Does anyone here NOT enjoy modern paintings?

Posted by admin - Saturday, August 28th, 2010

The only kind I normally like is the kind with splashes/streaks of color that looks thrown at the canvas.
I like paintings by Pre-Raphaelites or those who are influenced by them such as artists like J.W. Waterhouse.

They feel comforting to me.
Believe me, I’ve seen A LOT of modern paintings! But in order for me to enjoy art, it has to move me in some way.

I cannot understand modern art at all. I look at Mona Lisa and see beaty and artist’s craftsmanship. But I look at Malevich’s "Cherniy Kvadrat" and see black square nothing more. It is a riddle why we consider modern art an art at all.

do you know the name of the American modern paintings in the opening credits of desperate housewives?

Posted by admin - Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

I think its a country scene, farmers or something like that, but I do not know the artist and the name of the painting

The names of all the paintings (not all modern) at the opening of Desperate Housewives is given at http://www.artcyclopedia.com/feature-2005-05.html
Out of the titles of paintings given here: American Gothic by Grant Wood – fits most closely to your description.

How can you distinguish modern paintings from classical paintings?

Posted by admin - Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

I’m doing a school projects and i have to find the differences in painting art different from classical painting. What are some visual differences between the two? Also, could you post some links that could have an answer?

First of all people tend to clasify classical and modern art in a very simple way. Classical art could be divided by periods: like medieval, Renassaince, Baroque, Rococò, etc. Modern art could be divided by different schools: impressionism, post impressionism, pointillism, fauvism, cubism, pop, op, etc.etc.
The main difference is that in whay everybody calls Classical art there are drawing, harmony, color applied in the proper places, composition, a good representation of people or landscapes, things that are mostly lacking in modern ar.
