The Big Three:Jackson Pollock's No. 7

 

No. 7 By Jackson Pollock

This piece really interests me and I would say has to be my favorite of his besides"Lavender Mist". What I really noticed or stood out to me about Jackson Pollock's work is his chaotic pieces of paint splashed everywhere. His works are very random and literally all over the place In "No.7" it reminds me of something very upbeat and lively such as Jazz. The black lines merge together and it creates a sort of jazz feel. Looking very hard at the painting, It seems to me the black lines create musical notes. The color scheme is very warm in this painting. I almost would say "Swing Dance" would be a more appropriate title than No. 7.

Jackson Pollock uses a very simple technique in splashing paint upon the canvas to create his works. I like the confusion of how paint is everywhere and you're still able to see how the shades of orange red and tan mesh with the black.

I am great with faces horrible with names please post pictures so I know who I am talking with on the blogs...

Andy Warhol

Andrew Warhola was born in August 6, 1928 and passed away February 22, 1987. He was known as Andy Warhol, was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who lead the movement in pop art. Over hyped and over appreciated is a term that may offend some and not others. Andy Warhol practiced with a form of media that I personally like. Silk Screen combines complexity of design, layers, and precision. His overall look is not really much to gawk at for me. I give credit where it is due the artwork below is my favorite of his so far. Yet Andy and I have different views when it comes to artistic vision. His portrayal of reproduction would not spark my attention when it comes to his pop art of celebrity figures. Eight Elvises is a 1963 silkscreen of Elvis Presley that Andy created on November 26, 2009. An Italian collector paid $100 million for this piece of work. Andy has one piece of work that caught my eye "Guns" which is shown above, which he made after he was shot and seriously wounded by a feminist. His art was famous and inspiring to many, but I see things slightly different and if you are a fan of his work and are offended I apologize.

Jackson Pollock

 Jackson Pollock was born on January 28,1912 and died on August 11,1956. He was an American painter,
and he did abstract expressionist painting. Jackson was the first American abstract painter to be taken seriously in Europe . He was originally from Cody Wyoming, but raised in Arizona and California.
Jackson attended Manual rts school in Los Angeles . When he was encouraged to pursue his interest in art.
Jackson studied old master paintings and mural paintings.Pollock work was very liked by Peggy Guggenheim. She gave him a solo exhibition and a contract of 150 once a monthfor a year.His art work
praise and dismissed at the same time.The Museum of Modern Art in New York  which hold Jackson  Pollock paintings and also the National Gallery of Art .He bought a house in the springs on East Hampton, Long Island . Where he and his wife lived until their deaths.Now the Pollock - Krasner house and study  center, in Washington D.C. Number1 1950 ( Lavender Mist) Number7,1951 untitled, circa 1950. National
Gallery of Australia in Canberra Totem Lesson 2 1945 Blue Poles. Pollock's sketchbook, contain more than 500 drawing.The lavender Mist IS impossible to make sense of Jackson's Pollock's work..Pollock used patterns caused by different designs and the painting has the look of a marble .The colors tiny black striations and a dusty pink color.It produced many many tones. Pollock's had another painting called Going West , that painting made lot of sense because it showed Americans riding horses Over a bridge traveling into the west.

THE BIG THREE (blog #1)

For the the most part, I want to use the blog as a platform for discussion artists and their work. It work as either a more in depth than our classroom discussion or to look at artists that aren't address in the lecture or book. This week I want you to become familiar with the "super star" artists Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock , and Andy Warhol. You probably have even already seen a lot of their work and didn't realize it. Watch the first episode of the series " This is modern Art"  (it is boken into segments on youtube) Select one of the super stars that interested you the most, look up more of thier work online and come up with a response to their art. Keep the posts to a minimum of 100-150 words.
