Improvisation 28 By Wassily Kandinsky

In the passage by Igor Stravinsky, he uses not only comparison and contrast, but also language to convey his point of view about the conductors of the time and their extreme egotism. Stravinsky believes that conductors exploit the music for their own personal gain, so rather, he looks on them in a negative light.

Kandinsky’s was one of the first abstract artists in his era. His paintings and designs were different and unique and have stuck over the time. His Black Spot I painting is very

Kandinsky’s use of line, shape, and color really put the painting to a different level of abstraction. The bright colors, even when shadowed, show an extensive amount of expression and power. Improvisation 28 (second version) is full of a mixture of primary, secondary, warm, and cool colors. Kandinsky uses reds, oranges, yellows, blues, and greens in his painting; causing some brown and black to form from the mixture of colors. The bright, warm colors make the painting stand out and catch the eye at first glance. On the other hand, the darker, cool colors balance the painting out and add a variety of colors throughout Kandinsky’s painting.

On White II depicts a mesh of bold black forms, blocks of color with little shading or blending, and a mixture of geometric and irregular shapes. Nearly as far from Impressionism as one could become, this painting is supposed to reference the “opportunities of life” and how death can in so many and various ways, take life away (Learnodo-newtonic.com). “The more abstract is form, the more clear and direct is its appeal,” are words not only written in the 1914 book by Kandinsky referenced throughout my paper, but also shown clearly here in On White II (Concerning the Spiritual in Art, location 619). More defined are the forms used in this painting than previous works, which supports the ideas held by Kandinsky about

Art is a way that humans use to express their creative, skill, and imagination. For most artists using the world and all other unimaginable things are how they come up with their own work. One example, is Daryl Thetford, who is an amazing artist that makes art out of all kinds of photographs. One photograph is the search for realty, which is of a man sanding on a clock while holding a remote control pointed on a bulletin board full all kinds of photographs. The photograph colors are all light colors, many shapes, and many lines are used in the photograph. The search for realty is a vertical panting that expresses Thetford overview of the world, and how in many things in hid panting we see many evidence of his world view. The way Thetford views

The energy of the painting is overwhelming. It is an intricate web of oil colors with black enamel. The piece is mainly comprised of black and white, but as one tries to look into the painting subtle red-pink and light blue can be found. The many layers of overlapping webs of black and white seem to be a sort of veil for whatever lies underneath. Making it challenging to interpret and look into the piece. No place for the eye to settle and rest. There are no figures hidden within the drips. No hint of a representational image. At first there is a sense or reckless abandon and a wild application of paint. After closer examining it is clear Pollock’s strokes are controlled, swift, assured, almost mechanical. You can trace the movements of his arm as the drips of paint fell from sticks and paint brushes. Ranging from puddles where paint gathered and then thinned into wisps of

I was confused a little after seeing the painting Improvisation 31. First when I saw the painting I was unable to understand anything about the painting. There are multiple elements in the painting which reflects different images. The title "Improvisations" refers to a series of works that Kandinsky painted between 1909 and 1913 which was, according to the artist, "a largely unconscious, spontaneous expression of inner character, non-material nature." Although the amorphous shapes and colorful washes of paint in Improvisation 31 (Sea Battle) may at first appear entirely abstract, they form a number of recognizable images the artist invented to represent his often biblical subject matter.

Picasso was trying to portray his work in his style. Picasso was showing new, modern, or a new era of art. Since Picasso was one of 58 to also paint this, he had to make it different. Picasso paints with shapes unlike everyone else, meaning he changed it up and made it varying. The two paintings are similar in many ways.

The sizes of these canvases allow viewers to immerse into the painting and the color with no distractions from the outside world. The simplicity of no distinct lines between the orangey red and the brown created a serene feeling. The red draws the viewers’ eye straight to it because it stands out against the darkness of the rest of the painting. Each color has its own rectangle and own size that the imperfectness of the piece calms the viewer down. The visible brushstrokes add a texture to the piece that it shows that the painting itself is more than three rectangles on a

Without a doubt, the “all-at –onceness” of the painting is created by the color. Kandinsky used such a wide range of color techniques that when I close my eyes upon viewing the painting, the image is still present. The colors are bright primary and secondary colors mixed with more earthy hues. The two overlapping circles on the bottom left are made evident by the low value of the green mixing with the saturated red to create almost a black. The contrast created by the black and yellow square touching is eye-catching. The gradation in the upper left square is evident by the continuous changes from the swirl surrounding the circle. It changes from yellow to green, then to blue and back to yellow! Can you feel the excitement in my description? This is what the painting makes me feel while participating. Despite the sectioned off circles and squares, the painting demonstrates unity. That is, the painting forms togetherness, despite contrasts of details and regions.

He loved the look and feel of strong lines and at first the lines were illustrative but years later in his paintings they became much more expressive. He worked with his gesture a lot and having little money, he experimented thoroughly using fairly inexpensive supplies. “Investigating new stylistic possibilities in small drawings rather than paintings was cheap and satisfied

The painter makes the effort to apply geometric shapes, but does not quite make it a sincere effort. For example, the three haystacks seem like they are oval, but their bases are either swallowed into the ground or covered with hills or vegetation—hence we are unable to see their full shapes. All of the other shapes are also asymmetrical. Due to the form of the painting not having a definite shape, it would not be three-dimensional, but free-flowing. The expression of emotion in German expressionist painting provides a visual experience that is distinct from traditional painting art. In the minds of expressionists, painting is not a reproduction of nature or even a reflection of the beauty of life. The strong emotion of the painter makes it impossible for him to believe in artistic harmony in the natural point of view. In his view, it is not about the composition of the rules, but the expression of the work of the carrier and tools through a purely metaphysical abstract process. This results in a deformation of the shape of this existence, in the sense of distance between deformation and harmony, to express an anxious

Wassily who is Russian has painted this painting in Munich, Germany. In this painting there is a colorful swirl of activity of reds, pails blue, blacks, and yellows. The “First Abstract Watercolor” painting had largely the same impact in art as the eastern European art community as Picasso’s cubist “Les Damoiselles d e Avignon did in Paris around almost the same time. The difference between the two paintings were the sizes and the media that would account for its difference in the impact of the artists at that time period. Wassily was born in 1866 Moscow well educated and had upper class parents of mixed ethnic origins. His father had encouraged his unique and precocious gift of the arts and had enrolled him into private drawing classes.

Kieslowski’s masterpiece is a trilogy known as Three Colors, named after the stripes of the French flag. According to Kieslowski himself all of the films center on individuals who sense something that is not articulated in dialogue. This is telling of a director who is constantly trying to reconcile a new Pan-European identity in a world that had yet to develop a language to articulate it. The color Blue (1993) is about a woman who secretly writes the music that made her husband a famous composer. Her husband and daughter die in a car crash at the beginning of the film. Julie, the main character, is thrown into depression, and spends the rest of the film trying to rebuild what it means to be here in this new world of chaos.

The “point and line to plane” (Kandinsky 1979:6) is the painting element, such as the letters that make up the word, different combinations will have different effects. As Kandinsky (1979:12) has demonstrated, that point, line and plane is the basic building material of the artwork itself, and that in every different art the elements of art are certainly different. However, it is necessary to first distinguish the basic elements from the other elements, no artwork does not have these artistic elements. Therefore, the common feature between Wassily Kandinsky’s paintings and Guan Zhong Wu’s paintings are point, line
