module 11 video review

1. I choose this video mainly because of Picasso, besides Banksy Picasso is my favorite artist, his work is world class, second to none. I believe Picasso is the greatest of all time and had an elegance about him that made him stand out to me. Also I have never heard for Matisse so it was a bonus to learn about him as well. The second video I choose was, the impact for cubism, this is because I really have no idea of what it is and what cubism is, I have a general idea but it was interesting to me after I looked up more background on it,

Matisse and Picasso

- painting and drawing the same but with less materials for drawing

- we’re regarded as the “kings” of art back then

- Matisse-rational painter,explains
- Picasso- didn’t care like Matisse, was just a “regular”

- innocents in their paintings, is what they recognized from each others paintings

- 1912 first collage by Picasso
- Picasso wife inspiration for art but not enjoyable but angry artwork

- Matisse at this time traveling the world
- Picasso doesn’t travel
- Inspiration is life and women for Picasso

- Matisse, painter of women, but need to be there unlike Picasso who doesn’t need them there

- Arbitrater of dreams being a model for Matisse

- Picasso kept painting over paintings and his final painting would be very thick which gave it a different look and elegance

-  Matisse “I go towards my feelings”

- His work he said was a gift for others (matisse)

- Matisse had more confidence than Picasso
- Matisse gets sick and is forced to create art with scissors and cutting out and creating art

- Picasso, paintings- sum of destruction

The impact of Cubism

- Shapes the major part of cubism
- make abstract concrete
- different subject matters changes the paintings
- Angles are very important in creating cubism artwork
- Abstract elements used
- very simple but complex at the same time, ex. patterns, shapes, angles, lines colors etc.

3. The video has more compare and contrast between the two artists. The video gives a further in depth background and information of Matisse and Picasso “rivalry”. For the second video, it was more challenging to comprehend, the book I believe gave a better understand rather than the video. It was more about the paintings of people of cubism rather than cubism itself i believe.

4. In the video they describe each painting and the elements they portray, they also give the background inspiration behind the things the painters did and why they painted certain paintings. Also the travel that the painters do is a major inspiration behind what they do. Also the videos describe the time of painter each artist is and how they developed sometimes into different types of painters, ex. anguish, angry, saddened, joyful etc. This is all based on their life experiences and encounters.
