It was influenced by the artist's fascination with chronophotographic studies of animals in motion.  The techniques in the painting show motion, such as blurring, multiplication, and superimposition of body parts

Carlo Carra
Medium - Oil on Canvas
Dimensions - 198.7 cm. × 259.1 cm. (78¼ in. × 102 in.)

The subject of the work is the funeral of Italiananarchist Angelo Galli, killed by police during a general strike in 1904. Carra’s Work embodies the tension and chaos of the scene, the movement of the bodies, the clashing of anarchists and police, the black flags flying in the air. This piece shows the violence that was going on.

It was a piece I was familiar with because my grandmother had a copy of this art piece. This piece represents the symbolism of emotion in the colors used and the expressions that is represented in this art piece.

The Starry Night

This piece was a favorite art piece of my grandmothers and I was always intrigued with the art piece myself. In this piece the colors and the movement in the art piece represents movement in the evening of a city. Represents wind, stars, and life beyond the city.

Dance Around the Golden Calf

This art piece caught my eye by its colors and the symbolism it represents in the art of dance. The movement shows how each individual in the painting have their own unique movement to share with the audience.

Symbolism of Marriage

This particular art image represented the earth and its connection to a bond. Marriage is a bond between two people that can be shared in a deep way. In this art piece it shows the roots of this tree and the connection it shares.

Hope

This art piece gave me a insight of emotion through sadness or insecurity. My emotions internally brought this out when seeing this piece of art. But the art piece was representation of a sadness from blindness and the connection it has with the world but the deep sincere connection to music of her instrument painted in the art piece.

This art form was very interesting to because it really gave you a different look and insight of art. We always see the simple look of paint on a canvas, but its more than that. When I chose Symbolism for my art interest I imagined simple art to analyze. But it became more than that. Symbolism came about in the late 19th century art movement of the French, Russian, and Belgian origins. This art movement was a way to represent emotion and truth symbolically through images to give notice to a different aspect we see emotions in a different light. Its an investment of a symbolic meaning expressing words, people, marks, locations, or abstract ideas.

When I first saw this piece I was really curious to know why we saw several men and the large horse.
As art critic Michael Brenson notes "Horses and people are forces of nature pitted against and aligned with one another in a primal struggle from which Boccioni must have believed something revolutionary would be born".

Futurism was an artistic and social movement that originated in Italy in the early 20th century. Futurism was invented and based in Italy, led by the charismatic poet Marinetti. The group of artists was at its most influential and active between 1909 and 1914 but was re-started by Marinetti after the end of the First World War. Three of the main artists associated with this movement were the Italians Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Umberto Boccioni, and Carlo Carrà. The key focus of futurism was to represent a dynamic vision of the future

What drew me to this painting is the amount of reflections on the metal and the reflection of light rays given off by the metal by the unseen light source.

Title:  Still Life. Fruits on a Platter
Artist's Name: Ilya Mashkov
Year Created: 1910
Media/ Materials used: Canvas
Dimensions of the Pieces: 80 x 116 cm

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mashkov is called the "king of still lifes," and this title is well deserved. "Fruits on a platter" written during the period of the artist's mastering of plane painting, the genre of signboards. This still life is Mashkov's start in the genre. Here the composition is simplified and primitive as much as possible. If it's the center, it will be a bright orange orange, and around it there are plums as dark as night. A white crumpled tablecloth and a gray neutral background perfectly set off the brightness and texture of peaches and apples around the dish. The influence is clearly visible Matisse. By the way, this picture at one time Matisse and Serov recommended to buy patron Morozov. This for Mashkov was a real confession: the teacher who had previously rejected him (see artist biography) and the idol of Moscow artists, Henri Matisse himself!

Art critic Dmitry Sarabyanov wrote that Mashkov "Attracts the most earthly, the most healthy. In his paintings, the flesh triumphs, in whatever form it may appear - in the form of the fruits of the earth, the naked female body or copper cookware". And indeed, in these fruits - an unbridled celebration, I want to say - gusto! The picture does not immediately act on all organs of perception - we see a bright fruit placer, we feel the aroma of ripe fruits and, it seems, if we touch, we feel the smoothness of the plums, the soft, slightly rough peach skin and the orange pea. Taste receptors and even more so do not have to rest near the "edible" paintings of Mashkov.

In the future, his still lifes will become more voluminous - by definition, Sarabyanova, "will be identified". AT "Still Life with Vegetables" 1914 or "Still life with bread and pumpkin" In 1915 we already see volume, size contrast and a softer, not so hyperbolic opposition of the textures of the depicted fruits and objects.

One more "Still Life with Fruit", written by Mashkov in the same 1910 and compositionally similar to "plum", in 2013 at the London auction, Christie's left for 7, 253 million dollars.

Title: Windmill
Artist's Name: Piet Mondrian
Year Created:1907
Media/ Materials used: oil and canvas
Dimensions of the Pieces: height 99cm / Width 120.7
I like this art work because of the color that is involved with. It contains dark and light colors. Like if there was a storm and its raining. I really love the creativity.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The version of Windmill here reproduced, one of a number of similar but different versions dating from around 1905 and 1907, is typical of Mondrian's orientation in this period of his career. At the same time the painting shows a favorite theme of his while he was in the Netherlands: windmills silhouetted against an unbroken sky above a low horizon. This theme even recurs in the dialogues on modern art that he published in De Stijl, and in which he defended the right to existence of an art no longer bound down to a subject.

Together with the series of works based on the theme Farmhouse at Duivendrecht, this 1907 Windmill embodies the features then representative of Mondrian's art: it is outstanding for its careful observation of detail, for its highly sensitive and allusive depiction of evening light, and for the mood thereby evoked. These characteristics also apply to the work of the Hague school and much other nineteenth-century painting. But upon closer scrutiny we see that it was Mondrian's intention to make this observation of detail and light serve a compositional purpose. And that is what is particularly striking in this picture, what makes it a fascinating link in the chain of Mondrian's work. When one compares this canvas with many other paintings of the Hague school, and even with the other versions that Mondrian painted of the same subject, one cannot fail to realize the taut control of the composition: the division of the picture into horizontal bands, alternately light and dark, and the great dark form of the mill, a vertical thrust against these horizontal strata, its strength re-emphasized by the reflection in the water, which supports the dark silhouette like a pedestal.

"Always further," is how Mondrian termed his drive to transform his artwork. Starting in 1907, his traditional landscape compositions began to reveal a new sense of drama and light. Jan Toorop, a leading artist of Dutch Luminism, introduced Mondrian to the French Post-Impressionists. Mondrian's paintings changed dramatically as a result, integrating, for example, the bold color and brushwork of Vincent van Gogh and the pointillist technique of Georges Seurat. Even in these early works, it is apparent that Mondrian had a tendency to work in series, focusing on a singular subject. Both of these facets would be invaluable to the development of his mature, abstract style.

Henri Matisse, Copse of the Banks of the Garonne, 1900

Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is one of the most prominent artists of the Post-Impressionist period. He is known for his extremely vibrant colors and his fluid lines. Matisse originally moved to Paris to study law, but after an attack of appendicitis, his mother brought him art supplies to occupy him while he recovered. Matisse described entering "a kind of paradise" and decided to be an artist. He studied at the Académie Julian under William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Gustave Moreau. Matisse's early works consist mostly of still lifes and traditional scenes, which nevertheless soon bear the marks of his unique style. Matisse explored Divisionism and Fauvism as he developed his style. Harmony in Red (The Red Room) (1908) is often considered Matisse's masterpiece, or at least one of them, and the greatest expression of his style and aesthetic. Copse on the Banks of the Garonne is a fascinating step in Matisse's development, as well as a beautiful landscape in and of itself. The piece includes Matisse's experiments with color, evident in the pink sky and trees that appear blue and purple. We also see the artist's loose brushwork and draughtsmanship used very effectively. Matisse utilizes his technique to convey movement in the wind, and the general buzz of nature. Although there is nothing moving in this painting, and no people or activities, this is not a landscape of serenity. Rather, it is one of great energy where the beauty of the landscape is alive with vibrancy.

The reason I choose this piece was because it is in the bay area. Specifically in San Fransisco located on 100 Bush ,and Battery Street. This building is not only local to our area but is a great example of the Art deco time period. It is not only visually appealing but perfectly captures true symmetry with its lines structures and balance.

A more modern minimalism piece, the trend of more dreadful emotions partially dissipated to more general ideas. This piece is interesting as a reference to more works, such as the Catholic faith, biological fluids, ancient German lettering for Medieval text, etc. Unlike most minimalism pieces, this work has a large layer of references and deeper meaning that is more explicit than other works. There is less interpretation on the audience end than provided by the artist for this work, so I think it is a unique approach to minimalism compared to other traditional works.

This is the one that attracts me the most of the five. Red and black form a strong contrast that can catch people's eyes at the first time. I think this is one of the great examples of minimalism, where the absolute main character is the red circle and nothing else, so that people of any age can immediately recognize what the main character of the painting is.

Another aspect of minimalism included a sense of "law and order" in its design. No other objects interact with this tall object, just a stainless steel cage of sorts as its title implies. Given the cultural stresses at the time of nuclear fallout, it can be interpreted this piece is reactionary towards those events. The scale and repetitive nature do not offer comfort for viewers.

The name of the art movement I will be talking about is Art Deco and it started in France during the late 1920s and 1930s in which those years it was the most active. This movement is mainly started by France but can be seen all over the world like here in the U.S. and even in countries like Shanghai. Three artists that are associated with this type of art are René Lalique, Le Corbusier, and Erte. The primary visual characteristics include line and geometric shapes and used modern materials like stainless steel and chromatic looks, bold shapes and lines like zigzags, and bold curves and symmetry. The goals for this movement was I believe to make decorative items and architecture more pleasing to the eye. First exhibited in Exposition "Internationale des Décoratifs et Industriels modernes" in Paris circa 1925. It represented modernism turned to fashion and function. This moment of art was during the post years of the great war in France and the moment gave way to a new extravagant way of life that defined the era of jazz and the modern deco aesthetic. It was meant to represent an anti-traditional elegance symbolizing luxury and wealth. Personally, this art stands out to me because it is very elegant and pleasing to the eye. The bold lines and colors make for a really interesting complex design.

he 1950s and 1970s in America and the UK. Three of the main artists associated with this movement are Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Keith Haring.

One of the visual characteristics of the pop art movement was recognizable imagery. Artists would portray images that were popular in the media and everyday life including celebrities, soup cans, and newspapers. Also, pop artists would use bright vibrant colors. Humor was also very prevalent in this art movement. Artists would use satire and irony to poke fun at or challenge something. Another characteristic of the pop art movement was mixed media and collage. Pop Artists sometimes blended materials and used several types of media. 

