In college we are looking at links between art movements and how they have influenced artists today i decided to look at Fauvism and cubism to start it off.
It was produced by a group of artists from 1905 to 1910, it uses strong contrasting colours and heavy brushwork. When critic Louis Vauxcelles saw the work of Henri Matisse and Andre Derain he said there work was like les fauves (‘the wild beasts’) which coined the name fauvism.

Fauvism:
 Cristopher Kane Matisse inspired dress - La Danza
Cristopher Kane dress inspired by Matisse's Blue Nude.

Sonia Delaunay designs always contained a juxtaposition of geometric shapes and squares from Cubism, and colours and distortions from Fauvism. Her designs were popular within the French film industry, with actresses including Nancy Cunard and Gloria Swanson I love that these combine two of the movements i am looking into.







 Lulu's.com outfit is inspired by Fauvism art.








Cubism: Cubism was created by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 1914. By breaking objects and figures down the artists showed different viewpoints at the same time within the same space, suggesting their three dimensional form, Highlighting the two dimensional flatness of a canvas, instead of creating the illusion of depth. 

 Fashion photographer Eugenio Recuenco created a photo series inspired by famous Cubism portraits. The fashion photographs draw from the postures,moods and clothing of the paintings, each offering something unique. 







Another Photographer inspired by cubism is Christian Tagliavini, Swiss-Italian designer and photographer, created a collection of images influenced by cubism, 17th century, and 50s fashion. He creates cardboard and paper constructions from scratch. http://www.christiantagliavini.com/



I actually came across these when i was researching for another project i am working on, i was looking into table ware and i discovered these designed by Svetlana Koženová and produced in a small factory in the Czech town of Dubí.
The company Specializes in Czech cubism-inspired tableware and accessories, the company was founded by Laura Kubica Grigerova.

When i was a kid, i got asked to produce a drawing that expressed Autumn, the winner got the work in a calendar for the school. I worked and i worked on this drawing, expressing my feelings of Autumn. I won. I told my Mum and Dad that they could buy the calendar with my work in it, i was so proud. I showed my parents my work, and although they were happy for me told me they that although it was good, my sister's new drawing of a bird was better... more realistic. Through out all of my childhood and teenage years, i was told i was not as good as my sister and to this day i still do. I would constantly compare my work to hers, and eventually i gave up art completely. I had a pang of jealousy when i would see other peoples art work, and suppress the jealous feeling towards my sister and the anger i felt towards my parents. I felt even more guilt and as i grew i built up this wall around myself, i put on a mask of a confident girl, who did not feel jealousy, sadness or frustrat...

Dada Collage part 2

I released i was trying to copy Hannah Hoch's    Das Schone Madchen/ beautiful girl collage instead of understanding it so i decided to research the artists and this peace of work i found out this is a photomontage made in the 1920's that deals with gender issues amidst the dawning of Germany’s New Woman. the hair and womans body is looking at beauty trends and expectations in women of that time and the Car parts are contrasting with the way society looks at women, even today. I started noting similarities in what i felt Hoch was trying to say was the modern women in the 20's and what is a modern woman today. trying to keep similar colours and tone, i chose a modern day hair style as well as a measuring tape and lipstick to suggest modern day female beauty standards, i chose the black and white woman at the top for minimalism but put the iconic 2015 brows over the top, i kept the BMW badge but c hanged it to the 2015 one as i felt their is still an ...

View point Task 1.

Conduct market research into the range of publications available for the target age group . Free and for sale. Contemporary and historical sources - visual and non - visual.  I wanted to start my research with a range of publications. At this point i am unsure where i am going / what i want to do so i thought i would just start with exploring a wide range of publications as the brief says to try and find my interest. I started with a well known magazine that 18 - 30 year olds would look at, i thought about interests and started with fashion.  Vogue  I liked this cover above because it is very minimal, and i think that is more stylish and clean looking. I like the black and white look and the muted tones in it, like the title 'Vogue' i think works really well with the black and white. The magazine usually has more type in it.... I thought this was a good example of what an issue of vogue usually looks like, it is still quite minimal and loo...
