Artwork

Question 5:

The works of Cezanne and Monet were part of the art style, which was famous for rejecting the conservative ideologies. This is the reason why it was considered to be a ‘new way of looking’. The primary traits of such art also include the constant experimentations and abstract illustrations on the processes that can be used to deliver the idea. The techniques used in the modernist style are often viewed as cutting-edge, especially in reference to the classic representors of the style. Therefore, it is possible to use their innovations and examples to influence the directions of the art that would appear in the future.
Question 6:

All the objects that are present in the painting are displayed in a manner that can be described as impressionistic. For instance, using the display of nature in the alone atmosphere was rare before the creation of this work. The grim colors and unique shapes that were chosen for the painting play a role in the creation of a stronger context, which is a representation of Van Gogh’s desperation during his final years. The presence of crows is usually a representation of menacing doom. In this situation, they could be interpreted as vultures since they were awaiting for a negative event to occur and flying close to the wheat field. The wheat field, in this case, could be interpreted to be a metaphorical representation of the state of mind that Van Gogh had. The main reason why this painting was remembered historically was that the use of complexed metaphors was one of its primary points.
Question 7:

Cubism uses the concept of dividing images into smaller and simpler objects to come up with a new representation of the object. The object will include details that were impossible to perceive in classical representations.
The painting by Picasso was based on the Spanish Civil war, and the bombing of Guernica in particular. Although the painting was initially not accepted by the audience, it was the first painting that promoted the modernist art, and served as a crucial step to the beginning of its development.

Question 8:

Abstract expressionism is important since it relies on the spontaneous feelings that the artist has. This is the reason why it is considered to be a pure art because the artist does not have to think through consequences and details, which is part of material-mindedness.
The main difficulty that is faced by the audience as they observe Abstract Expressionism is that the paintings lack conservative traits that are common for many paintings. Usually, the pictures do not have any distinct objects since the ideas behind the picture are delivered through the feelings of the author. The audience may be unfamiliar with the feelings that the painter had.
The main theme that pop art copied from Abstract Expresionism is the rebellious nature that challenges the audience’s mind and is against the conservative ideologies. Additionally, both of them use the industrialization theme as the main theme for their art work.

 

Question 9:

Not all types of art are easy for people to understand, especially when they are abstract creations. Additionally, in cases where the artwork includes a political concept, the artwork may cause a lot of conflict in the society, which may result in oppositions. However, it is not appropriate for the government to be able to control the spreading of art, and forbid any painting that they determine to be unfitting to the society. Artists should be given the opportunity to express themselves even when other people do not support their ideas.

Question 10:

It is difficult to describe contemporary American Art since people possess conservative ideas about art and that there are performances that should be recognized as art. However, it is easier for people to make their own decisions on whether something can be defined as art or not because the internet has allowed people to access many types of artworks.
The functions of art in America include allowing people to express themselves and to enable people to share their perceptions of the world, and their personal stories. However, art is sometimes used by the government to spread propaganda and achieve a certain influence over the people.
To determine good and bad artwork in America, artwork is often examined by both professional critics and government representatives. However, since the internet allows people to observe any types of artwork, people are currently able to observe artwork and come up with their own conclusions about them.
The value of art in America is estimated by the professional critics and exhibition owners. If the artist is well-known, then the value of his or her work is increased.
