How to explain the modern art school?

Abstract expressionism, which originated from American painting in the 20th century, marks the shift of the center of modern western art from Paris to new york. If this painting school is actually a continuation of European modernist painting in the United States, then it has always been in the United States.

The various schools of painting produced in China are entirely created by Americans themselves. Pop art is the earliest painting school with American characteristics. According to lichtenstein, pop art appeared in the middle and late 1950s.

Law, "painting with the theme of commercial art is pop art", its materials are popular, its visual image is simple and direct, and it excludes the expression of individuality. Acrylic, enamel and other materials create a smooth texture effect on the screen.

Reminiscent of magazine covers, highly typed atmosphere. In pop art,

In the eyes of artists, art is life, and life is art, which can be directly based on real-life objects, and real-life objects can also be directly used as pop art works. This is obvious in the American painting world after pop art.

Show all kinds of weather. Photographic realism, light effect, hard edge painting, etc. Come in succession, dazzling. Light effect art was popular in the 1960s, which caused people's visual errors through the special arrangement of lines, shapes and colors.

Sleep creates a scheduling effect on a static picture. Photographic realism was mainly popular in the 1970s. It draws pictures according to photos, and the image is vivid and meticulous.

John is a representative figure of early pop art. He was born in South Carolina.

That state moved to new york on 1952. His paintings abandoned the short-lived emotional expression of abstract expressionism, and created a "new Dada" that used pure painting forms and even real objects in life to exquisitely deal with daily realistic themes.

Style. This style has played a decisive role in the development of pop art. John chose the American flag as the only theme of this painting. This theme has a strong symbolic significance for the ordinary American public.

"No other social symbol is as powerful as the American flag and can resist the change of aesthetics." However, Johns insisted: "This is not a flag." This reminds people of Magritte once.

A sentence written on the painting with a pipe: "This is not a pipe." Indeed, this is not a pipe, but just a picture. What Johns is going to say here must mean the same thing. In this painting, he actually wants to

Represents the boundary between image and reality. Although he painted the three flags very realistically with highly realistic skills, they looked unnatural. They don't feel fluttering and drooping, as if suspended in

Half empty. It can be seen that there is a certain distance and space between them, but there is no connection between them. If they still feel a little moved, it is that the red, white and blue colors on the national flag are not.

Flat-painted monochrome, but slightly undulating effect. People may ask whether the painter is painting portraits of these three flags, which must only exist in the painter's mind. Therefore, what this painting depicts

It is by no means a real reality, but just an illusory reality. When we first saw this painting, we never thought it would make people feel so strange.

In pop art, the most influential and representative painter is Andy Warhol (1927-1986). He is the initiator and main advocate of American pop art movement. 1962, he was famous for exhibiting "sculptures" of soup pots and Blillo soap boxes. His painting patterns are almost the same. He used images from the mass media, such as Campbell's Soup Pot, coca-cola bottle, US dollar bills, Mona Lisa and Ma Lilian Monroe's heads, as basic elements, to appear repeatedly in his paintings. He tried to completely cancel the manual operation factor in artistic creation. All his works are made by screen printing technology, and the images can be repeated countless times, bringing a unique dull effect to the picture.

For his works, Harold Rowe

Senberg once joked, "The pillars of Campbell's soup pot are numb and repetitive, just like a humorous joke that has been told over and over again." He likes to repeat and copy. "I have had the same breakfast for twenty years."

He explained, "I think it's the same thing over and over again." For him, there is no "originality", his works are all replicas, and he just wants to replace the original position with countless replicas. He is painting on purpose.

Eliminate the colors of personality and emotion, and quietly list ordinary images. He has a famous motto: "I want to be a machine", just as Jackson Pollock declared that he "wants to be natural".

In stark contrast. His paintings, almost inexplicable, "can arouse infinite curiosity-it is a slightly terrible vacuum that needs to be filled with small talk and empty talk." In fact, andy warhol painted this special one.

Some of them are monotonous, boring and repetitive, conveying a feeling of indifference, emptiness and alienation, and showing people's inner feelings in a highly developed commercial and civilized society.

