Winston Churchill

Adam.
Hey cool man, but Winston Churchill is not a creative character.

ReplyDeleteOskar Schlemmer 1888-1943
ReplyDeleteOskar schlemmer the German designer, sculptor and choreographer uses a variety of different materials such as wood, plaster, sheet metal, glass but his sculptures predominantly used wire. His designs incorporate Geometric shapes, contrasting curves and lines highlighting and distorting the contours of the human form. My favourite pieces of work that uses steremetric forms and abstract figures. They are a series of contemporary dance positions and costumes designs in a static form which are known as ‘Kinetic Sculptures’. His later work for the Bour house company demonstrates the distortion the costumes created to the dancer’s bodies but also how they had to now move in a new and unconventional way.

William Morris 1834-1896- the art of modern printing
William Morris is an English textiles designer, poet, and writer born in the small town Walthamstow in east London who has impacted the art of tapestry immensely. His intricate tapestries often capture scenes of nature creating a tranquil and pleasing design. He revived the medieval technique of tapestry which is the method he used to create his first piece called Cabbage and Vine.
Degas-1834-1917
French artist whose work ranges from sculpture, print making but most profoundly predominate are his beautifully paintings of dancers capturing them in the present as a still subject. He was one of the great artists who embraced the realist movement.
‘A realist, like Degas, destroyed this paradigm of temporal continuity in favour of the disjointed temporal fragment. In such work as the ‘Dancer on the stage’, Degas showed no interest in conveying any ideal image of movement but concentrated on creating the equivalent of a concrete instant of perceived temporal fact-an isolated moment’.
he changed course, and by bringing the traditional methods of a history painter to bear on contemporary subject matter, he became a classical painter of modern life.
