Re: Whats your favourite Style of Art?

i'm not too familiar with the artists of art nouveau. i just love the style. it's something that was translated into everyday commercial use as well. there are some great decoration and jewellery pieces out there. not to mention houses that were modelled after the style.

Re: Whats your favourite Style of Art?

ok i went to look for jewellery, and i stumbeled upon Klimt :smiley:

I think this is the also the time when they were drawing all those harem girls. those are just beautiful beautiful pieces. unfortunately i have yet to come across an artist for a harem girl painting :frowning: maybe i’m not looking carefully

Re: Whats your favourite Style of Art?

haha they did have a flair for going all out in buildings. i think that’s why the next movement after art nouveau was more tamed. but i mean one of the reasons surrealism and art nouvea came at this time because the artists wanted to break free from the classical art revival and romanticism that was occuring a few years before.

Re: Whats your favourite Style of Art?

Absolutely! and how important is this to break away from the norm.. in Art i think it is most crucial.. which is why i admire duchamp too for his 'Urinal..'

And lets not forget Monet' took the same path.. Picasso and list goes on and on..

Re: Whats your favourite Style of Art?

oh yeah. but at the same time it’s ironic that wat was the norm that artists try to break free from was the radical idea in it’s own time. and it’s such a cool cycle though. and they keep coming with new ideas.

i could be wrong, but i think this is an art nouveu style pin

Re: Whats your favourite Style of Art?

Very decorative to say the least.. u kno now i am seeing links in our styles on jewlery .. the whole mughal style and this..

Who knows they might have been inspired by rich mughal decorative patterns..

Re: Whats your favourite Style of Art?

i think it’s very possible. and you can’t forget the fact that they were able to make their jewellery all pretty pretty because of the gems they mined from the subcontinent :phati:

Re: Whats your favourite Style of Art?

Impressionism interests me. This style is unique because to me, it (in a way) shows a true form of Art. That is to show what you see through yours eyes, not how the object really is. It is to draw/paint what you feel and put your perception on a blank canvas.

Re: Whats your favourite Style of Art?

well i wouldnt really mix pop art with retro art but ya pop art is interesting too! infact a classmate of mine did her thesis on andy warhol's concept and chose late noor jehan as her subject and made a rickshaw out of it. It was really interesting....art on wheels :)

Re: Whats your favourite Style of Art?

this is sooooooooo true nemo... if you think about it.. it is such a crazy and thought provoking thing that things are not really how we see them.. or they take the shape of how our eyes see them.. but they are quite different infact.. so this is like reality is there but there are a 100 different views of just 1 reality..

Impressionism to me..knits dream and life in one..

Re: Whats your favourite Style of Art?

I know. Very true. That's the good thing about Art. Everyone sees it through different eyes and everyone would be correct. There is 1 piece of art and it may have 10 different interpretations to it. And all of them might be correct. This example would sum it up pretty good:

A teacher drew a picture of horse. He then chose 3 students and called them up. He asked 1 student to close his eyes and randomly point anywhere on the picture. The student put his finger on Horse's tail. He then called next student and told him to do the same. That student put his finger on Horse's leg. He finally called the 3rd student and told him to do the same. The 3rd student closed his eyes and he put his finger on horse's head.

All 3 of them pointed at different things but all of them were correct (because all 3 of those parts were still part of horse). Same can be the case for this. One person may see something different from the other but both of them could be right.
