TECHNICAL DREAMING - original art

$900.00

Inspired by a random basquiat piece, I decided to replace elements of the painting with my own objects while retaining the original symmetry between objects in the original paitning.

I would classify this as #PopSurrealism

This is your sign to go do some adventurous learning and go to a museum 🏛 I went to the AIC over the weekend for class and saw many cool medieval things! Lots of reliquaries mostly, various kinds of armor, and some interesting if slightly funny paintings. #studygram #study #studymotivation #studymotivations #studyabroad #studying #studynotes #studyblr #studytime #studytips #studyhistory #studying📚 #artinstituteofchicago #aic #medievaltimes #medievalart #medievalhistory #historylovers #historyfacts #reliquary #armsandarmor #història #artmuseums #studyaccount #studyaesthetic #historynerd #historylesson #historygram #ancienthistory #studygramsbeatthealgorithm (at The Art Institute of Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co75qz_uhUt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

James Abbott McNeill Whistler

James Abbott McNeill Whistler participated in the artistic ferment of Paris and London in the late nineteenth century, crafted a distinctive style from diverse sources, and arrived at a version of Post-Impressionism in the mid-1860s a time when most of his contemporaries in the avant-garde were still exploring Realism and Impressionism. 

Whistler was greatly influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites paintings and he also shared his enthusiasm for Japanese prints and blue-and-white porcelain. Initially, he merely included Asian costumes and accessories as props in his works but, by the mid-1860s, he adopted Japanese principles of composition and spatial organization. It is worth noting that Whistler invented a monogram signature—a stylized butterfly based on his initials—and always placed it deliberately as a compositional element, not just a maker’s mark. His devotion to overall harmony extended to interior decoration, furniture, and the design of frames and even entire exhibitions. 

In 1870s Whistler produced a series of Nocturnes to convey a sense of beauty and tranquillity by night. For him ‘a nocturne is an arrangement of line, form, and colour first.’
