Mark chagallpaintings
Marc Chagall was a Russian-Belarusian-French artist born in 1887 in Belarus, which was then part of the Russian Empire. He is associated with early 20th century modern art movements like surrealism and expressionism. Some of his most famous works include Adam and Eve, The Fiddler, The Praying Jew, and Bouquet with Flying Lovers.
Fluxus
The fluxus movement started in the late 1960s in New York City. It was started by a group of international experimental artists and musicians and was named by composer George Maciunas. Fluxus incorporated elements of daily life into works and focused on audience participation to complete works. Their goal was to convey ideas to the public through creative acts. Fluxus is defined as an attitude rather than a movement or style and combines different media like sound, text, and image in simple, often humorous works intended to combine art and society.
Performance art
Performance art is a genre of art that uses the artist's own body as a medium. It emerged in the early 20th century from movements like Dada, Constructivism, and Futurism. Notable early performance artists included Yves Klein and Allan Kaprow, who created Happenings in the 1960s that involved audience participation. Pioneers in the 1970s like Vito Acconci, Chris Burden, and Marina Abramovic tested the boundaries between artist and viewer. Abramovic's 1974 piece Rhythm 0 had dangerous elements. Performance art gained more mainstream acceptance in the 1980s and 1990s, with works by Linda Montano and Tehching Hsieh and Karen Finley.

Characteristics of Contemporary Art
Jacinto Solivellas de Oleza is a financial executive and avid collector and supporter of contemporary art. He serves as a benefactor to galleries and is a member of the Bagherzadeh Art Foundation. Contemporary art refers to any work created by a living artist. It has changed dramatically through the 20th century and into the 21st century due to increasing globalization. Contemporary art of the 21st century may combine different elements and genres to challenge viewers and comment on current social and political issues.
Kandinsky To Constructivism
The document summarizes key artworks and movements from 1906-1937:
- Kandinsky's abstract painting "Improvisation 28" eliminated representational elements and used musical titles for inspiration.
- Kirchner's expressionist painting "Street, Dresden" used jarring colors and shapes to depict threatening figures.
- Rouault was a deeply religious artist who portrayed "wretched creatures" to indict human cruelty.
- Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" in 1907 introduced Cubism through fragmented, overlapping forms seen from multiple angles. He and Braque developed Cubism through works analyzing objects from different perspectives.
- Futurism glorified machines and modernity.
Traditional arts vs contemporary
The document compares and contrasts traditional arts versus contemporary arts. Traditional arts are part of a culture's history, skills and knowledge that are passed down through generations. They involve art forms created by hand like painting, sculpture, and printmaking. Contemporary arts are modern arts that reflect current ideas and concepts through various mediums. They aim to enact social change, while traditional arts represent ancient ideas and ways of life.

Impressionism
Impressionism was an art movement that emerged in the second half of the 19th
century among a group of Paris-based artists. The duration of the impressionist
movement itself was quite short, less than 20 years from 1872 to the mid-1880s. But
it had a tremendous impact and influence on the painting styles that followed, such as
neo-impressionism, post-impressionism, fauvism, and cubism—and even the artistic
styles and movements of today.
The name impressionism was coined from the title of a work by French painter
Claude Monet, Impression, soleil levant (in English, Impression, Sunrise).
Impression, Sunrise
Claude Monet, 1872
Oil on canvas
The term precisely captured what this group of artists sought to represent in their
works: the viewer’s momentary “impression” of an image. It was not intended to be
clear or precise, but more like a fleeting fragment of reality caught on canvas,
sometimes in mid-motion, at other times awkwardly positioned—just as it would be
in real life.

Avant garde
The term "avant-garde" originated in the 19th century in France to describe artists who pioneered new ideas and styles in their work. It referred to those who acted as the vanguard or advance party for art. Henri de Saint-Simon first used the term to describe how artists could spread new ideas through their works and exert positive influence over society. Avant-garde art is generally considered to have begun in the 1850s with Gustave Courbet's realist works and continued through successive modern art movements. While some avant-garde styles focused on innovations in form, others had strong social programs as well. The term continues to describe radical or original contemporary art that challenges existing ideas and conventions. However, avant-

Contemporary Art Essay
Modern art emerged in the late 1800s as artists broke from traditional styles and subjects to experiment. Two influential modern works were Jay DeFeo's giant painting "The Jewel" from 1958-1959 and Frantisek Kupka's "Irregular Forms: Creation." While using the same medium of oil paint on canvas, the works conveyed very different feelings. DeFeo's piece was lush and organic, while Kupka's had a sense of movement and energy. Contemporary art continued experimenting with new styles, subjects, and mediums in the 20th century while also addressing social and political issues of the time.

How Art Works: Week 2 What is Art made of?
This document provides an overview of various methods used in art history, including formal analysis, connoisseurship, new art history approaches, and the concept of the art historical canon. It discusses how these methods have developed over time from traditional to revisionist approaches. Key periods and styles of art history are addressed, from antiquity through the Renaissance, 16th-17th century developments, 18th century aesthetics, 19th century empirical and idealist views, and modern/postmodern eras. Formal analysis is emphasized as the fundamental way for art historians to describe visual elements and compositions without contextual information.
Impressionism Emerged In The Late 1800S
Impressionism emerged in the late 1800s as a style of painting that emphasized capturing an artist's immediate impression of a scene through the use of light, brushstrokes, and color separation. While controversial at first for its unfinished appearance, it grew in popularity for its depictions of modern life. Post-Impressionism developed in the 1880s as artists diverged from Impressionism's focus on light, instead emphasizing personal expression and symbolic meanings over realistic depictions. Notable Post-Impressionist works like Van Gogh's Starry Night and Cézanne's Mont Sainte Victoire explored bolder uses of color and form.

Impressionism from 1867-1886 involved painting outdoors in a direct style focused on landscapes. Cubism from 1907-1914 fragmented subjects into multiple planes. Fauvism from 1905-1954 used radical colors and distortions. Later movements discussed include Dada, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and Environmental Art.
Impressionism And Post-Impressionism Essay
Impressionism and Post-Impressionism were 19th century artistic movements that sought to break conventions and capture light, movement, and emotions through unique techniques. Impressionism used vibrant colors, defined brushstrokes, and unconventional perspectives to depict scenes. Post-Impressionism built upon these techniques while allowing for more individual styles. Both movements significantly influenced artistic expression.