The portrait of Marilyn Monroe is one of the most interesting themes in Warhol's works. In the painting "Marilyn Monroe" by 1967, the painter used the heads of unfortunate Hollywood sexy movie stars as the basic elements of the picture and stood in a row repeatedly. The simple, neat and monotonous portrait of Monroe reflects people's helpless emptiness and confusion in modern commercial society.

Royallichtenstein (1923i) is famous for drawing cartoon images. Like andy warhol, he is not only interested in ordinary trifles in daily life and modern business.

The vulgar images in exquisite society are biased, and they also like to deal with these images in an impersonal and neutral way. For them, he neither criticized nor flattered them, but simply stated them.

This is the city where we live, and this is the image and symbol that make up our life. 196 1 year, he began to put the image in the most inconspicuous comic book on his big screen.

Let's go He used oil paint or acrylic paint with relish to enlarge those comic books as they are, and even took pains to copy dots in the process of cheap color printing. As far as exquisite pictures and rigorous production are concerned, its painting style

It looks very classical.

The Girl by the Piano is a work with typical Liechtenstein painting style. The whole painting reproduces a cartoon, which is more than 500 times larger than the original. The painter not only accurately copied the composition and characters of the original, but also carefully imitated the brushwork and screen printing of the original author. He borrowed the enlarged grid of the advertising artist,

Frame by frame, the graphics in comics always move from small units on the canvas to large units. He also used a special metal sculpture with neat holes and regularly arranged larger points in a huge picture.

In fact, it intends to imitate dots in the printing process to show the pop culture color of its enlarged comics. He claimed that this painting is not a mechanical imitation, and its painting method is only for formal reasons: "I think my work."

Products are different from newspaper comics ... what I do is modeling, and newspaper comics are not modeling according to my explanation. "

Flow, by Riley, 1964, board and mixed materials, 149.5x 148.3cm, OPArt of new york Museum of Modern Art, also known as "optical illusion art" or "light effect art", was popular in 1960s. This kind of art mainly causes people's optical illusion through the special arrangement of lines, shapes and colors, thus making still pictures have dazzling and flowing dynamic effects. It originated from the tradition of Bauhaus and made use of the research results of Gestalt psychology. It is an abstract art closely related to the viewer's visual perception.

The sense of light, illusion and movement of light effect art comes from the special dynamic characteristics of the picture itself. Refers to lines, such as vertical lines, horizontal lines and curves.

Regular arrangement and shape, such as the periodic combination of circle, square and rectangle, and the juxtaposition, overlapping, surrounding and gradual change of colors bring special stimulation to the retina. It will confuse people's visual perception and lead to flash.

Motion hallucinations, such as blinking, radiation, rotation, impact, etc. This visual uncertainty will even make the viewer inadvertently pulled into a trance-like unconscious state. It can be said to be a kind of visual magic. Although we know that all painting art involves the gap between physical facts and psychological effects, here we are still amazed at the illusion effect of ups and downs on the static plane.

The creation of light effect painting is a bit like a visual scientific experiment, which has nothing to do with emotion. This kind of painting is not only limited to the picture itself, but also calls for the participation of the viewer. Only when people look at it can it gain integrity and realize its value in the interaction with the viewer. In fact, this trend can be traced back to Impressionism and

New impressionism. Those painters try to avoid mixing pigments, but let the primary colors be juxtaposed on the canvas. When the viewer retreats to a proper distance, people will feel the flicker of light due to the unique compound effect of retina. Light effect painting

Psychologists have further advanced this technology, making it a practical theme and content. Light effect art can arouse people's interest. It is used in design, decoration, advertising and other aspects, and has become a popular label. light efficiency

Representative painters are Victor Vasavely and Bridget Riley.

Bridget Louise Lai

Bridget Louise Riley (1931-) is a creative British female painter. Before 1960, she mainly painted people and landscapes. Later, she devoted herself to the art of lighting effects.

Create a batch of very dynamic works.

Liu, written on 1964, is one of his famous black and white painting series. The relationship between lines seems to have been carefully calculated and arranged, resulting in twists and turns in the picture. When your eyes are fixed on it

At this time, the picture is constantly fluctuating, resulting in the illusion of "flow".
