Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter and important contributor to the De Stijl art movement. He evolved a non-representational style called Neo-Plasticism consisting of primary colors and vertical and horizontal black lines on a white ground. Mondrian's early work was representational landscapes but he was influenced by Cubism and abstraction. In Paris from 1911-1914, his work became more geometric and he began using only primary colors, black, white, and rectangles with straight lines. Mondrian further developed his Neo-Plasticist style consisting of grids in Paris from 1919-1938 before moving to London and New York where he created brightly colored abstract compositions until his death in 1944.
Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter in the 20th century known for introducing abstract art. He began painting realistic scenes but later limited his palette to primary colors, black, white, and gray.

Forts were important for fur traders as they provided places to get supplies, sell furs, and gain information about territory and trapping areas. Canoes called Montreal canoes used by fur traders could hold 8-16 voyageurs and were 30-40 feet long. These canoes were made from birch bark sealed with spruce gum. To move between bodies of water, trappers used portages, ranging from short to long distances like the 8 mile Grand Portage. The fur trade helped establish the early economic system in North America and provided capital for those involved like voyageurs and mountain men.

School violence is a serious problem that stems from bullying, issues at home, and feelings of being lonely or estranged. To prevent future incidents, schools should profile at-risk students by assessing what they say, their grievances, friends' knowledge of access to weapons, and signs of depression. Overall statistics show the U.S. has the highest rate of school violence deaths in the world, though other countries also experience incidents. Preventing future violence requires involvement from administrators, teachers, security measures, and open communication between the school and students.

Victor Vasarely was a Hungarian-born artist considered the "father" of Op Art. He went through different artistic styles before developing his geometric and precise Op Art works. His Op Art pieces became very popular in commercial forms like posters and fabrics. Vasarely used the profits from his work to design and build his own museum. He was internationally recognized as one of the most important 20th century artists and the leader of the Op Art movement, influencing many modern artists with his innovative use of color and optical illusions.
The document provides details about two sculptures housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York: The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu and the Statue of Gudea. It compares and contrasts the two works, considering how their intended purposes are reflected in their appearances.

A Profile of Mark Rothko - Abstract Artist89parenttailor
Mark Rothko was an abstract artist known for his use of color and unique lighting requirements for displaying his works. He was born in Russia in 1903 and immigrated to the United States as a child to escape anti-Semitic violence. Rothko studied at Yale University before dropping out and moving to New York to study art. In the 1930s and 1940s, he helped form abstract expressionist groups and began moving towards more abstract, non-representational works influenced by European styles. His 1945 painting "Slow Swirl at Edge of Sea" showed his shift towards pure abstraction, using color and form to convey emotion. Rothko is renowned for his innovative "multiform" paintings of the 1940s-1950s that used blocks
Expressionism was an artistic movement that originated in Germany in the early 20th century. It focused on distorting reality and exaggerating emotions to express inner experiences. Major expressionist groups included Die Brücke, Der Blaue Reiter, and Die Neue Sachlichkeit. Pioneering expressionist artists like Edvard Munch, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and Emil Nolde used vivid colors, dynamic forms, and exaggeration to convey emotion and subjective experience over realistic representation. Expressionism had a significant influence on painting, but also theater, literature, dance, and film during this period.
Today, abstract painting is regarded as a key style. Celebrated for its avant-garde aesthetic and pioneered by many painters, the abstract genre represents a pivotal moment in modernism.
Expressionism emerged in Germany around 1910 as a reaction against Impressionism. It focused on emotive and interpretive art through distortion and exaggeration to convey emotional experiences. Major expressionist groups included Die Brücke, Der Blaue Reiter, and Die Neue Sachlichkeit. Expressionist art used vivid colors, dynamic forms, and exaggeration to depict intense emotions and subjective perspectives rather than realistic representations. Pioneering expressionist artists included Edvard Munch, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, George Grosz, and Max Beckmann.
Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York City in the 1940s-1950s as an American art movement focused on spontaneous, emotional, and abstract qualities rather than objective representation. Key figures included Jackson Pollock, whose action painting involved dripping and splattering paint, as well as Mark Rothko, whose color field paintings used large areas of color without edges. The movement emphasized personal expression and the act of painting over recognizable imagery, influencing later art styles through its rejection of realism.
The document provides background information on Abstract Expressionism, also known as the New York School. It summarizes key events and influences that led to the development of this post-World War II art movement in New York City in the 1940s-1960s. It profiles several influential Abstract Expressionist artists like Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and Robert Motherwell and describes their signature styles like action painting and color field painting.

Piero Della Francesca was an Italian painter from the 15th century Renaissance period known for his use of geometry and perspective in paintings. He contributed frescoes that explored these techniques. Della Francesca was influenced by early Renaissance artists in Florence and worked with Domenico Veneziano. In his later years, he wrote a treatise on perspective in painting. Oskar Schlemmer was a 20th century German artist, designer and choreographer associated with the Bauhaus school. He incorporated geometric shapes into figurative paintings and sculptures and was influenced by his work choreographing dances. Schlemmer believed art should not strive for perfection but maintain a natural quality.
Kasimir Malevich was a Russian abstract painter who developed Suprematism in the early 20th century, an entirely nonobjective style using only geometric shapes like rectangles and squares. Joan Miró was a Spanish surrealist painter known for his dreamlike works incorporating memory, fantasy, and the irrational. Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter who pioneered abstract art, reducing his works to primary colors and horizontal and vertical black lines in pursuit of exposing the underlying principles of all appearances.
The document summarizes the styles and backgrounds of several abstract artists including Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Paul Klee, Franz Kline, and Anselm Kiefer. It provides information on when and where the artists lived and worked, as well as describing some of their most famous abstract paintings and artistic styles which often incorporated geometric shapes, primary colors, and spiritual or symbolic themes.

Robert Rauschenberg was an American painter and graphic artist whose early works anticipated pop art. Some key influences on his style included his mother's dressmaking from scraps, his painting instructor Josef Albers, and composers John Cage and Merce Cunningham who encouraged the use of found objects and chance in art. Rauschenberg is known for combining diverse materials and images in his artworks, rejecting the seriousness of abstract expressionism.
Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist who is among the early pioneers of abstract art. He studied law and economics but later turned to painting, studying in Munich. Kandinsky was influenced by synesthesia and Claude Monet's
This document profiles over 30 British artists from the 20th century, providing brief biographical information on each. It notes where they studied, lived, and exhibited, as well as influences on their work and collections where their art can be found. Many of the artists had connections to Cornwall and were part of the St Ives art movement, finding inspiration in the local landscapes and seascapes. London also features prominently as many studied and showed their work there.
Mark Rothko was a Russian-born American painter and a founding member of the abstract expressionist movement. He is known for his large-scale paintings consisting of colored rectangles or squares arranged in horizontal tiers on a solid colored background. In the 1940s, Rothko began experimenting with mythological themes and different techniques that led to his signature format of floating color fields. By the 1950s, his paintings typically featured only a few large rectangles of color to achieve a meditative, transcendent experience for the viewer. Rothko sought to express emotional and spiritual themes through his abstract works and did not want to explain his paintings, believing interpretations should come from the viewer's own experience.
The document discusses several influential artists from the Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art movements, including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, and Andy Warhol. It describes their biographies and artistic styles, noting how Pollock and Rothko painted in an abstract, gestural style to express emotion, while Johns and Warhol incorporated popular imagery and objects into their Pop Art works. The styles of these artists reflected broader trends away from realism and toward using art to express inner experiences and critique commercial culture.
