I choose
the video The Mystical North: Spanish Art from the 19th Century to the Present,
because I speak Spanish and right know I’m enroll in Spanish classes related to
this theme. This video are very helpful for me in both classes. Northern Spain
has produced some of the world’s most celebrated artists, including Picasso,
Miró, Dalí and Goya, who foreshadowed modern painting with his dark political
consciousness. Goya is known as the father of modern art. In this video the
talk about Antoni Gaudi is work was inspired by God's Natural World. Gaudi was
the Inventor of the art of the future. Other artist present in this video was Picasso's
brothel paintings are "soaked in memories of his Catholic past."
Salvador Dali was a surrealist painter. Francisco Franco create a repression of
artistic expression. Santiago Calatrava create a blend of Spain's past and future.
The second
video The Impact of Cubism Influenced by the works of Cézanne, African tribal
art, and the art of the Iberian Peninsula, Cubism the most influential style of
the early 20th century offered European artists unfamiliar, nonclassical ways
to represent form and space. The video study Juan Gris’ The Breakfast Table
(1915), from the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
Marcel Duchamp’s Sad Young Man on a Train (1911), from the Peggy
Guggenheim Collection, Venice Robert Delaunay’s Champ de Mars (1911), from The
Art Institute of Chicago, Sonia Delaunay’s Electric Prisms (1914), from the
Centre Pompidou, Paris Kazimir Malevich’s An Englishman in Moscow (1913-14),
from the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam Umberto Boccioni’s Farewells (1911), from
the Museum of Modern Art, New York. I choose this video because I found fascinating
the cubism. With the video I have more opportunity of learn more about the
cubism.
Both video as
always are related to the readings. The videos explore more the themes present
in the chapters. They help me to depth my understanding. I like the videos
because the places presented transport me to the moment.
