Module 11 Video Review

I choose these two videos honestly because of their titles. To me they both seemed the most interesting, and I knew little to nothing about either of them.

Expressionism

-Munch's uncompromising portrayal of emotion caused deep offense to the bourgeois mentality but won him acclaim. He often translated his work into other media like lithography.
-Animals are the hallmark of 20th century painter Franz Mar. He painted "The Tiger" in 1912
-Between 1913 and 1915 Ernst Ludwig Kirchner painted a series of works featuring "tarts" on the streets of a busy city. They appear to be hurried and seem to turn the viewer into a voyeur
-Like a lot of contemporary German painting the technique is often brutally rough

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
-Gris reveals his independence using spiritual elements and the imagination
-Boccioni is inspired by the cinema screen to paint a fractured vision of modern city life synthesized in many moods
-Delaunay explores the inner laws of light and color in an abstract approach. In "circular forms" he uses color as the subject of the painting to guide the spectator's perception of the picture as a whole


The videos go more in depth about the people that were actually related to those times and forms of work. The films can be very dry, but depending on the video some can pull you back in with an interesting fact or piece of information that wasn't known.
