Jacques de la Villeglé lived in France during the art movements in the 1950s and 1960s and therefore his artwork is a reflection of the European movements during that time period. This particular piece is called a décollage which involved the process of making a collage by gluing and pasting magazine articles, pictures, etc. to a canvas and then stripping away pieces of it to create a new work of art all together. In 122 rue du temple, Jacques de la Villeglé made it very clear to use specific movie posters and political notices only from the actual street called 122 rue du temple and tore them up to create this piece. In the late 1950s and early 1960s a French art movement had started called Nouveau Réalisme, which means “New Realism”. The …show more content…
There are movie posters in the décollage to represent how important the role of cinema was in the late 1950s and 1960s and how although the student and workers riots were happening, movies were also being made about them as a form of art. It also signifies how the riots were affecting everyone, and were even influencing the cinematic world. The political advertisements in this décollage were specifically for a legislative election instigated by the events of May in 1968. At the time, the current president, de Galle, had left the country and planned to resign. There were plans for forming a new government because it was becoming so corrupted and, therefore, also had an influence on society in France and is the reason Jacques de la Villeglé included political campaigns in his décollage. Jacques de la Villeglé made it apparent that all of the posters on the piece were collected from the real street 122 rue du temple to make a point that you could find all types of posters everywhere all over the streets. There were posters about political legislation transforming and cinema playing another important role in Paris in 1968. The posters collected from this specific street signify that any street in Paris was covered in these kinds of posters and would reminded anyone who saw them of the events that were happening and how these events meshed politics and …show more content…
One of them is a man and has part of the name, “Jacques,” under it, which would make viewers believe that it is a symbol of him, but the image make him unrecognizable because the entire face has been stripped away. This could be Jacques de la Villeglé’s way of branding his artwork. There are two other faces that are recognizably women, which most likely was to indicate the discrimination women felt during 1968 as they were defined as “housewives”. One of the women even looks as if she is a housewife because she is wearing a large headband that is commonly seen as the image of a housewife. All of the other faces were torn through except for that one, which is definitely recognizable. Jacques de la Villeglé made her face viewable because she looks unhappy, as most women were during 1968 because they struggled to become

The composition of the piece is combined with pictures of President Kennedy, geometrical shapes and superheros such as Captain America, Iron Man and Thor. The piece itself does not really show movement, but the images all relate because of the viewing of media, politics and social awareness that Basquiat wanted to express to the art world. The color variation of this piece embraces a bit of pop art, which indicates the huge influence that Andy Warhol had on Basquiat at the time. A Lot of the clip pictures are bold but their color schemes are different such as the President Kennedy's picture contrast with the superhero clippings contrast within dark red and light red with Kennedy’s picture .The mood of the painting expresses sadness and despair, but eagerness for hope. During the 1960’s, President Kennedy was assassinated. Basquiat viewed him as an idol which shows why his picture takes up most of this art piece.. At the time, Kennedy represented change and hope, something that Basquiat had difficulty coping with with heroin

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...
Before Impressionism came to be a major movement (around 1870-1800s), Neoclassical and Romanticism were still making their impacts. Remembering last week’s lesson, we know that both those styles were different in the fact that one was based on emotion, while the other was practical and serious. However, one thing they both shared was the fact that the artists were trying to get a message across; mostly having to do with the effects of the French Revolution, and/or being ordered to do so. With Impressionism, there is a clear difference from its predecessors.
The main perception through the role of art and design in this period placed by art nouveau practitioners is intriguingly relevant to the collections of historic art found within the V&A museum. The practitioner beliefs were that all the existing arts of that current time period should collaborate together without issues of any sort; while each art form or movement had its own unique form of perception and expression while maintaining their basic traditions where all considered...
Romanticism was a deepened appreciation of the beauties of nature. It was a general exaltation of emotion over reason order and instinct. It was full of high passion. Romanticism was “a turning in upon the self and a heightened examination of human personality and its moods and mental potentialities”, (Pioch). The art expressed passions and inner struggles. The artists of this time were supremely individual creators. To them the creative spirit was the most important thing of their art. They didn’t follow the strict adherence to formal rules and traditional procedures. They thought of the “imagination as the gateway to the transcendent experience and spiritual truth”, (Pioch). They had obsessive interests in folk culture, the medieval era, national and ethnic culture origins. Realism was and still is an accurately reproduction of reality or heroism of modern life. Realism came as a response to Romanticism. Realism struggled against the ‘over popularity’ of Romanticism. It consisted of many pieces of still life and domestic art. Courbet, Millet, and Zola were some more of the major artists doing Realism art. They aren’t as well known as many other artists because every one was doing this kind of art and it was hard to tell the differences between the artists that painted Realism paintings. Realism “became just one more style among others”, (Brown). They anticipated many of the concerns of the eighteen hundreds or of the century before. “Realism is a recurrent theme in art which becomes a coherent movement”, (Cruttenden 50) but only after 1850.