The goals or purpose of the pop art movement was to challenge the dominant approaches to art and what art should be. The pop-art movement “aimed to blur the boundaries between "high" art and "low" art.”  Many artists felt that the art taught in schools and museums did not relate to their everyday lives, and wanted to incorporate their everyday experiences into art. New York artists such as Andy Warhol started this new approach to capture everyday life. 

During the 1960s when pop art was at its peak it was a very crazy time in America and the world. The civil rights movement was in full swing, and MLK and people of color were fighting for justice and equality. The Vietnam War was also in full swing along with antiwar protest, which was very divisive for our country. And in 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. These were very heavy and somber times for America. Artists sometimes used pop art to comment on social issues, for example, Keith Haring commenting on safe sex and aids prevention in his works. However pop art was mostly used to “mirror, critique, and, at times, incorporate everyday items, consumer goods, and mass media messaging and imagery into art.”

Minimalism (1960s to Today)
Minimalism (1960s to Today)
The context of nuclear war is important to discuss minimalism, an art style that has taken a few forms since its spread around the 1960s. World War II’s introduction of nuclear weapons naturally created some tension for folks that surfaced largely in the 1980s (Dunn 52). Minimalistic art depicted heavy themes of “terror as a profound curse” (52). This art style is rooted as early as the 1960s, and it still possesses relevance to this day. New York is often accredited to being one of the earliest sources of this style Minimalism was largely popular within the United States and Europe (DiMaggio 440). Some prominent artists include Frencesco Clemente, Goerg Baselitz and Sandro Chia (Dunn 53). 
The characteristics vary depending on sources, but overall, it seems to capture a feeling rather than too much focus on the technical skills or even shot composition. The idea is that images are often quite barren with some menacingly lines, but the end user may not focus primarily on the lines themselves but rather the feeling conveyed. Likewise, the materials used are not dependent on brushes but can also utilize objects and even live organisms. In more recent times, minimalism is associated with a movement to reduce excess, which is an interesting movement from its origins. In modern, casual discussion, the word minimalism often is associated with the lifestyle rather than the art movement.

Title: Tormented Self Portrait

Medium: Synthetic polymer paint, bronze powder and lacquer on wood, anodized aluminum, rubber, plastic, formica, leather, chrome-plated steel, and canvas (logos)
Dimensions: 7' 5 3/8" x 68 3/4" x 15 3/4" (227.1 x 174.5 x 40 cm)

This piece is a self portrait that was inspired by Vincent van Gogh according to the Museum of Modern Art (MODA). The design intends to warp one's sense of identity in a world that revolves around corporate identity. Consumption defines personality, so there are not human aspects to this art, only logos. This fits minimalism in that the overall tone is bleak and related to American culture as a whole, as over-consumption following World War II and the nuclear threats pushed focus toa

As mentioned in my last point, furniture has become we known for minimalism as a culture and identity. The artist submitted a statement that furniture was "an extension of the body," and these minimalistic designs were about "hostility [rather than] function." The piece feels threatening, like a strange abyss-like entity looming. All the feelings are unpleasant which match the tone of the 1960s minimalistic movement.

This piece has no easily recognizable form beyond a vague representation of curtains, though the shape here does not matter as much as normal art. Rather, the piece conveys a sense of authority and almost dread through the use of felt reaching out towards the viewer. Gravity played a role in inspiration according to MOMA, as

Dada
Dada
The name of the art movement is Dada.  It lasted from 1915 until the mid 1920s.  It was found in Zurich and Switzerland.  Three main artists associated with this movement were Marcel Duchamp, Tristan Tzara, and Hans Arp.  The visual characteristics of Dada are humor, artistic freedom, and an emotional reaction.  The aim of Dada was to destroy traditional values in art and to create a new art to replace the old.  The founder of dada was writer Hugo Ball and later it became an international movement.  When dada was getting started, the date was about 1916 and the location was a satirical night-club in Zurich, the Cabaret Voltaire.  It eventually formed the basis of surrealism in Paris after the war.  The beginning of dada was also the time before World War I started.  Dada was negative reaction to the horrors and folly of the war.  The nature of dada work is satirical and nonsensical.  It included art, poetry, and performance.  Many sources state that the main historical surroundings of dada was World War I.

Street Photography
This movements is called " Street Photography", It's most active period was between 1930-1970 and  was first created in France by a man named Joseph Nicéphore who thought to take a photo Parisian street in France. A few great artist of this movement would include, Eugene Smith, William Klein and Lee Friedlander all who have a very bold and inspirational imagery work. The characteristics of this movement are photos that are taken usually without knowledge of others, showing expressions, social interaction, and to be able to capture the everyday life in public places. This movement was to share the life of others from a different point of view and to connect with one another through this imagery. Many photos were taken after WW2 to capture the state of community in which we lived and most importantly how we dealt with and got through this period of time. It acts of a way to remember these times and to be able to have an understanding through the candid nature of these photographs taken throughout important times in our history.

Surrealism
Surrealism
 ·  Surrealism was the name of a movement in Visual art and literature founded by the poet Andre Breton in Paris of 1924 and ended in 1966.
·   Surrealism was mainly rooted in Paris, yet you can find pieces of the movement in many other areas around the globe. 
·  Some important art and artists of Surrealism include artist Joan Miro and the piece “Carnival of Harlequin. As well as artist Rene Magritte and the piece, “The human condition”. Lastly, is artist Yves Tanguy and artwork “Mama, Papa is wounded!” Surrealism had a lasting impact on painting, sculpture, literature, photography, and film.
·  According to the artstory.org, Artists such as Salvador Dalí, Yves Tanguy, and René Magritte painted in a hyper-realistic style in which objects were depicted in crisp detail and with the illusion of three-dimensionality, emphasizing their dream-like quality. Several Surrealists also relied heavily on automatism or automatic writing as a way to tap into the unconscious mind. Artists such as Joan Miró and Max Ernst used various techniques to create unlikely and often outlandish imagery including, collage, doodling, frottage, decalcomania, and grattage.
·  According to MoMA.org, “The surrealists sought to overthrow the oppressive rules of modern society by demolishing its backbone of rational thought”         In order to accomplish their goals they attempted to reach into the subconscious mind and “superior reality” The main goal was to revolutionize human experience and tap into the value of the unconscious and dreams.
·  Surrealism began in 1924 through WWII which was a crazy time period as is, many artists found themselves caught up in the increasing political uprising and a second global war. During this time period the world was in a state of crisis and collapsing. Many artist did choose to incorporate their person beliefs into their artwork, some artist chose to be more discreet when it came to showing how they felt about the current times and some artist incorporated hidden messages and deeper meanings behind their artwork.

The Charnel House- Jean Arp 1944
Jean was a very well known versatile artist of his time, "He expressed himself in sculptures, paintings, drawings, collages and poems. He is best known for his sculptures characterized by wavy lines that he often referred to as the organic abstraction." Jean was also associated with Data as well as Surrealism, I enjoyed this piece by Jean because it's simply interesting. Jeans piece shows different elements and different components and it succeeds in surrealism by making you wonder and unleash your imagination to see what is happening within the art.

Max was known to be an innovative artist, known for quote, "Seeing the modern world as irrational, he made this idea the basis of his work." The artwork that Max produced showed his creative and ultimately his inner feelings. I find this piece from Max very interesting because its abstract, the kind of contrast you see from the blending of the two blues creates a vanishing point and makes you wonder what is he trying to show by creating that? This piece made me really wonder while trying to analyze all components within the piece.

Andre was well known for, "Exploring the automatic drawing and allowing his hand to move freely across the canvas without a conscious plan, he aimed to express the creative force of the unconscious." This piece of art kind of puzzled me, there can be many messages within it that the artist was trying to portray, who knows maybe they had "masks" on and he predicted covid.

Luis was known to be a, "A Pioneer of Surrealist Cinema"Luis was able to,  "Portray the disjointed visual narratives of human dreams in action, he has managed to perfectly capture everything that characterizes the dreaming state." I chose this piece by Luis because its so whimsical it really does question your mind and the piece as well. Within this piece we see animals with extremely long legs, and they seem to be carrying naked women in castles as well. The background is also dark in the exterior but within it you are able to see lightness, may this be he is trying to say there is light at the end of the tunnel? Who knows, and this is why I love this piece because what is he trying to show and prove to us? Everyone is free to make their own interpretation.

Everyone knows Andre as the founder of Surrealism, "Breton believed in the future resolution of dream and reality into surreality, the reality he regarded as absolute. He worked in various media and innovated the ways in which the text and image were united through chance association." In this piece by Andre we are able to see Surrealism in action, we are presented with a piece with many components, demonstrated within the piece we see simplicity as well as depth and character. Andre provides many components and also imagination within the characters and pieces illustrated.

This piece draws my attention because I've seen this photograph and has been referenced many times in my life. I'm familiar with this piece, and I also find it cool. The first thing I notice while looking at this art is the statue in  the right corner. This is a good example of the overall movement because this was the new form of photography that pathed the way of how people did things. This photo has a timeless style, with an environmental portrait.

What grabbed my attention about this work is that photography was Very limited in total range at this time and Steichen viewed this challenge in a positive way, by pushing/ testing the limits of photography. Creating a style that still holds up to modern photography.

The scream tempera
The scream tempera
The scream, tempera and casein on cardboard by Edvard Munch , 1893, in the National Gallery, Oslo. The Scream’s composition exists in four forms: the first painting, done in oil, tempera, and pastel on cardboard (1893, National Gallery of Art, Oslo), two pastel examples (1893, Munch Museum, Oslo and 1895, private collection), and a final tempera painting (1910, National Gallery of Art, Oslo). Munch also created a lithographic version in 1895. The various renditions show the artist’s creativity and his interest in experimenting with the possibilities to be obtained across an array of media, while the work’s subject matter fits with Munch’s interest at the time in themes of relationships, life, death, and dread.

Cubism
Cubism
Cubism is a “Term derived from a reference made to ‘geometric schemas and cubes.’” It began its popularity in the late 1900’s into the early 1920’s. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were the first artists to show off cubism in their art. Cubism was found in Spain and France where the two artists were from. 
Along with Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque another artist that used cubism throughout their art was Juan Gris. Juan Gris was one of the leading artists in the cubism movement with the other two artists.  
In the cubism the artists wanted to stray away from copying nature and use geometric shapes to represent what they were painting. Like mentioned in the article by Sabine Rewald, “They wanted instead to emphasize the two-dimensionality of the canvas. So they reduced and fractured objects into geometric forms, and then realigned these within a shallow, relieflike space.” The artists that created cubism wanted to show the world something different and show that art can be anything. The goal was to challenge the traditional way that art was created. 
The first world war was going on during the time of the cubism movement. Guernica by Pablo Picasso is a famous piece of art that represents the turmoil that people were going through during the bombing of Guernica.

