Modern Art Information
Kandinsky and the Revolution of Modern Art
Modern Art has led the way to a far deeper and diverse exploration of Art, and Art is, and always has been, a reflection of ourselves, and our culture. Ultimately, it is, who we are. In this way, when choosing Canvas Art for our home, we instinctively want the Artwork, we choose to reflect this. Modern Art fulfils this desire, for many people. Why is this? It has a lot to do with the fact Art incorporates so many aspects of our development, as individuals, and as a society generally. Whichever style of Modern Art appeals to you, one thing remains certain. It will add style and chic to any modern home.
Modern Canvas Art adds that all important finishing touch to any newly decorated room. It can also enhance your existing decor, by adding something new and exciting to your surroundings. Modern Canvas Wall Art can turn a tedious wall into a vivacious and interesting focal point. Much more economical than replacing furniture. By simply hanging a fabulous piece of modern Canvas Art, you can change the ambience of a room, and make your environment a lot more interesting. There are many forms of Modern Art, some more diverse, and more controversial than others. For more than one hundred years, the time when the realms of Modern Art were moulded, there has been much controversy. Today, much of the Abstract Art which was once rejected, primarily, because of lack of understanding, has become widespread. Abstract Art developed through many progressions within Art. However, it is Russian born Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky (1866-1944) who was accredited as being the first Modern Abstract Artist to produce pure Abstract Art works, in 1910. Kandinsky grew up in the city of Odessa, situated in the Southern Ukraine. Unlike many of the famous Artists of this period, Kandinsky did not study Art, nor did he begin painting at an early age. In fact, Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky did not pick up an Artist brush or pencil until he was thirty years old. He studied law and economics at the University of Moscow, then went on to gain a professorship at the University of Dorpat.
When Kandinsky moved to Munich in 1896, he began to study Art at the private Art school of Anton Azbe. A school which had become one of the most famous in the capitol. Kandinsky was not the only renowned Artist to study here. Jawelensky, Jakopic and Petrovic all attended the A�be School. Jawelensky moved to the Bavarian capitol in 1896, the same year as Kandinsky, in order to study at the Azbe School. In 1909, he and other artists would join Kandinsky to form the Neue K�nstlervereinigung M�nchen, in 1909. It translated, the �New Artists Association of Munich�. The early work of Jawelensky was rich and colorful, but later, his work would search for the simplicity and spirituality found within Abstract Art. The New Artists Association would lead to founding of Der Blaue Reiter, or the Blue Rider, group. A short lived but notable forerunner, for the development of Modern Art, during the twentieth century. Kandinsky and Franz Marc was central to the formation of the �Blue Rider�. The group formed as a direct response to the refusal to exhibit an Oil Painting of Kandinsky�s, titled �The Last Judgement�. Other members of the Blue Rider group included August Macke, Albert Bloch and Lyonel Feininger. All of which are considered to be highly influential and important painters, with regards to the development of Modern Art. The color blue, for Kandinsky represented the spiritual – as discussed in his book published in 1911, �On the Spiritual in Art�.
Every Artist, within the Blue Rider Group, had an individual approach and style associated with their Abstract Art. However, what each of them shared, was the desire to express and paint a �spiritual truth�. Therefore, promoting the concepts we recognize today, as Modern Abstract Art. The principles of Modern Art, essentially Abstract Art, began with Kandinsky, and the work carried out by the Blue Rider group. Even today, their philosophies remain quintessential to most, if not all forms of Modern Art. The underlying foundation to what has evolved to be one of the most important milestones in the History of Art. To enjoy Abstract Art, one must, essentially, understand it, aesthetically and spiritually.

Modern Art Question
which is better? dallas museum of art or the modern art museum of fort worth?
which is better? dallas museum of art or the modern art museum of fort worth?
im trying to decide whcih one to visit. im going with my parents and my two little sisters; one is 5 the other is 10. im 14. which do you think is better? please list a few reasons not just the museum.
I haven’t yet made it to the Dallas museum. The Modern is on the same blocks as the Kimbell (classic art) and the Amon Carter (western art) so that you could get all three in one visit.
If this is too much culture for the 5 year old, there is the Omni theater and cowgirl museum the block south of the museums, a botanical garden (indoor and outdoor with the Japanese gardens) a few blocks south and the zoo (very nice) about a mile south.
I love modern art. I want to buy Digital Paintings by Renming Cheng who lives in Norway. How to contact him?
I know that Renming Cheng is one of the first in Europe, probably the first in the world too, to start Digital Painting. I saw his catalogue and also read an article about him. Just want to collect his paintings.

Modern Art Information
Why I Hate Modern Art
The timeline of art history
The history of art can be traced back to cave paintings of about 15000 BC.
The nature of paintings changed little until around 1450 AD, when the Renaissance brought-about naturalistic styles and formal rules of composition, such as perspective (Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, etc).
Following the Renaissance, new styles emerged every 50 to 100 years, but nothing significantly changed (e.g. the rules of perspective were still applied).
In 1874, Impressionism was born (Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, etc). The term was originally used to make fun of Claude Monet’s painting “Impression: Sunrise”, but was adopted by artists to describe their style of work. Most people are familiar with Impressionism, so I will not waste words describing the style, and move on.
At the end of the 1800s, Impressionism spawned Post Impressionism (Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, etc). While Impressionism had remained faithful to nature, Post Impressionism favoured brighter and more unnatural colours.
Next we had Abstraction, where artists (Modigliani, Picasso, etc) changed the appearance of their subject so it no longer looked realistic, by shifting the point of view, exaggeration, simplification, etc.
At the risk of over simplifying things myself – Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, and
Dada
all quickly followed, and were variations on Abstraction. It’s the Dada artists that I want to write about.
In 1916, the Dada movement was formed amidst despair and revulsion arising from the horrors of World War I. Dada art was intentionally anti-aesthetic, and sought to reject all rules and conventions. Many Dada artists considered their work to be anti-art, and to have the purpose of enraging their audiences.
The single most influential Dada artist was arguably
Marcel Duchamp
.
Conceptual Art springs from the “Fountain”
As a young boy, Duchamp aspired to become an artist, and took classes in academic drawing. He worked in the styles of the time (Post Impressionism, Cubism, etc), but failed to achieve recognition, until 1917, when his notorious ‘Fountain’ changed the face of art.
“Fountain” was a signed urinal. Duchamp claimed it to be a work of art that he had created, because; he chose it, he gave it a name, he placed it in a different context, and created a new thought for that object.
In December 2004, Duchamp’s Fountain was voted the most influential artwork of the 20th century by 500 selected British art world professionals. The Independent noted in a February 2008 article that with this single work, Duchamp invented conceptual art and ”
severed forever the traditional link between art and merit
“.
Each person has to draw his or her own conclusions, but these are mine
Duchamp was taking the “p” (urinal!).
He was an art anarchist, and his aim was to damage the art establishment. Unfortunately the art establishment evolved to embrace his prank, and allowed Duchamp to achieve his goal.
Perhaps this happened because Duchamp presented an opportunity for those similarly without skill to enter a world previously closed to them? Whatever, more than 90 years later, our art galleries, art awards, and media coverage are all full of “fountains”, and the objective of our most notorious present day “artists” still appears to be enraging their audiences. Modern art has become a very weary joke.
Reasoning that anything can be art is no different to saying that everything is everything. History has even been rewritten, and the cave paintings now often given a new conceptual twist: they were not decoration, but an early form of communication.
Detractors of modern art are often shot down. When we voice our views we are usually patronisingly told that we don’t like it because we don’t understand it. I do understand … I honestly do!
The point I am trying to make is that conceptual art is one very tiny and polarised viewpoint. It does not render all other points of view invalid.
Isn’t it time for a change soon?
