visual grammar

 Art lovers must have the catalogue of Picasso. And, I guess, that they must enjoy searching digital images of Picasso.  They know "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" is not best work among Cubist paintings. Twentieth-century art theory was incomplete, focusing only on a small number of museum collections. The essence of a work of art is the shape of the image. The original work is not important.   The brilliant idea of ​​[ art in the age of technological reproduction] was never put into practice. A rt studies were limited almost exclusively to works that were featured in the commercial art world. Art lovers who collect and enjoy digital images may be a new breed.   Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" is popuar because it is only a large oil painting at the Museum of Modern Art, but there are plenty of structurally interesting works to be found online. Let's take a look at the two works from 1907. Picasso "Female nude with arms raised/...

  According to Alfred Barr's diagram, artworks evolve and become abstract. From visual grammar’s point artworks are created for practical purposes, paintings appear realistic at first glance. If we ignore the appearance and look only at the shape, all artworks are various networks. At this level, the viewer tends to see shape as simpler, which means he can recognize the characteristics of shape integrally. And the artist can create shapes handling the integral characteristics logically To summarize, this can be called visual grammar     I will show that these works can be made using the same techniques.                                                               Arp “Two figures”               ...

  Art theory has been left behind and has not yet reached the level of science. The problem is that completely different types of things are being called art. It's like distinguishing and classifying domestic animals from wild animals. To create a universal theory, we must find the greatest common denominator.   The shape of all works is a network. The string is a part of it, and when the ends are joined together it forms a loop. The string is made up of line segments, and can be straight or curved. Uniformly curved lines can be replaced with arcs. Cézanne is considered to be the forerunner of modern art. Cézanne's Large Bathers paintings probably use grammar intuitively. so, if we try to create an ideal model that follows that grammar, we will understand the secret of its intrigue. Let's try making a model of Matisse's work, which is almost in its ideal form. Matisse "Three one-stroked silhouettes" Genius draws silhouettes the same way. ...

 According to Clive Bell, form includes not only shape but also color and shade. If the shape of a work were the only thing that determined its content, the number of documents would be extremely small. When it comes to shapes, artistic terms can be used accurately by showing the actual shapes. This time I will create a circular cross model on grid pattern that can show the degree of balance.     Sharaku "Sandai Ooya Hirotugu" Circle-cross horizontal-diagonal model on grid      The main motif is the curve of the sword, shown in vermilion, which forms a perfect arc. I created a unit model using the circle that extends the arc and its horizontal and vertical diameters. It is used in an overwhelming way that is unparalleled. The balance is achieved by having the circles intersect at the intersections and overlapping the diameters.                                 ...

  Picasso "Still life with scull" This has been my favorite Picasso for as long as I can remember.  I own a reproduction of this piece and came across a digital version while working on my blog.  Recognizing digital images as art allows everyone to decide which pieces they consider masterpieces.  Moreover, it makes it easier to develop different types of art theories.   The properties of the shape clearly acquire harmony and balance through integerization. If the picture screen is laid out in a grid, vertical and horizontal lines can take on integer values. Diagonal lines can also be represented by the diagonals of the rectangles made up of the grid. If the curve is considered to be the arc of a circle, the diameters of the vertical and horizontal lines of that circle will also be integers. The largest green circle creates the basic structure, and the second largest circle becomes the stem of the flower. The third and fourth circles form the corners....

  1) The ability to see a shape by omitting complex details is practical. 2) Drawn shapes, like musical scales, are simplified digitally, not analogically. 3) Drawn shapes can be seen in parts, and their size differences are clearly distinguishable. 4) This clarity of difference between the parts  is pleasurable. 5) Once you realize the integer nature of shapes, you can logically imagine and create more complex shapes. 6) This Cartesian ability to count natural numbers and logical thinking are fundamental to visual grammar. Klee "Stakim" The Art Institute of Chicago There are several areas where the shapes appear to overlap,   when you run your eyes along the lines, twisted rings become visible. string model Two twisted rings overlap. The red ring has two twists: two straight lines overlap at the intersection, It can also be seen as three rings connected together. The blue ring has three twists. It can also be seen as four rings connected togeth...
