This document provides an overview of a thesis submitted for a Master of Fine Arts degree exploring relationships between painting and dance. It discusses four categories of these relationships: 1) Dances where dancers physically create a painting on canvas through their movements, exemplified by works of Shen Wei and Yves Klein; 2) Simultaneous creation of dance and painting, like works by Terry Rosenberg where a dancer improvises while the painter creates an image on canvas; 3) Works where painting inspires or drives the creative vision for a dance, seen in collaborations of Molissa Fenley/Roy Fowler and Wayne McGregor/Josef Albers; 4) Pieces presenting a whole body experience through simultaneous adaptations of painting and dance
The document provides information about assessment objectives for a fine art course focusing on covert and obscured works. The four assessment objectives cover developing ideas through investigations informed by context, experimenting with materials and techniques, documenting ideas and insights, and presenting a meaningful personal response. The document also provides definitions of "covert" and "obscured" and suggests using the sheet to generate ideas and respond to artworks.
The document discusses several key art terms:
- Aesthetics refers to philosophy of art and sensory appreciation of objects, while artistic judgement refers to recognition and criticism of artworks.
- Abstraction uses forms derived from the real world rather than imitating recognizable subjects. It coincided with advances in science and changes in urban life.
- The avant-garde pushes boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or status quo, primarily in the cultural realm. Many modern and postmodern artists have aligned with this movement.
A still life is a drawing or painting of objects arranged in a composition. Traditionally, the objects depicted had symbolic meanings representing concepts like life, death, beauty, and decay. Still life paintings use techniques like shading, value scales, and layering of foreground, mid-ground and background elements to create a sense of depth, volume and mass. In the 1800s, artists like Manet and Cezanne enhanced the mood and symbolism of still life works through loose brushwork, textures and manipulated light. Their impressionistic styles influenced later artists to portray the world in a more creative, gestural manner.
Painting has a long history dating back over 30,000 years. There are several painting mediums discussed in the document. Encaustic paint uses pigment mixed with wax and resin that is applied while heated and hardens upon cooling. Fresco involves applying pigments mixed with water to wet lime plaster which then acts as a binder. Tempera uses an emulsion of an aqueous liquid mixed with an oil, fat, wax or resin as the vehicle. Specific ancient and modern works are discussed to illustrate the techniques of encaustic and fresco.
The document discusses the history and key characteristics of installation art. It began as a reaction against the modernist "white cube" gallery space which demanded formal purity and separation of art from everyday life. Installation art aims to be more immersive and interactive for viewers. It uses a variety of materials and invites narrative interpretations. Viewers experience multiple perspectives rather than focusing on individual art objects, making the experience more democratic. Major influences came from Dada, Surrealism, Happenings, Performance, Land Art and Minimalism.
1. The document provides a brief overview of 50 major art movements throughout history, from prehistoric cave paintings to the Harlem Renaissance.
2. The movements are described in terms of their key artistic styles and techniques, subject matters, and notable artists that exemplified each style.
3. The purpose and social/cultural contexts of the art are also summarized for many movements, such as using art to teach Buddhist spiritual concepts or depict everyday life during the Dutch Golden Age.
This document provides information on several artists:
- Francis Bacon was an Irish-born British painter known for his abstracted figures isolated in cages against flat backgrounds. Later he mainly painted portrait heads of friends.
- Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter known for eroticized paintings focusing on the female body.
- Picasso was a highly influential 20th century Spanish painter and sculptor who co-founded Cubism.
- Several other artists mentioned include Eric Zener, Jason deCaires Taylor, Jacques-Louis David, Thomas Eakins, Fabian Perez, and George Bellows.

