2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
1) Matisse and Picasso because after reading blogs about Fauvism I wanted to learn more about Matisse.
The Mystical North: Spanish Art from the 19th Century to the Present because the word "Mystical" caught my attention.
A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, 1884 (Seurat) because I am almost positive this is one of the paintings I saw at Albright Knox.
The Impact of Cubism because I like how cubism art looks like. You really have to look at it to make out a picture.
2) Matisse is deliberate, rational, and very French in the way he organized his thoughts. Picasso is a worker, impulsive, and immerses himself in his painting. "Les Mademoiselles d'Avignon" (1907) and Matisse's " and Matisse's paintings of females are compared. Picasso invents the first collage, and is at the forefront of cubism. Picasso seizes on Matisse's arabesque, and incorporates roundness and color as never before in his paintings. Matisse borrows subjects, color, or lines from Picasso.
Goya, often referred to the father of modern art, left 80 etchings of war that reveal his dark political consciousness. Goya, completely deaf, focuses his artistic vision on death, the wrath of God, and man's inhumanity to man. Unlike Goya, who rejected religion, Gaudi clung to the certainties of Spain's Catholic part. The overarching meaning of "The Persistence of Memory" by Dali is that all live is subject to death and decay.
"La Grande Jatte" portrays a great array of bourgeoisie in their stiff attire. Though in the same scale, the paintings depict contrasting ideologies and social commentary. Seurat spends 10 months on "La Grande Jatte". Close-up analysis of the painting shows the variety of shapes of pigment Seurat added to the painting.
Influenced by the works of Cézanne, African tribal art, and the art of the Iberian peninsula, Cubism—the most influential style of the early 20th century. Representing movement as a visual phenomenon, line and color connect figures and environment to create powerful moods and settings to reveal personal values and visual complexity.
3) The videos relate to the reading. I know remember reading and looking at the painting La Grande Jatte and remembering I learned about it in my high school French class. These videos go on about what is briefly touched in the text.
4) I enjoyed these videos much more in the past. There were all artists I knew and paintings I liked so I enjoyd watching them because I was more interested in them!
