    The term modern art sounds like it means art that is popular now, but the style actually originated over 150 years ago and includes artists like Picasso, Matisse, and Gauguin. What’s more ironic is that this movement they pioneered - considered revolutionary at the time - was inspired largely by objects of traditional and ancient design. Felipe Galindo details ancient influences on modern art.

      ***** You said the right words. They were poorly understood. People just don't get the reasons in modern/contemporary art, and start yelling "trash!" and "shit!". Maybe a little more study about and a little less common sense would help you to understand it.

    I love how everyone os critisizing modern art comparing it with the Renaissance art. These were two different Eras and the conception of art was sightly different.
    Picasso alrready knew how to paint breathtaking realistic pictures at the age of 15. He just tought it was a nonsense since the photography could do it in a few seconds. Art had to be redefined.

    One of the greatest neo-expressionistic, extraordinary and prolific artist (and my favorite too) is the AFRICAN-American painter JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT. He began as a graffitti street artist und his works sell for two digit million dollars now. He died regrettably with only 28 y of heroin overdose in New York City 1988. (And regrettably too: I dont have the millions to buy one)

    Sad to see so many upvoted comments (presumably subscribers) ignorant towards modern art on a channel promoting education.
    Perceived talent aside, art is an expression of humanity. It represents mankind of a certain time. Or it represents nothing at all and the interpretation is left for the viewer/ listener. The beauty, in fact, is the act of exploring something different and unique.

    Renaissance and Modern (and Postmodern) art aren't to be compared, at least not in terms of aesthetics, (which I will point out are personal) skill, or intention. Renaissance art is about the detail the perfection of form and the realistic representation. Modern art is about looking pears what can be done better, how we can change how art is done, while still owning a lot to traditional methods. Postmodern art is about incredibly expressive works, emotional and abstract. It is also about challenging you, the audience, and by you commenting on how a near blank canvas is art is exactly what the artist wants. They want to be thought of as ridiculous, and scrutinized, because that is the purpose of their art.

      @Yotrymp 8 лет назад +1

      +Ali Silcox Look at the PragerU video on modern art. It's horribly cynical and ignorant of the craftsmanship and ingenuity of contemporary art as a whole.
      EDIT: I mean recent art creations when I say "contemporary." It seems any single word describing art that's been created in the last 40 years until now (modern, contemporary, even postmodern, which has its own interesting qualities) has been rubbed with the feces of ignorant false judgements.

    • @alisilcox6036
      @alisilcox6036 8 лет назад

      +Tympanista Quite. I have to catch myself in correcting people who say modern art is too effortless and floaty, about silly ideas and involving things like blank canvases and bricks. Those are facets of postmodern art, not modern art - but even recent contemporary art including much postmodern stuff has value. While not postmodern, as far as my poorly trained eye can tell; making as it does no comment on modernism, this piece is interesting: Marco Chiandetti is trying to display a series of aviaries with birdseed sculptures of various objects in a gallery in Australia. The aviaries are to be full of Indian myna birds- considered a pest. This has sparked a debate over is he can display birds as art, and the bureaucracy around how they will be treated, despite the fact that the same government authority exterminates myna birds. This is great, because his piece is a commentary on the migrant crisis, and what is happening has cool parallels.
      To my mind his art is the whole situation.

    • @phirion6341
      @phirion6341 8 лет назад +1

      Well, I like all kinds of Art, but I guess your opinion may be that art has to be a portrayal or deception of something. Modern art (which is actually quite old) doesnt tell you thatyou SHOULD SEE something, it can have you guessing, or letting subconsciousness form a picture, or just wants you to feel, think or recognize nothing. At all. Many Artist want to make their art as medium, or deceptionof a expression, be a impression, and the results van have many different (or not) results (or... not).But maybe you just like art a lot of work and skill has been put and is recognizable, which is nothing bad at all.

  • @amrendrapandey8952
    @amrendrapandey8952 8 лет назад

    Very interesting. But I believe, the radical difference between modern art and the classical art is because of the differences in their subjects. Previously it was largely an imitation but slowly artists used the objects of their paintings and sculptures as symbols, the objects became a material not the subject of their art. If you remove modern art from the history, today, the role of painting can be completely replaced by photography without any loss of knowledge or expression.

      Yep, and the cultures getting plagiarized got their culture by plagiarizing other cultures in the past. Cultures are constantly diffusing, changing, and adopting bits of each other.
      It just happens faster today, since cultures can communicate so much faster, and there's so much international travel. It's the same process that's been going on for thousands of years, just faster.

