I selected to review the movies Matisse & Picasso, A Sunday on La Grange Jatte, Expressionism, and The mystical North: Spanish Art From the 19th Century. I selected these videos to help widen my understanding on these areas in art history.
The video Matisse and Picasso is about the complicated relationship of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. I am especially interested of how Picasso uses color and shapes in his pieces. In addition, the video gives an overview of some of works by both artists.
A Sunday on La Grange Jatte analyzes Georges Seurat’s notable piece. The video creates a picture of many of the mysteries of the A Sunday on La Grange Jatte including the symbol of the little girl and monkey. I found this film to be quite interesting on how Seurat influenced classical art through this piece.
The video Expressionism gives an overview on the Expressionism movement. The video analyzes the works the works of Edvard Munch and Oslo Franz when discussing this movement. This video compliments the reading quite well.
The Mystical North: Spanish Art from the 19th Century to the Present was my favorite video. It gave an excellent overview of how Spanish art evolved throughout the 19th century.
Overall, the videos were quite enjoyable. Additionally, they complimented the reading quite well. They really widen my knowledge of the material.
