Modern art is the topic that was discussed by the 7th group. According to their presentation, "modern
art begins with the changes in the representation of space as introduced by
artists of the late 18th century. Unlike Renaissance masters, who sought to
open up endless vistas within the canvas, the artists of the latter 1700s
thrust all of the imagery toward the picture plane. The flatness or
two-dimensionality of the canvas surface was asserted by the use of planar
recession rather than linear recession."
Modern art, covers powerful styles, that made it more interesting. One of them that I like the most is the Impressionistic style. Impressionism is a style that conveys emotions, opinions and personal views of the artists. In this style, we can say that art speaks. In this style, artists make their own rendition of things when perceived by the light. Here's an example of an Impressionistic art:
But in this case, the artist, Renoir, didn't just portray things when perceived by the light. He painted a scene that seemed like it just happened yesterday. He used the "leading lights" composition, it's when you look at the painting from the bottom left, the light will lead you the center then to the top-most right then back to the top-most left which is the main subject. It's a very powerful technique and is very difficult to do.
Digitally, creating a masterpiece as that is really hard to do, what more if it's a painting (from scratch)? It's really remarkable and amazing. I, for one, would want to create a masterpiece as that!! I want to use this painting as my inspiration to create my own. No photograph can match a grandeur painting as that!
