Modernism in the arts assignment

MODERNISM IN THE ARTS

Claude Monet- Impression: Sunrise


This is an impressionist painting, which is used when the painter wants to express his own feelings, this painting is considered one of monet's most poetic expressions. I really like Monet's technique because I personally fond it very beautiful even though it is hard to understand since it comes from his own point of view and his own thoughts. 

Piet Mondrian - Composition with Yellow, Red, and Blue



This technique is called cubism, this painter did the same exact same thing in many different paintings: just lines and not a very wide variety of colors. I honestly do not understand art at all, because how come beautiful things do not get recognition and the things that are not special at all do? Sometimes I feel that art is sort of like society, it is not appreciated for what it is, but for what it is worth, but you know. Whatever. Cubism is not one of my favorite kind of expression of the arts. 

Charles Ives - The Fourth of July



This is a song that was created during modernism to express the patriotism that the americans had back then; it expresses freedom and the love that they had for they country and why it was important to celebrate their independence which is what this song is mainly about:4th of july, the independence day.
