form and elements hold art together
gestalt: proximity, closure, continuance, similarity
balance: symmetry, asymmetry: shape, texture, value, color, position-eye direction
scale, proportion, placement, isolation all go with gestalt and principles of organization
focal point- area of interest
we looked at phases of pablo picasso:
Woman Playing the Mandolin, 1909-repetition in shape, color. depth of shapes give form of other things
Guemica, 1937- even chaos throughout painting
Egon Schiele- one of the first expressionist (The Fighter 1913, Death and the Woman 1915)
George Grosz, The Lovesick Man, 1914- formal things holding it together: repetition of shapes, bald head, and tables
Otto Dix, Sylvia Von Harden, 1927- painted for the new woman, working woman, evenn though she wasnt pretty, beautys on the inside
