Throughout history, there have been different types of art that has risen to fame. But why and how has it become such a symbol in the world? So today I picked a well-known painting that many people may have seen and heard about, the American Gothic.
“I don’t need words – it’s all in the phrasing” – Louis Armstrong. In this quote, we can see that Louis speaks through his music, he has no need for words because the “phrasing” (Musical term regarding composition) speaks for him. He expresses his emotions through his music and can radically blow minds with the simple blow of a trumpet. Louis Armstrong spoke through his music and his ideas could only be developed by his music. By this quote, it is apparent for us to see that he developed and redefined music through his actions. He single handedly redefined jazz by developing new styles and genres unseen to anyone in that time period.
Sometimes he used a solid color, or nearly no color at all. He saw his paintings as a surface on which he could experiment with tools and paper and found objects. Johns made his art to be “real”, meaning he did not believe in the representation of something as the real thing. “I like what I see to be real, or to be my idea of what is real.” Instead of painting a fork, he placed the fork on the painting. Instead of painting a hand, he would place his handprint on a piece. They were still paintings, they were whatever he as the artist believed they were. As Marcel Duchamp, one of his biggest influences, believed, "I don 't believe in art. I believe in
' 'work of art which did not begin In emotion is not art’’(Paul Cezanne).Every one of this world has been created uniquely.This is similar to the artist of the 19th century including Paul Cezanne(1839-1906) and Pierre Auguste Renoir(1842-1919).Both are from French.In addition Paul, Cezanne was a shy, rude and angry man.His new ideas and intense style of painting changed the history of art so, he is known as the father of modern art (Zurarakhinsky 2018)On the other hand, Pierre Auguste Renoir had a pleasant personality and he painted many paintings demonstrating joyful scenario(www.biography.com 2016).In spite of rheumatoid arthritis, he devoted himself in painting till the end of life(www.biography.com 2016)though they had committed their whole life to painting, their art movements,subject matter of painting and influences has seemed totally opposite to each other but still, both loved to paint portraits and nude women.

Pop art era originated in New York during the mid-1950s and ended in the early 1970s. It focused on familiar places in citizen’s day to day life, creating commercial images and during this time Pop art boomed because of the media World War II was receiving. Roy Lichtenstein’s painting “WHAAM!” would mostly fall under the category of the Pop art era for the reasons being that it is based on an image from a DC comic “All American Man of War” which was published by DC comics in 1962. Lichtenstein presented a powerfully charged scene in an impersonal manner, leaving the viewer to decipher the meaning for themselves. The painting is in a comic style of art (Pop Art) and depicts two fighter jets (one owned by the United States the other owned by the Soviet Union) in the air with one shooting a missile towards the other jet with a humongous “WHAAM!” giving the painting a cartoon feel by emphasizing the onomatopoeic lettering in a yellow box, showing that the plane has blown up.

Have you ever wondered how one person can make such a strong impact on America? Whether it be music, dance, war, or art, a single person can change and shape our home into the amazing place that it is today. Two different artists, both from the same time period, but one is extremely liked by everyone, while the other was hated. The two artists, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol are two great artist with unique styles. Warhol’s style was different and bright, but Lichtenstein was thought to be unoriginal and boring. Warhol’s use of subject and color made it popular and well-liked, while Lichtenstein’s use of technique was copied and cliche, but both artists made such an impact on America in two very different ways and have shaped our society
Jean Michel Basquiat was one of the first afro american artist who made it in the mainly white man’s art world. For the very fact one would have to pay him the highest credit.
Vincent van Gogh is another artist in the Impressionism era of Modernism. Van Gough was born in the Netherlands on March 30, 1853. It was important to him to incorporate his emotional and spiritual thoughts through his paintings. He uses the apparent brushstrokes of luminous colors to show his style of artwork. Throughout each one of his paintings, he shows us how he interpreted the world the way he saw and felt about it. http://www.theartstory.org/artist-van-gogh-vincent.htm
Many people don 't know about Fra Angelico, the early Renaissance painter who lived in Italy. He painted over eighty paintings over the course of his life. Along with his artistic career, Fra was a Dominican friar. In addition, he used his art to make churches beautiful and to help spread their teachings. However, he didn 't sign his work because he thought that his art should be used to glorify God, rather than to gain personal fame. In addition, Fra didn 't fix any of his past paintings because he thought the way they turned out was the way that God had willed the work to come out. Strangely enough, Fra Angelico went by many names, such as Guido di Pietro, which was his actual name. He took on many other names over the course of his
In the same year, he responded to Cezanne’s experiments with his highly avant garde by that time painting called Le Bonheur De Vivre (The Joy of Life). Hi did borrow from Cezanne the idea of theatrical stylization: his painting also looks like a cheap theatrical curtain with its out of perspective nude figures whose postures refer to the famous paintings of the past. Matisse’s painting is very sensual and wildly erotic, it uses the typical for Fauvism wild color palette. The forms of the surrounding environment (shapes of trees at the pastoral) replicate the curves of the nudes. Same as Sezanne’s painting, The Joy of Life is highly cheap-decorative, abstract, it takes the Cezanne’s image deconstruction ideas further – it dissolves the objects and blends them into the environment. (“Matisse, Bonheur de Vivre”, n.d.) I would say that Matisse’s masterpiece The Joy of Life is very “green” (speaking today’s language) because it proclaims how the simple life within a pastoral could be ideally beautiful. The whole painting is so curvy and warm, that it is almost delirious if to look at it long; and in spite of its schematic background, it is very spacy, meaning that the viewer can probably step into this bucolic picture and become a part of the
