I was familiar with Picasso and a little part of his art before watching these videos: whenever I thought of Picasso, I immediately thought the word “abstraction”. I was impressed by Picasso’s creativity of his art but I always had and have a big question mark on every single piece of his paintings, therefore I am not much interested in those. However, I learned a lot after watching this video. I learn more about Picasso and the abstraction of his art, I am also amazed to learn that he was kind of “disconnected from the world,… never being polite…”; therefore, I am thinking of learning more about Picasso art to solve the questions marks that I have always had. In the other hand, Pollock is totally new to me. My very first thought of his painting was messiness and unmeaning. In fact, as I watched the video streaming dividing Pollock’s painting into small piece, I somehow disagreed and feel frustrated with his art, but my eyes opened wide seeing the complete painting: there was not neither connection nor the fine sketch lines, but the curves and the effect of pains made a beautiful messy. I could feel the depth of Pollock’s thought through his art, but I don’t quite understand it and his personality. Lastly, about Warhol: I am familiar with pop art and I admire it, but I did not know about the founder Warhol. The definition of modern art to me has always been pop art for the best example, and I imagined its father must be standard and stylist, but Warhol’s personality somehow disappointed me. There is a lot of new knowledge that I learned from this video; even though not all of them are good and expected, but I now realize the beauty of art doesn’t lie in the boundaries between lines, it lies within the artists’ way of expression and the thought they put into their paintings.
1. Was Picasso’s art loved in 1950?
2. Why was Jackson Pollock was so popular? What makes the unique of his painting?
3. Why was Warhol so obsessed being a star?
4. What was the common between Picasso’s and Warhol’s art?