Candlestick and Playing Cards on a Table
By: Georges Braque
Year: 1910
Media: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 25 1/2 × 21 1/4 in.

I chose this piece because Georges Braque was one of the leaders in the cubism movement. I feel as if this painting is a great overall example of cubism. It caught my attention because it is all a similar color and you really have to think outside the box to understand this painting. I think that everyone could interpret this painting differently which is cool.

I was drawn to the piece because it is a painting of one of the leaders of cubism by another leader of cubism. This painting is easier to see the subject unlike the first painting I chose. I like how it is mostly one color but the paint on his palette is bright and my eyes went right to it.

This painting caught my eye because of the bright colors. There are many different places that the viewer's eye can go to. My eyes first go to the animal in the front which I think is a cow. I think that this painting is a great representation because it tells a story which can be potentially up to the viewer's perspective.

The artist does a great job at showing the main points of the painting yet still including cubism. I also like how it is more of a colorful piece. Besides the cards and the violin, I don’t know if I can exactly pinpoint what else is represented in the painting.

I decided on this piece of art because it included more lines than the others. Picasso also used a different material instead of oil paint on a canvas. I feel that my eyes go to the blocks of color that are in the middle. I find it interesting that the title for most of the artwork is what is being represented. It just shows that no one sees art the same.

Pop Art is an art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop Art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising and news. ... Pop Art was brash, young and fun and hostile to the artistic establishment. This information was copied from Belgravia Gallery website. 
I personally chose pop-art because I am a little familiar with it I've seen this type of art a lot when I was younger, home decors and every now and days it looks more like graffiti but there is so much different types of pop-art that I did not know there was.

Muralismo
Muralismo 
This art movement is Muralismo which is mural paintings that were to spread visual messages to an illiterate population. This art movement was active between 1920’s to about the 1970’s in Mexico. According to the ‘Consulate General of Mexico, Muralismo’ José Vasconcelos who was one of the education publicans under the government of president Alvaro Obregón who had the thought to commission different artists to paint a series of those murals. 

	These murals were associated in Mexico, specifically in Mexico City and In Oaxaca of Juarez. The three main artists associated with this movement was Diego Rivera, Jose clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. 

The primary visual characteristics were Aztec mural paintings and sculptures of the Hispanic community. For an example Diego rivera did a mural showing the pre-Colombian Aztec city of Tenochtitlán, which it was a way to showing the life in Aztec times. Another visual characteristic was painting murals of reflecting not just only Aztec but Mexican life as well.

The goals or objective of this movement According to the Mexican Muralismo Wikipedia it was to promote certain ideals, These ideals were to glorify the Mexican revolution and the identity of Mexico as a mestizo nation. It got started by the idealism of the revolution, it was to show Mexico’s pre colonial history and culture. Diego Rivera was actually one of the first people that got called out to do a mural since he was one of the best artists in the Europe area. 

As Muralismo was being created the world was going through a struggle that was in the sixteenth century which was along culture and race conflicts that were being made by muralists. This movement was motivated by the Mexican revolution which before all this conflict, the murals began as a government-funded form of public art. This Muralismo art was to educate and inform comman messages of cultural identity and other important issues at that time. I feel like it did have somewhat of a race issue becuase in the ‘Mexican Muralismo art history’ it does say that before Muralismo began, there was a concern with defining a new ‘mexican’ character unless it was referring to stereotypes on how mexican people look which the basic look is dark skin, long hair, beard and etc..I feel like this movement was more of a way to express how you felt or seen. This message of the Muralismo movement was to show real life hard workers and of mix race in a big mural. Diego, Jose and David did art because they felt like they had a good vision of what they were able to see.

This Muralism art work was made in year 1962 by Alfredo Zalce. This was actually made in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico. This mural was an inspiration to the artist to how both men and women used to work hard back in those times as in hard labor. This mural was painted which took a lot of time and effort to paint something so beautiful and very detailed. The dimension of this piece, according to the description it was 350 m2

The history of Mexico mural in the main stairway
This mural was done by Diego Rivera in year (1929-1935). The materials used was most definitely paint with some kind of special color pencil...does not say necessarily with what but by looking at it, it was used by paint. The dimension was three huge walls, North and south walls, up to 70 meters to 9 meters. I honestly fell in love with this mural, this has to be my favorite out of all the murals I have seen. of course Diego didn’t work alone on this mural but since he was the main artist he did very good and so surreal.

This piece was made by Aurora Reyes Flores made in 1937. The materials used was pencil and lots of shading. The dimension of this is (unknown). This artist caught my eye after turning in the first assignment about Muralismo I wish I could have came across her art before anything. Aurora was the FIRST mexican female muralist and first exponent in Mexican muralism. She’s was the daughter of a soldier called León reyes and mother named Luisa Flores. She was very well known for being a writer and scholar. This image caught my eye because of how she named it by “woman of war” which in those times it was odd? To see or hear something like that which I really liked.

Elena was ALSO a Mexican female artist, but she was the FIRST mexican female to do one of the biggest murals in Mexico which is honestly pretty cool. I didn’t come across the female artist until after investigating for murals. Every art she has is detailed and all over the place (like the picture I provided) she didn’t always draw in one piece she drew in multiple or almost a whole building. This mural caught my eye becuase of how she added soldiers, hard working men, cowboys and etc... 
Pan American Unity
Pan American Unity 
This mural was made by Diego Rivera in year 1940. The material is paint/spray paint. Dimension is (unknown). This mural Diego did has so many meaning behind it because as Diego mentions in his description he did this because it was part of the golden gate international exposition on treasure Island. Diego says “My father found the way in which the United States and Mexico belong to America, and that there is a reason to fight for America, the continent...the mural should be in [the new home of the Mexican Museum] that is going to be built, as a tribute to the friendship that we now have between the United States and Mexico,” which he could have not said that perfectly (in any other way) This mural was to make both countries unite as a whole.

It began to emerge in the mid-1950s in Britain and the late 1950s in America. Ultimately it reached its peak in the 1960s. According to pop artist Richard Hamilton, the characteristics of pop art were “ Popular, transient, expandable, low cost, mass-produced, young, witty, sexy, gimmicky, glamorous, and big business” (Tate). The goal of the pop art movement was to get rid of the boundaries between “high” art and “low” culture. To show how one movement isn’t higher than another and that they can make use of ideas from another movement. 
    New York was the hotspot for American pop art. Artists were using their experiences and what they witnessed around them as inspiration. Some of the main artists that are associated with this movement are Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, and Ed Ruscha. They started off their careers in commercial art which provided them with a great eye for mass culture. They learned techniques that allowed them to merge both high art and popular culture. 

Marilyn Monroe

Drowning girl

Crying Girl

By Roy Lichtenstein in 1964. What caught my attention was the emotions she was showing. I also noticed some similarities that I found in other pieces. The faces usually have little red dots and are very animated. The colors are also really bright.

Harlem Renaissance
Harlem Renaissance
The Harlem Renaissance was a movement that happened between 1910-1930s. The movement was also called the Black Renaissance and the New Negro Movement. 

The Harlem Renaissance was centered in Harlem, New York City, and Manhattan. Other cities were Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Saint Louis, Cleveland, Boston and Washington, DC. This movement even was also present in the Caribbean, and Paris. 

Numerous pieces of Black art detailed the struggle of the movement and the celebration of it. The main artists that were associated with movement were Jacob Lawrence's (painter), Duke Ellington (musician), and Langston Hues (writer). 

Racial pride, unity, and equality was the theme of the movement. Black people wanted to connect to Africa, which they did through Pan-Africanism. The artwork and music was joyful. It also brought different kinds of music together. For instance, jazz and soul. Dance, fashion, and theater showed visual characteristics of the movement. 

The Great Migration started this movement. Black people integrated for the South to get away from the racist conditions of the Jim Crow. Harlem had the largest number of Black people who migrated from the south. 

The Harlem Renaissance was between World War 1 and World War 2. Black people got tired of the racist conditions and injustices of the Jim Crow south. So they migrated for better treatment and jobs. Mony artists of the time expressed the social and political climate of that time. Not only did they express the movement, they also displayed the Great Migration to the north. For instance Jacob created many pieces about the Great Migration. Jacob Lawrence painting called, “The 1920's... The Migrants Arrive and Cast Their Ballots”, depicted the arrival of Black people who migrated.

Pop Art 
Pop art was a creative and unique type of art that made a great movement. This art movement was active in the 1950s and the 1960s. The pop art movement was started in the United Kingdom and America. Pop art was started with multiple artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, and Claes Oldenburg. They all had a strong influence on pop art. Andy Warhol is the most famous of pop artists and he made a great impact to make pop art popular and he definitely had some great art pieces. This art movement began as a different approach to art and had views different from any other form, which made pop art unique. During this time was the aftermath of World War II. This was also time with the civil rights movement in the United States.

Surrealism Art (1924-1966)
Surrealism Art (1924-1966)
The Surrealism art movement was active between 1924 and 1966. The movement was found by poet André Breton in Paris. It also went as far as Latin America where artist Frida Kahlo created surreal works of art. A couple other artists associated with this movement are Salvador Dalí and Max Ernst. The primary visual characteristics of this movement were imaginative and came from "the unconscious mind". The art can appear pretty bizarre and unique since each artist has a different imaginative mind and surrealist art style. A primary goal poet Breton had when starting this movement was to free the minds of society. This would later allow artists all over to create their own dreamlike, abstract art. The post World War I period was when the surrealism movement was starting up. Major figures in Surrealism were forced to leave Europe to escape Nazi persecution.

While I found this image, I was unable to find the title, artist, year of creation, along with the media used. It appears to be some sort of painting. Although I was unable to find important information about this piece, it was still one of the most eye catching surreal art pieces I have ever seen. I was initially captivated by the detail of this piece and how simple yet abstract it is. Personally, the waves are a representation of the girl in the painting being free minded, deep, and full of mystery.

Pop Art Movement (mid 1950s - late 1970s)
The pop art movement gained popularity after WWII in America and Britain. Break through artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claus Oldenburg were famous for turning everyday objects and pop culture figures into icons with this style of bright colored art and dimension. The goal of the movement was to blur the lines between high and low culture and make people view things differently and see them as unique. There was a lot of racial tension and segregation due to the civil rights movement post war, so this art gave something in between high and low culture to try and steer away from the ideas of being in a high or lower class.

The art movement I h
The art movement I have chosen to study for my report is symbolism. Symbolism was a late 19th century movement whose artists communicated ideas through symbols instead of straightforward depictions. “It was created as a reaction to art movements that depicted the natural world realistically, such as Impressionism, Realism, and Naturalism.” Symbolism dominated Western culture in the late 19th century. The beginnings of the movement can be traced back to the lat 1800’s. Symbolism was mainly founded in western culture. Symbolists were a loose group of artists who had different artistic styles and techniques. Three main artists associated with this movement are Gustave Moreau, Odilon Redon, and James Ensor. Gustave Moreau painted detailed ornamental paintings inspired by mythology, where as Odilon Redon painted surrealist black and white drawings of body parts. James Ensor created a unique style based on grotesque, distorted figures. Symbolism began with the manifesto proclaiming that “every person, natural element and object should be used to represent a symbol of a deeper idea or emotion.” Rather than replicating reality, artists should suggest it with symbols. It mainly started off as a literals movement but it was quickly adopted by visual artists. In the late 19th century there were many major events taking place. The 19th century saw large amounts of social change; slavery was abolished, and the First and Second Industrial Revolutions led to massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit and prosperity. Population growth radically changed the face of the nation's cities.

Jupiter and Semele
Jupiter and Semele 
Artist Name: Gustave Moreau
Year Created: 1894
Used: Oil Paint
Dimensions: 7′ 0″ x 3′ 10″
This painting is symbolic of humanity’s union with the divine that ends in death. Themes of death, corruption, and resurrection all appeared in this painting. The figure of Jupiter suggests the isolation of the dreaming artist and the life of ideas. This painting is also symbolic of the neuroses (obsessions) of the modern age.
The Eye Like A Strange Balloon Mounts Towards Infinity
 The Eye Like A Strange Balloon Mounts Towards Infinity
Artist: Odilin Redon 
Year Created: 1882
Used: Paper, Pencil 
Dimensions: "5′ 0″ x 2′ 10″
the large scale of the eye is the symbol of the spirit rising up out of the dead matter of the swamp. The physical organ which is looking up towards the divine is carrying a skull. This work evokes a sense of mystery within a dream world. The head is a symbol of the origin of imagination.
Death And The Mask
Death And The Mask
Artist Name: James Ensor 
Year Created: 1888
Used: Oil Paint
Dimensions: 2′ 8″ x 3′ 3″
I was drawn to this piece because of the life-like qualities to the skull of death in the center, with its grin, and to the mask of the people. The mask is trying to cover up the spiritual hollowness of the decline of the times. The light and bright palette shows the absurdity of his time. The raw colors and interesting texture are the symbols to strip down to the layers of the human psyche.
The Three Brides
The Three Brides
Artist Name: Jan Toorop
Year Created: 1893
Used: Paper, Pencil, Crayon
Dimensions: 2′ 7″ x 3′ 3″
I was drawn to this piece due to all the hidden symbolism. The bowl of blood symbolizes the purity of emotions and passions. The bed of thorns is symbolic of pains. The bells in nailed fingers are symbolic of the sound of bells within the artist and evoking of senses. The artist tries to relate humans to the spiritual world. All of this I found quite mesmerizing and astounding.
The Dance Of Life
The Dance Of Life
Artist Name: Edvard Munch
Year Created: 1899
Used: Oil Paint
Dimensions:  125 x 191 cm
I find it very interesting that paintings can hold so much symbolism. I came to learn that this painting has many meanings. Even the different colors of dresses symbolizes different things. The woman in white is a symbol for virgin; the red one is symbolic for a carnal woman of experience and the woman in black is satanic who is shown aged one. The scene in the back symbolizes the eternity, vast unknown and finally death. The dance is symbolic of worldly works and merry-making. The dance of life is thus also a dance of death.

The art movement that I chose to research is on pop art. Pop art started during the mid to late 1950's, and emerged from the United States and the United Kingdom. With fine arts being an established form of art pop art had its hurdles with joining the mainstream art division. Pop art is based on using imagery of pop culture like hamburgers, the crying girl painting, and, the famous Marilyn Monroe comic book style picture. 

The purpose of pop art was to shift the culture of high and low art proving that there's no more prestigious art but that art can be taken or created into something as simple as the chicken noodle soup can because it is influential. 

The artist to bring popularity o this art culture was Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Keith Haring. The goals for this art movement was to set themselves apart from other art because they felt left out and that art like theirs weren't being represented. During this time the civil rights movement was going on, America was helping out Vietnam during the war, and President John F Kennedy was assassinated.

Pop art
Pop art
Pop art is an art movement that started in the 1950’s, but became popular in the 1960’s in America and Britain. The imagery of Pop art is a sign of the times as it shows an enthusiastic endorsement of the capitalist market and the goods it circulated during the manufacturing and media boom post-World War.

Pop art began as rebellion against traditional views on art. Many young artists felt that traditional art wasn’t clicking with them as it had nothing to do with the life they were currently experiencing. Pop art uses unconventional items such as product packaging and comic books for their imagery. These artists did not feel represented in the world of art culture, so in essence they pushed themselves into the scene by creating this movement. They accomplished their goal because Pop art became what traditional artists and critics did not want it to become: an art form. It didn’t matter what the subject was, Pop art artists believed anything could be art.

Art critics disliked this style of art at the time since it was based on unconventional items such as comic books and product packaging for imagery. These inspiration materials were considered “low” on the spectrum when it came to the world of art. An example of Pop art is a famous painting created by Andy Warhol of a bunch of Campbell soup cans. Another artist for this movement was Roy Lichtenstein, who famously drew inspiration from comic book strips. Lastly, James Rosenquist is known for his collage paintings of advertisements and other media.

According to tate.org, “In the United States, pop style was a return to representational art and the use of hard edges and distinct forms after the painterly looseness of abstract expressionism.” They continue, “By using impersonal, mundane imagery, pop artists also wanted to move away from the emphasis on personal feelings and personal symbolism that characterized abstract expressionism.” However, Britain took a different approach to Pop art. Britain’s version of Pop art focused more on how American’s lifestyles are “manipulated” by their popular culture.

Deborah Kass’ work was a tribute to Andy Warhol in her The Warhol Project: The Jewish Jackies Barbara series. She stated that this work allowed her to identify herself because she had never seen a jewish celebrity look like her until Barbara Streisand. This piece stood out to me because of actress/singer and the repetitive images of her, which had me question why the artist was interested in Streisand.

I found it interesting to read that Andy Warhol was a commercial illustrator and became a renowned Pop art artist using Campbell’s Soup cans as his subject. I read that he would use product packaging for imagery to avoid competing with other well known Pop art artists.

Symbolism
Symbolism 
The art movement that I chose to research on is Symbolism. This movement was active in the late 19th century. The movement I chose was associated to the French, Russian, and Belgian origin. Some artists that were associated with symbolism are Gustavo Moreau, Gaston Bussiere, Carlos Schwabe, and Viktor Vasnetsov. The primary visual characteristics of Symbolism are death, mythology, and sex. The goal of this movement was to replace the corrupt middle-class lifestyle with a more spiritual and universal idealism. According to the Met Museum,” Symbolism initially developed as a French literary movement in the 1880s, gaining popular credence with the publication in 1886 of Jean Moréas' manifesto in Le Figaro.” Symbolism began as a literary movement, it was quickly adopted by a group of visual artists.

The Surrealism Period transpired in 1924 prolonged till 1966. The movement began in Paris which was led by André Breton; though NewYork was also an influential city for the movement. The Surrealism movement valued rational thought, opposing the tyrannized intrusive thoughts drilled into society’s heads by the government at the moment. Art was produced to open the unconscious mind to unrealistic images that make you second guess your eyes when first looked upon. Since this movement did take place in the duration of both World Wars, notable artists took the concept of war and let it inspire their surrealistic paintings. An influential artist during the period was Rene Magritte. One of his famous paintings was one called The Treachery of Images (1928) which was an image of a pipe with the caption (This is not a pipe). His point of painting such painting was to send his viewer into a paradox. He obviously painted a pipe but when the caption clearly says otherwise, it makes you question yourself. Honestly all surrealistic art is different; each artist takes their own form of the meaning and paint as they will. Though some common visual effects include objects that either look out of place for the painting or distorted. The dreamlike state of a painting is also an indicator. Usually surrealistic art makes you question yourself, requires a second look and is something that is not originally depicted
Philosopher's Lamp (1936)
Philosopher's Lamp (1936)
René Magritte - Oil; 50 x 60cm
What caught my eye at first glance was his nose connecting through his pipe.It looked provocative at first till I read a generalization about the painting and came to realize that according to the website rene-magritte.com, this painting is a self portrait that symbolizes the artist's addiction. I think this is a great example because you have to find a deeper meaning than the initial first look 
The Wounded Deer (1946)
The Wounded Deer (1946)
Frida Kahlo - Oil; 22.4 cm × 30 cm
Kahlo placed her head in replacement of the head of the deer that was shot with multiple arrows and is laying on the ground. The reason for her staging the painting like so was to signify the way she felt after a surgery that left her feeling as shown in the canvas. This is a great example, because even though Kahlo herself doesn't conserve herself a surrealist artist, her painting depicts her to be a wounded deer yet just like most surrealist paintings, there is a hidden message beyond the initial look. 
The Elephant Celebs 1921
The Elephant Celebs 1921
Max Ernst - Oil; 49.4 in × 42.5 in
This example of surrealism is of an object that is used as a barrel for storming corn called Konkombwa. It is disguised to look like an elephant. It is a good example of surrealism because it is something of real life that is made to look like a robotic elephant. 
The Elephants 1948
The Elephants 1948
Salvador Dali - Oil; 70 x 61 cm
This is a pretty cool painting that Dali created. The longs legs the elephants obtain are something that I've never seen. The exaggerated look of it makes it seem dream-like. 
Hand with Reflecting Sphere 1935
Hand with Reflecting Sphere 1935
M.C Escher - Painting;12.5in × 8.4in
Escher created a painting that would send his audience through a rabbit hole of thoughts because it is a painting of a man looking at himself through a reflecting sphere! It is trippy to see a painting reflect such skill which is why it is a prime example of surrealism.

Between the end of W
Between the end of World War I (1917) and the start of the Great Depression and the run-up to World War II, the Harlem Renaissance was a time of rich border artistic and cultural development among African Americans (the 1930s). Artists affiliated with the campaign shared pride in black life and history, an increasing sense of injustice and prejudice, and an interest in the quickly evolving contemporary world, with many for the first time witnessing freedom of speech through the arts.