Presence two visions of landscape catalogue2b_advertising
The document summarizes an art exhibition featuring the works of Claire Primrose and Ros Auld. It discusses their different artistic mediums and styles, but shared focus on interpreting the Australian landscape. Primrose is a painter inspired by her memories and experiences of places like the Snowy Mountains. Her works combine visual elements and poetic expressions of landscape. Auld is a ceramist who creates vessels that metaphorically represent places through their forms and decorations. The exhibition highlights both their individual talents and examples of collaborative works combining Primrose's paintings with Auld's ceramic markings.
Postimpressionism developed in the late 19th century as artists reacted against Impressionism by focusing more on structure, expression, and personal styles rather than just capturing light. Key characteristics included a return to the importance of drawing, capturing expression as well as light, and using color and form to define space. Major postimpressionist artists included Paul Cezanne, whose works emphasized geometry and volume; Vincent van Gogh, whose expressive and emotionally charged works with thick brushstrokes influenced expressionism; and Paul Gauguin, who simplified compositions and used strong colors influenced by Symbolism and the exoticism of Tahiti.
The document provides information about experimental photography techniques including surrealism, photoshop techniques, tactile experiments on prints, Ger van Elk's surrealist work, adding paint and surface texture to photographs, tilt shift, overlaying images, montage, double/multiple exposure, scale and size manipulation, photographic sculpture, and color manipulation. It discusses the work of various artists who utilize experimental techniques like HDR, light painting, photoshop cloning, and constructed 3D landscapes.
This presentation covers artwork from the Surrealism, De Stijl/Neo-Plasticism, Abstract Expressionism, Op Art, Pop Art, and Photo Realism movements. Works by Salvador Dali, Jackson Pollock, Josef Albers, Claes Oldenburg, Chuck Close, and Richard Nelson are featured.

Howard Hodgkin is a British painter known for his abstract expressionist style. His paintings often depict memories of personal experiences and events through abstracted shapes and colors. One such work is "Tears, Idle Tears", a small print from 2001 that depicts a memory through gestural blue and black marks resembling swirling water. Hodgkin's style transforms specific memories into vivid yet abstracted expressions through experimental printing techniques and layering of color.
The document provides an overview of the development of modern art in the 20th century, focusing on abstract expressionism and its major figures like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. It then discusses the emergence of pop art in the 1960s with artists like Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg incorporating everyday objects and imagery. The text also references developments in optical art, photo-realism, and conceptual art, questioning whether art that moves completely away from visual/tactile experiences can still be considered visual art.

This document provides an overview of various art movements and styles from Cubism to contemporary digital and technology-based arts. It describes key characteristics and influential artists for each movement, including Cubism pioneers Picasso and Braque, Dadaist Marcel Duchamp, Surrealists Salvador Dali and Giorgio De Chirico, Abstract Expressionists Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, Pop artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, Op artist Victor Vasarely, and technology-based art forms like digital photography, video games, and computer-generated imagery. It also discusses the influence of these movements on Philippine artists like Vicente Manansala, Cesar Legaspi, and Jose
Modernism in art emerged in response to modernity and sought to depict subjective experience rather than objective reality. Impressionism rejected academic conventions to capture fleeting moments from the artist's perspective. Cubism further developed this subjective approach through fracturing and analyzing forms from multiple viewpoints. These movements emphasized individual experience and challenged the notion of a single objective truth, reflecting philosophy's shift from unity to fragmentation in understanding the world.
This document provides an overview of the emergence and development of Impressionism and how it influenced later art movements. It discusses how Impressionism marked a break from classical forms through its emphasis on subjectivity and the individual experience of the artist. Impressionists sought to depict transient effects of light and movement rather than objective reality. This shift to subjectivity had profound impacts by challenging notions of objectivity and transforming how reality and art were understood. Impressionism influenced Post-Impressionism, Cubism, and other movements by further emphasizing the subjective and reflexive nature of artistic production.
Sonia Naqvi researched five artists for her project focusing on buildings and architecture.
1) Rachel Whiteread focused on sculptures of rooms, stairs, and demolished housing estates, capturing destruction and disappearance.
2) Mark Rothko painted hazy rectangles to envelop viewers in atmospheric color.
3) M.C. Escher depicted buildings and architecture from different perspectives in abstract woodcuts and lithographs.
4) Franz Ackermann created colorful, collage-like abstract cityscapes with surreal elements.
5) Cy Twombly made minimal abstract works using lines, curves, colors and text to evoke themes like the seasons.
Alfred Sisley's 1888 painting "Moret, Seen from the Loing - An Afternoon in May" depicts the small French town of Moret seen from across the Loing River on an afternoon in May. The painting uses impressionist techniques like loose brushstrokes and atmospheric perspective to capture the illusion of space and convey the transient nature of light and color. It shows the town and surrounding landscape in earth tones with a large, light blue sky taking up much of the canvas. The painting immortalizes a moment in time in the small, otherwise overlooked town of Moret.
Post-Impressionism developed in reaction to Impressionism's focus on accurately depicting the natural world through light and color. Post-Impressionists aimed to restore subjectivity and shape to art by creating abstract representations of reality that emphasized how art differs from nature. Key Post-Impressionist artists included Van Gogh, who blended Divisionism with Impressionism and expressed emotion through vibrant colors and brushstrokes; Gauguin, whose primitivist style synthesized feeling with form; and Cézanne, whose still lifes and landscapes treated nature as geometric shapes and influenced the development of Cubism.

