Polykleitos | Doryphoros

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2023/12/15

Around 450 BCE as Polykleitos walked the dusty streets of Argos, art and philosophy intertwined. The Greeks of the classical era produced works that artists and scholars still admire today. Polykleitos, however, sought more than admiration; he pursued perfection. It was an obsession that would echo through the ages. Unfortunately, all that’s left of Polykleitos and his life’s work are echoes, the Roman marble copies of his sculptures remain long after Polykleitos’s original bronze works were melted

2023/12/11

Many know the image of Paris Street; Rainy Day, but somehow far fewer know the artist who painted it, Gustave Caillebotte. He was born in Paris in the mid 19th century just as massive changes were happening in urban development as well as with technology and society more generally. Caillebotte inherited a fortune that allowed him to follow his passion for art without needing to worry about what would sell. He loved the new style of the Impressionists and he not only exhibited with them, he supported

2023/12/08

Max Beckmann was a German painter born on February 12, 1884. While he is often associated with the expressionist movement, he actually rejected that label. He was a part of the New Objectivity movement which shared some similarities with expressionists, but while the expressionists sought to portray their inner self for the world to see, the new objectivity movement was outward looking holding a mirror up to the world expressing the state of society as the artist saw it. In his painting The Night

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2023/12/01

Louis Prang not only started the company that makes some of my favorite art classroom supplies, he created the artist's color wheel and introduced Christmas cards to America. Prang was in the lithography business. He had learned to produce high quality full color lithographs at a time when most printers would make black and white prints then add color by hand if needed. He found success printing cards and maps during the American Civil War. He also made prints of great works of art by painters

2023/11/27

Tom DesLongchamp is an incredible multidisciplinary artist, but it is his marker drawings that caught my attention. Tom has long felt the drive to create and he creates a new artwork in some form every day. Years ago, he began creating a series of daily portraits of his friend, Mike. After creating daily sketches for a while, he wanted to add color. He looked around his office and found a simple Crayola marker on the floor. He began using his fingertips as stamps to apply the ink in a way that gave

Scientists have discovered some fossilized impressions of hand and footprints they estimate to be well over 100,000 years old.

Man Ray | Ingres's Violin

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2023/11/20

Man Ray was a pioneer of cameraless photography. His signature technique was the "Rayograph" created by placing objects directly onto light-sensitive paper often manipulating them during exposure. Of course, that was not his only trick. Man Ray experimented with solarisation and in his piece Ingres's Violin, he painted on a photograph, then took another picture of the manipulated image.

Victor Vasarely and Op Art

2023/11/17

Victor Vasarely was a Hungarian-French artist known for his innovative style and contributions to the Op Art movement. One of Vasarely's most famous works is "Zebra," created in 1937. This painting showcases his ability to create optical illusions through the use of black and white stripes. When viewed from a distance, the stripes appear to vibrate and create a sense of movement. This technique, known as the "Vasarely effect," became a hallmark of his style. The Zebra painting is considered to be

Introducing: The Art of Crime

2023/11/13

As a podcast listener, a few topics I enjoy are obviously art and history, but I also like true crime and really anything with a compelling story. The Art of Crime hosted by Gavin Whitehead is an incredible podcast that brings all of that together. Longtime listeners have no doubt noticed my love of modernism and my fascination with how World War 2 reshaped the art world. Today I wanted to share an episode of The Art of Crime all about Otto Dix and the attempted assassination of Hitler. I don’t want

Wolfgang Beltracchi - The Art of Fraud

2023/11/06

Wolfgang Beltracchi is possibly the most artful forgers ever to have gotten into the game. While most would create a forgery by meticulously copying every line, shape and color in a known masterpiece, Beltracchi studied the artist then made his own original compositions imagining what the artist would have painted. In this episode, I talked to my fellow art teacher and art crime enthusiast, Emily Fiedler. I showed her two works, one by Beltracchi, and one by Campendonk. I labeled them painting A and

Kawaii and Hello Kitty

2023/11/03

Kawaii is a Japanese word translating to something like "cute" or "adorable" but it is much more than that. While kawaii figures tug at the heartstrings with their big eyes and baby-like proportions making them seem helpless and vulnerable, kawaii can also represent a rebellious spirit.

2023/10/27

The Bauhaus was a small but enormously influential art school in the 1930s. It was known for producing architecture and industrial design with clean lines, simple shapes and an emphasis on function. Still, when they weren't working on practical designs for functional art, they had wild, elaborate costume parties. Learn a bit about the Bauhaus.

Hans Holbein the Younger | The Ambassadors

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2023/10/23

Hans Holbein the Younger painted The Ambassadors in 1533. It is a massive, life sized double portrait filled with symbolism that gives us insights into the political and religious upheaval of the day. Still today, it is probably best known for the anamorphic skull cutting across the floor in the composition. In the Ambassadors, Holbein presents the symbol of mortality as a specter that looms ever present though sometimes difficult to make sense of. It can feel like an odd intrusion disrupting a

William Mulmer was born in 1832. For historical context, the oldest known Daguerrotype is from 1837, so Mulmer was born right around the same time as photography, and he loved the new medium, but started off as a hobbyist. Mulmer worked as a jewelry engraver, but in his spare time, he liked taking photographs of his family and friends. In 1860 though, he took a selfie that would change the course of his life. In his self portrait, he noticed something strange. There appeared to be a ghost behind

I was joined once again, by my good friend, Chuck Hoff who teaches art at the middle school my students feed into.
