今天听写的内容,唉,写的好痛苦,耳朵都疼了~~~
坚持就是胜利
ok,I'm going to bigain this lecture by giving you your next assignment.Remember I said that to some point during the sememster I wanted you to attend the exhibit at the Fairy Street Gallery and then write about it? while, the exhibit that I want you to attend is coming up. It's already started in fact.But it'll be the gallery for the next month.which you should give plenty of time to complete the assignment.
The name of the artist exhibiting there is Rose Frantzen's. Frantzen's work may be unfamiliar to you. She is relatively young artist, but she's got a very unusual style compared to some of the artists we've looked at this term. But anyway, Frantzen's style was what she called herself realistic impressionism. So you probably studied both of the movements seperately, seperate movement. realism and impressionism in some of your art history courses. So who can just sum them up?
Well, impressionism started in late 19th century, the basic impressionist stype was very different from ealier styles, it didn't depict scenes or models exactly as they looked.expressionist painters tended to apply paint really thickly, and in big brushtrokes, so the texture of the canvas was rough.
Good, what's else? What were the subject?
Well, a lot of expressionist artisr painted everyday scene like people on the streets and cafes and lots of nature scenes, especially landscapes.
Good, so when you go to the exhibit I really want you take a close look at the cerntain painting. It's a farm scene, and you wil see it right when you enter the gallery. The reason I think the paiting is so improtant is that it stresses the the impressionist aspect of the Frantzen's style. It's the out door scene, and everyday scene. It's kind of bleak, but you really see those broad brushstrokes, and the blurry lines. The colors aren't quite realistic, the sky is kind of , while, in a natural, pinkish yellow. And the fence in the foreground is blue. but somehow the overall thing gives us any impression of a cold bleak winter day on a farm. So that's the impressionist side of her work. [news:/p/02:49.8]
and speaking about farms, that remains me. One interesting thing I read about Frantze's is that when she first move back to lowa after living abroad.often visited these place in her town call the Sales Barn. And the Sales Barn was basically this place where the local farmers bought and sold their cattle, their farm animals. And the reason Frantzen went there and she later on would visit other place like dance halls, was to abserve people on the ways that they moved.She really found this helped her work, that it gave her the understanding the body movements and actions how humans move and stand still. what their postures were like, too.
So what about the real reason? What are the elements of realism we should be looking for in Frantzen's work.
Well, real honest depiction of subject matter.pretty unidealized stuff, and everyday subject matter too.
Good, what other painting I really want to look at is a young wuman surrunded by pumpkins. You know this woman's face is so realistic looking that it almost like a photograph. The woman's nose is little less than perfect that her hair is kind of massed up. This is realism. But then the background of painting, this woman with the pumpkin is wrapped in a blanklet of broad thick brushtrokes, and ,it's all kinds of zigzagging brushtroke and lines. Kind of chaoic almost when you look at close. And there are vibrant colors, it's lots of orange with little hints of an electric blue peeking out.
I find Frantzan to be a very assessible artist.I mean, some artist, to appreciate them you have to know their life story. But there is a little bit about Rose Frantzen's life anyway. She attended art school, but was told by one of her structor that she was not good illustration. That she should go to advertising instead. So she took advertising classes and fine art classes too. until she was convinced by the head of an advertising agency that her work was really good, that she couldn't be an artist. But of course, it's not easy as that, so Frantzen has to paint other people's portraits at place like art fairs just making money to buy paint for her more serious art work. No matter what, she never stop painting. And now, Frantzen is doing extermely well, and his work is being shown all over the country. So I think most of us would be disouraged if we had to face challenges and difficults like that, but what is improtant is that you keep at it. you don't give up. That's what is really important to remeber. |
