to the Dada
    DIANA NAYLOR E.L.T. MESENS: HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE DADA AND SURREALiST MOVEMENTS IN BELG JUM AND ENGLAND AS ARTIST, POET AND DEALER. A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF Ph.D. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON. -2- E.L.T. MESENS: HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE DADA AND SURREALiST MOVEMENTS IN BELGIUM AND ENG LAN D AS ARTIST, POET AN D DEALER. ABSTRACT OF THESIS The aim of this thesis is to provide a survey of E.L.TS Mesens' activities within the Dada and Surrealist movements and an initial assessment of his work. The thesis outlines Mesens' career and considers his work as an organiser and polemicist of the Dada and Surrealist movements in Belgium and the Surrealist movement in England. The period in which Mesens initiated Dada activities in Brussels and developed important contacts with Paris, though brief, affected his whole outlook on art and poetry. The devel opment of Dada and the work of a number of European Dadaists whose work influenced Mesens' own development and the Dada movement in Antwerp and Brussels is discussed. Differences emerged between the theory and practice of Surrealism in Paris and Brussels and the thesis considers the diverging development of Surrealism in each of these centres. Mesens' involvement in the Surrealist movement in Belgium is examined and his theoretical position is appraised. The thesis also briefly outlines late nineteenth and early twentieth century art movements in Belgium, in particular Symbolism and Expressionhm, in order that the Dada and Surrealist movements may be seen in context. Mesens' main efforts were concentrated in his work as an art dealer in Brussels and London, where he promoted the work of Dada and Surreaflst artists in particular.

  • Marcel Duchamp Avec Sa Pensée Du Dehors1）
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Marcel Duchamp avec sa pensée du dehors１） KITAYAMA Kenji Marcel Duchamp (1887−1968) est un auteur très connu du readymade La Fontaine (1917), œuvre d’art qu’il fit d’un urinoir américain, et aussi celui du Grand Verre, La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même (1915−1923). Le readymade est très souvent cité pour discuter l’art rendu quotidien ou la quotidienneté rendue artistique dans le contexte de l’art contemporain. D’ailleurs, le Grand Verre n’est pas encore bien défini ni bien estimé２）.Engénéral, les œuvres de Duchamp sont composées de suite de readymades et de celle du Grand Verre avec ses études. Mais un artiste fait−il les deux suites d’œuvres les unes indifférentes aux autres ? Ne pourrait−on pas retrouver quelque chose de commun entre les deux suites ? Dans le contexte de l’histoire de l’art, on s’acharne à chercher ou trouver des relations de formes et/ou de couleurs ou celles d’influences entre œuvres, tandis que dans l’esthétique, on essaie de ré−analyserouredéfinir l’art lui−même ou l’art dans l’institution des beaux−arts. Or, depuis l’événement du refus de l’exposition de Nu descendant un escalier no. 2 (1912) au XXVIIIe salon des Indépendants (20 mars−16 mai), Duchamp chercha une autre possi- bilité de son art par exemple dans les tentatives de Raymond Roussel, art détaché de la peinture exclusivement rétinienne, consacrée au plaisir de la rétine.
