Renaissance
Impressionism-Modern
The Industrial Revolution changed the way of life in America as more technological and manufacturing advancements continued to develop. Major changes in the economy were seen more and more with the incredible outrage in influx. With societal changes, new outcoming artists started to show up with styles such as Surrealism and Impressionism. Destroying the idea as to which painting had to follow a specific set of rules for things to be art, artists such as Salvador Dali created these incredible and unique pieces of art that we can enjoy in the present. Using more simplistic and relaxed strokes in paintings this style brought a brand new look to art, with lighter colors and happy scenic moments. Impressionism was created and popularized by Claude Monet. The name impressionist was originally used for those who did not follow the rules of art at the time, as a derogatory nickname. The impressionists wanted to show women and people in more day-to-day life, capturing the moment in a loose and relatable way, and not only laying on a bed naked in some type of motionless pose. From this then came the abstract era, in which artists completely broke down the barriers of what art can be, and the man who brought it to light was Jackson Pollock. Upcoming on the 20th-century Fauvism brought another new look to paintings, in my opinion giving it a more pastel feel with a thick oily texture. Van Gogh was one of the most well-known post-impressionist artists, bringing more emotion to painting instead of just trying to have an expression from people. Genre painting brings the Impressionists way of showing a candid and realistic moment in someone's life and the Renaissance style is very smooth and photorealistic paintings. Surrealism began in the early 1920s and started to truly create a new definition of what art is and how creativity and perspective a=can be used in different ways to express many new things.
Discussion Update
The picture has a lot of stand-out words, especially with the dramatic contrast of the black and white. It is also seen in the picture the prices of the things that are being displayed in the picture you can categorize the picture into an older setting because of the low prices. Along with the fact that the woman is not clearly seen maybe giving a nod to the fact that at the time women were not important people in society and were hidden, just like how the woman is not fully seen, mean while the man is presented straight on and is clearly "spotlighted" in the photograph.
