  5. Culture What is the difference between nature and culture? What does that difference imply? Fig. 1.4a Diary: December 12, 1941 by Roger Shimomura

  6. Culture is: The things that we are exposed to every day, things that shape our culture, things that are passed along from generation to generation. Fig. 1.4b 99 Cent(1999) by Andreas Gursky

  7. Artist’s Response to Nature… …has taken the form of: • Landscape painting • Land art • Sculpture • Can you think of any other mediums? Fig 1.5 - We Won’t Play Nature to Your Culture (1983), by Barbara Kruger

  8. Why Study Art History? Helps you to recognize the relationship among artists and their influences. Influences: • Historical events • Religious beliefs • Social circumstances • Political maneuvering • Idiosyncratic patronage • “Art for art’s sake” • Etc… Fig. 1.6 Joseph Beuys by Glenn Brown

  9. …And it’s at the very moment you make a botch of it that you’re yourself. Fig. 1.7 Numbers in Color by Jasper Johns (1958-1959) Fig. 1.8 I Am Not Jasper Johns byYurii Albert (1981)

  10. Why? How to develop your communication skills: 1. Think about art • How does it make you feel? • What techniques is the artist using? • What is the piece’s composition like? 2. Write about art • Write your thoughts down • Reread them 3. Speak about art • Participate in critiques

  11. The Sketchbook All art students should have a sketchbook. Why? • To help you remember. • To record feelings and thoughts for incorporation into your artwork. Fig. 1.10 Ornothoper Wings, page from notebook, Codex Atlanticus, fol. s309 verso by Leonardo da Vinci

  12. Understanding Art Pablo Picasso lived to the age of 92 and was one of the most prolific artists in history. “…an artist works of necessity,…” Fig. 1.11 Self-Portraits and Studies, 1897 - 1899 by Pablo Picasso

  13. Subject is the ‘what’ of a work of art. People Place Thing Theme Process Idea Modernism challenged the traditional definition of subject. Abstraction and Nonobjective art may appear not to have a subject, but… Subject

  14. The Subject of Abstraction and Nonobjective Art? Abstraction and nonobjective art still have a subject. The subject may be the color or the process. Fig. 1.12, Study for The Cow (1917) by Theo Van Doesburg

  15. Architecture as an example of iconography Gothic Architecture The design is a symbol of: • The church’s role in society. • The religious beliefs of the time. Many gothic churches use the Latin Cross plan, or the shape of the cross for their layout. Fig. 1.13a Aerial view of Church of St. Serin, Toulouse, France (Romanesque, c. 1080 -1120)

  16. American Architecture Government architecture resembles Greek and Roman architecture. Why? Fig. 1.13b Lincoln Memorial, Washington, DC (1914) by Henry Bacon

  17. Iconography Examples • Green dress with belly = fertility • Single candle = the presence of Christ • Dog = fidelity What do you think the following represents: • Fruit = ? • Marriage bed = ? Fig. 1.14 Giovanni Arnolfini and His Bride by Jan van Eyck

  18. Compare and Contrast… Fig. 1.15 - Jackson Pollack Fig. 1.16 Joseph Stalin Gazing Enigmatically at the Body of VI Lenin as it Lies in State in Moscow in the Style of Jackson Pollock by Michael Baldwin and Mel Ramsden
