During the Feminist Art Movement they emerged in the west in the late 1960s it was anti-war in America, as well as civil, and queer rights movement around the world. 
The goal for the Feminist Art was to influence culture attitudes and transform stereotypes. Before women weren’t being seen in the public eye. They were often denied by exhibitions and galleries which caused people to not see their art.

 

This piece of work impressed me because of its acidic color. The scene of autumn during sunset time gave me a feeling of peace and claim. This piece is a good example of Fauvism as I can see the thick lines depicting the structure of the house and the mountains. Also, the artist used vivid colors to express his emotions in the artwork. 

 

When I saw this artwork, I felt how strong the color it is. The artist used green, red, yellow, and blue colors blending in this work of art. This piece is a great example of Fauvism. I can see the artist used green to depict the sky, which is non-naturalistic. There are also many bold black lines to draw out the shapes of the boats. The aggressive colors show the style of Fauvism. 

 

This piece attracted me because of the twisted trees, and the color of the trees is coated with different colors. The whole piece intertwined with diverse colors. This is a good example of Fauvism because the artist used unnatural colors and loose brushwork.

 

This piece caught my attention because it showed many boats, and they were so crowded in the river. The boats in front of the painting are painted in crimson, which is very eye-catching. This work of art is a good example of Fauvism because it displays exaggerated and vivid colors.

Man Ray actually created these rayographs by accident. He forgot to expose an image and waited for the image to appear in the dark room. While waiting, he placed objects on the photo paper, which left these prints on the paper-- creating these rayographs. Due to the accidental nature of the piece, they are an example of Dadaism because Dadaism embraces the random and the accidental. 

What really caught my attention with this piece is the amount of detailing done on this segment. There are countless individuals within this painting, and each one of them looks completely realistic. Not only that, but the use of imagery in this work undoubtedly sets a gothic mood. The flower ornamentals can be seen all around the painting and helps set the feeling of eeriness. 

I was genuinely fascinated by this landscape done by Gustav Klimt. The way Klimt produced this oil painting amazed me; because of the fact that the setting looks somewhat unclear and a bit hazy. The trees seem to have a lot of movement because of the way this painting was done. It is a very textured piece and I even enjoyed viewing the walkway that heads toward the living space, it automatically gives off a rough textured feeling. 

What I really liked about this painting was the setting. The overlay of the quarters seen before the individuals seemed very detailed and realistic to my eyes. With a marble finish, the painting, in my perspective, comes to life. Also, the color scheme seemed very well putting. Having gold accents for the building; and complimentary colors for the peoples fashion, this painting has an eye popping effect. 

Similar to “Avenue of Schloss Kammer Park,” the ocean of this painting seems to have a good expression of movement. I enjoyed seeing the perspective of the ships and how they moved across the ocean in a certain way. The movement of this painting is further expressed with the seagulls moving in a certain direction. All together, this painting and its movement seems to have been brought to life. 

- I was attracted to this painting because of the simple shapes and the color scheme. I also notice that in the middle there is a rectangle of lighter yellow in the middle of the painting. It is different from the background to pop out so you can observe there is actually 3 rectangles and not just 2.

Artist's Name: Louise Bourgeois

Year Created: 1997

Media/Materials Used: Metal, wood, glass, textiles, rubber, precious metals, including silver and gold, and bone

The Spider Cell (1997) Metal, wood, glass, textiles, rubber, precious metals, including silver and gold, and bone. Louise Bourgeois addressed materiality, gender norms, and the depths of her own psychology in her radically innovative practice. The Feminist Art Movement The emergence of the western feminist art movement in the late 1960s coincided with the rise of American anti-war protests and gender, civic, and LGBT rights movements around the world.

Artist’s Name: Judy Chicago 

Year Created: 1974-1979

Media/Materials Used: Porcelain, ceramic, and textiles 

Dimensions of the Pieces: 576 × 576 in. (1463 × 1463 cm)

The 1970s feminist movement benefited greatly from this feminist art. The details, however, were provided by Judy, who painted porcelain plates and gold ceramic chalices  and butterfly-inspired designs to symbolize Mother Nature, the vagina, and the life-giving qualities of being female.  The Dinner Party artwork was a ceremonial bouquet with thirty nine place settings to honor each significant woman in history, shaped like a triangle table.

Artist’s Name: Mónica Mayer

Year Created: 1978

Media/Materials Used: String, paper, and clothespins

 I also thought this artwork, which was intended to shed focus on women's experiences with sexual harassment in Mexico City, was significant. A large number of pink paper postcards with blank spaces on them were delivered by artist Mónica Mayer to a variety of women in Mexico City in 1978. Each card said, "As a woman, what I most dislike about the city is."

Artist’s Name: Monica Cook

Year Created: 2014

Media/Materials Used: Hand-blown glass, mirrors, found objects, and plant and animal life into mysterious, metamorphic organic objects.