The material that was used for this piece was woodcut. This image was eye catching because it looks like there is an image of an African American who is holding buildings in his hand which may represent a city. I feel like that symbolizes how this black folk wants to make parts of the city his own with his own culture and traditions. This is a good example for the Harlem Renaissance Movement because it shows how black folks are trying to take some part of the city where they can be themselves and discover new things that white people have not experienced.

The material used for this artwork is made from cotton. This piece caught my eye because the name of the work says it all. It shows how black folks can freely express themselves because they are surrounded by their people. This image relates to the Harlem Movement because it shows how black people can truly be themselves without being having fear that they might get hurt from a white person. It also looks like everyone is dancing and enjoying life.

This image was a painting made by Allen Rohan. This was eye catching because I noticed a black woman with a graduating hat on her head. I feel as though this symbolizes how everyone is smart not just white people. Anyone can get an education and become successful. This related to the Harlem Art Movement because before African American people were not allowed an education with the segregation happening as well. It prevents black folks to go to school but in Harlem every black folk in this artwork is heading out of school.

This artwork was an oil painting. This work caught my eye because of the instruments that was in this piece. This related to the Harlem Art Movement because Harlem was a place where black folds came together and united as one. Music played a huge role in expressing their culture and traditions. Jazz was one of the type of music that was introduced to the world because of the Black folks.

This was a canvas art. This was eye catching because I can see how the black folks were fighting the white people on a boat. This relates to the Harlem Art Movement people had to fight in order get what they want. African Americans only wanted to have their culture expressed and white people would get in the way so violence was used.

Photorealism
Photorealism
Photorealism is an art movement that originated in the 1960s as an alternative to photography. It involves creating convincingly hyper realistic art that closely resembles something very life-like. Taking cues from the pop and minimalist art movement, photorealism sets out to capture scenes of everyday life in ways a photograph can’t do. Unlike photographs where certain details can’t be altered, photorealistic sets out to reproduce a photograph while simultaneously adding additional details to make it stand out. There is no record of who created the first photorealistic art, but there are notable artists of the movement like Richard Estes, Ralph Goings, Audry Flack, Robert Becthle, and Chuck Close. The primary characteristics of photorealism involve mostly scenes of everyday life. Something like a view of the city streets or objects on the street can be found in many photorealistic art. It is not limited to the city though, it can be nature, people, animals, anything really.


McDonalds Pickup, 1970
McDonalds Pickup, 1970
This piece is called "McDonalds Pickup" by artist Ralph Goings. This was created using oil paints and the result is a very lifelike portrait of a McDonalds chain.
Supreme Hardware Store, 1974
Supreme Hardware Store, 1974
This is called the "Supreme Hardware Store" by artist Richard Estes. What got my interest with this piece was the attention to detail. He replicated everything from the reflection off windows, to very minor details like the litter on the pavement and its overall texture.
Diogenes II, 2009
Diogenes II, 2009
This is "Diogenes II" by artist Denis Peterson. At first, this might look like your average photograph but it is actually in fact, hand drawn. I like to think of this as one of the finer examples of hyper realistic art. The level of detail on this is amazing and I'm pretty sure many people will mistaken this for a photograph. 
Cable Car Heaven, (Year Unknown)
Cable Car Heaven, (Year Unknown)
This piece is by artist, Evgeny Lushpin. This is my favorite piece here. It might not be as photorealistic as all the other ones but its realistic enough for me to add to this list. There's something about the colors here that I can't describe but I can definitely say that it makes me cozy.
Unknown Title
Unknown Title
This is a portrait of a crowd by artist Dan Witz. This is another great example of a photorealistic pieces. At first, it doesn't seem to be special just a picture of a rowdy crowd. What is impressive about this is that it is not a photograph. Dan got every facial expression down and even made the crowd in the background detailed enough.

Cubism
Cubism
1907-1919
It is greatly associated with Paris.
Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris
Deprives the original form of the source and brings out the geometrical version of it.
A freedom to allow the viewer to think deeper when viewing an art piece.
The United States was taking over in various aspects of the country and the world in general. Segregating the Indians into reservations, beating Spain in the Spanish War, becoming the largest agricultural producer among more. 
The Women of Algiers
The Women of Algiers
By Pablo Picasso, made in 1955, oil painting.
First off, the art piece is beautiful to look at. There seems to be a lot going on and I give credit to the cubism aspect of the art work for it.  
The woman looks very proper although in contrast her breasts are showing which confuses the viewer. I think it is a good piece for the movement as Pablo Picasso was a major influence in Cubism and removing the restrictions of normal art in his time.
Houses at L'Estaque
Houses at L'Estaque
Georges Braque, 1908, oil on canvas.
I chose this image because Georges Braque worked in the presence and shadow of Pablo Picasso. His first response to Pablo Picasso's first artwork depicting geometric shapes took him by surprise but eventually interested him. He responded by creating this image in 1908, a year after Pablo's first Cubism art piece. It is amazing to see and get to actually see house shapes removed of their original form. Visually giving you a sense that they are indeed stacked among each other in a crowded field. 

I and The Village
I and The Village
Marc Chagall, 1911, oil painting.
The image speaks highly of itself and within that lives up to its title. Facing one another is a sheep (I imagine) and a man. Giving me the sense of facing the full force of the natural world. The surrounding has buildings giving shape to a small town and the small town customs (a cow being milked). I feel like the connection between geometric shapes and representational art is well merged. Giving off various interpretations upon glancing at the image.
Tea Time
Tea Time
Jean Metzinger, 1911, oil painting on cardboard with dimensions 75.9 x 70.2 cm (29.9 x 27.6 in).
Also, another image of both representational and geometric shapes. I noticed her arm holding the spoon is not completely geometric giving it a more interesting look. As I look around I notice that everything else seems distorted as well and it is exactly what the artist intended to do. Perfect for the type of art work it is as it deflects from the original shape of the woman and her surroundings giving her a more structured appearance. 
The Sunblind
The Sunblind
Juan Gris, 1914, Charcoal/Chalk/Collage elements. 3′ 0″ x 2′ 5″
The piece is rather interesting to look at because of how true it is. I have a dark curtain with my blinds fully closed to block out the morning sunshine. It makes sense when you want to stay in and rest. I feel that is funny also as it has something appearing to cover a fraction of the blinds by trying to block out more sunshine from seeping in. I think the ability to make out the blinds but not what is covering it is what would lead this to fit into this category.

Abstract Expressionism
Abstract Expressionism
The Abstract Expressionism Art Movement became active during the years 1940s and 1950s.

The Abstract Expressionism Art Movement developed in New York in 1950. In Europe in the 1930s, it brought “several leading Surrealists to New York, and a lot of the Abstract Expressionists were influenced by Surrealism’s focus.

Abstract Expressionism is an expression on reality being expressed in a non-representational description. Abstract Expressionism includes line, colour, size, aggressive mining of colours, shapes, and forms “that creates a painting of pure thought and emotion.”

The goal for Abstract Expressionism Art Movement is to, “ Evoke their aim to make art that while abstract was also expressive or emotional in its effect,”  They were also inspired by the Surrealist idea that art should come from the unconscious mind, and by the automatism of artist Joan Miró. The Abstract Expressionism Art Movement got started by the World War II movement in American painting and was later developed in New York. It also evolved over its years into two broad groupings which are called, “Action-painting,” and “ Colour Field paintings.” 

During the Abstract Expressionism Art Movement there were several artists that were influenced into Abstract Expressionism Art due to World War II. As said in the article Abstract Expressionism- A Timeless & Powerful Art Movement it states, “A post-World War II movement, Abstract Expressionism originated in the 1940s and 1950s in the United States and was a genre motivated by an emotional expression, derived from exposure and assimilation of European Modernism.” Abstract Expressionism got started by the World War II movement in American painting and was later developed in New York.
Convergence- Jackson Pollock
Convergence- Jackson Pollock
(1952)

The materials Jackson Pollock used for his paintings were called alkyd enamels (resin-based paints), hardened brushed , sitcks, and basting synringes as paint applicators. 
The dimension of the pieces of this painting are 237 cm x 390 cm (93.5 in x 155 in). 
This picture caught my attention of the different, bright colors Jackson used for this painting. It makes it outstand more although I see it like a "messy" painting, but it looks very cool. I feel like this painting is a good example of the Abstract Expressionism movement because it was one of the most famous paintings of Jackson Pollock, also known as a famous painter and this painting was created/influenced by the Cold War.
1957-D-No. 1- Clyfford Still (1957)
1957-D-No. 1- Clyfford Still (1957) 
Clyfford Still used mostly powder pigments and boiled linseed oil which will applied them with palette knives as well. 
The dimension of the pieces on this painting are (113 x 159). 
I chose this painting because I love the way Clyfford created this painting. To me it looks like a "drippy" painting which makes it look really cool and the colors he used also go with the flow of the painting and make it outstand more too. 
This painting is a good example of the Abstract Expressionism movement because his painting express the themes of death, existence, struggle, and creation. 

La Grande Vallee- Joan Mitchell (1983)
La Grande Vallee- Joan Mitchell (1983)
The materials used for this paintng are oil on canvas as well. 
The dimensions of this painting are (110 x 236 1/4 inches). 
I chose this painting because it also caught my attention. It looks very beautiful and also the colors give it a more creative painting. This painting gives me good vibes and it kind of looks like trees, not too sure, but I love this painting as well. 
I feel like this painting is a good example of the Abstract Expressionism movement because it shows a lot of abstract art and was also one of Mitchells famous painting. The Grande Vallee painitng is a story "of a secret place or pirvate heaven" and it also connects to Mitchell's grief with the death of her sister and a close friend she has lost.

The materials that wre used for this paintng were oil on canvas. The dimensions of the pieces are (102 1/2 x 181 3/4 inches).
I chose this painting because I loved the colors se used in this painting such as blue greenishm black, brown, and has a mixture of many colors which make the painting look abstract. I loved it! 
I feel like this is a good example of the Abstract movement because it was known creating large works and also used "interplay between panels as a compostional tool, like paragraphs or stanzas in a poem."
Drip- Jackson Pollock (1947)
Drip- Jackson Pollock (1947)
The materials he used for this painting were gloss enamel paints, 
The dimensions of the pieces are close to 1.5
This painting caught my attention because it is a drip painting and I find drip painting really cool and it gives me good vibes just by looking at the paintings. I feel that you can express yourself when creating a drip painting. 
Overall, I feel that this Drip painting is a good example of the Abstract Expressionism movement because his paintings were influenced by the Cold War and "present less a picture than a record of the fluid properties of paint itself."

