I have laid out these pieces like this to show the development of the style. If we compare 'The Doctor' by Luke Fields to Pavlova by Bruce Turner you can see the huge difference. Fields has created an ominous glow to the room to create a narrative where as Turners painting is full of colour, big and bright to catch your eye.
This is how modernism excelled to post moderenism, everything became less realistic, more bold and also some artists interpreted vorticism into their work. Eg In the hold and Workshop

During our trip to the V&A I found myself looking at periods from years and years ago. Therefore I did not gather good notes for the rights movements and periods.
Head Of Buddha 550-570
This sculpture is called the head of Buddha, it was made in 550-570 in China. Its made out of limestone and pigment, although in this picture it doesn't look very big but when you see it the size is huge. As you can see at the bottom of the neck it is uneven, apparently the head detached from the rest of the body.

Standing Buddha  1400-1600
Unlike the head of Buddha this piece is made out of copper and bronze, this beautiful sculpture was made in Thailand. The posture plays a very important part in this piece; The right hand is showing the gesture of granting freedom from fear, this is said to symbolise divine protection. This sculpture was made at the height of Thailand Kingdoms high power.

Step ends from the Plazzo Gondi 1490-1501
These pieces of art were made in Florence, Italy. They are made out of sandstone and where commissioned by Italian merchant Guillano da Sangallo.  As you can see the steps have carvings of animals and nature. I read that these represent old stories like Aesop's Fables and the Indian Panchantra.

Fountain Surmounted by David 1536
This beautiful piece was made by the Italian sculptor Benedetto de Rovenzzano around 1536. Although this piece is  made by an Italian artist it was created for Henry VII and decorated with the Tudor rose of England.  The figure of King David is said to represent Henry VII as David was subduing his enemy Dauphin.  This piece was commissioned by Sir William Fitzwilliam and was placed in Cowdray House in Sussex.

Tate Britain
On our trip to the Tate Britain we were looking at different examples of Modernism and post modernism. Modernism started before the war when the avant garde wanted a new world filled with peace and not conflict. Underneath I am going to list and attach all the primary research from the Tate. The main ideas of modernism in art was the composition, the story behind it and how, with out knowing you knew what was going on  as well as the of the realism. It also had a lot to do with light and darkness and getting the right amount to express the story.  It all looked very real until post modernism where everything became more wild, bright and coloured. not only was it more colourful it is easy to see how everyone's feelings had changed over the course of the war. My aim is to show you how modernism progressed into post modernism.

Franz was a bright expressionist painter, he created beautiful work just focusing on nature and its beauty.
In each of these 3 painting each colour represents something else: red, symbolised the energy and power of the natural world. Blue symbolised male dominance and maturity and yellow was said to represent purity and love.

Expressionism arose around the 1900 compared to
the movements before it like realism, impressionism and neo impressionism this
movement was bold and full of emotion. Unlike realism where everything was to
capture life, expressionism went for a form of distorted reality for example.
This movement started off in Germany during World War 1 artists were creating
this artwork as a reality that was completely different to that around them.
Although expressionism finished before the second world war it was still having
a strong impact but when Hitler came into power he banned all modern art, this
including expressionism. 

 

The key ideas in expressionism were that the art
had to be from the inner self, had to portray feeling. This movement was more
about the way it made you feel than the composition of the work.  Artists like Edward Munch and Van Gogh, they
used patterns and texture to create emotion. Expressionism caused a bit of an
up roar because of the way artist creating things in ways that people were not
used too, for example Egon Schiele is known for his drawings of the human body
especially women’s. Now his work never depicted their body in a flattering way
but this didn't mean he had a dislike towards them it was more to show his
adoration to them.  Another artists
similar to Schiele is George Baselitz, he produced a series of drawings of
women upside down, distorted and unflattering. He was showing the feeling of
anxiety and mental illness.

 

 

 However
not all expressionists showed dark emotions, artists like Franz Marc who
painted a picture of 3 red horses. The vivid colours and soft texture make it
easy on the eye but the whole idea of the
painting is to show the energy of nature. He shows this by the use of earthly
colours, the composition of the horses and as well as the landscape

Minimalism started in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s in America. In some senses this movement is similar to abstract expressionism because of the use of forms, shapes and lines etc. Yet it is also very different; abstract expressionism shows feeling and emotion where as minimalism focuses on just one main view point, this makes the art more easy on the eye creating aesthetic. Aesthetic meaning ‘concerned with beauty and the appreciation of beauty’. I read that this movement was influenced by Bauhaus, De Stijl and the Constructivists. There work was unlike anything that was made during this time. Young American artists were seeing these works and liking them, they started to create new idea and designs.

Minimalism is where artists create work with focusing on either the negative space or main object or form. They fist ever sign in art of minimalism is by an artist named Kasimir Malevic he produced a piece of work which was just a black square on a white canvas.  As you can see the main focus is on the square, this portrays the meaning of minimalism i think because of how simplistic it is.

This movement is describes as an extreme form of abstract art. People look at art and expect to feel an emotion created buy the artists, although minimalism can give off emotion the idea is that ‘you see what you see’*. Minimalism is linked the conceptual art. This style of art is art in which the idea or concept is more important than the finished product. Some people say that this movement speaks the truth because nothing is made to be something its not , or is anything unordinary. It also can represent order, repetition, simplicity and harmony.

Influential artists of this movement:
