An ‘Ism’ Overview - Raw Art vs. Pop Art

In the 20th century, two movements emerged in the art world that challenged traditional notions of what art should look like: Raw art and Pop art. While Raw art celebrated the spontaneous and untrained creativity of outsider artists, Pop art celebrated the commercial and mass-produced culture of the 1950s and 60s. Despite their apparent differences, both Raw art and Pop art shared a common goal: to democratize the art world and make art accessible to a broader audience.

Raw art, also known as Outsider art or Art Brut, originated in the 1940s and 50s and was championed by artists like Jean Dubuffet. Raw art rejected the elitism and academicism of the art world and instead celebrated the work of untrained, self-taught artists who created art from their own inner worlds. These artists often used unconventional materials and techniques and were inspired by their own personal experiences rather than the dominant art movements of their time.

In contrast, Pop art emerged in the 1950s and 60s and celebrated the mass-produced, commercial culture of post-war America. Pop artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein used images and objects from popular culture, such as advertisements, comic books, and everyday objects, to create their art. They sought to blur the boundaries between high and low culture and to challenge the idea that art had to be serious and intellectual.

Despite their differences, both Raw art and Pop art were subversive movements that challenged the status quo. Raw art rejected the traditional standards of art-making, while Pop art challenged the idea that art had to be original and expressive. Both movements sought to democratize the art world and to make art accessible to a broader audience.

One key difference between Raw art and Pop art, however, is their relationship to authenticity. Raw art celebrated the authenticity of the artist's personal experience, while Pop art celebrated the authenticity of mass-produced images and objects. Raw art was often raw and unpolished, while Pop art was often slick and polished.

Another difference between the two movements is their relationship to the art establishment. Raw art rejected the art establishment and its elitism, while Pop art sought to critique and subvert it from within. Pop artists like Warhol and Lichtenstein gained commercial success and critical acclaim, blurring the boundaries between high and low culture, while Raw artists remained on the margins of the art world.

In conclusion, Raw art and Pop art may seem like two very different movements, but they shared a common goal of democratizing the art world and making art accessible to a broader audience. While Raw art celebrated the personal authenticity of outsider artists, Pop art celebrated the authenticity of mass-produced images and objects. Both movements challenged traditional notions of what art should look like and sought to create a more inclusive and diverse art world.

Releasing Today, Mar 4 2024!

Space Will is a topdown action roguelike where you build a ship with grid based bits. It's like the board game Galaxy Trucker had a video game child.

Afterworld is a neat RPGMaker game where you explore the afterworld and collect animal spirits. I like that it uses its own art assets.

The Gauntlet is an FPS precision platformer. I like the solid bright colors and like the TV show theming.

Bullet Bunny is a rogue-like twin stick shooter with sprite art. There's a bit too much going on in the screenshots for me, but I know other people like these.

Hazy Mind is a psychological horror visual novel about someone who woke in their up with no memories. Read the mature content description, there's some dark territory trodden here.

I may or may not be legally obligated to like games with names in the sixties - but Sixty Four has a lot going for it. It's like a combination of a clicker and a strategy building game like Factorio. I like that it has some kind of story that explains why (or at least I hope it tries to) there are machines and weird rocks, and cubes in the void. It might need an invert colors button if it doesn't have one though.

I feel that theres a lot of art movements such as fauvism or post-impressionism or art brut or expressionism or probably a whole lot more that in not well versed in that fit VERY well into Tumblr's whole ideology atm.

