ESSAY QUESTION IMAGE 1
improvisation 28
Kandinsky
expressionism
Relates to nature and landscape. intense color line and shape, mostly primary shapes. Intended to be seen as if you are hearing a symphony, responding instinctively and spontaneously.
The contours of shapes remain incomplete, as if open, and line and color function independently of one another.
He saw his art as a part of a wider political program in opposition to materialism of western society. focussing on accurate rendering of physical world is a materialistic quest.Art should not depend on physical reality |

ESsAY IMAGE #2
Autumn Rhythm
Pollock
Abstract
thin paint applied to blank canvas. Action painting. Nonrepresentational.lays flat on the floor instead of an easel.The artist also used sticks, trowels, knives—in short, anything but the traditional painter's implements—to build up dense, lyrical compositions.There's no central point of focus.Spontaneity was a critical element.Though Pollock claimed he had full control of the paint.
It has a design that is characterized by rhythm, variety, and unity.The colors and shades used (black, white, brown, and turquoise) are all found in nature. Inspired by jazz, as Pollock was a big fan.
Work shows no trace of cubism, lacks hierarchical arrangement, every area of piece is equally energized. shows clearly its process of making (like Kandinsky). New level of physical involvement from artist. He and Kandinsky both were among the most important break through artists of modern art. |

| Theory of Simultaneous Contrast |
|
Definition
may happen when opposing colors are placed in close proximity to each other. Text may appear to vibrate, or cast a shadow. Eye strain and fatigue will result if a viewer focuses on a document displaying similar properties for an extended time period.
Some color combinations, such as red text on a blue background, cause illusions when positioned together. |

From Kandinsky’s essay Concerning the Spiritual in Art, 1912:
“Color directly influences the soul. Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another purposively, to cause vibrations in the soul.” |

From the Futurist Manifesto, 1909:
“So, with faces smeared in good waste from the factories – a plaster of metal slag , useless sweat and celestial soot – bruised arms bandaged, but undaunted, we declare our primary intentions to all living men of the earth: |
|
Definition
1. We intend to glorify the love of danger, the custom of energy, the strength of daring.
2. The essential elements of our poetry will be courage, audacity and revolt.
3. We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched with a new form of beauty, the beauty of speed. A race car adorned with great pipes like serpents with explosive breath… a roaring motorcar, which looks as though running on shrapnel is more beautiful than the Nike of Samothrace.” |

there are some parallels. Kandinsky is heading toward an "overall" kind painting, one where forground/background no longer exist, where there there is not literal allusion to things in nature, where the paint literally has an "all over" democratic quality. But, still, in Improvisation 28, Kandinsky remains rooted in the natural world. A definite landscape is implied, with a horizon, hills, buildings, etc. He has made an abstracted landscape.
Pollock's painting, while perhaps conveying a feeling of Autumn in various ways, is a completely abstract image, with a deliberate lack of any illusionistic devices; the paint is just the paint -- it's not attempting to create illusion of form. Though you could argue that the raw canvas is "behind" the paint, still the painting is not about foreground and background. |
