Abstract or Non Objective Art, Artist Georgia O'Keefe

I do not know when I will post my blog next as my computer is being fixed.

U. S. artist, Georgia O’Keefe (1887-1986) was known for paintings that leaned in the direction of abstraction. Her above painting, Red Amaryllis (1937) shows her color contrasts between the flower and background. The painting supports abstraction. In abstract art, artists base their forms on natural objects. Their abstractions can vary from a likeness to the object to non familiar forms. Abstract art is different from non-objective art. Non-objective art is based on the artist’s imagination and not derived from anything the artist perceived.

Artist Seurat's Scientific Style of Painting, The Can-Can

This painting by French artist, Georges Seurat is Le Chahut (The Can- Can, 1889-1890). Here, post impressionist artist, Seurat (1859 – 1891) used his scientific brand of painting centred on rules. In a prior post I wrote about his pointillist style, painting dots of broken color optically mixed by the viewer’s eyes. In this painting Seurat also used diagonal directions to generate happiness and move the viewers. The diagonal directions of the dancers’ legs are repeated in the direction of the instruments and the eyes and mouths of the dancers. The warm yellow hues are enhanced by the cool blue in the shadows.
