A 20,000 Year History Of The Image
Lascaux Caves- France
These cave drawings are thought to be the first images made by man. They are estimated to be around 17,300 years old. They were attempts to communicate with a higher power and are thought to have been magical and hoped to answer wishes for good hunting seasons hence the images of hunting.
Cy Twombly (2001) Lepanto, Panel 8 of 12
Twombly's neo-impressionist work is very abstract and to many people is pointless art. But the work is not just paint on a canvas and is thought to be somewhat primal.
Richard Long
There are two types of communication from different circumstances but both meaning the same thing.
Rothko Chapel- Texas
Rothko filled a room with massive scale dark canvases, the paintings are so big and dark and empty that they are meant to make you feel strong emotion. Feels like you are getting sucked in to the paintings. People say that the paintings make you feel tragedy.
Art galleries are places that make you feel inferior, they have a feeling of a higher power. Art galleries make people behave similarly to how you would in a church.
what makes something better than something else? Why is the Mona Lisa so good? in this day in age there are many ways to document, copy and change artworks so art has become less special and the genius has been taken out of it.
In 1919 marcel duchamp made an artwork mocking the Mona Lisa.
The CIA funded jackson Pollock to make works to show that the western world was free compared to the soviet union. The russians comeback to this was russian constructivism wich is shows orders and control.
