i want to write about an artist in Ch.26 on page 931, Antoni Gaudi. He created the most interesting building I have ever seen. At the first glence it seems to resembel an ant-hill, or a termite-teretory. However, reading about the history of Barcelona it is not far off to see a huge Sand-castle. The dream of every 5year-old boy to ride through the iron gates of the just finished castle at the beach with the warm ocean water rushing over the little feet. Or the princess just rescued by a horseman with a crown brought to the pink room with a huge bed. For the Spanish people a dream came true when Antoni created and built his castle in the middle of the city. I liked this piece of art and I like making up stories to pictures I see.
American Architecture. Little did anyone know in 1871 that Chicago's devastating Great Fire would launch modern architecture and make American architects for the first time the most advaced in the world. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright worked for Sullivan from 1888 until 1893. HIs sensitivity and strengths, however, could not have been more different. While Sullivan specialized in commercial buldings, Wright's forte was domestic architecture, although his public buildings are brilliant. Wright's architecture, like Sullivan's, is based on nature, and his repuration was established with what are known as his Prairie Houses, so-called because thier strong horizontal sweep echoes the planarity of the Midwest landscape where the home were built.
In the presentation of architecture, he spoke about the classical orders of Greek architecture. These were the doric, ionic and corinthian. The doric order originated on the mainland and western Greece. It is the simplest of the orders, characterized by short, faceted, heavy columns with plain, round capitals, and no base. The Ionic order came from eastern Greece. It is distinguished by slender, fluted pillars with a large base and two opposed volutes (also called scrolls) in the echinus of the capital. The Corinthian order is the most ornate of the Greek orders, characterized by a slender fluted column having an ornate capital decorated with two rows of acanthus leaves and four scrolls. It is commonly regarded as the most elegant of the five orders. I really like the way the ionic order looks because it is nicely detail and elegant but at the same tim it is simple.
Cezanne is the same generation as the Impressionists, developing his Post-Impressionism in tandem with the rise of the style. He was born into a wealthy but socially isolated family in France, he rejected law and went to Paris to study art in 1861. As years went on, he changed his style of painting a little. He started to paint abstract paintings. In the book we can see on page 908 Mont Sainte-Victoire Seen from Bibemus Quarry. I've always like abstract paintings because it allows you to put a meaning to it even though the author has there own. Yes, there are some things that can clearly be noted but others that you may not be able to tell. In reference thats when you go back to the authors interpretation of his painting.
I want to talk about Georges Seurat who was influenced by Puvis.His goal was to show a poetic vision of middle and working class people.One of his most important paintings was Le Chahut which represents the finale of a cancan-like dance that is a real scene that Seurat saw in a nightclub.He used a cropped,skewered,and conflated composition that gives the painting a freeze style of that current event.
Architecture has developed so much over time. Funtion has transformed into art. Take Frank Lloyed Wright; He tends to extend his roofs over the edge to create straight lines even though they are sloped. Again, funtion turned into art. A roof which is necessary, becomes artistic and he uniquely turns it into a balcony for an outside terrace or the floor for another levels porch. Brillant!
Henry Tanner of Ch. 26 is one of my very favorite artists. His sculpture "The thinker" is one of the most recognizable art works of all time. it is a great piece of art. The flowing line so fhte body of the nude along with the jagged cuts in the rock, make the sculpture a great. Th face of the man in the sculpture is longing something yet noone really knows what and this makes its much more interesting.
Donatello was one of the most talented and well-known sculptors of his time. His statue of St. Mark which was paid for by the linen guild was so lifelike that it seemed like he could step out at any moment. It displayed the motion of the fabric very convincingly, which was the aim of the guild.
I enjoyed Frank Llyod Wright. I find his houses very simple with clean lines and wonderful spacial design. His design are elegant yet they have a peaceful feel to them. I would love to live in one of his houses.
Antonio Gaudi,brought a sense of tradition as well as individualism to the architectural front in the early 1900's.His Casa Mila Apartments, in Barcelona, are unlike anything that had been seen in many years. He combined mediterranean architecture, with Spanish baroque to create a distinct style all his own.