In Music and Art As intellectual and artistic movements 19th-Century Realism and Naturalism are both responses to Romanticism but are not really comparable to it in scope or influence. For one thing, "realism" is not a term strictly applicable to music. There are verismo (realistic) operas like Umberto Giordano's Andrea Chénier created in the last decade of the 19th century in Italy, but it is their plots rather than their music which can be said to participate in the movement toward realism. Since "pure" untexted music is not usually representational (with the controversial exception of "program" music), it cannot be said to be more or less realistic. In contrast, art may be said to have had many realistic aspects before this time. The still lifes and domestic art of Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin1 (1699-1779) anticipate many of the concerns of the 19th-Century Realists, and he in turn owes a debt to the Netherland school of still-life painting of the century before him, and one can find similar detailed renderings of everyday objects even on the walls of 1st-century Pompeii. Realism is a recurrent theme in art which becomes a coherent movement only after 1850; and even then it struggles against the overwhelming popularity of Romanticism. In mid-19th century France, Gustave Courbet2 set forth a program of realistic painting as a self-conscious alternative to the dominant Romantic style, building on earlier work by the painters of the Barbizon School (of which the most famous member was Jean-François Millet), which had attempted to reproduce landscapes and village life as directly and accurately as possible.
Surrealism and the surrealist movement is a ‘cultural’ movement that began around 1920’s, and is best known for its visual art works and writings. According to André Berton, the aim was “to resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality” (Breton 1969:14). Surrealists incorporated “elements of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and ‘non sequitur”. Hence, creating unnerving, illogical paintings with photographic precision, which created strange creatures or settings from everyday real objects and developed advanced painting techniques, which allowed the unconscious to be expressed by the self (Martin 1987:26; Pass 2011:30).
... The use of strong and bright light in Cubism, for example, points to Post Impressionism's role in influencing and affecting the art movement and its contribution in shaping how art is produced and critiqued based on the standards that it had set. Conclusion History repeats itself, and this is reflected in how Post Impressionism’s similarities with the earlier Impressionism act as proof of the cyclical nature of new things surfacing as a reaction to the old existing conditions. Impressionism and Post Impression gave the world a fine list of painters and an equally excellent collection of masterpieces which, when placed side by side, reveals the similarities of Post Impressionism and Impressionism and reflects the connection and relation of one art movement with the other.

Art deco was for the wealthy to have and that is why the hand proves it is about art deco, the large hand shows power which is what rich people had, and the gold in the hand shows the wealth because gold was for the rich. More evidence proving this was inspired by art deco is the font used in the poster which is used in many real life art deco posters. The font is usually big in art deco posters so it stands out from all the other posters, this makes it look nicer. Art deco posters tend to look really nice because a lot of effort is put into them with the artwork, to the font and the actual quality of the poster being high. This poster is nicely detailed with a lot of minor features that make it look nice.
Parallel to the scientific, technological, and social changes that have taken place in the 20th century are the rich varieties of art styles that have developed. Notable are the number of “isms”, such as Fauvism, expressionism, cubism, futurism, constructivism, neoplasticism, surrealism, precisionism.
