Mod 11

I didn't exactly choose the videos for any specific reason, but allowed myself to learn more on subjects that I wasn't as sure on.

Matisse and Picasso

The film documents the relationship between two personae: Matisse and Picasso. Matisse put most of his time and energy into his art; he did not socialize much.Picasso paints objects he may have seen years ago or his perception of everyday things such as fruit or a table.During the wars they both continued to create pieces. Picasso painted some of the darkness whereas Matisse had not. Matisse continued to paint bright pieces containing fruit and other non-harmful objects.

DADA

The Dada movement was a reaction to World War l. Artist Kurt Schwitters realized the unlimited possibilities of collage, used rural objects in his art, and light dances off of his objects. DADA was a subversive and revolutionary state of being that embodied the idea of organized chaos. It is a public execution of false morality.

These videos relate to the text because they elaborate more into the artists specifically.

I think the films helped me grasp more the concepts of each movement. It gave me a deeper look into the historically events that were occurring. It helped me gauge a better perspective on each artist.
