1- The World War 1 was going, 10 million deaths and 20 million injured people was the consequence of the war in just four years, so people was depressed. 2- HANNAH HOCHI've picked up this image because it impacted me when I open the images, i like it's colors and how paper is cut to make the collage, the composition and the drawing's stability. This is a photography collage so I suppose it is made with paper, cardboard, and maybe newspaper, because I think, she has cut some parts of different models and then paste them in a completely different way to the which they should be. She uses form with that strange heads, tone, because only one head can have more than one tone, color with that blue background to impact the vision. I think the artist just tried to focus on the drawing to be really strange, and I think she obtained the objective. Click here to edit. I´ve chosen this image because I like how the eyes are distributed all along the space, I like when the artist achieves focusing the expectator´s eye in one point, and in this case she has achieve it focusing in the center, with three round eyes forming a triangle, and more eyes which go closing while they estrange away. She´s done a collage with photography and pastel, which is the same I explained before, using cutted paper pieces and putting one over another. She´s used tone for the orange background, line, playing with the paper forms, color by putting some green ones, blue, brown, black and white... I think the artist tried to say you can´t do anything without being observed or controlled because everything has a law, and the dada movement tried to eliminate laws. In this picture I like the contrast between the real and the unreal, the real baby face with that black and white body and the unreal face. This picture is a collage, composed off, photography, airbrush and acrylic, but here drawing has bigger proportions comparing with latest pictures. The background seems to be like chalk and again paper pieces to make that funny heads. Here the babie´s head is the center of the picture. She´s used tone in all over the picture for example in the babe´s face, color, to stand out babie´s head, and shape, marking all the borders of the principal baby. Ifound this picture really funny and I like how she achieved focusing our eyes to the big babe´s head. MAX ERNSTI chose this picture because when I first saw it, it catched up my attention with that dark mass in the center of the drawing. I really like this picture because it makes you think about what is the dark think, may it be a pressure cooker, a bull, a vacuum cleaner, a robot...there are plenty of things that could it be. There is also a woman without head in the corner, I must say I have no idea unless I´ve been thinking what could that mean. I think Max Ernst has used acrylic paint to draw this by bluring. He has used visual texture, color, tone with all that colors and shape. I think the artist was trying to express the emptiness of humans towards the animals or other insignificant things, which are more useful. I´ve chosen this picture because I´ve seen it so many times before and I like it too much, with all that shiny colors with that variety. I like from this picture that you understand the thing which is in the center is an animal, but you can´t say which animal because you can only interpret ate the mouth , an eye and both arms and legs, but they seem to be clothing so its confusing. In this picture I think the artist has used acrylic paint because of that shades and tones. He has used line on the monster, shape, tone with the clothing and color. I personally like this picture, mainly because of colors because there are no other things to see. Is just the colorful composition, using primary colors as yellow, blue and red and some secondary such as orange and green and white in the center. I´ve chosen this image because it´s so strange and it caughted up my attention with that opposite colors. I think Max Ernst has used a mix technique with, watercolor and acrylic to draw this because the watered sky looks like watercolor ,while the most intense spot colors like red, green and black seem to be acrylic. Here, the artist has used mainly color, mixing that completely opposite black and white, and also red, green and blue, he has also used tone, shape, and line. Up to now, I think this is my favorite painting, it makes me think and unless I haven´t reach a conclusion yet, it is a beautiful composition. Hans RichterI´ve chosen this picture because it impacted me, it was the first picture I focus onto when I searched for Hans Richter. I have the doubt what Hans Richter has used in this painting, I´m not sure between oil or acrylic, with a dry brush, for this image as you can appreciate in all the picture, the face, the jacket, the background...and he has used for this line, shape, form in the face, tone and color. I like this picture, it does´t make you think but colors are quite impacting so visually is very nice, it uses primary colors such as blue, red and yellow, and white which gives lot of brightness to the painting. I´ve chosen this image because I really like it, I like very much how with very few things or elements, is possible to define so good to a woman, he has chosen the most important characteristics from a woman and put them in order, but without any tone for the face, and making the shoulder by making a round shape with the background. In this case the artist has used oil as you can appreciate in the red and blue colors, putting lots of paint mass. To draw this picture, he has used primary colors as red and blue with a very light brown as a background. In this picture the artist uses line, color and shape. I love from this picture the simplicity, and at the same time the beauty of the painting. I´ve chosen this image because unless colors and geometric shapes are all of them the same, this one looks different, in my opinion is more real than the last ones, the shape of the head and the whole characteristics such as the mouth, the nose or the eyes are more