    "Appropriated from people THEY considered primative" or appropriated from cultures YOU consider primitive. Nobody ever accuses a primitive or equally advanced society of cultural appropriation because the idea of cultural appropriation needs the appropriated property to come from a LESSER civilization, society, or people. It is a bad idea to organize individuals into monolithic cultures races and civilizations in your mind. When you bring it to its logical conclusion it becomes prejudice but for now it is just incoherent.

    • @shalom5978
      @shalom5978 3 года назад +2

      Appropriation is simply just stealing from another culture. No where have I seen it implied that it is stealing from a lesser civilization. That’s just your own interpretation. A lot of the artifacts in which these artists draw inspiration from were taken from cultures that Europeans considered primitive. That was how they justified colonization that allowed them to even acquire those masks for example. It’s not like they were subtle about their superiority over other cultures.
      Also if there was culture appropriation being done by smaller or less advanced civilizations is not being talked about as much because they just aren’t as well known the others people tend to talk about.

    Maybe most of these modern or impressionists artists just can't paint well..... but we're too much of a hipster and call it avant garde!

    The earlier influence of Chinese and Japanese painting, sumi-e, or ukiyo-e, on Impressionist painters is not mentioned here. What I find unacceptable is to proclaim that modern art is an "overcoming" of representational art. In many, many cases, modern art is "a step backward". Many very expensive works exhibited in museums are simply a bluff.

    Why is appropriation bad again? I think it would be great to inspire other artists in making their work. As long as they don't totally discredit their inspiration sources there is nothing wrong with it.

    Just to keep it real, I would like to remind people that the only reason cubist paintings are not considered garbage is because billionaires aggree to buy them. If there was not a market for it (and a financial bubble) no one in it's right mind would consider "les demoiselles d'avignons" to be a masterpiece. (and that's not french bashing, I am myself french)

      Picasso is a fraud!
      "It was at once aggressive and abstract; distorted yet primal in its raw geometry" that's what you literally say. We have a word for that in french: "Neocon". The special kind of people trying to pass emptyness as talent by giving seemingly complicated sentences explaining the qualities of the painting. Their goal is to discourage people from trying to understand art. By reminding uneducated people of their status you try to assert yourself as a figure of authority not to be questioned.
      But sadlythat is a very politician move, using big words to say nothing. The real problem with art (be it shakespeare, paintings, operas... you name it) is that it used to be a signal of class. Poor people didn't go to the opera. But, as new technologies were invented the poor was able to listen and see the same art. Therefore, the new trick was to make art inaccessible for the common folk. The rich does not understand it either, since there is nothing to understand, but he can pretend, and therefore distinguish himself from the rest.
      This is because of such quests for inaccessibility that we traded mozart and bach for Boulez... what a joke...
      The point of art is to move the people exposed to it, be it music, paintings or poetry, if art is not understood, or undistinguished from everyday items (like the Fontaine of Duchamp) it failed as art and is nothing more than intellectual masturbation.

      +Calimero Hœnir - For the most part I agree with your statement. I didnt knew "Fontaine" and looked it up in wikipedia: There is a really long article about that piece and insofar its a good example of a very successful "intellectual masturbation", even inflated to "intellectual group masturbation".
      In Germany we have the good forger (unfortunately exposed) Wolfgang Beltracchi, who exploited the hypocrisy of the art experts for many years and made millions. He is a celebrity now! Justifiably!

    • @nikolas8036
      @nikolas8036 8 лет назад +1

      +Brent Sewell you should know that Picaso could paint good as (if not better than) any Renaissance painter already in his teens... you can google it and check it yourself. He found it boring to paint something that resembles reality (there are cameras for that) when he could literally paint anything. I am not saying that his Cubism works are pleasing to the eye, nor that this type of paintings require exquisite talent in general, but Picaso actually was very talented and he first proved himself as a painter in the traditional way.

    • @andretsang7337
      @andretsang7337 8 лет назад

    • @PevertLafayette
      @PevertLafayette 8 лет назад

      Yes, of course. But I think no one has the right to define what is art or not. People can like or dislike a work of art, but they can't create limits. Let art be. You know what I mean?
      Here in Brazil, when poor people from "favela" started to make music, other people thought it was pure "crap" and that it wasn't real art or music. But it's a way of expression, then it's art. It doesn't matter my personal taste, I respect it.
      Art isn't made to please everyone. And it doesn't need any legitimation. Art is more than just pretty things, it has the power to break boundaries. So let's break them.
