Tableau I

--Piet Mondrian

Viewers are hard to see the brush strokes in this painting. In my apinnion, it is a new brushstrokes style. Mondrian used shapes and lines to paint. That is a fantastic new way of painting in art history. It is totally new so that it is modernism art.

Sketch of The City Rises
-1910
-Umberto Boccioni

In first eye, viewers may just see the whole red tough brushstrokes. It is hard to say what Umberto want to express. When people spend more time on this painting, they can figure out buildings and figures. Figures are curve. Buildings are shaking. And then, people relate the title with the painting. They can see Umberto want to describe the changing of the city rises. The painting is alive and fantastic.

In this painting, the main figure's face and body are twisted. The person loses the human form. The background is twisted, too. The straight fence and normal human bodies, which are far away from the main figure, have high contrast with the twisted people and background. Viewer can feel a dizzy suffering in this painting.

Before the 20th century, most of artists drawing and painting in a reality way. It means that everything was drew as what it looks like. Different with Romanticist art works, these artists will depict their emotion in art works, and then they made paintings and drawings be more humanistic. In the beginning of the 20th century, some artists were not satisfied in the general expression way. In order to show the emotional visibly and strongly, artists transformed objects and subjects in their art work. It was a new visual experience for viewers.

Modern bases on present， contemporary and now. Follow the era and the time is the main point of modern meaning. So that it is the one of the principals of modernism. Artists created works to express the world where they living and then reflect what is the worlds look like.

Different with Titian's painting, the woman's body and face in Manet's painting was painted by flat way. The women's face looks normal and mediocre. The women faces to the viewers and looks straight so that viewers cannot feel ambiguously. But in Titian's painting, viewers get ambiguous feeling.

In my opinion, one principals of modernism is reality which means making works close to life.
The realism art movement in painting began in France in the 1850s. The realist painters rejected Romanticism, which had come to dominate French literature and art, with roots in the late 18th century. Realist artists embody emotions and ideas and were opposed to the Romanticism. They want to express that beauty also exists in life.  They face the fact and do not be blinded by perfectionism that embraced the Philosophical aims of modernism.

Okay, Guiping. Try to think about what those artists did that seemed so modern to you. This is not so much about the artists being part of a movement as it is about imagining what their individual goals might have been.

Also, when you do use movements to organize your artists, try to be more precise. Manet is a Realist but not really an Impressionist. Seurat, Cezanne and Van Gogh all are consider Post-Impressionists whose goals are fundamentally different from those of the Impressionists.

Happy to talk about any of this with you.
