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.

Starting experimenting with photography

After looking into the work of Henry Weston i decided to try and experiment,first, with negative space. It was something that stood out to me a lot in some of his work, as i spoke about in my report. i started by just taking a few pictures as i noticed it around me. I think these are a very interesting start and have a lot of potential, i decided to play around with the editing a bit by cropping them, changing the contrast and making them black and white.  i like this image and i think composition wise it works. i also think it looks good in black and white as it has gotten rid of the chance of clashing colours and sets a different kind of mood. The subject is in focus and it looks quite sharp. I cropped it a little and changed the contrast and exposure.  i prefer this image to the top one as i like the spacing between the feet compared to the first one i think it is more visually pleasing, i also rotated this image just as an experiment. ...

Art & Design Portfolio - Sam Cornwell (Digital)

I decided to start my research on paper based and digital portfolios by first looking at a digital portfolio. One artist who came into the college to do a talk was a photographer called Sam Cornwell, he took us through his digital portfolio. I wanted to think about why his portfolio was digital and not paper based. One of the biggest advantages of a digital portfolio is the accessibility of it. It is easy to send out to employers or people wishing to view it. It is digital so it can easily be send to someone via email or put on a USB and accessed that way. Another reason is unlike a paper based portfolio there is more than one, it is easy to dispatch without spending money on paper to print. It is also instant, you might have to wait a few days for a paper port folio to be sent by mail or spend money on travel to bring it to the person wishing to view it. With a digital portfolio one click and it is sent! I went onto Sam Cornwell's page and found out his portfolio is on his web...
