Repost

My repost for project 1 for Art311.

ARTC311 M001 INTERMIDATE 3D MODELING / FALL 2007 - Section One. Project 1.

I chose Julian Stanczak as the subject for my review. Stanczak was born in eastern Poland in 1928. At the beginning of World War II, Stanczak was forced into a Siberian labor camp, where he permanently lost the use of his right arm (he had been right-handed). In 1942, Stanczak (age 13) escaped from Siberia to join the Polish army-in-exile in Persia. After deserting from the army, he spent his teenage years in a hut in a Polish refugee camp in Uganda, Africa. It was in Africa that Stanczak learned to paint (left-handed). He moved to England and then the United States, where he eventually settled in Cleveland.
I like Stanczaks use of verying lines and wieght in his art. By controlng the length and width of the line he creates simple yet dizzing optical effects that can not only blur, but also weave around the viewers eye.

Barbara Hepwroth (1903-1975):
The eldest of four children and the daughter of a civil engineer who lived and worked in the West Riding of Yorkshire, her mathematical and primitive sculptures make interesting space that attracts my interest with their simplicity.





































Joan Miró (1893-1983):
Miró was drawn towards the arts community that gathered in Montparnasse. I like his style of make 3-D paintings with his sculptures. He even takes into consideration the background that you’ll see his sculptures with and use it to his advantage.































Nancy Holt (1938- ):
A pioneer of earthworks and public art, I enjoyed her use of sunlight and positioning to really offset her sculptures with the environment they are in.

Tony Smith (1912-1980):
He attended the Art Students’ League, studying under George Bridgeman (1864–1943), George Grosz and Václav Vytlacil (d 1984). Exploiting the impersonal machined quality of steel, especially in industrially fabricated units which were ideally suited to an expression of serial repetition that holds a monolithic feel to them which I find fascinating.

























Vladimir Yevgrafovich Tatlin (1885-1953):
One of the two most important figures in the Russian avant-garde art movement of the 1920s, his Structures and sculptures truly pushed the limits of modern construction and building. These grandiose and often expensive projects are interesting do to there outrageous yet completely possible concepts.
