Art 101 Painting Styles

Painting Styles When we face at art and diametrical art work some of us have trouble bump intoing more than what meets the eye. I myself tend to get caught up in how I feel rather than giving both thought at all(a) to the history and details of the importation in time when the erect was created. As I have read more about different periods of art I see that on that point is much to be learned about the art that is beyond the surface of the flip-flop. In the painting The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries is a piece that is categorized under neoclassical art. Neoclassical art is deeply enriched by Greek and Roman influences.The faecal matter began in the mid 1700s it was known for its portrayal of subject matter in a more serious light. The painting of Napoleon shows us how regal he is and how morally just he was. This passel also be seen in the formal aspects of the piece as he is obviously the center of the painting, making him the center of attention and by th e fact that the light is focused on him, casting what appears to be a glow. The majority of the neoclassical art contained clean backgrounds and architectural details from Greece and Rome. Impressionism was developed in France during the late nineteenth and early 20th centuries.These pieces of art were painted as if someone just took a quick look at the subject of the painting. The paintings usually were in bold colors and did not have a great deal of detail. Paintings in this style were usually outdoor scenes like landscapes. The pictures were painted to look like they were shimmering. Luncheon of the boating Party by Renoir is a perfect example of Impressionism and is quite well-favoured. It gives me the impression of light heartedness and fun. Abstract Expressionism is a dejection that became popular is the post-World War II era in the late 1940s it is a movement of art that is highly turned on(p)ly charged.It can be said that it is an approach that involves complete freedom from all traditional aesthetic and social values and favors spontaneous, free personal expression. The work is usually loud in color and large in scale. It appears to be free in form with lines that move freely within the piece. Even though it looks very sloppy and messy there is not a single misunderstanding or accident on these pieces. There are intentional strokes. As we see in the piece Autumn Rhythm it looks like there is just paint thrown all over the cruise at random but there is much feeling behind this piece. In this piece there are symbolic elements of nature in the rientation and color schemes that it portrays even if we do not immediately see it. It is a very emotional piece as well as a very emotional movement in art. Out of all the movements I personally like this one the best. In conclusion, these movements are all important to art, both individually and collectively. They tell stories of the time period that they belong to and about the flock of these time stor ies that go deeper than any history book or personal re solicitation of that time. I guess that this is why it is so important to look at these pieces and see what lies beneath the surface or the canvas.They are all different in so many ways and the artists that belong to these movements could not be any more different either but they are all important to the story of our history. This all creates the beautiful diverse quilt that is American art. References Sayre, H. M. (2009). A world of art (6th ed. ).
