How has the image of the female nude been represented in modern art?

Posted by admin on January 25th, 2010 and filed under modern art | 4 Comments »

This is for my art history class that specializes in modern art. It also asks, what were the specific artistic, historical, and theoretical contexts that influenced modern artists in their approaches to the subject matter?

I haven’t taken Art History, so I can’t tell you much.
But be sure, no matter what, to include HUMANISM in your answer.

In the Renaissance, the focus of the artist shifted from an image of inhuman perfection (see older illustrations of Madonna and child in illuminated manuscripts and compare them to Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa) to a more realistic, human approach. Humanists looked back to Hellenistic art for inspiration. You’ll notice that, over a period of time, the focus of art shifted from religious figures to common people, and that their figures became more realistic.

It was in this period that the image of the bare human body shifted from sinful to holy. (Artists took into consideration a verse in the Bible that sTated that man was created in God’s image; thus, the human body is a work of perfection.)
No longer was nudity something to be hidden, but to be celebrated.

You might also note the change in the ‘ideal beauty’ of women. Over the course of time, the image of the ideal female face and figure was transformed. It shifted from very soft and refined to sharp and powerful, while still remaining feminine. This was highly inspired by the bust of Nefertiti discovered in the 20th Century.

As uncomfortable as it is to discuss, women and men alike are usually portrayed in artistic nudity without any body hair. If I remember correctly, this detail was developed- once again- in the Renaissance era. Artists and patrons alike saw body and pubic hair as a symbol of sexuality, so it was usually omitted to keep the image artistic and not erotic.

You might also want to look up a little bit of information on the Golden Ratio in the human body.

Overall, the image of the female nude has come to represent very human qualities and concepts; fertility, innocence (or lack thereof), temptation, celebration, etc.

EDIT::
I’ll just throw this out there: I really can’t stand it when people call artists perverts for studying the human figure. Welcome back to Elementary school, everyone.
Just because the Western world incorrectly portrays ‘nudity’ and ’sexuality’ as synonymous, doesn’t make artists perverts.
Artists have a tendency to see the human figure as something totally different than what everyone else sees it as. It’s something beautiful and mystifying.
Michelangelo didn’t have a hard on while he was sculpting the most beautiful and symbolic work of modern art, you dipshits.

Has anyone gone to the art institute of pittsburgh for culinary arts?

Posted by admin on January 14th, 2010 and filed under art institute | 1 Comment »

I don’t know what to think about the art institute of pittsburgh! I want to go there really bad. Im just not sure. Anyone have an opinion on this school?

I actually just got off the phone with someone from the Arts Institute of
Pittsburgh to talk about their Web Design Program. I was not real happy to find out it would cost me $20,000 just to get a diploma in Web Design! That’s just for a diploma!
I can go to my local community college and get a Web Diploma for about $7,000. A huge difference.
While I think it’s a good school, you can take classes elsewhere a lot cheaper.

Do you want to go broke taking out student loans?

Perhaps it’s a good idea to find a school that offers what you want at the cost you can afford. Also do not feel rushed into a quick sale with any school. Let them know you want to think about it. If they try to sign you up without giving you time then you know it’s a scam.

Do a search on Culinary Arts and you will come up with a lot of options. Find a school that specializes just in the Culinary Arts and you will probably get a better deal. I’m not saying not to go with AIP but be sure to give yourself time to think about all the pros and cons.

Good luck!