defined. Here the artist has again used oil to paint the picture, differentiating in the same picture, zones with less paint mass density or more than others, making straight lines, color shape and tone. Man RayI´ve chosen this picture because it is the less horrible drawing I´ve found from Man Ray. I like its colors and the pool table. Here creativity and colorfulnesss mind have join together, so this is the solution. Here the artist has used acrylic paint because it has very vivid colors. The artist has used line, color, shape,form and tone. I think, the artist with tis picture was trying to relax the viewers, you see clouds, and everyone with a color, a pool table to play with friends and a lonely sunset. Ive chosen this image because it is an example of what I don´t like. I really think this picture is horrible, because of colors, there is no contrast at all, white is the main color, with a very light brown, some light green and some soft black. I think the artist has used a mix technique, using pastel and acrylic paint over an Ingres paper of dark background. He has used the formal elements of line, shape, tone and color. I think the artist was trying like copying other cultures, in these case the chinese, that´s because after the war the rebel with the provisions. I´ve chosen this image because it is really curious, I don´t know what is it. I can just see a leaf at the front and a building at the back, and I think the rest was Man Ray´s crazy imagination. I thik in this image the artist has used gouache, using big and loose brushstrokes to give a distance impression, because in the front he uses very thin and careful lines with flat and shiny colors. The formal elements which has been used in this picture are line, shape, form, tone, pattern and color. As I told before, I thick this picture is very curious and makes people think about what could that be. I also like that it looks happy with that strange green thing and the leaf, but the background is depressing. Jean ArpI´ve chosen this image because I like it very much, it´s ease and simplicity is very nice, just with one color making total contrast between black and white, very eased characteristics and very big. Only the most important parts, in this case the eyes and the claws. I do also like this painting because again you don´t know what animal or specie it is, it looks like a lion for me, but maybe other person does´t think the same. I think this picture has been made with water color, making very straight and perfect lines for the outline, but deliberating irregular mass on the center. This picture is at the moment, the one with less formal elements in the image, this ne has just line and shape, using negative space. I've chosen this image because I like the colors of the composition, the contrast between them and the background, and also the ease of its shapes. I like that combination between the yellow background, the light yellow and golden squares to give some little changes and some black to crash the picture, also a bit of green to contrast. Line, geometric shapes and color are the formal elements of this painting. I really don't think the artist was trying to express something with this because there are just squares without any logical position. I've chosen this image because I think is different from the last ones. This one is abstract, but you can start imaging some figures and intuiting shapes, with the black mass, or the negative, yellow. I don,t really like very much the colors which he has used because I think they don´t contrast. This picture has got line, round shape and color. Marcel DuchampIve chosen this image because I think it is one of the most characteristic dada paintings, of the dada movement, which is just " without sense " , so the artist just on that famous painting a mustache and a knob, which is impossible because she is a girl. There is line, form and tone, which is the most important visual element in this painting. I´ve chosen this picture because it,s other Duchamp´s different painting style, and it is good when an artist is good not only in one type of style, so I think putting some examples of each is good, unless I don´t like it very much. The formal elements here are line, shape, form, tone, pattern and color. I don´t really like this picture in terms of the image, the figure, colors, but I have chosen this image because I really like the detail for something which isn´t important, an absurd object. It is an iron, which is supposed to be very clean and soft to pass it through the clothes, and it has spikes to tear all of them. The formal elements of this painting are line, which are very well defined with contrast, triangular shape, 2D form using very dark tone to give a 3D impression, tone and pattern for the background. I think the artist was trying just to be creative with the dadaist movement, which was no reason. 2- The DADA movement was mainly against war, any meaning or sense, they followed Abstraction and Expressionism, which also followed Cubism and, to a lesser extent, Futurism.

The Constructivism is a movement which originated in Russia in 1913. They wanted to construct art so there's the name origin.
They also wanted art as a practise for social purposes such as politics. Constructivism had a great effect on modern art movements from the 20 Century such as graphic design, industrial design, film, theatre or fashion. In Constructivism, I can remember, I spoke about the differences between two of the most recognised painters in that movement, which were, Alexander Rodchenko and Gustav Klutsis. Alexander Rodchenko used lots of colours, and very flashy ones, like red, blue, green, black and white to impact people, he also used many geometrical shapes which never get in touch between them like triangles, rectangles and circles. He did also like simetry. Gustav Klutsis was another very famous artist of constructivism but in my opinion, he was the opposite of Rodchenko, he liked drawing realistic paintings, he used mainly red and grey, and colours were all touching one each other. |
