Art history assignment 2
This assignment is on how the 4 featured artists in this module use line in their artwork, you are simply to describe each one, the types of line each uses (organic, geometric, classical, analytic, symbolic, expressive, etc) and what the motivating factors behind the artwork. Name a specific work for each and what the work is about specifically or the body or work as a whole.
I'll get you going....Keith Haring uses simplistic signs and symbols that are universally understood, Matthew Ritchie uses line as a metaphor for one's life and the ideals and values that you carry with you each day, Hung Liu uses line to create a contrast between China's oppressive regime and freedom, and Van Gogh's lines are both expressive and sad, a life of feeling that he was a failure. He only sold 1 painting in his lifetime, Starry Night was painted from an asylum window.
