The First Picture Is Called "The Japanese Bridge" It Was Created/Made In The Year 1913 In Cleveland .It's Basically 101 Years Old. The Artist name is William Sommer & Its From The "Modernism" Era. I chose This Piece Of Art Because it is Extraordinary, It Is Simple But Eye Catching At The Same That. I Love How The Artist Took His Time To Create It, From The Shape Of The Bridge ,To The a Color Lake, & The House On Top Of The Hill. Everything Coordinate One Another. The Choice Of Colors Plays A Major Role On The Outcome Of The Art Piece .
The Second Piece Of Art That Caught My Attention Is The " Sun And Moon " By Robert Delaunay. It Was Created In Paris Between The Years 1912-1913 I'm Not Too Sure . I Chose It Because It's Similar To The First One ( The Japanese Bridge ) .. Although They're Not The Same Or From The Same Artists, But To Me The Colors Are Basically The Same. I See Red, Green, Yellow, Purple Etc. I Like The Fact That It's Just As Beautiful As The First One. It Reminds Me Of Calm Day, You Know Like Sort Of Mellow, Not Too Cold Nor Too Hot Kind Of Day.
In My Opinion I Feel Like Both Artist Did A Great Job. It Doesn't Matter How An Artist Chooses To Do Their Work, Art Is A Form Of Expression And Relaxation. There Is No Wrong Or Right Way To Create Art. The Best To Do Is Let a Your Imagination Run Wild, Do Your Best & Whatever You Know Will Show At The End Of The Day . There's No Doubt That Both Artist Did A Great Job, They Took Their Time & They Are Both Beautiful .
Great choices. But make sure you try to answer the questions that I asked about the work. Europe was more the center of the art story at the turn of the 20th century. Is there anything that suggests that this American painting should get as much attention in the history books as the european one? Robert Delaunay is definitely the more famous artist of the two.
ReplyDeleteDo you think the artists knew of one another and of each other's respective art traditions? Or are they working in the same art tradition but just from different geographical places?
The intention of this assignment is for you to compare an artwork from the popular story of art with an artwork that doesn't get as much attention, and then consider why one is included and one is left out. I think you chose two good examples for this, but your writeup should try to show a thoughts about these issues.
