Artist's Periods
|
LIFELIKE

Nature scenes and animals depicted in a
lifelike manner.
|
SURREAL

|
|
GOTHIC

Haunting images set in cinematic lighting.
Natural landscapes and figures appear reduced in form. Somber pallet, and
use of shadow become typical. Gestural brushstrokes and hatching is used
to create both depth and movement.
|
ABSTRACT LANDSCAPES

Uses large blocks of color to depict a
landscape. Variations within create depth, light, form, and what ever
objects within that are seen by the viewer become the subject. Viewers
might be inclined to invent objects through the gestures and shapes.
|
|
NIGHT TIME LANDSCAPES

As Monet captures sunlight within his paint,
the Night Landscapes are intended to capture the moonlight. These types of
paintings may resemble the likes of the Abstract Landscape type paintings.
|
NON-OBJECTIVE

Non-objective is different than
abstract in that abstract is an object that is reduced in form or distorted,
while non-objective compositions begin without an object. Most of
these type of paintings do not have an up or down. The composition
should work which ever way it is hanged. |
|
ILLUSTRATION

Usually ink drawings with encoded
lyrics. The influence of each period is found in illustrations such as
this. |
ANIMAL FORM

Animals are depicted in a way that
shows their personality, natural movement, reduced forms, gestural studies,
distorted or anatomically precise figures. |
