Art Movements: Medieval and Early Renaissance Christmas Art
Monday, December 21, 2020
This post is a bit different from the other Art Movement posts I have done, but I think it is very fitting. As it is the Holiday Season, I thought it would be good to do some kind of recognition of this through and art historical lens. Take the time to look through this slideshow to see the progression of Christmas art.
Art History Terms to Know: Brushstroke
Thursday, December 10, 2020
While somewhat a self-explanatory term, brushstroke is an important factor in identifying and analyzing art.
The meaning of brushstroke in art goes beyond just the simple meaning of the word. Take a close look into this Van Gogh work. Zoom into this high resolution image. Not only does it enhance the rendering of the the image, but it makes a statement. Prominent brushstrokes are very common in Post-Impressionism.
In this work, the brushstrokes are not supposed to be a statement nor are they supposed to be noticed. The brushstroke is just a vehicle for the realism that Hopper chooses to use.
