I was surprised to hear the truth about “The Scream”. I too felt the person was screaming themselves. I am happy to know a bit more about the painting now. I also enjoyed seeing Picasso’s early work at age 11 and his oil studies. I would like to know a bit more about the professor’s opinion of the current art world we have today. Do we have a movement? What could the next one look like? After the ‘ready-made’ can there still be a specific movement now that everything has already been considered art?
Something I found interesting about todays lesson was the Exploration of Perspective. The art of cubism was really interesting because it showed that art does not have to be one standard way in order for us to understand it. Picasso really changed the way we think of art by allowing us to wonder more about the art and the many different perspectives.
What i found interesting was on how edvard munch created the painting the scream and how his ideas came to making it. Like when he made it was because he had anxiety and fear and also its interesting how van gogh starry night look almost similar to it because of the movement it had like the scream. A question i have is if Van Gogh got inspiration from edvard ?.
Also in Pablo Picasso’s painting why did he took the two men away from the actual painting he created?
It was interesting to learn Picasso was one of paved the way in redefining how we perceive art, what i took away from this lecture is that artists from the modern area left open to the viewers to interpret their works according to how they perceived it. Was this the beginning of freedom of expression? i find the arts from Fauvism, Expressionism and Futurism to be similar, i was drawn to the visual energy in the rich colors used.
Most of the artworks in this lecture was very interesting. What I found most surprising was The scream by Edvard Munch. I thought it was him who was screaming but it was the other figures who screamed while the artist reacted. Create of sense of fear and anxiety. Also I didn’t know that the artist use blood to paint the clouds in his painting. It was interesting to learn more about Picasso making his art changes a different point of view of how we see art.
One thing i can take from the lecture is the different types of isms like for example Fauvism an how it shows beautiful bright colors and reflects more on the artist there ideas. I find that very interesting and very different, one question i have about this lecture is the artist Marcel Duchamp. Fountain. might actual be a type of art I know some may say its not because its just a urinal, but if you think about most artist paint a blow of fruit and put it on a table so if you think about it there not that far apart because its just a blow of food.
The artwork that stood out to me the most was Marcel Duchamp and the fountain. He submitted a urinal to a art show as a sculpture and called it a fountain and signed it at the bottom and they rejected it. He just wanted people to look at things in a new way. I thought it was funny and i also though that it was a work of art as well. A question that I have now is if we see other things differently is that art too?
The piece that stood out to me the most out of this lecture was the Fountain, by Duchamp. I knew a little about ready mades before, but I hadn’t really known about the history behind them. I liked that he submitted the work to be judged under a fake name. The one topic that was a little hard for me was Futurism. I don’t really understand their view, or like, their manifesto. It seems so different from everything else but I don’t really understand it.
The art of cubism was really interesting for me. Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. The Scream by Edvard Munch also a very interesting art from the lecture. I also get a little curious about knowing the meaning. So what is the meaning and story behind The Scream? In what he referred to as his “soul painting,” Edvard Munch reveals an honest and perhaps even ugly glimpse of his inner troubles and feelings of anxiety, putting more importance on personal meaning than on technical skill or “beauty,” a traditional goal of art. According to Munch’s diaries, the idea and inspiration for The Scream was very autobiographical, with the modern art painting’s content closely based on a personal experience first recorded in an 1892 diary entry which Munch later adapted into The Scream painting and finally, in 1895, a poem.
When I first saw the painting Le Bonheur de Vivre by Henri Matisse I initially thought of the painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat to me it seems like they were both painted at the same place but in different angels.
As much as the other art objects interested me, Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain grabbed my attention and it seems to have the same controversial effect as it did in its debut. It’s so absurd and our first instinct is to look for deeper meaning and say he meant this as a kind of satire but it’s entirely possible there was no hidden message. In that case, the board that rejected “Mutt’s” submission was rightfully outraged but the beauty that comes from calling a mundane object with no aesthetic quality art is in how it forces every viewer to rethink so many things. Duchamp used his readymades to remove every artistic quality from the work itself to the point where it is just a provoking concept, and I think that’s great. There are questions like who truly came up with the idea or what it meant, but I think the mystery adds to its legacy.

One thing I found interesting was the art of cubism I really don’t have any questions about it the class filled me in so much.