This document summarizes the artist's process in developing a series of paintings about lifeguards in the former Kowloon Walled City. The artist was inspired by sketchbook techniques of Paul Ryan and Wolf Stubbe to create experimental drawings exploring concepts like "slackness" and "tenseness". These led the artist to focus on the Walled City as a subject, seeing it as a "dreamland" free from social restraints. The artist plans to paint scenes of lifeguards pursuing their desires without oversight, reflecting Michel Foucault's concept of the "carceral city". The goal is to portray the Walled City's atmosphere of emancipation and self-sufficiency outside of social norms.

For centuries, artists have used various mediums to capture and convey the essence of their emotions, thoughts, and perceptions. In this exploration of art, we will delve deep into the world of creativity, examining its history, significance, and the diverse forms it takes in the modern age.
The document discusses several abstract artists and their philosophies of abstractionism. It explains that abstract artists like Kandinsky, Mondrian, and O'Keeffe shifted away from representational art to focus on expressing emotions and revealing spiritual truths through arrangements of color, line, and form. The document also notes that abstractionism developed from earlier movements like Impressionism and Cubism and that abstract artists believed their work was a process, not an end goal, to uncover deeper understandings of the universe.

It explains that abstract artists like Kandinsky, Mondrian, and O'Keeffe shifted away from representing objects to focusing on lines, colors, and expressing emotions. Abstract art aims to make mental connections and reveal spiritual truths through non-representational forms and the balance of artistic elements like color and line. The document traces how these artists were influenced by earlier movements like Impressionism and Cubism but sought to further develop abstraction's goals of revealing universal order.

The INCANDESCENT exhibit at the Swell gallery featured works by three artists exploring the relationship between internal experiences and external spaces through different mediums. Ella Faktorovich's glass sculptures confront viewers with both beauty and pain, transforming the physical space. Hui Meng Wang's neon-colored photographs of San Francisco depict an imaginary "dreamland" isolating the artist mentally from the physical world. Chrisina Walley's installation uses light, lines and plastic cuboids to imply moving mental and physical relationships between individuals and the spaces they inhabit. Though different mediums, the works convey each artist's incandescence internally and externally.

DALLAS MUSEUM OF ART CRITICAL / GALLERY REVIEW
“Painting is a state of being….Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.”
Jackson Pollock (1912-56)
I chose to write Part 1 of the Museum Critical Review about “Portrait and a Dream” by Jackson
Pollock (1953). The contemporary artwork is very large, but not uncommon for Pollock, measuring 58
½ x 134 ¾ inches with oil and enamel on canvas as the medium. The artwork was observed by myself
at the Dallas Museum of Art on October 25, 2014 in the Marguerite and Robert Hoffman Galleries on
the 1st Floor. The image on the right side of the canvas has been interpreted as Jackson Pollock's
self-portrait, perhaps partially obscured by some kind of mask. A similar face appeared in numerous
drawings Pollock created over the years, which many critics have suggested relates to his
experiences with Jungian analysis, a branch of psychiatry that regards some symbols as universally
present in the human subconscious. On the left, an image of a sketchily painted reclining female figure
may embody the "dream" of the painting's title. (1)