The moment a ballerina with Alzheimer's returned to Swan Lake 🩰 A Spanish charity which uses music to improve the lives of dementia patients has released a video of Alzheimer’s patient Martina Gonzalez, a former ballerina, who is transformed as she listens to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Ms Gonzalez, who spent her final days in a care home in Valencia, passed away in 2019, shortly after this video was filmed. Credit: Spanish charity, Asociacion Musica para Despertar (Music Association for Awakening). A former ballerina with Alzheimer's hears 'Swan Lake' and bursts into dance in her wheelchair Annie Reneau 11.13.20 A former ballerina with Alzheimer's hears 'Swan Lake' and bursts into dance in her wheelchair Felipe Tristan/Twitter Sometimes a video comes along that yanks us right us out of the frustrating fray or mundane monotony of the moment and reminds us of the miraculous gift that life truly is. This is one of those. Marta Cinta González Saldaña was an accomplished ballerina when she was young. Now, in her waning years, she suffers from Alzheimer's. A viral video of González Saldaña shows how she reacts to hearing the music from Swan Lake—a ballet she had performed decades ago. Alternating scenes show her dancing from her wheelchair and a ballerina performing the dance on stage. (Some versions of the video have stated or implied that the young ballerina is González Saldaña herself. It's not.) The contrast of the stage performance and her memories clearly bursting forth in her face and body movements is incredibly moving. It's amazing how music, dance, art—the universal language of humanity—can remain, even when other memories fade or get locked away. 🩰 Just watch, sound up: 🩰 Seriously though. Break out the tissues. The video came about as part of a study being done by the Spanish organization "Music to Awaken," which studies how music impacts patients with dementia. Pepe Olmedo, a psychologist and director of the organization, told Brut that she was selected for the study because of her background as a dancer. "We searched for the songs she'd danced on when she was young," he said, "even songs where she was the prima ballerina. Luckily, we had writings of hers from the past where she recounted several songs. In the end, the day when we met her, she appeared sad, nervous at times, and we didn't know how effective this would be. But as she listened to 'Swan Lake'—that was the first song she listened to—she completely transformed, and it seems like part of her mind traveled to another moment of her life." Olmedo pointed out that science has proven that some areas of the brain related to musical memory are less damaged by diseases such as Alzheimer's than other parts of the brain. "Our brain is wired to be receptive to music," he says, and "music is totally linked to emotions." It's the emotion that Olmedo says is important for people with dementia to feel to help connect them with the moments in their lives. 🩰 Ballerina with Alzheimer's Gets Back Memory of Her Swan Lake Dance Routine www.youtube.com 🩰 Absolutely amazing. What a beautiful reminder of the magic of music and a hopeful study for people with loved ones who feel like they are slipping away. No matter how crazy our political chaos gets or how tedious our daily tasks feel, these examples of raw human beauty can help bring us back to what truly matters. 💖 🩰 💖 🩰 💖 https://www.upworthy.com/former-ballerina-with-alzheimers-bursts-into-dance-upon-hearing-swan-lake

I also want to mention that AI art isn't the only one democratizing art ??

Namely the naive art movement and art brut (litteralt raw art), who were both characterized by art that was made by people with no art training (they didn't care about perspective or anatomy) and would often even emulate child drawings. Art brut would work with zero cultural references or knowledge

Some visuals :

Adolf Wölfli's Irren-Anstalt Band-Hain, 1910

Jean Dubuffet, Group of Four Trees (1972) pictured in April 2023

Also the villa Falbala because I love it

I'm also adding this article about self-taught artists because, once again, you can be a famous artist with no formal training : https://www.contemporaryartissue.com/top-10-self-taught-artists-of-the-contemporary-era/

Tldr : artists have been saying for decades if not more that art should be for everyone regardless of if they went through art school or not, and many famous ones didn't go or dropped out themselves

Can't afford art school?

After seeing post like this 👇

And this gem 👇

As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.

Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.

📺Here is my list:

Proko (Free)

Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)

Aaron Rutten (free)

BoroCG (free)

Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)

Jesus Conde (free)

Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)

Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)

SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)

Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)

The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)

Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)

Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.

📚Here is my list:

The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.

"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.

"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.

"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.

"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.

"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.

"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.

"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.

"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.

Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.

As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.

For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.

💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.

Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)

Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)

Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)

PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)

Krita (Free)

mypaint (free)

FireAlpaca (free)

Libresprite (free, for pixel art)

Those are the ones I can recall.

So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.

I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.

Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

Chrysalis premiere 11.12.13. March 2024 studio brut / imagetanz festival

By fusing the animated and the inanimate, Yoh Morishita’s performance Chrysalis creates an incarnation of the absurd. We see a body infested with a variety of materials: mussels, horn, tentacles, synapses, tubers, claws, and rhizomes. This body is mutating all the time, nothing ever fits together. And it withstands the forces eager to eliminate diversity. It eludes oppression by altering its shape or slipping away from it altogether and leaving behind only skin. Like a pupated insect about to hatch.

