Image vs content

I thought Pablo Picasso's Bust of a Women Picture as a good example of imagine vs.content.When you first look at the imagine is looks like a women drawn very differently but if you understand the content behind it theirs much more.Picasso had Repulsion towards women he had a lot of heart breaks through out his life so he truly had a hatred towards women. the content behind this imagine is very different then the image itself. he drew two faces of the women probably representing their two faced. next he drew a pig noise maybe representing their greedy or selfish. when you know a little back ground on the artist it helps to explain their story they are portraying through their art.

Iconoclasm

Iconoclasm art is very hard to find but also difficult to understand to in this imagine called the Collapses of the Berlin wall was taken by Ardee Man. its a perfect example of Iconoclasm art which is art that is taking action on making a difference. sometimes its art that is a symbol for a cutlrue being destroyed by a different culture.you saw a lot of that in Israeli different culture destroying other art so it would be lost in history. in this imagine the German citizens are knocking down the Berlin wall that split Germany during world war two.this imagine a great example of inconclasm because the people are removing a symbol that represented the old culture so a new one can now take place. by removing this wall it made Germany a much more power nation and put a end to world war 2.

Icon

Icon art is a pop culture art that is know world wide by people. its when a imagine becomes so powerful its bigger then its self. for example if you saw a imagine of a yellow big M everyone worldwide knows that the M is for Mc Donalds. another example would be a Coke bottle you know red, white, black always has represented the famous soft drink coke a cola. in this imagine by Ferdi Rizkivanto called coca cola zero has the famous cultural known coke bottle. in this imagine thought it uses a dead pond lily to show how low of calories are in  the new coke zero because its fly away. this Is Icon art because its uses a coke bottle which is know world wide in many cultures as a franchise symbol.

NonRepresentational

Nonrepresentational art does not refer to the natural or objetctive world at all. the work has to do nothing with realism to be consider nonrepresentational art.in this painting called Golden summer by Makoto Fujimura it does not contain any recognizable objects and is therefore nonrepresentational.we have tan boxes falling with red and blue in the back ground non of those objects represent anything real. this art work does not represent anything of real nature but kinda tells its own story.when I look at it I feel like its saying anything can deteriorate or collapses. you have multiple objects falling down with gaps in between almost like a puzzle falling apart.

Abstract

Abstract art is very different because the less the work resembles real things in the real world the more is it abstract. abstract art is almost like an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. in a way you hide your imagine with abstract art by having different shapes and sizes all mixed together to make one object. when you look closer at he work you see the real imagine. in this piece Wine and Dine by Paul Lewis he uses different objects and shapes to represent two people drinking wine. the use of the blocks and colors makes a abstract picture. if you look to the left you have a bottle of wine being pored then in the middle theirs and man with a bow tie on and all the way to the right we have a women I believe with a hat and lipstick on. the unique thing about abstract art is you really have to look to see what the artist is trying to show you.

Representational

This painting is called Still Life with Brown Jug by David Abed, its a great example of representational art. Representational art is work that resembles what the eye sees and the more real it looks the better it is. in this imagine by David Abed we have a apples, oranges, brown jug and some ornaments. all of these are painted to look real.the realism in this piece is exceptional, the artist made the brown jug have a glare to make it look more appealing also he add in lighting to give everything a much more real look. this is a great example of representation art because everything looks real and natural the less it looks real the more likely its abstraction or nonrepresentational art.

Kitsch

Cassius Marcellus Coolidge famous painting A Friend in Need is a perfect example of a Kitsch art which is art that inferior and tasteless. you cant tell if its sentimental glamorous theatrical or creative. usually they use animals in kitsch art  to symbolize figures. in this case he uses dogs to symbolize men drinking and smoking and playing poker. I like how he has the two dogs cheating hence the title and friend in need.Coolodge does a lot of kitsch art and is best known for using dogs.

Aesthetic

Probably my most favorite piece of artwork on this planet Vincent van gogh Starry nights. the most unique thing about this painting is the detail. Vincent used multiple colors of blue to bring this beautiful art work together. the concept of this is aesthetic art. which usually has a lot of detail to it and is balance and shows true beauty. he uses everything in this piece he has multiple texture and shapes and sizes. I really like the unity of colors and how the sky almost looks like its in actually blowing because of the rhythm of the work. starry night resembles aesthetic art because of all the little detail in it.

Role 4

this sculpture is called seated couple made by an African tribe in the 16th-19th century. the concept of this sculpture is to show the fourth fundamental role of artist. this peace of art is made by hand probably to show their community that they are in a relationship. African tribes had many cultural ways and family was the most important thing.  this sculpture was made after a couple got married in a tribe to show that they are now husband and wife. a member of the tribe must of made this sculpture as a gift to represent them together. the woman has her hand around his neck probably meaning she taken by him. this relates to the fourth role because it uses personal feeling and shows you the the truth. the truth that they have become partners for life.

Role 3

this image is very different then the rest its called Carhenge by Jim Reinder. the concept of this imagine is to show the third fundamental role of artist. which is making objects and structures more pleasurable and beautiful to the human eye.Jim used scrap cars to remake the world know Stonehenge which can be found in England and dates back to 3000 Bc. this imagine shows that you can  even make art out of  the cruddiest material. Jim used a crane to place all these scrape cars in  the right order and then painted them all stone gray. this relates to the third role because it makes fundamental structures and objects more pleasurable by using scrap cars to make art. this is definitely one of a kind and takes a imaginative man to do so.

Role 2

This imagine is called Slaves by Thomas hart Benton. the concept of this art work is to show the second fundamental role which creates a visual record. this imagine shows a white man preparing to whip a African American slave. the slaves wife and children have no clothes on probably to symbolize that slave wife's and daughters were raped back in the day by the owners. If you look closely it almost looks like they are preparing to leave a boat to come to America.the reason I say America is because in the back ground you see tall buildings and houses that look like plantation in the south.also these houses are  painted white and  majority of plantation back in the 1800 were painted white to show white dominance. this image really captures the essence of brutality towards slaves during the 18 and 19 hundreds.

Role 1

this imagine is called Doorway to the stars by Josephine Wall. the concept of this picture is to show the first fundamental role which is showing the world in a new innovation way. I believe Wall is trying to show that their is something out their in the universe. he made the sun and the moon the most visible in the back ground to show their importance to us but he also put stars and planet to make you wonder what could be out their. the woman in the front is looking up at the sky also shows she wondering whats could be out their in the universe. the most unique thing about this peace of art is the three pyramids of geezer next to this glowing city.the city could be a symbol representing the begin of life started in Egypt or the city could be home to another planet. people still wonder today how the Egyptians built these pyramids but more so how did they directly line the point of the pyramids up with Orion's belt(three stars). this picture does make you wonder could their possibly be other life out their.