In Portrait and a Dream, Pollock experiments with the figure yet retained the freedom of line and
composition he perfected in his abstract work. He said part of this "dream" denoted "the dark side
of the moon". Pollock’s painting is a diptych on a solid white ground. The left-hand side is an
abstract black and white drip painting; the right-hand is a figural self-portrait, attacked with color,
and carefully drawn. This may relate to the historical association of symbolic visual imagery with
Jungian thematic. Analytical psychology, or Jungian psychology, emphasizes the primary importance
of the individual psyche and the personal quest for wholeness. (2) To me, this is very reminiscent of
the Classicism Greek art with it’s since of perfection in the human body. Within the elements of art,
I can visually observe shape, form, value, lines and curves, color, space relating to the background and
foreground, and if you view it closely you can see the artwork has texture from the thick paint on
the canvas. Referring to the principles of art, I observed movement, harmony in the all over lines
style of painting, variety in the use of color, symmetrical balance between the 2 figures on the
canvas, and repetition.
“Me, Sommer Taylor, Being Jackson Pollock”
Like hundreds of artists since the early Renaissance, and probably from even before then, the true
meaning of Jackson Pollock’s paintings is not made apparent for the average art lover because, like
difficult poetry and even Christ’s teachings, it is hidden from the masses behind the colorful and.
This document is a catalogue for an exhibition by artist Marjan Krošl titled "Concept Phoenix" held at the Celje Gallery of Contemporary Art in June/July 2009. It includes essays by Alenka Domjan, Marjan Krošl, and Mojca Puncer on Krošl's artistic process and theory of "provolution" in contemporary art. Krošl develops his theories through painting and sees the process of creating paintings as analogous to cultivating complex perception. He believes that in today's globalized world, art can only be effective through cooperation across disciplines.

It describes her evolution from unconventional "constructed paintings" in graduate school to more traditional wall-mounted rectangular paintings. Several solo exhibitions are highlighted that explored themes like architecture, dreams, and film through variations on the rectangle format. The document also mentions a recent survey exhibition titled "Geometric Progressions" that curated Kerwin's work from the past 15 years and included a video interview.
Lenny Lyons Bruno's paintings invite viewers to engage in an intimate dialogue and storytelling session. By straddling the line between painting and sculpture, her works use narrative images and common objects from her impoverished childhood to convey memories. Though heavily symbolic, her paintings reveal intricate textures through layered gesso and paint. While the works begin with stories, they develop complex meanings over time by pairing personal images with devalued objects to contemplate life in poverty. Lyons Bruno transforms mundane found objects into artistic symbols of her history through her reliance on the artistic lineage of elevating ordinary things through their inherent meanings and associations.

Soo Sunny Park and Spencer Topel created an interactive site-specific installation called "Capturing Resonance" for the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum. The installation transformed a narrow gallery space connecting two floors into a glittering sculpture made of chain link and iridescent plexiglass that responded to light, sound, and motion. Visitors walking through would trigger sensors activating blended sound compositions that animated the shifting sculpture. By fusing sculpture and music, light and sound, the installation aimed to immerse visitors in an experience of perceptual play through their movement in the space.
The document summarizes selected artworks by Venezuelan artist Venuz White from 2004-2006. It describes how her abstract paintings explore the biological and chemical nature of color, inviting viewers on a voyage into the microscopic inner worlds and cellular forms depicted in intricate detail on her canvases. Specific paintings are also listed with their titles, materials, dimensions and dates.
The document discusses Cubist artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque and their attempts to depict multiple perspectives and a more realistic "truth" in one moment through their works. It focuses on how Cubism built upon past artistic movements by further pushing conventions through manipulating perspectives and composition. The main idea behind Cubism was finding a more real "truth" by depicting various perspectives in a single moment.
This document provides information about two exhibitions at the MAD Museum of Art & Design in Singapore from June 6 to August 31, 2016. The first exhibition, "Imaginary Landscapes: Paintings by Lee Jae Sam", features the works of Korean artist Lee Jae Sam and his meditative landscape paintings created using charcoal. The second exhibition, "Interactions: Paintings by Lakshmi Mohanbabu", presents the works of Singaporean artist Lakshmi Mohanbabu exploring themes of duality, balance and cultural interactions through colorful mandala-inspired abstract paintings. The document also includes statements from the artists about their works and process as well as background information on the exhibitions and artists.
The document discusses the interpretation and perception of artworks by Jackson Pollock and Wassily Kandinsky. It provides background on both artists, noting that Pollock used an "action painting" technique involving pouring paint onto canvases, while Kandinsky was an abstractionist who incorporated geometric shapes and colors in his works. The document puts forth the topic question of whether interpretation and perception bring about differences in Pollock and Kandinsky's works, given their unique styles, and analyzes some of the key differences in how they used lines, styles, and color in their paintings.