In Chrysalis, Yoh Morishita ponders on how organisms and people change. She embodies a process of metamorphosis that perceives life as a dynamic equilibrium. Different types of movement appear simultaneously at the various body parts, creating a fatuous coherence of the animated and the inanimate. Existing orders are constantly being dissolved and created anew. Where will this slowly evolving sequence of images lead us? If change is the essence of life, how much do we allow ourselves to change? How do we feel about strange beings and objects? And who are ‘we’ anyway?

Chrysalis addresses and processes various questions around change. Lithuanian artist/composer Marija Jociūtė creates an electronic soundscape for the piece that inspires communication between all those involved. An uncanny world looms before us!

Concept and performance Yoh Morishita Live sound and music Marija Jociūtė Lighting design Leo Kuraitė Costume design Lisa Knoll Outside eye and ear Camilla Schielin, Julia Müllner, Magdalena Forster, Dominik Morishita-Leitner

An ‘Ism’ Overview – Outsider Art vs. Dadaism

I have always been fascinated by the ways in which artists push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable or mainstream. Two movements that have particularly intrigued me are Outsider Art and Dadaism. Although they emerged in different times and contexts, these movements share a common thread of rebellion against traditional artistic norms. In this essay, I will compare and contrast Outsider Art and Dadaism, examining the similarities and differences between these two groundbreaking movements.

Outsider Art, also known as Art Brut, refers to art created by individuals who are self-taught or outside the mainstream art world. Outsider artists often work in isolation, using unconventional materials and techniques to express their personal visions. The term “Outsider Art” was coined by French artist Jean Dubuffet in the 1940s, who believed that these artists had an authentic and pure approach to creativity that was not tainted by the influence of established artistic traditions.

Dadaism, on the other hand, emerged in Europe during World War I as a response to the absurdity and horror of war. Dada artists rejected traditional aesthetic values and instead embraced chaos, nonsense, and anti-art. The movement’s name is derived from the French word “dada,” which means “hobbyhorse” or “child’s toy,” reflecting its playful and irreverent spirit.

Despite their differences in origin and philosophy, Outsider Art and Dadaism share a number of similarities. Both movements sought to challenge established artistic norms and to push the boundaries of what was considered acceptable or “normal” in art. Both were characterized by a rejection of conventional aesthetics in favor of more experimental and unconventional approaches. And both movements were driven by a desire to express personal visions that were not necessarily rooted in external reality.

At the same time, there are also some notable differences between Outsider Art and Dadaism. One of the key differences is that Outsider Art is often deeply personal and expressive, reflecting the inner worlds of the artists who create it. By contrast, Dadaism is more concerned with undermining and subverting existing social and artistic structures, and its works often have a more confrontational and satirical edge.

Another difference is that Outsider Art often emerges from a place of isolation or marginalization, while Dadaism was a deliberately collective movement that sought to disrupt and transform the social and cultural landscape of its time. Outsider artists often work alone, using whatever materials and techniques are available to them, while Dada artists worked collaboratively and often engaged in public performances and protests.

In conclusion, Outsider Art and Dadaism are two fascinating and important artistic movements that share a common impulse towards rebellion and experimentation. Both movements have had a profound impact on the course of 20th-century art and continue to inspire and challenge artists today. While their differences are significant, they ultimately represent different facets of the same impulse towards creative freedom and individual expression that lies at the heart of all great art.

losing face

// own work dance performance

+ art direction, concept, choreography + dance & performance

losing face by Cat Jimenez in collaboration with Imani Rameses, Sebastian Youngung Kim, Miranda Rumerstorfer

losing face takes a deep dive into the convoluted interweavings of the colonial mindset. Compliance is but a small price to pay for an illusion of a quiet existence, but when does existence become submission?

