ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM – In Holy Sites 1996-2000
Padgett was searching for Universal forms of design through New York style Abstract Expressionist drawing where he created wilfully, but without imposing any ideas of style, form or composition on the drawing process. The hope was that natural, universal forms of design would arise.
designed by Fritz Höger and built between 1922 and 1924 it is a prime example of Brick Expressionism in architecture
Guggenheim Museum Venice Italy.
After tragically losing her father on the Titanic , heiress Peggy Guggenheim befriended Dadaists, dodged Nazis and changed art history at her palatial home on the Grand Canal. Peggy's Palazzo Venier dei Leoni is a showcase for surrealism, futurism and abstract expressionism by some 200 breakthrough modern artists, including Peggy’s ex-husband Max Ernst and Jackson Pollock (among her many rumoured lovers).
Peggy collected according to her own convictions rather than for prestige or style, so her collection includes inspired folk art and lesser-known artists alongside Kandinsky, Picasso, Man Ray, Rothko, Mondrian, Joseph Cornell and DalÃ.
The core mission of the museum is to present the personal collection of Peggy Guggenheim. The collection holds major works of Cubism, Futurism, Metaphysical painting, European abstraction, avant-garde sculpture, Surrealism, and American Abstract Expressionism, by some of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
A college project. Combine these eight things into one illustration:
1. Albert Einstein
2. Pink flamingoes
3. Fire
4. Water
5. Neon
6. Crayons
7. A window
8. A piece of a map
So here we have Albert Einstein, playing "My heart weeps for you," on his violin, at his diner, Al's (neon sign in window), in New Jersey (map), while customers sit at plastic crayon-legged tables and chairs, enjoyig the music and a kitschy water fountain with plastic pink flamingoes, and gazing at the fireflies blinking in the parking lot outside.
This image is another example of "panning". (See Day 353). The shutter speed was set at 1/20th second and the camera was given a small upward motion as the image was captured. The trick is to get the right amount of motion in the camera. It is one more project resulting from a recent workshop that I attended.
A fine example of German Expressionism, with a hint of Fauvism, by August Macke - an artist who lost his life in the early days of World War I.
