Viewing the video made me learn that beauty is a meaningless word. Each of the different artist mentioned in this video have their on definition of beauty and they each show it thru their art work.For example Elizabeth Peyton fines beauty in famous celebrities and that is what most of her paintings are about. I found Henry Matisse's art work really interesting, specially the Blue Nude painting. Its an example of an abstract art too me because its a painting of a women, but with a weird looking figure and she is colored in blue. Also it is an example of positive and negative space. The women in blue is the positive space which is what your eyes see first when viewing the painting and the white background the negative space. Henry Matisse also made voodoo look become the modern look and lived in his symbolic little world of beauty and was also obsessed with the natural world.
Questions:
1. Does listening to Rock and Roll motivate Jules Olitski to paint?
2. Can you relate Jean-Michel Basquiat's art work to Pablo Picasso's? Why?
3. Do famous celebrities buy Elizabeth Peyton's paintings of themselves?
4. Why do most artist like to live in isolated areas away from the city?
5. Does Alex Katz pay the people that he chooses to draw in his paintings.? Are they random people?
