I visited the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, located in Washington, DC.I went to this exhibit previously when the Art department of Frederick Community College had a trip on Saturday to the DC National Mall on October 25, and 2014.
The artwork I found very intriguing and stood out from the rest was the featured artwork “Made in Japan” by artist Martial Raysse, completed in 1964. The use of the style orientalism and pop art was articulated in this artwork. In addition, the genre of nude painting was also used as well. It was made of photomechanical reproductions, wallpaper, gouache, and mixed media on paper on fingerboard. The painting significantly caught my eye as soon as a saw it. It was big and full of lively

Nouveau réalisme meaning new realism refers to a visual artistic movement established in 1960 by Pierre Restany and Yves Klein. Pierre Restany wrote the original manifesto, titled the "Constitutive Declaration of New Realism," in April 1960, pronouncing, Nouveau Réalisme, “new ways of perceiving the real”. This mutual declaration was signed on October, 27, 1960 by nine people including Raysse. He was associated with the Nouveeux Realistes, a group of French artists who in the beginning in the 1960s sought to reflect the “urban, industrial and advertising reality” of contemporary life (Oxford University Press, New York, …show more content…

Age 78, he lives in Issigeac, France "I was a well-known painter," he said in 1972. "Now, I'm a penniless film-maker. Having decided to use the techniques of my time, I started from scratch. And to what a reception..." (Philippe Dagen, The
In 1954 François Truffaut, in ‘Cahiers du Cinéma’, elaborated on this idea further with his essay ‘Les Politique des Auteurs’. He argued that ownership in a film, or the creative voice that drives a movie, is always inextricably linked to the director. As such, when looking at any director’s body of work there will be recurring themes, stylistic trends, and preoccupations that define these movies as belonging solely to the director. Accordingly, there are never “good or bad movies, only good and bad directors”. Greatness in a movie is a measure of originality and vision. Village Voice’s Andrew Sarris, in his Notes on Auteur Theory (1962), refined this concept by applying a visual aid of three concentric circles to help identify an auteur - the outer circle being technique, the middle circle, personal style, and the inner circle, interior

Towards the end of Picasso’s life, he slept very little but painted a lot (MacDonald 109). On April 8, 1973, Pablo Picasso died in Mougins, France. He is buried at Chateau de Vauvenargues in Provence (MacDonald 109). In his lifetime, he created 13,500 paintings, 100,000 prints and engravings, and 34,000 illustrations (PabloPicasso.org).

Probably the French New Wave’s most prominent international figure is Jean-Luc Godard, who could be described as a visionary of film both in France and abroad. Apart of his remarkable career as a screenwriter and director, Godard was first of all a highly esteemed critic of film. Being part of the Cahiers de Cinema as one of the magazine’s most celebrated contributing actors, he was praised for his experimentation with both the thematic and technical aspects of film production (Sterritt, 1999). The abounding literature on Godard is resulted from not only his prolific career but also from his intricate, ground breaking techniques and ideas that he promoted so devotedly.

Realism started in France in the 1830s. It was very popular there for a long time. A man named Friedrich Schiller came up with the word “realism.” Realism is based on contemporary life. There is a very accurate and honest representation of characters in this style of art. Realism tries to combine romanticism and the enlightenment. Life isn’t just about mind and not just about feelings either, it’s about both feelings and reason together. As said in the na...
Impressionism can be seen as a development which grew out of Realism, but in its turn still had to battle the more popular Romanticism. Realism has never entirely displaced the popular taste for Romantic art, as any number of hotel-room paintings, paperback book covers and calendars testify. It became just one more style among others. In Fiction Realism's most important influences have been on fiction and the theater. It is perhaps unsurprising that its origins can be traced to France, where the dominant official neoclassicism had put up a long struggle against Romanticism. Since the 18th century the French have traditionally viewed themselves as rationalists, and this prevailing attitude in intellectual circles meant that Romanticism led an uneasy existence in France even when allied with the major revolutionary movements of 1789 and 1830. Influence of Realism Realism had profound effects on fiction from places as far-flung as Russia and the Americas.
‘Then came the films’; writes the German cultural theorist Walter Benjamin, evoking the arrival of a powerful new art form at the end of 19th century. By this statement, he tried to explain that films were not just another visual medium, but it has a clear differentiation from all previous mediums of visual culture.