· Abstract Expressionism
. Also known as the New York School. The first major American avant-garde movement, Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York City in the 1940s. The artists produced abstract paintings that expressed their state of mind and that they hoped would strike emotional chords in viewers. The movement developed along two lines: gestural abstraction and chromatic abstraction.
· Action painting
. Also called gestural abstraction. The kind of Abstract Expressionism practiced by Jackson Pollock, in which the emphasis was on the creation process, the artist's gesture in making art. Pollock poured liquid paint in linear webs on his canvases, which he laid out on the floor, thereby physically surrounding himself in the painting during its creation.
· Assemblage
. An artwork constructed from already existing objects.
· Chromatic abstraction
. A kind of Abstract Expressionism that focused on the emotional resonance of color, as exemplified by the work of Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko.
· Color field painting
. A variant of Post-Painterly Abstraction in which artists sought to reduce painting to its physical essence by pouring diluted paint onto unprimed canvas, allowing these pigments to soak into the fabric, as exemplified by the work of Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis.
· Conceptual art
. An American avant-garde art movement of the 1960s that asserted that the "artfulness" of art lay in the artist's idea rather than its final expression.
· Deconstruction
. An analytical strategy developed in the late 20th century according to which all cultural "constructs" (art, architecture, and literature) are "texts." People can read these texts in a variety of ways, but they cannot arrive at fixed or uniform meanings. Any interpretation can be valid, and readings differ from time to time, place to place, and person to person. For those employing this approach, deconstruction means destabilizing established meanings and interpretations while encouraging subjectivity and individual differences.
· Earthworks
. An American art form that emerged in the 1960s. Often using the land itself as their material, Environmental artists construct monuments of great scale and minimal form. Permanent or impermanent, these works transform some section of the environment, calling attention both to the land itself and to the hand of the artist. Sometimes referred to as earthworks.
· Environmental art
. An American art form that emerged in the 1960s. Often using the land itself as their material, Environmental artists construct monuments of great scale and minimal form. Permanent or imperma ...
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

4. Anne Russinof
“My work combines an expressionistic love of gesture with an appreciation of
structure and grid. I am originally from Chicago, where the city’s architectural
heroes cast their various influences, along with Lake Michigan’s liquid light and
color. The challenge in my work is to create an (albeit idiosyncratic) order while
using a spontaneous wet-on-wet painting process. That process being subject
to rapid change, my paintings really celebrate a kind of watery flux. These
wavering grids of color allow light to come through or depths underneath to be
reflected on the surface. I marvel at the endless capacity of a flat picture plane
to suggest layers of space and time.”
Anne is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and received an
MFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. She has been a resident at the Yaddo
and Millay Art Colonies and is currently represented by BlankSpace in NY.

6. Paul Behnke
“From the time I began making non-objective work I found it necessary or
natural to work within self- imposed parameters. For years I worked only in
blacks and whites using one form and the grid to build my compositions. After
a while I began to chafe at those restrictions and more elements were slowly
introduced. For me, this is the crux of good painting- the powerful contrast of
the need for boundaries with the need to go beyond them. But not only to go
beyond the self imposed rules in increments---to need the parameters, and yet
want, at the same time, to exceed them by miles and miles. The tension cre-
ated around a need to include everything and nothing is what keeps the act of
painting interesting and relevant for me.”
Paul studied painting at Memphis College of Art and Design, authors “Structure
and Imagery” contemporary art blog, and has a solo show forthcoming at
Kathryn Markel Fine Art in NY.

“This group of paintings is offered as a series of melodies, a poetics of the un-
conveyed. Each piece a thought, an invocation to what D.H. Lawrence called
“an engagement with the ancient science,” which comes as much from the
heart and gut as from the head. Engagements running through the body and
brain, each having its own separate existence, each combining with the others
to make up a complete state of mind.”
Craig received his MFA from the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers Uni-
versity. He writes for the Brooklyn Rail and is represented by Janet Kurnatowski
in NY, where he had a recent solo exhibition.
