The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art
1. Before art pieces were being made and called Lowbrow, it was known as pornography. It was a manifesto when it started, it had to do with surrealism, nudity, and a cartoon look. It is cartoon like. Artists take old pieces of work and re-create them to influence comics.
2. Lowbrow actually can relate to my art exhibition. Not with the whole idea or concept, but just within the nudity. In most Lowbrow artworks there is a human figure, which relates to my entire exhibit.
Tate Modern Video did not work or load.
An Acquiring Mind
1. Throughout this video several pieces of art were talked about. There was so much information I can not even remember it all. Otto Dix is an artist who does significant portraits. The MET has a great collection of work. Before an artwork can even be put on display, it has to be reviewed by several people during the acquisition process.
2. The actual individual artworks don't relate to my artwork, but the exhibition does. The gallery in the video shows me how to set up a gallery, where to place things, where to hang paintings, sculptures, etc...
3. The films are very informative. A lot of pieces of art are covered in these videos that I've seen, learned about or heard about in the past. The third video added depth to the concepts I had to think about while creating my gallery exhibition PowerPoint. The placement of every piece is important to setting up a gallery. One piece can make a gallery look completely off.
