If you were to ask me in my callow years as a coque iphone 6 etude young art coque iphone 6 cara coque en liege iphone xr delevingne studentto name my favorite painter, I would have answered without a moment’s hesitation: Wassily Kandinsky. bague argent His theoretical bent, his mysticism, his seemingly near total creative independence. coque samsung This may go a ways toward explaining why I left art school after my first year to pursue writing and teaching. chaussons pokemon But nowadays, having seen a tiny bit more of the world and its bountiful artistic treasures, I might pause for just a moment if asked about my favorite painter then I’d answer: Wassily Kandinsky.

If you want to see coque iphone retroprojecteur the pioneering abstract expressionist’s artin the United States, your best bet is to get yourself to New York’s famed Guggenheim, which has a veritable treasure chest of Kandinsky’s work that documents his transition from paintings and woodcuts inspired by Russian folk art and French fauvism to completely non representational canvases made coque iphone 7 zizo bolt entirely of intersecting lines, shapes, and colors his own private symbology.

But coque iphone 5c south park if you can’t make it to New York, then just head on coque iphone 6s blinder over to the Guggenheim’s online collection, where the museum has digitized “nearly 1600 artworks by coque iphone jott more than 575 artists.” This is the most sweeping move toward greater accessibility since the private collection went public in 1937. Tshirt pokemon collier argent coque iphone You’ll find early representational Kandinskys; transitional Kandinskys like Sketch for Composition II from 1909 10 (top) with still recognizable favorite motifs of his, like the horse and rider coque iphone 4 destiny embedded in them; and you’ll find much more abstract Kandinskyslike 1913′sLight Picture, above, showing hismove even farther away from Matisse and Russian folks and closer to an inimitable individual aesthetic like that of Joan Mir or Paul Klee.

Speaking of Klee, another of my favorites, you’ll also find the sketch above, from 1895, before he began his formal training coque iphone 7 plus louis vuitton pas cher in Munich. coque samsung It’s a far cry from his mature style a primitive minimalism that drew inspiration from children’s art. coque huawei If you know anyone who looks at abstract art and says, “I could do that,” show them the drawing above and ask if they could do this. coque samsung coque iphone Painters like Kandinsky and Klee, who worked and exhibited together, first learned to render in more rigorously formal styles before they broke every rule and made their own. coque iphone bague femme It’s a necessary part of the discipline of art.

Of the three artists I’ve mentioned thus far, it is perhaps Mir who moved farthest away from any semblance of classical training. In works like Personage coque iphone 6 blanche neige silicone (above), the Spanish surrealist achieved his “assassination of painting” and the realist coque iphone 6 manga anti choque bourgeois values he detested in European art. Piet Mondrian, coque iphone 5s dimension another artist who completely radicalized painting, did so macklemore coque iphone 6 by moving in the opposite direction, towards a formalism so coque iphone 5c ou 5 exacting as to be almost chilling. coque samsung But like all modern artists, Mondrian learned the classical rules funny coque iphone 6 before he tore them up for good, as evidenced by his drawing below, Chrysanthemum, from 1908 09.

Of coque iphone 6 de riverdale course you won’t only find artists from the early twentieth coque iphone 6 plus diamant century inthe Guggenheim’s online collection. coque samsung This just happens to be one of my favorite periods, and the Guggenheim is most famous for its modernist collection.

And if you find yourself wanting more context, the Guggenheim has made it easy to give yourself a thorough education in modern art. coque huawei As coque desigual iphone 6 plus we’ve noted before, between coque chic iphone 6 plus 2012 and 2014, the museum placed over 100 art catalogues online, including a collection called “The coque iphone 6s vĂ©lo Syllabus,” featuring books by the museum’s first curator.
