Jon Klee's Influence On Modern Society
It seem's that Klee created a genre of painting and sketches for many other impressionistic artists which gave them an impetus to develop Klee's creative thinking further and take it to their own new levels of realization, expression and subsequently new understandings of the modern society we live in and share together as a race of people. It would be amazing to know what artists and indeed the general public of his generation actually though of his work when it was first exposed to them? I suppose we could think of Klee's work as a kind of art mapology of it's time for the artistic generations that would emerge

    Van Gogh’s piece is an appropriate example of the techniques and generally consensus of the Post-Impressionism era in art, and similarly, Klimt’s piece is the same for the Art Nouveau era. Both of these pieces highlights the different movements in art being the more realistic yet abstract use in colors. In my opinion, I find value in both of these pieces because of the use of colors and painting styles. Personally, I am a big fan of Klimt pieces, and their use of color and delicate brushwork. I also enjoy Van Gogh’s work for its texture and the emotional aspect you can feel through his paintings. Both works have their own unique aspects that make them enjoyable for viewers, and both evoke strong feelings through their specific…

    Clement Greenberg (1909-1994) was possibly the most prominent and influential art critic of the twenty-first century. Greenberg’s intensely influential focus was on the notion of “formal purity” and how that affected the work itself in a painting just being a painting and “orientating itself to flatness” as modernist paintings had. Additionally, Clement Greenberg found interest in Abstract Expressionism and how Greenberg’s strictly outlined theories on art would inspire artists of the Minimalist and Pop Art movements to respond in kind with their own art as a rebuttal.…

    Michael Kreyling had impacted the critics by inventing Southern Literature. His ideal creation was not to reflect on literature being invented, but to differentiate the word “Southren” into an adjective. Kreyling’s attempted to deny the South its culture, history, geography, and literature by modifying the adjective to “Southern.” Prior to Germany and Italy collaborating, literature was at its best in 1835. Kreyling made several attempts to modify the identity of the Southern Culture by intentionally focusing on the negative aspects.…

    Henri Rousseau

    I would classify Henri Rousseau as a post-impressionist painter who painted in a naïve manner. Different sources classify him into different art periods. Post-impressionism is a period of art that lasted between 1880 and 1910. Impressionism, which lasted between 1860 and 1900, was the predecessor of Post-Impressionism. In my opinion Impressionism is a reflection to some extent of how society worked during the 19th century. After my research it appears that life in 19th century France was divided into significant social classes and image was a very important as most aspired an aristocratic lifestyle. “Of Impressionism they say, pretty like a bird signs, but no significant content.” The art during the Impressionism period could be a reflection of society, as it is very beautiful, but lacks self-expression. One piece of work looks like the other. Post-impressionism is a response to the social issues that occurred during that time and felt like prisoners of social standard. They started on the fringes of Impressionism, but struggled for self-expression. To find escape they turned to more primitive painting. The exotic became very appealing, as it was so different from what they knew. Even though not all artists during the 19th century painted primitive art like Henri Rousseau or Paul Gauguin, a great deal of painters were influenced by African tribal art and Japanese silk paintings like Vincent van Gogh for example.…

    The work of Langston Hughes impacted many, so much so that people felt it was important to continue on his legacy years after his death. The Langston Hughes Society is an example of a group who works to preserve his legacy through presentations, events, and speakers who have felt a connection to Hughes’ work. This group of scholars teachers, creative writers, and performing artists strive to raise awareness about the work he has done (“Society”).
