    Imagine pondering into a reconstruction of reality through only the visual sense. Without tasting, smelling, touching, or hearing, it may be hard to find oneself in an alternate universe through a piece of art work, which was the artist’s intended purpose. The eyes serve a much higher purpose than to view an object, the absorptions of electromagnetic waves allows for one to endeavor on a journey and enter a world of no limitation. During the 15th century, specifically the Early Renaissance, Flemish altarpieces swept Europe with their strong attention to details. Works of altarpieces were able to encompass significant details that the audience may typically only pay a cursory glance. The size of altarpieces was its most obvious feat but also its most important. Artists, such as Jan van Eyck, Melchior Broederlam, and Robert Campin, contributed to the vast growth of the Early Renaissance by enhancing visual effects with the use of pious symbols. Jan van Eyck embodied the “rebirth” later labeled as the Renaissance by employing his method of oils at such a level that he was once credited for being the inventor of oil painting. Although van Eyck, Broederlam, and Campin each contributed to the rise of the Early Renaissance, van Eyck’s altarpiece Adoration of the Mystic Lamb epitomized the artworks produced during this time period by vividly incorporating symbols to reconstruct the teachings of Christianity.

  • Feminist Art Movement Analysis

    416 Words  | 1 Pages

    "Whilst some feminists have argued to be included in 'male stream' ideologies, many have also long argued that women are in important respects both different from and superior to men, and that the problem they face is not discrimination or capitalism but male power." (Bryson, 2003, p. 3). The feminist art movement is unclear in its description because some describe this movement as art that was simply created by women and others describe it as art with anti-male statements in mind. For the focal point of this paper, the goal will be to analyze several female artists and their works of art who influenced, and who are said to have made powerful influence both in the feminist art movement from a political and societal perspective, then and today. With that being said, we will start with the female artist Judy Chicago and a quote from her that calcifies her position as an artist. "I believe in art that is connected to real human feeling that extends itself beyond the limits of the art world to embrace all people who are striving for alternatives in an increasingly dehumanized

  • Romanticism Is Still Alive: Romantic Though, Expression ,and Action

    729 Words  | 2 Pages

    An artist and intellectual movement that originated in Europe in the late 18th century that was characterized by a heightened interest in nature, emphasis on individual expression of emotion and imagination, departure from the attitudes and forms of classicism, and rebellion against established social rules and conventions is nothing less than what is defined and termed to be Romanticism. Unlike many of the “isms” during these times, Romanticism is the only movement that was not considered to be directly political. Instead, it was more generated towards the thoughts and ideas that reason alone cannot explain everything and that there must be something more that lies within the subconscious mind. During the period of Romanticism, three things that have been carried over into today’s society that has had great impact on beliefs and modern day philosophies were the ideas of individualism, emotion over reason and how it has became an ethical response towards empiricism, and how romantics revolted against societal conformity and the rising industrialism which made a person’s individuality insignificant.

  • Confronting Images

    1639 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Confronting Images, Didi-Huberman considers disadvantages he sees in the academic approach of art history, and offers an alternative method for engaging art. His approach concentrates on that which is ‘visual’ long before coming to conclusive knowledge. Drawing support from the field of psycho analytics (Lacan, Freud, and Kant and Panofsky), Didi-Huberman argues that viewers connect with art through what he might describe as an instance of receptivity, as opposed to a linear, step-by-step analytical process. He underscores the perceptive mode of engaging the imagery of a painting or other work of art, which he argues comes before any rational ‘knowing’, thinking, or discerning. In other words, Didi-Huberman believes one’s mind ‘sees’ well before realizing and processing the object being looked at, let alone before understanding it. Well before the observer can gain any useful insights by scrutinizing and decoding what she sees, she is absorbed by the work of art in an irrational and unpredictable way. What Didi-Huberman is s...

  • Modernism And Modern Art

    1006 Words  | 3 Pages

    Avant-garde was also used to describe modern artists. It was another way of saying that as modern artists, they are always trying something new by pushing boundaries. Some avant-garde artists seek an introverted path by reviewing artistic principles and elements and there are some who -in their work, criticize both the political and social ideologies. For example, the Dada movement, Dada began in 1916 in Zuric, Switzerland and it was considered to be an artistic and literary movement. It rose as a reaction to the belief that the causes of World War I are ‘reason’ and ‘logic’. The movement itself was influenced from previous movements such as Cubism, Futurism, Constructivism and Expressionism. Dada was the opposite of what art stood for. The Dadaists rejected traditional culture and aesthetics hoping to destroy it. The Dadaist’s interests are solely in rebelling against what they saw as cultural snobbery and political support for the war. In his Dada Manifesto of 1918, Tristian Tzara is said to have invented the word Dada. It was known that Dadaism’s output ranged from performance art, to poetry, photography, sculpture, painting and collage. Some artist examples would be Hugo Ball and his readings of sound-poems and Hans Arp using abstract compositions by chance, which were expressive. Dada artists also analyzed form and movement by
