Jackson Pollock's Style
In what ways did the style of Jackson Pollock differ than that of Willem de Kooning? Jackson Pollock’s style had no subjects and just about motions. His style was very personal. Although de Kooning’s style was abstract, too, unlike Pollock, his painting had subjects which were mainly women. Furthermore, he still considered Cubist space and compositions for his paintings while Pollock totally abandoned these.

-What sorts of subjects did Roy Lichtenstein use for his paintings, and why were these subjects so effective? Roy Lichtenstein used emotional men or women portraits like the sad woman in Drowning Girl. These subjects were effective because although the paintings themselves were objective and unemotional, Lichtenstein used these emotional

    Another one of my favourite pieces is ‘Girl with ribbon’ I find it portrays a strong sense of emotion to viewers, like many of his other pieces it only tells a snippet of the story and the rest is left to the viewers imagination. This is the aspect that I love the most, each of his pictures are overly dramatic with sometimes a speech bubble to give you an idea of the story behind the painting, it really makes the viewer think about the piece and let their imagination run wild and decipher meanings for themselves. This is what I am planning on achieving through my…

    In the 1960s an art movement known as Pop Art had begun. Pop art was meant to be simple to aid the audience in creating their own interpretations of the pieces. Two of the leading artists were Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Warhol was a fan of women, unlike Warhol, Lichtenstein was inspired by culture; their paintings are both pieces of Pop Art but they are different because Warhol’s paintings are mostly of women and Lichtenstein’s are of famous cartoon characters. The artists used different techniques to catch their viewers attention. Both pieces of art displayed different messages to the viewer. Although both artists used Pop art, they had several differences in their artwork such as one being a real public figure while the other is a…

    Seurat and van Gogh

    • 1702 Words

    There are numerous distinctions between Seurat and van Gogh, starting with their backgrounds and personal lives. Georges-Pierre Seurat was born in 1859 in Paris to a wealthy legal officer and a Paris woman. He started to show interest in drawing when he was just a kid, and had the chance to study art with two notable artists, Justin Lequien and Henri Lehmann, at his young ages. After spending a year in military service, Seurat, whose art view had diverged from his mentors then, decided to quit studying and move to the island of La Grande Jatte, which served as his biggest, defining movement in his career. Although his studies were not completed, Seurat was always considered an early bloomer, a bright and creative student who was expected to have a prominent art career in the future, in contrary to van Gogh who showed little potential in his early years and only pursued a career in art at the his late twenties. Not as fortunate as Seurat who was born and raised in Paris - the city of art, Vincent Willem van Gogh was born in 1853 in Groot-Zundert, a small village in Netherlands, in a middle-class family. In his early years, van Gogh taught himself to…

    Mural is a two dimensional painting using oil and casein on canvas. Pollock used Curvilinear line throughout his painting. There’s a very nice visual rhythm and repetition to it that’s pleasing to the eye, and the complimentary colors don’t take over the paintings main focus. Making Mural’s elements, seem in proportion. Although, this piece is very thought provoking I don’t see symbolic meaning in this Pollock.…

    A. Y. Jackson is the one of the greatest painters in Canadian History. He painted the landscape of Canada on the canvas with new style. His new style was crude and eliminated the details of objects. With his group members he traveled all over the country sketching out Canadian landscape and endeavored to depict the nature as it is. It was innovative but not appealed to the public because people assumed that anything European is automatically superior to anything Canadian and Impressionism was commonly known to public thus conservative people didn¡¯t accept his innovative paintings which filled up with thick and short brushstrokes and brown dominated colors. But Jackson and the group members kept their mindset. They insisted European painting style is not suitable to depict the Canadian nature as rough and muddy rather than shiny and gold color fulfilled atmosphere with cow on the pasture field.…
