Artists that change and manipulate other original art?

February 8th, 2010

Hey
I was wondering whether anyone knew of any artists that take other artists work and change and manipulate it to look like something else.
Or just any artists that take a simple object, such as a flower or a face and make it look completely different.
Thanks for your help.
Erm just to make it clear i mean literally change it, like take a piece of their work and distort it, draw on it etc.
Thanks again

Marcel Duchamp painted a mustache on a reproduction of the mona lisa and it was considered brilliant.

Otherwise, pop art fits that description. People take cultural icons like Andy Warhol and the Campbells soup painting, and make art out of them.

Does anyone else think that women that are supposed to be beautiful in art history paintings are ugly?

February 8th, 2010

Like Renaissance girls portraying venus or other girls like Ginevra de’Benici. Or the naked ladies in paintings like spring by Botticelli. They are all supposed to be the most beautiful girls but I think they look manly and fat.

In the Renaissance age, women who looked thin and starved would not make good wives. They were thought of as sickly and weak. The curves and ‘fat’ that you see portrayed bespoke of a woman that was healthy and able to work to keep a house and children. It is only in the last 30 years that thin to the point of emaciation has become the standard of beauty.
Don’t get me wrong, I think that women that are healthy, and have a good muscle mass for their body are beautiful. But people that think all women should be stick figures have limited vision. Not everyone is made to be thin. I dated very thin men, and I’d rather have a man with some meat on his bones in bed. It’s not fun getting jabbed by some guy’s hipbones.

What are the differences between Impressionism and Expressionism in literature?

February 8th, 2010


I am a music major, and I know the difference between the two in music, and music and literature always run parallel, so you can take what I say and apply it directly to literature, ok?

impressionism: roughly 1890-1945. It came about in 1890 because of the serious instability caused by the Austrio-Hungary aristocracy crumbling and continued because of the Great War (WWI). Impressionism was somethat "blurry", if you will. Other adjectives: melancholy, broad, profound, thick, unstable. Composers questioned tonality. The goals went down, and arrival points (cadences etc) were often disregarded. Dissonances and modality was incorporated. As for art, thin coloring over the line, tiny dots, Monet, Manet Renoir, degas, the use of the camera, etc. Use of a lot of symbolism etc. It was the end of 19th century constraints.

Expressionism: An artistic movement of the early 20c. exposing the "ugly" inner self. Obviously, as the name suggests, very expressive. There was an emancipation of the dissonances. Previously, dissonances sounded out of place, but here tonal chords and resolutions sounded out of place. Music, and I assume literature as well, was considered best regarded as a natural, logical organism growing and expanding.

I hope this helps at least a little.

What are some of the major artworks that were first considered "Modern Art" ?

February 8th, 2010

what are some of the major works of art that were considered modern or influenced modern art?

The roots of "modern art" go all the way back to Manet (The "Dejeuner sur l’erbe" and Courbet and, in the opinion of some, even earlier; for example to Turner. In the opinion of still others, the signal event — at least in the U.S. — was the Armory Show of 1913.

And I know one distinguished scholar who firmly believes that modern art began with Picasso’s "Les Demoiselles d’Avignon" of 1907.