Conceptual Art
Conceptual Art
Conceptual art is a movement whose dominant period is in the mid-1960s to the mid -1970s. However, its root started in 1917 by Marcel Duchamp in New York, U.S.A., and was recognized as a movement in 1967 through Sol LeWitt's article.

The primary visual characteristics of the conceptual art movement are very diverse and hard to defined as the movement itself is based on the idea and not the material or skill of the artist.
The movement is very controversial as it challenges art boundaries. It is philosophical as it stimulates thinking to figure out the real meaning behind each pieces. It is sometimes rebellious and humorous as it criticizes certain aspects of humanity.

"One and Three Chairs" (1965) by Joseph Kosuth
Medium: wood folding chair, mounted photograph of a chair, and mounted photographic enlargement of the dictionary definition of "chair."

At first, this artwork makes no sense to be put as display in a museum because of its simplicity. However, this is a great example to represent the conceptual art movement because there are layers of meanings beneath the simplicity of the objects included. The written definition confirms the existence of the chair while the photo proves the existence of the chair in the past. All three are considered chairs.

Abstract Expressioni
Abstract Expressionism got its start in New York during the mid 1940's and continued to rise in popularity through the 1950's, though people are still creating works of this style today.  Jackson Pollock is the artist most synonymous with this style, especially Action and drip style paintings. Abstract expressionism, or Ab-Ex, is difficult to describe visually since it relies on paint as an action and/or emotions themselves. It can be thought of as the art world's opposite to photo-realism, as it is driven by emotion rather than recreation of physical real-world sights.

The Why:
The Why:
Interchange- de Kooning:
I chose this painting because it once held the record for highest price ever paid for a painting when it was purchased for $300,000,000 (Sept. 2015-Nov. 2017) 

That might seem like a terrible reason to choose this artwork, but the whole reason that I decided on Abstract Expressionism is because last week, I watched a documentary "Make You Look: A True Story About Fake Art" on Netflix and it left me with more questions than answers bout the style. (An equally bad reason, I know. Please forgive me!)
The documentary was about foraged paintings of some of the most famous Abstract Expressionists that sold for huge sums of money. One of the lingering questions in my mind was "why was it worth so much when it had the name, but worth nothing when it didn't, even if the works were still 'good'?" I still don't have that answer, but I do know that "name brand" abstract expressionist paintings go for very high sums of money, and this one is a clear example of that.

Elegy to the Spanish Republic #132- Motherwell:
I chose this one because I liked the absurdity of having at least 132 "Elegies to the Spanish Republic." To be honest, I still don't quite "get" this style of artwork, but I love the eccentricities of the artists themselves. I like Motherwell's works because they remind me of Oompa Loompas dancing, and this one is no exception. 

 (I'm really sorry, Professor Gregor, for my reasoning in choosing these works.  I wish I could come up with better answers, but these are the honest ones.)

Untitled- Rothko:
I knew I needed to have one Rothko Color Field style painting. I was torn between this one and Black on Maroon (1958.) I decided on the brighter of the two even though visually, I like looking at the other one more. This painting, once again, reaffirmed that I don't "get" this style. I thought that the painting made in 1968 was much happier-looking than the one painted a decade earlier, yet in reading about the artist, I learned that he committed suicide less than 2 years after painting the "happy" one. At every turn, abstract expressionism surprises me, and that was especially evident here.

Le Gros- Kline:
Once again, I wish I could tell you a better answer, but I chose this specific painting simply because MoMA had a high quality image of it.  I can't tell what's up or down in any of Franz Kline's works, but I knew I wanted to include him since he is an important name in the Abstract Expressionist world. 

Autumn Rhythm (No. 30)- Pollock:
I started and ended with Jackson Pollock intentionally. In nearly every source I read about Abstract Expressionism, his name was the first on the list and the only name I was familiar with prior to this course. This specific painting is huge, like many of this style are. I would really like to see some of his works in person simply for the scale. When we shrink things down to fit on screen, these paintings look a jumbled mess. I hope that when I get the chance to see one in person, I will finally be able to truly appreciate his works.

Fauvism
Fauvism 
The movement that I chose to research was Fauvism and it was active during the years of 1905 - 1910. Fauvism art originated in Paris and was primarily made by French artists. 1906 was the year that the movement was most popular and showed the world that Paris was the center of flourishing art. The 3 main artists that were associated with Fauvism were Henri Matisse, Maurice de Vlaminck and André Derain; Henri Matisse was the main Fauvism leader. The primary visual characteristics of the movement were expression of an individual’s focus from color use,
abstraction and simplified forms, and vivid colors and textures. It was a popular art form in the 20th century that allowed for the artist to express themselves passionately using color which was also the goal of the movement. During this time in Paris, the French had passed a law to separate the state and churches

Materials: The fauve was created with oil paint on a canvas of Henri Matisse who was the leader of Fauvism 
Dimensions: 460 × 349 mm
This particular piece caught my attention when I read the title of it because its a portrait of Henri Matisse, the leader of Fauvism. I personally think that it was a good example of the overall movement due to the expression Derain had while experimenting with the oil paint.

Dimension: 657 × 991 mm
I liked this painting because it uses so many different colors and are all incorporated perfectly where it doesn't look too congested and fits nicely. I felt that this painting was a great example of the Fauvism movement because it used the bold colors and contrasted them in a way were the drawing almost comes to life with effects.
Title: Standing Nude (1907) - Henri Matisse
Title: Standing Nude (1907) - Henri Matisse
Materials: Oil painting on a canvas
Dimension: 921 × 648 mm
This particular painting caught my eye because the bold colors used portray a beautiful woman walking and give the audience the effect of of dimension to her body. I believe that this a a great example of the movement as it gives us exaggerated features and texture using vivid colors.

Title: Reading Women with Parasol (1921) - Henri Matisse
Title: Reading Women with Parasol (1921) - Henri Matisse
Materials: Oil painting on a canvas
Dimension: 508 × 616 mm
This painting caught my eye even though it was made many years after the fauvism movement because Matisse's use of color creates the dimension of the shade and shadow within the painting which makes it a great example of a Fauve. It shows great growth in the amount of detail and the blend of the colors used.

Street Photography
Street Photography 
What is the name of the art movement?
	-The movement that most interest me was Street Photography 
Between which years was this art movement active?
	-Years between 1930’s-1970’s is when Street Photography was in its “golden” stage. We still use this type of artwork and we see it all throughout social media, commercials, advertisement and so much more. 
If the movement you chose is associated with a particular country or region, in what places was it found?
	-This type of art was founded in France. Throughout the years as artwork spread from region to region, it has now spread overseas and is now one of the most popular photography. 
Who are at least three of the main artists associated with this movement?
	-Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brassaï and André Kertés are the three most common artists that are french. 
Describe the primary visual characteristics of this movement.
	-The primary visual Characteristics is to Simply show how people behave in public, obviously without their knowledge. These artists wanted to show what people look like on a day-to-day basis on any other day. Whether it was a homeless person, someone walking into work, going to the grocery store, smoking a cigarette, walking their dog, going to school, people laughing, hugging, kissing. Anything that a normal person would do, an artist would find a way to capture it in the moment and make an art piece. Most of these photos are usually in black and white. 
What were the goals or objectives of this movement? How did it get started?
	-I kind of explained this already in the last question but their goal was just to show everyone who saw their art, that just taking a photo of a stranger with no point or story can still be amazing and unique. Although they may not have a story in the beginning, by looking at these photos yourself, you sort of create your own story and think to yourself what they might have been doing in the time this photo was captured.
What was going on in the world while this work was being created? Give us some cultural context here, for example, was there a war going on? Was there a struggle for racial or gender equality happening? Was the artist commenting on the social or political events of his/her time?
	-There was no direct purpose to this movement, it was simply to just take pictures of strangers without their knowledge and turn it into amazing artwork(Naomi Blumberg).

What I liked: I liked this piece because you can tell in the photo that it's old. You can tell because the quality of it is not that good and there is a bit of discoloration in it. The floor looks like it is old and somewhere out of the States. In the top left corner, the wall seems to be a bit destroyed and appears to be a window on wood. The way the lady is dressed also seems to be from back in the days. I can tell this was taken during the day because there are shadows of the building.

What I liked:I liked this piece because there is a lot of contrast in the trees and the lights where the cars are at. There is a more positive energy at the bottom right corner of this photo and a negative energy in the top left. Everything seems to be dark so the photo was taken at night. It is also snowing because there is white in the floor and cars and it is also in New York where it is really cold at the moment.

Pop art
Pop art 
artist:Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi 
Year:1969
This small group included the artists Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi as well as architects and critics. Lawrence Alloway (1926–1990), the critic who first used the term in print in 1958, conceived of Pop art as the lower end of a popular-art to fine-art continuum.
I just liked this piece of pop art. I feel that pop art is one of my favorite forms of art. It has something that gives everything a better look. It looks so dramatic and realistic it just looks fancy.

Year: 2012-2014
Artist:unknown 
the principal objective is to capture the history of the population with a deep look into popular  reality through the muralism art”.
The goal of this movement is to have a social compromise with the population reflecting their own histories from the village to the village looking to send a message of igualacion dreams with a better society for their population.
At the time there was a problem going on because society was not doing the right things; it was a caos.
In my opinion this piece of art reflects the times and the works of the people also what got my attention is that this is about society and in this mural there is just a man so what does it means does it really have something behind it or is it just a simple mural.

Harlem Renaissance
Harlem Renaissance

 

The Harlem Renaissance was the name given to the most popular artistic expression movement created by african americans. This was the artistic time period of african american writers, poets, photographers, scholars, and musicians who traveled all along the US for the hope to find a place where they could freely express their talents.

 

This movement was active towards the end of World War I and during the middle of the 1930s. Around the mid 1920s, it was originally known as the “New Negro Movement and was actually named the Harlem movement in the 1930s because it was the center for african american migration.

 

The Harlem Renaissance took place in the United States but specifically in Harlem, New York which is a suburb area right outside of New York City.

 

The three most famous artists that took over this movement would be Langston Hughes, Aaron Douglas, and Augusta Savage. Langston Hughes was known as one of the most prominent writers and thinkers of the Harlem Renaissance. He helped form rich american literature along with influencing politics with his writing. He had a strong sense of racial pride along with writing poetry about inequality for children. He did not condemn racism through his writing rather he was an advocate for the african american community. Aaron Douglas was a famous graphic artist and painter who’s best known for this contribution of illustration in the book, “The New Negro”. Throughout his lifetime he won various awards for his artwork which depicted stories of african american struggles and life. He was able to land multiple jobs as a book illustrator throughout this movement. Augusta Savage was an american sculptor who struggled to find her place in the art world due to the heavy racism and sexism that took place in this time period. During her time, she was able to found the Savage Studio of Arts and Crafts and was nominated as the first African American woman elect of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors. She was well known for teaching younger black artist to sculpt.