Phosphene by Monica Cook abstracts, shatters, and intertwines a pair of male and female semi-transparent shapes. The feminine figure occludes and submerges into the masculine beneath in Cook's sculpture, which incorporates a variety of materials including resin, plaster, urine, salt, blood, wax, bones, wire, and ceramic teeth. The piece gives ephemera along with notes of fleshy pink skin and cracked limbs. "Phosphene" is a term for a retinal phenomena during the perception of light. Cook's work alludes to the non-binary, genderqueer telos of modern feminism as the two figures split into shards of desecrated glass devoid of any and all gendered signifiers. I liked this piece since it has many details through all the materials used within the artwork and also how it can be perceived in many ways.

Artist’s Name: Georgia O'Keeffe

Year Created: 1926

Media/Materials Used: Oil on canvas

Dimensions of the Pieces: 6 x 29 7/8 inches

Georgia O'Keeffe was an American modernist artist known as the "Mother of American Modernism" and the founder of the feminist art movement. She is most recognized for her paintings of enlarging flowers, New York skyscrapers, and landscapes from New Mexico. Insisting that the analogy between Black Iris and female genitalia is "immediate," "concrete," and "that the two meanings are practically interchangeable."

- Something that attracted me to this painting is how unfinished it looks. The person has no hair or arms and have no defined features. I also kind of like how confusing it is to look at.

- Something that attracted me to this painting is how messy and unorganized it is. It seems very chaotic to me. I also like the countless shapes it has.

Artist’s Name: Frida Kahlo

Year Created: 1940

Media/Materials Used: Oil on canvas

Dimensions of the Pieces: 1′ 7″ x 2′ 0″

Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, by Frida Kahlo, 1940, shows the artist looking powerful and unflappable back at the viewer. I like how in her portraits it has to do with the issues she faced throughout her life.  Kahlo was open about being a woman despite the severe gender inequalities of the 1900s. She resisted changing her appearance. Her monobrow and sparse mustache were among those noted as being unsuitably "masculine."

- Something that attracted me to this painting is the fact that it was painted on cloth and not a canvas. I also like the background color and weird shapes. You can interpret the shapes in many ways. To me they look like monsters or clouds.

Artist: James Rosenquist

Year created: 1960 

Media used: Oil on Masonite 

Dimensions: 7' 5 3/4" x 12' (228.0 x 365.8 cm) [89 3/4" x 144"]

This one draws my attention because this was an early example of subliminal messaging through art. It is extremely common in this modern world, but it was still a fairly young concept when this piece came out. It was really interesting to read about.

Artist: Andy Warhol

Year created: 1967 

Media used: Acrylic paint on canvas/screen prints

Dimensions: composition and sheet (each): 36 x 36" (91.5 x 91.5 cm)

I really like the bright pops of colour in these prints. It was made after she had died, and the world was mourning their favorite celebrity. The many prints made along with this one metaphorically brought some colour back into her memory and highlighted her beautiful personality.

Artist: Roy Lichtenstein

Year created: 1963

Media used: Oil and synthetic polymer paint on canvas

Dimensions: 67 5/8 x 66 3/4" (171.6 x 169.5 cm)

As a fan of comics this one is really funny to me. It wasn’t often artists incorporated stories in this way or even humor. The style also is representative of where the famous artists of comic brands like Marvel and DC might have taken inspiration from.

Artist: Andy Warhol

Year created: 1962

Media used: Acrylic, screenprint, and graphite pencil on canvas

Dimensions: Overall: 82 3/4 × 57 1/8in. (210.2 × 145.1 cm)

Unlike factory items, custom artwork was much more difficult and expensive to produce. Unlike with newspaper, you couldn’t just rearrange letters daily and print it with one shade of black ink, there are intricate shapes, lines, and colours that make the work what it is. This work is an excellent example of screenprinting, which was similar to an early example of a modern day printer. It is really cool to see what took one artist hours to duplicate, I just copy pasted it from a google search in less than 20 seconds.

Artist: Eduardo Paolozzi

Year created: 1947

Media used: Printed papers on card

Dimensions: 359 × 238 mm

Even though the movement was in the 1950’s and 1960’s, this piece was made in 1947 by a Scottish artist and exemplified the artist’s fascination with American consumerism. This was one of the very first pieces of the movement and basically incorporates most of the ideas of the movement in this one piece. It has the machine-like printed feel, bold colours, advertisements, subliminal messaging, and the woman even has the word “POP!” near her head. I liked seeing this and comparing it to the art people made near the end of the movement.

i found this piece of art that found my attention because I like how it look balanced and center focus. I also like that color that are use in the art work.

I found the piece of art attracted to me because of the bright colors used. I also like the guitar is the clearest of all the objects.
