Class 22
In class today we we started off discussing the nuanced background of Frida Kahlo and how her mixed heritage influenced her art, she has a Hungarian Jewish father, and an indigenous Mexican mother. We also talked about her mental and physical sides as sh was serviearly disabled at a young age.
Then moving into purism, we looked at the glass current style of buildings, one example that I plan to visit is the Seagram Building. Then, in post war art, the idea of capturing motion in art is explored from recording motion with the dripping of paint to blurry objects. Positive and negative spaces balance and the weight of colors are delved into as well.
