modern art


i like, know shit about it now. it feels good to know things. i like gaining knowledge. i dont understand when people dont apply themselves and try to do the same. 

fauvism- matisse. bold colors, thick lines.

dada- a joke on art itsself, undermines the notion that art has meaning. man ray.

suprematism- transcendental; doesnt use images or objects to evoke feeling. raw emotions blah blah blah.

constructivism- building sculptures out of pieces

cubism- picasso. synthetic cubism= collages. 
realism- paintings about boring, everyday life. courbet or whoever said that painters should only paint from their time period and only their immediate surroundings

romanticism- either depicted nightmarish images (saturn eatings sons/ fransisco goya) or soft colors, outdoor images

futurism- futurists liked industry, were like socialists. many died in the war because they supported it and joined the military.


surrealism- connections to freud, mind/body/conscience divisions, dreams were depicted. dali, obviously.

post impressionism = van gogh

see ethan, i can encode shit into my long term memory! yay.
