He lived in Montparnasse, a village within Paris, and worked with the Paris School and later lived in La Ruche, “The Beehive,” an artist colony on the outskirts of Paris. While there, he concentrated on his supernatural subject matter that included fiddlers playing on rooftops, pastoral village scenes, cows, goats, chickens and weddings of his hometown of Vitebsk. His compositions played with the conventions of Cubism but his subjects were infused by passionate Russian emotions. He was attempting “to reconcile old Jewish traditions with styles of the modernist art. However, he also occasionally drew on Christian themes, which appealed to his taste for narrative and allegory.” During this early period Fauvism and Impressionism influenced him to use bright, clear colors. During his stay in Paris he was considered a part of the Avant Guarde and he was the most influential of the Surrealist

Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter, theorist and writer. He contributed to the De Stijl art movement. He developed Neoplasticism from non-representational forms. The main elements of his geometrical works were white rectangles, black lines and three primary colors. He loved Jazz music. It shows on his works. He designed never walked into Netherlands when he heard about Jazz music was banned in Netherlands because it harmed the unsophisticated customs. He was born in a turbulent time. However, we can find a sense of peace and order in his work. Perhaps, he wanted to escape from the reality by creating his new world on canvas. Mondrian influenced by Van Gogh. He applied impressionist techniques in his early work, such as still life sketches and landscapes.

For people who likes art, art is beautiful; it is a part of history, past experience and what an individual imagines. However, for the artist it is a part of his/her life, it is the perception the artist holds about events around and serves as a way to demonstrate history. Therefore, any piece of art was influenced by various factors. These factors range from economic, political, social and many more. Taking the factors discussed above, the following paper discusses the factors that influenced the style of Yayoi Kusama’s installations. Yayoi Kusama is a famous Japanese artist. Her works draw attention of thousands of people from around the world. Her artworks are developed across a broad range of media. The works were influenced by different factors including social conditions, period of time, personal life, but the major influences of her installations are personal influences at childhood and mental illness.

Our history, as well as the memories and experiences that come with those who came before us are what creates who we are now. The renaissance period that occurred throughout the 14th century and ended towards the 16th century brought about a lot of change that may not seem so apparent in the current day. However, the renaissance period provided an outlet for art in which famous artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci created a name for themselves as well as creating masterpieces that cannot be recreated. By discussing some artistic and historical pieces from the renaissance period this paper will prove that experiencing art is not limited to just the viewer but also the creator, there are experiences we undergo both before and after

Vicent Van Gogh once said, “If you hear a voice within you ‘You cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” Like most of Gogh’s paintings, Bonaventura Berlinghieri painted what he was passion about. Berlinghieri was “…know for his poignant and detailed scene from the life of the Saint Francis on the predella (based of the altarpiece) of the Church of San Francesco at Pescia” (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica). The Saint Francis Altarpiece is a five feet panel, created in 1235 as a depiction of Saint Francis and the church. The portrait was painted on wood panel and in gothic like form. Nonetheless, this masterpiece is representation of time, the complexity of the painting and the

It has been said that “beauty is pain” and in the case of this poem, it is quite literal. “For That He Looked Not Upon Her” written by George Gascoigne, a sixteenth century poet, is a poem in which the speaker cannot look upon the one he loves so that he will not be trapped by her enhanced beauty and looks. In the form of an English sonnet, the speaker uses miserable diction and visual imagery to tell the readers and his love why he cannot look upon her face.

Freeing artists from traditional painting and sculpture, surrealism was an art movement founded in Paris in 1924 .Inner thoughts were explored, the subconscious and the imagination were the main tools used to create a new surreal world based on these suppressed thoughts and fantasies. Surrealism was a reflection of Freud’s study of psychoanalysis, in which he provides an explanation on how dreams are sources of knowledge and shows the battle between conscious ideas and unconscious hidden desires. Surrealist artists were inspired to explore this dark thread and uncover the mysterious world of desires and fantasies. This art movement evolved and spread to other countries continuing throughout the 20th century. Salvador Dali, a Spanish painter,

Throughout the film “Tim’s Vermeer”, the audience begins to question what the meaning of art is, often being altered by each viewer's perspective. There are many things that contribute to the meaning of art, many having to do solely on the audience. Art and the meaning are determined by our society and each person's input, what the audience considers art. For example the way that Vermeer's work was in watercolor, work like paintings, sculptures and drawings are typically considered art. Although, when the added knowledge of how Tim, and possible Vermeer’, painting was made comes up the audience begins to question if it should still be art. Because the audience determines what is and is not art, the viewer

All literature writers have their own style of writing and works that cause their fame; however, few literary writers write their books with the purpose to illustrate a region of their country.

The relationship between the building and the human in the front of the building is significant. The building is tall, squared, and the artwork is heavier on the left. The

Throughout mankind, the concept of art has developed and changed. We have observed a variety of artistic forms and styles through paintings and sculptures. Numerous amount of cultures and time periods we 're established in history from art. Some include the Greek, Roman, Early Christian, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque time periods of art. During each of those time periods, new artistic styles were created and transformed. Thousands of paintings and sculptures were made in these periods of time.