Four non-white performers from a variety of movement backgrounds negotiate their place in a predominantly white country - a supposed harmony. Yet, the living portrayal of harmony invites more dissonance making the lullaby of indifference an enchanting tune. Are the performers able to unlearn and untangle oneself from being made to feel less? The more one tries to save face one loses it even more.

losing face dances through contradictions of colored truths, negotiating the rhythms of an undeniable urgency.

definitions

Colonial mindset A condition in which an oppressed individual or group comes to believe that they are inferior to those in power or who are part of the dominant group. Colonial mindset is a form of internalized oppression.

Internalized oppression, or internalized colonialism, is a concept in which an oppressed group uses the methods of the oppressor against itself. It occurs when one group perceives an inequality of value relative to another group, and desires to be like the more highly-valued group.

Lateral oppression, or lateral violence, is displaced violence directed against one’s peers rather than adversaries.

examples

- as BIPoC in a predominantly white country voting for the right wing party - the promotion of whitening cream as being “clean” within black and/or brown communities - the belief of the own culture as being vulgar and/or ignorant in pre-colonial times - agreeing to physical/verbal violence directed to one's own community - and many more….

Brutalism

Brutalism is an architectural style that places emphasis textures, materials, construction, expression, practicality, and utilitarianism. The style is often characterised by its rough textures, hard edges, rigid geometric shapes, blocky appearances, lack of decoration, simple graphic lines, monochromatic colour palette, and an almost monolithic sense of presence. Scale was a large aspect of brutalist  architecture. In addition, brutalism made use of unusual shapes that can easily be differentiated through the use of light and shadow (contrast). Brutalism is memorable and takes up space. Think of a skyscraper: its immense size, the way it takes up space in the open sky, and the way it forever alters your view of the skyline. 

Common materials used in brutalist architecture include raw concrete (its most important stylistic motif), brick, glass, steel, and stone. 

The term ‘Brutalism’ is derived from the phrase ‘Béton brut,’ which means raw concrete. Brutalist architecture can be observed as far back as the 1940s, with the first example being Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseilles, France.

The style emerged during the 20th century modernist movement, with the term first being coined in 1949 by Swedish architect Hans Asplun to describe the Villa Göth in Uppsala. The term was then popularised in 1955 when it was used by architectural historian Reyner Banham, when reviewing a school at Hunstanton, Norfolk.

The style grew in popularity through the 1950s and ‘60s, and became the favoured form of architecture for government buildings. 

Brutalism as a philosophy focused on bringing modern, developed, almost utopian environments to life. This was a post-WWII era, where urban reconstruction was a pressing matter. Many of the European cities were damaged by bombs and the end of a World War meant a population boom for the US and Europe. This meant that architects needed to design large scale institutional buildings as well as high density affordable residential complexes. The 1950s and 60s was also a time of great technological and social development, creating this culture of optimism and hope for a better future. This zeitgeist was reflected in brutalism; with the movement focusing on functionality and community, and becoming synonymous with socially progressive housing plans that depicted the modern utopian buildings of the future. 

Brutalism eventually fell out of style in the 1980s and ‘90s, when the architecture became associated with urban decay, crime, social depravity, economic hardship, and anti-environmentalism. This was partially due to the fact that the raw concrete did not age well, often being prone to decay and water damage. The style also began to be seen as cold, alienating, and lacking in humanity. In addition, due to the architecture being adopted by the Soviet Union, the style began to become associated with totalitarianism, dictatorship, and social control/conformity. This was the period of the Cold War, and therefore the height of the Red Scare, thus creating a widespread fear of communism in the west that Brutalism unfortunately suffered from. 

The Brutalist Playground (2015)

Simon Terrill collaborated with Assemble to create a brutalist art installation that “recreated a trio of post-war play structures out of foam.” The installation was displayed at the Royal British Institute of British Architects gallery. The playground was inspired by the Churchill Gardens in Pimlico, the Brownfield Estate in Poplar, and the Brunel Estate in Paddington. Terrill recreated these structures using colourful foam. 

Simon Terrill

Simon Terrill is an Australian artist based in London who is preoccupied by the relationship between architecture and the narratives and stories we construct around these spaces. He explores how spaces are constructed and informed by the people that inhabit it. 

This greatly relates to our study of heterotopias, as a primary characteristic of heterotopias is how it is constructed as a closed off space for specific social functions, and how it changes over time as society changes around it.
