Modern Era Fashion?
Art!
The fashion of the modern era seems to be very abstract, ranging from formal to informal. Fashion is simply a concept of what the majority wear. Over the years it seems to develop and change!
The art of this era is very abstract but in an interesting sense. Variation in colors and different settings along side the visible dynamic angles becomes present in this art. There is no specific structure to the paintings.
Art and Fashion
Summary
The different assets of this time vary in structures and do so in a not so strict manner. This era is marked with new ideas that think outside of the box! I am already living in this period. I enjoy it greatly as I find great interest in the upcoming ideas and principles in its music, art, and fashion.
Final Thoughts!
Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975)
Composer Summary
Dmitri was a Soviet-Era composer of Russian origin. He was born September 25th, 1906. When young, his worked was frowned upon for his dry playing style. Though did this not discourage him from his work. He performed his own compositions usually. Throughout his life he continued to pioneer orchestral music and his own compositions, eventually developing his own musical playing style. His orchestral work included 15 symphonies and 6 concerti. His Chamber music included 15 string quartets, a piano quintet, two piano trios, and two pieces for string octet. His solo music included 48 different symphonies and fugues from early life to late life. Sadly, Shostakovich died August 9, in the year 1975 due to heart failure.
Shostakovich's work
A lot of contrast is visible in Shostakovich's work. Furthermore, tonality plays a role in his style as there is several ambivalent juxtapositions present. In sorts contrast plays a role in his music. Shostakovich, himself, claims to have gained inspiration from neoclassical music!
