Art 101 So, you might have been in this situation before: You take a date to a museum and have no idea what you are talking about. You want to come off as a cultured man who appreciates good art, but you have nothing to say. Well, I might be able to help you out a little bit in this situation. At the very least I’ll let you know how to differentiate what style of art you encounter. There are dozens of artistic styles out there, however, learning about a few art movements will get you started. The most common styles are Abstract, Cubism, Expressionism, Impressionism, Pop Art and Surrealism. Abstract artists commonly use color and shapes in their paintings to show emotion instead of showing objects exactly as they appear in real life. Jackson Pollock is the main artist that jumps to mind in the Abstract style of art. Most often it looks like the artist just splattered paint on the canvas, but there is a purpose to it. Pollock was attempting to get in to an automatic state of mind where the paint would flow onto the canvas in a stream of conscious application. Cubism, on the other hand, uses geometric shapes to break down reality and put it back together again. Neither style is meant to look realistic. There is a blurry line between Abstract and Cubism, because Cubism evolved into Abstract when they started to use brighter colors in 1914. Picasso is far and beyond the most famous of the Cubists. With Expressionism, the artist uses shape and color to express emotion. Some of these famous artists include Chagall and Kandinsky. The artist is able to capture emotion by twisting the reality represented in the painting. Expressionism is commonly confused with Impressionism, even though they are completely unrelated. Impressionism is known for its lack of detail. It is as if the artist glanced at an object only for a moment and then painted it. The paintings are traditionally in bold colors and are of iridescent landscapes. Monet and Renoir were the leading figures of this movement. Pop Art is just any every day item that is drawn in a brash and colorful way. The item is usually taken out of its normal context and shown either by itself or in combination with other objects for effect. Warhol is the most famous Pop artist and one of the most popular American artists. Lastly, Surrealist paintings are based on dreams and filled with familiar objects painted to look strange or mysterious. These artists painted in this way hoping to capture thought in its rawest form, without the framework of reality. Dali and Rousseau were the main proponents of this artistic style. These are definitely not the only styles of art out there, and you could quite possibly be blindsided and not know what to say. But, remember, good art is supposed to bring out certain feelings and emotions of its viewers. All you have to do is identify the emotions the art evokes in you and express them to your date. If you have trouble doing that, just watch her reactions and play off of them. Either way, you come off looking sensitive and knowledgeable.
