SO, LET'S GET TO BASIC EXAMPLES OF CUBISM AND EXPRESSIONISM. ONCE YOU'VE SEEN WHAT THEY ARE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO READ THE TITLE AND ENJOY AUTHENTIC MODERN ART.
YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING FOOLED BY MEANINGLESS FAKE MODERN ART. NOW YOU'LL KNOW IF THE ARTIST WENT THROUGH THE CREATIVE PROCESS OF ABSTRACTION OR MERELY MADE SOMETHING WHICH LOOKS LIKE THEY DID!
A BASIC EXAMPLE OF CUBISM THE SPHERE SHOWN WITH A SQUARE BLACK BACKGROUND IS SURROUNDED BY VARIOUS PIECES OF AN IDENTICAL SPHERE. SOME PIECES HAVE BEEN CUT OUT USING GEOMETRY OTHERS ARE BROKEN PIECES. I CAN CALL THIS WORK "TWO CYBER SPHERES".
THREE EXAMPLES OF EXPRESSIONISM
STARTING WITH A GREEN TRIANGLE AS MY SIMPLE DRAWING TO DESCRIBE A PINE TREE
I AM SHOWING YOU THREE STAGES OF EXPRESSIONISTIC ABSTRACTION.DEPICTED IN EACH SQUARE ARE:
A PINE TREE, A PINE TREE WITH SNOW, A PINE TREE AT SUNSET AND A PINE TREE AT NIGHT. I CAN CALL THIS WORK "FOUR PINES #1 #2 #3"
TO CONCLUDE I HAVE CHOSEN FOUR PAINTINGS BY PIET MONDRIAN (FRENCH) OF THE SAME APPLE TREE. BEGINNING IN 1911 WITH A PIECE OF EARLY CUBISM, WHICH IS MUCH LIKE IMPRESSIONISM, THESE WORKS DEMONSTRATE HIS PROCESS OF ABSTRACTION WHICH ENDS WITH EXPRESSIONISM. (THE WORKS ARE SHOWN IN BLACK AND WHITE)
NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME UNDERSTANDING OF THE BASICS OF MODERN ART. LOOKING AND READING TITLES IS WHERE YOU SHOULD ALWAYS START WHEN ENCOUNTERING MODERN ART. PLEASE REMEMBER, ARTISTS WANT "YOU" TO ENJOY AND UNDERSTAND HOW THEY HAVE GONE BEYOND THE CAMERA TO BRING YOU A FULLER MEANING AND A RICHER VISUAL EXPERIENCE.
BY THE WAY, YOU ARE LISTENING TO JAZZ WHICH IS THE MUSICAL FORM OF CUBISM.
The next room on the tour of The Hall of Art Knowledge will explain "Synchronism" defined by Marc Rubin as a new Fine Art category.