 

During this time period, the main visual characteristic where “white propaganda “ since african americans were not allowed to present their art to the general public. Throughout this movement, black artists, painters, and sculptors began developing aesthetics and art styles that depicted african roots and traditions to Africa such as folk art and music. Art became more inclusive of people of color along with the aesthetics and values of paintings and artwork. Many artists such as Douglas created their own style of geometrical representation and silhouette like art that represented the african american community.

 

The primary goals and objectives of the Harlem Renaissance were to showcase african american artists during this time period. There were many great artists that rose because of this influential movement in the african american community. They dreamed for more involvement in american society and wanted to politically empower others along with wanting equal economic and social rights in society. This movement was started after the Great Migration which took place after slavery was finally made illegal which caused african american people to migrate up north for more job opportunities. 

 

There was definitely a lot going on during this time period. It was the end of World War ! and the start of the Great Migration which occurred when the slaves from the south were freed. In order to sustain themselves financially, they heard about numerous job opportunities in the North so millions of african americans migrated north for better economic, political, and social rights. At this time, there was still quite a few hate groups and massive racism towards people of color. Groups such as the KKK were lynching african americans and campaigning against them in order to take away their rights and to cause intimidation. Because of the movement up north, Harlem drew in a lot of African American artists, painters, scholars, poets, and sculptors who had been waiting for a cultural movement to express their artists ability. This cultural explosion was known as the Harlem Renaissance and took place in many cities such as Los Angeles, Cleveland, Chicago, and San Francisco. This movement created the biggest social spiritual coming of age and caused people of color to have strong pride over their race which later showed through their art work.

Medium: oil on canvas 
2d artwork 
This piece of art caught my attention because of the pop of colors, the brush strokes, and the significance it had in its time period. In this time period, people of color were underrepresented in almost all forms of art so seeing an African American person being painted is amazing. Despite racial adversity and hardships, they were trying their best to be included in more art forms and to be represented.

Talking skull 
Meta Vaux Warrick 
1939 
Medium: bronze 
Dimension: 3D sculpture 
After doing some research on this piece, this sculpture was based off an old African folk tale where a man encounters a talking skull. This is why it looks as if the man is kneeling and addressing the skull on the ground. In the folk tale, he comes back and tells his village that he found a skull on the ground that talks but is punished for it because they believe he is lying. It’s great to see pieces based off and inspired by African stories and folk tale. This is what makes this piece of art so unique to its time.

This piece interested me because its a drawing of Langston Hughes, which was one of the most famous people that came from the Harlem Renaissance. It’s significant to its time and it depicts a person who inspired others to write and stand up to racial injustice. I love how he is drawn with a suit and what seems to be a book with writing since he was famous for his poems, stories, and novels.

Midsummer might in Harlem 
1936 
Palmer Hayden 
Oil on canvas 

This artwork caught my eye because it depicts the night life in Harlem. There are families on the steps, people in cars, dogs roaming the area, and people just conversing and being social. There are African American people building a tight knit community and it represents how the Great Migration looked like. This is significant to the time because of historical context of all African American people being grouped up in one part of town.

Jitterbugs II 
William Henry Johnson 
1941 
Medium: planographic prints 

I’ve never seen this type of art before so I thought I would do some research. Jitterbugs was a type of dance created in the Harlem movement that later became known as swing dancing culture. It looks as if the woman is dipping into the arms of the man and the contrasting colors and patterns of the print make it seem as if its become one shape. It’s a bizarre piece of work but it highly interested me and it represents the dance culture created by African americans in this time.

Minimalism
Minimalism
The artwork is named Trajetória I by artist Anna Maria Maiolino. The work was born in the period 1976/1980 of the 20th century. 
               The work is currently on display at the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes museum in Brazil. 
               There have been at least three artists pursuing this minimalist art movement: Anna Maria Maiolino, Ralph Humphrey, and Sol LeWitt. 
               The most outstanding feature of the minimal art movement is its utmost simplicity, the colors are limited or very little, the shapes are also utilized. Minimalist works by the artist Anna Maria Maiolino usually only have basic colors such as black, white, red, or beige. She also uses paper and threads just like her artwork collection "Trajetória I".  Minimalism in art is characterized by the discovery of the most essential elements in different art forms such as art, architecture, design, sculpture, music ... which helps to eliminate the redundant expression to express the value of works in the clearest and most effective way.
               Minimalist art was developed in the United States in the late 1950s to the early 1960s by artist Frank Stella.
               In the formative phase of minimalism, notable events took place, for example, in 1959, the world population hit 3 billion. In 1960, Muhammad Ali won the 1960 Olympic gold medal in Rome, and there are many events that took place during the formative period of minimalism art.

Minimalism
Minimalism
Minimalism is an art movement that emerged in the United States in the late 1950s and reached its peak in the mid to late 1960s. It is also called Minimalist Art or ABC Art because it focuses on the essential elements.
The three significant artists associated with minimalist art are Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, and Robert Morris. The main visual feature of minimalism is simple, arranged geometric shapes without any decorations or dynamics, which is extremely simple and straightforward. The characteristics of minimalism are associated with sculpture rather than painting.
     Minimalism emerged in New York in the early 1960s, and these artists voluntarily abandoned the latest art that they considered outdated and academic. Art Nouveau favored cool over "drama." Painters and sculptors avoided overt symbolism and emotional content, calling attention to the substance of their work. In New York City in the mid-1950s, young artists such as Donald Judd, Robert Morris, and Dan Flavin dominated the abstract expressionist painting style. Still, they were moving in a new direction thanks to their growing understanding of modern European art.
    In the 1960s, the United States entered the Vietnam War, and U.S. Presidents John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King were assassinated. 1960 was also the era of protests, during the civil rights movement when blacks and whites protested against racial injustice.

Muralismo This a
Muralismo 
This art Movement is of painting murals on public and civil building was active in 1920 - 1970. We can still see this movement today in cities with large Hispanic communities. Muralismo can be traced back to the Olmec civilization, before the Spanish Crown colonized Mexico and reformed the country. Muralismo is a form of storytelling, large scale images of  Mexican Revolution, political, social, and nationalism themes would raise awareness to the public. Muralismo began with government funding, this art form would give voices to the communities and its people that had no voice. These mural would shine light on the injustices going on at these times, at the time this movement was active. The three most celebrated artist of this movement are Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros. These three are referred as the three greats. During this movement Mexico was divided and a civil war broke out between the political parties, fighting for power over the country.

Cubism
Cubism
In the early 20th century Cubism was the most influential visual art style. It was first discovered and created by Pablo Picasso (Spanish 1881-1973.) Following George Braque (French 1882-1963), adding on the movement was associated with Paris between 1907 and 1914. Three main artists that were associated with Cubism were ofcourse Pablo Picasso, George Braque. With the new visual language being created it was used by many other painters joining them was Juan Gris, Jean Metzinger, and Albert Glezies. The primary visual characteristics of this movement was to show different view points. Their goals for the movement was to emphasize the art it got started  by breaking down objects and figures into distinct areas or planes. At the same time and within the same space, and it became three dimensional form. During the time cubism was created  ww1 was going on. Around that time gender equality was occuring women were not shown as much or appreciated for their work. By 1960 that's when women were being presented more. The artist would add bottles, pitchers, newspaper, and playing cards with the human place. At that time many men would rather be with friends and do those activities.

This is another amazing art piece that represents Cubism. I chose this art because it caught my attention. It involves a guitar, grapes, pears, and musical score that are placed upon a green marbleized. This image gave me a 20th century feeling of how things use to be like, also what they would do on there free time. Which would involve playing music and eating fruits.

I chose this image because it is very interesting to look at. I believe this painting defines "Cubism" because in every cube there is a different part of the woman's body. Like her breast, and ball jointed legs. I like how the colors on the painting are neautral and not bold. It makes the viewer be able to see the defintion behind the art work.

This painting caught my attention, not only by the name of it but how its painted. In the image it show many different body parts like breast, hands, and faces. I liked how it shows that everyone is in the rush hour. So it has many different color face expressions, and suits. So it can either be in the work field or just the the rush in our everyday lifestyle.

I chose this image because it stood out to me. Juan Gris is also one of the first persons that started Cubism with the founder Pablo Picasso. Juan also did a painting of Pablo. However this image stood out to me because this man has humorous expressions. He look like he is thinking or is sad, starring at something smiling but the closer you stare at the painting you see he has a tobacco pipe in his mouth. I like the colors in this painting the background is dark also his clothing. The only colors that stand out the most are in his face which is the main focus of this painting.

Within time they added more into the painting such like the trees and mountains in the upper left corner side. Later on adding the dark shadow back wall. It looks like she has her legs crossed and enjoying her time.

What drew my attention to this piece was the near true to life depiction of each of these items which must have taken a significant amount of time and effort. I think this is a good representation of the movement because of the use of reflections, lighting, and attention to detail to the objects that the artist is trying to emulate in the painting. Every line of text on a glass ketchup bottle is presented in this painting, correctly being distorted by a bright light.

This piece has no easily recognizable form beyond a vague representation of curtains, though the shape here does not matter as much as normal art. Rather, the piece conveys a sense of authority and almost dread through the use of felt reaching out towards the viewer. Gravity played a role in inspiration according to MOMA, as the "skin-like" material "reflected [the artist's] concerns at the time." There is a sense of weight and dread in this piece I think captures the sense of the time.

As mentioned in my last point, furniture has become we known for minimalism as a culture and identity. The artist submitted a statement that furniture was "an extension of the body," and these minimalistic designs were about "hostility [rather than] function." The piece feels threatening, like a strange abyss-like entity looming. All the feelings are unpleasant which match the tone of the 1960s minimalistic movement.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Born in Kewanee, Illinois, Richard Estes studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1952 to 1956. He worked in advertising and publishing for a decade before giving full time and attention to painting. In the late 1960s Estes emerged, along with a number of other like-minded artists who were working in a highly realistic style that in many ways was a response to the minimalist and other pervasive abstract styles. As a recognized leader in the contemporary movement that became known as Photorealism, his work has been seen with ever-increasing frequency in exhibitions presented by museums and galleries throughout the United States and Europe.

