ART INSTITUTE TRIP - 02/10/10
The art institute was founded in 1879 -after the 1871 Chicago fire- as museum and school. In the museum 5000 years of world art are exhibit. Last spring, the "Modern Wing" designed by Renzo Piano has been opened. It's the new home of the XX-XXI century art. Today, the Art Institute is the second largest art museum in the U.S.
With our class we visited a part of the second floor, espacially the part before 1900. We saw lot of paintings.
I appre
ciated the famous work by G. Seurat "A sunday on the Grand Jatte"-1884.1886. Without trying to explain the meaning, we can see it's influenced by impressionnist. Bud Seurat used a new style of painting placing different colors close to each other with tiny precise brush strokes : the Pointillism. The monumental size of this painting contrast with small impressionist canvas.
TEAM PRESENTATION
We chose "Turning Point of Thirsty" an oil on canvas painted in 1934 by Victor BRAUNER (Romanian 1903.1066)
He was introduced to the circle of surrealim circle by Tanguy. He is inpired by dreams mysticism and unconscious. The drawing uses just four colors, black in the blackground; ocre for the brain, and white and beig. The drawing overflows on the frame. The constrat drawing -blackground increases the thirsty.