During the late 1960s and through the 1970s it was the urban landscape that most captivated the artist. Estes was struck with wonderment by the variety of the city and the reflections created by the massive amounts of glass building fronts. "NYC Parking Lot" illustrates the artist's interest in depicting these reflections by depicting a group of cars and the distorted reflections of the city around them. Working from photographs instead of slavishly copying from the photo, the artist recreates and often readjusts the images once the composition is underway. Of his use of the camera, Estes wrote, "the camera is like one eye and it really deals only with values. And painting is trickery, because you can make people respond by guiding their eyes around the picture."

Title:Toy Soldier

Artist's Name:James Maher

Year Created:2015

Media/Materials Used:camera

Dimensions of the Pieces:

What I liked:I loved this art piece because when I look at it, I picture myself behind this fence and looking through this hole and seeding New York from the outside. It looks like the Soldier has his gun pointed at the lock like if he shot it to make this hole. The main focal point is the toy and the background is of the city and is blurred just a little.

The artwork is named Trajetória I by artist Anna Maria Maiolino. The work was born in the period 1976/1980 of the 20th century.

The work is currently on display at the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes museum in Brazil.

There have been at least three artists pursuing this minimalist art movement: Anna Maria Maiolino, Ralph Humphrey, and Sol LeWitt.

The most outstanding feature of the minimal art movement is its utmost simplicity, the colors are limited or very little, the shapes are also utilized. Minimalist works by the artist Anna Maria Maiolino usually only have basic colors such as black, white, red, or beige. She also uses paper and threads just like her artwork collection "Trajetória I".  Minimalism in art is characterized by the discovery of the most essential elements in different art forms such as art, architecture, design, sculpture, music ... which helps to eliminate the redundant expression to express the value of works in the clearest and most effective way.

Minimalist art was developed in the United States in the late 1950s to the early 1960s by artist Frank Stella.

In the formative phase of minimalism, notable events took place, for example, in 1959, the world population hit 3 billion. In 1960, Muhammad Ali won the 1960 Olympic gold medal in Rome, and there are many events that took place during the formative period of minimalism art.

This photo has no people or animals but shares the beauty of the buildings structures in a secluded area. This picture I felt gives a modern idea of this movement and gives another form of connection of art through admiration of the lone street and it's qualities.

Dimensions of the Pieces:

What I liked:I liked this piece because there is a lot of contrast in the trees and the lights where the cars are at. There is a more positive energy at the bottom right corner of this photo and a negative energy in the top left. Everything seems to be dark so the photo was taken at night. It is also snowing because there is white in the floor and cars and it is also in New York where it is really cold at the moment.

What caught my eye to this art piece is the how many people are painted. Everywhere you look there is Black people. I love the style of this artwork. This artwork is an example the movement because you can see how the neighborhood were during that time. What time of clothes and cars there was. Also how close the people were. Even what kind of religion was
prominently around.

This is a portrait of a crowd by artist Dan Witz. This is another great example of a photorealistic pieces. At first, it doesn't seem to be special just a picture of a rowdy crowd. What is impressive about this is that it is not a photograph. Dan got every facial expression down and even made the crowd in the background detailed enough.

What caught my eye is the club them of this artwork. The colors are bright and makes me smile. I feel that the title should not go to this artwork because the people in this art piece seem happy. Also they seem to be having a good time. I feel this is a good example of the movement because it shows the nightlife of that time and the vibe as well.

I have chosen this picture because it unique in a way that makes me wonder what the artist is thinking or feeling when taking this photo. The significance of the photo can be many things making it somewhat undefinable. It is mysterious in this nature and the rawness of it is perfect for this movement.

This art piece draws my attention because I love how he organized the colors. The odd shapes and the material are pleasing to the eye. This art piece is a good example for the movement because it shows Harlem during that time. It depicts the stores, clubs, and even funeral homes. The colors gives the vibe of the community of that time.

Deborah Kass’ work was a tribute to Andy Warhol in her The Warhol Project: The Jewish Jackies Barbara series. She stated that this work allowed her to identify herself because she had never seen a jewish celebrity look like her until Barbara Streisand. This piece stood out to me because of actress/singer and the repetitive images of her, which had me question why the artist was interested in Streisand.

Interchange- de Kooning:
I chose this painting because it once held the record for highest price ever paid for a painting when it was purchased for $300,000,000 (Sept. 2015-Nov. 2017)

That might seem like a terrible reason to choose this artwork, but the whole reason that I decided on Abstract Expressionism is because last week, I watched a documentary "Make You Look: A True Story About Fake Art" on Netflix and it left me with more questions than answers bout the style. (An equally bad reason, I know. Please forgive me!)
The documentary was about foraged paintings of some of the most famous Abstract Expressionists that sold for huge sums of money. One of the lingering questions in my mind was "why was it worth so much when it had the name, but worth nothing when it didn't, even if the works were still 'good'?" I still don't have that answer, but I do know that "name brand" abstract expressionist paintings go for very high sums of money, and this one is a clear example of that.

Elegy to the Spanish Republic #132- Motherwell:
I chose this one because I liked the absurdity of having at least 132 "Elegies to the Spanish Republic." To be honest, I still don't quite "get" this style of artwork, but I love the eccentricities of the artists themselves. I like Motherwell's works because they remind me of Oompa Loompas dancing, and this one is no exception.

(I'm really sorry, Professor Gregor, for my reasoning in choosing these works.  I wish I could come up with better answers, but these are the honest ones.)

Untitled- Rothko:
I knew I needed to have one Rothko Color Field style painting. I was torn between this one and Black on Maroon (1958.) I decided on the brighter of the two even though visually, I like looking at the other one more. This painting, once again, reaffirmed that I don't "get" this style. I thought that the painting made in 1968 was much happier-looking than the one painted a decade earlier, yet in reading about the artist, I learned that he committed suicide less than 2 years after painting the "happy" one. At every turn, abstract expressionism surprises me, and that was especially evident here.

Le Gros- Kline:
Once again, I wish I could tell you a better answer, but I chose this specific painting simply because MoMA had a high quality image of it.  I can't tell what's up or down in any of Franz Kline's works, but I knew I wanted to include him since he is an important name in the Abstract Expressionist world.

Autumn Rhythm (No. 30)- Pollock:
I started and ended with Jackson Pollock intentionally. In nearly every source I read about Abstract Expressionism, his name was the first on the list and the only name I was familiar with prior to this course. This specific painting is huge, like many of this style are. I would really like to see some of his works in person simply for the scale. When we shrink things down to fit on screen, these paintings look a jumbled mess. I hope that when I get the chance to see one in person, I will finally be able to truly appreciate his works.

This photo is a more intrusive shot done by Winograd, who is known for more obscure, bold artwork. I chose this piece because it does represent the idea of candid and unknowledgement of the shot being taken, i also felt the expressions on the people of this image were a great indicator of this.

What caught my attention is the dark blues and black. I love how the yellow is in the art piece as well. Also I love the message. This art piece is a great example of the movement because of the message it displays. It shows how Black people came from Africa and it ends at Harlem.

I find it very interesting that paintings can hold so much symbolism. I came to learn that this painting has many meanings. Even the different colors of dresses symbolizes different things. The woman in white is a symbol for virgin; the red one is symbolic for a carnal woman of experience and the woman in black is satanic who is shown aged one. The scene in the back symbolizes the eternity, vast unknown and finally death. The dance is symbolic of worldly works and merry-making. The dance of life is thus also a dance of death.

I was drawn to this piece due to all the hidden symbolism. The bowl of blood symbolizes the purity of emotions and passions. The bed of thorns is symbolic of pains. The bells in nailed fingers are symbolic of the sound of bells within the artist and evoking of senses. The artist tries to relate humans to the spiritual world. All of this I found quite mesmerizing and astounding.

What I liked: I liked this piece because you can tell in the photo that it's old. You can tell because the quality of it is not that good and there is a bit of discoloration in it. The floor looks like it is old and somewhere out of the States. In the top left corner, the wall seems to be a bit destroyed and appears to be a window on wood. The way the lady is dressed also seems to be from back in the days. I can tell this was taken during the day because there are shadows of the building.

I love the colors in this art piece. I loved that he showed African Americans having fun and enjoying life. This art piece is a good example of the movement because it depicts how the nightlife was doing that time. The view gets to see how people dressed. Also the art piece has movement which causes the view to think about the music. It also makes the view ask question about the movement.

I was drawn to this piece because of the life-like qualities to the skull of death in the center, with its grin, and to the mask of the people. The mask is trying to cover up the spiritual hollowness of the decline of the times. The light and bright palette shows the absurdity of his time. The raw colors and interesting texture are the symbols to strip down to the layers of the human psyche.

the large scale of the eye is the symbol of the spirit rising up out of the dead matter of the swamp. The physical organ which is looking up towards the divine is carrying a skull. This work evokes a sense of mystery within a dream world. The head is a symbol of the origin of imagination.

This painting is symbolic of humanity’s union with the divine that ends in death. Themes of death, corruption, and resurrection all appeared in this painting. The figure of Jupiter suggests the isolation of the dreaming artist and the life of ideas. This painting is also symbolic of the neuroses (obsessions) of the modern age.

The art movement I have chosen to study for my report is symbolism. Symbolism was a late 19th century movement whose artists communicated ideas through symbols instead of straightforward depictions. “It was created as a reaction to art movements that depicted the natural world realistically, such as Impressionism, Realism, and Naturalism.” Symbolism dominated Western culture in the late 19th century. The beginnings of the movement can be traced back to the lat 1800’s. Symbolism was mainly founded in western culture. Symbolists were a loose group of artists who had different artistic styles and techniques. Three main artists associated with this movement are Gustave Moreau, Odilon Redon, and James Ensor. Gustave Moreau painted detailed ornamental paintings inspired by mythology, where as Odilon Redon painted surrealist black and white drawings of body parts. James Ensor created a unique style based on grotesque, distorted figures. Symbolism began with the manifesto proclaiming that “every person, natural element and object should be used to represent a symbol of a deeper idea or emotion.” Rather than replicating reality, artists should suggest it with symbols. It mainly started off as a literals movement but it was quickly adopted by visual artists. In the late 19th century there were many major events taking place. The 19th century saw large amounts of social change; slavery was abolished, and the First and Second Industrial Revolutions led to massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit and prosperity. Population growth radically changed the face of the nation's cities.

This piece is a self portrait that was inspired by Vincent van Gogh according to the Museum of Modern Art (MODA). The design intends to warp one's sense of identity in a world that revolves around corporate identity. Consumption defines personality, so there are not human aspects to this art, only logos. This fits minimalism in that the overall tone is bleak and related to American culture as a whole, as over-consumption following World War II and the nuclear threats pushed focus toa
