How Art Has Changed From Traditional to Contemporary

TRADITIONAL ARTIST-Rembrandt

Characteristics of Anish Kapoor's Art

Traditional Art is also classical art, and it follows the present meaning of patterns and traditional customs of art. The art part of culture and knowledge of group of people, it is never altered and remains in its original form. Rembrandt is a great example of a traditional artist; his works looked like what they were. Traditional art goes by rules, there seems to be a right and a wrong. With Contemporary Art there is no such thing; you are only limited by your imagination. Contemporary is non-traditional art a synonym is Modern Art. This art is created by inclusion of the basic elements of traditional art, and the new form, modern. Modern art is vast and limitless. It just keeps on growing and changing with new innovations and ideas. Anish Kapoor is a contemporary artist his works are abstract and a cipher for all who observe them. His art makes people think about what is in store for art-what could be more thought provoking? In true essence traditional art is about preserving classical ideas and modern is about newer and innovative ideas.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was born in Leiden, Netherlands in 1606.He was removed from school early and sent to be trained as a painter at his own request.Rembrandt is known for his self-portraits and biblical scenes.He is considered to be one of the greatest painters in European history.

Anish Kapoor could be one of the best sculptures in his generation.His previous works have been enormous plastic skins stretched to infinity or deflated; manipulated mirrors whose reflections cause deep illusions, forms turn themselves inside out, and materials are soaked internally with colour, as if to deny the idea of an outer surface, inviting the viewer to the inner scopes of their mind. Here is a specific example: Sky Mirror is literally what it sounds like a mirror to the sky yet it exists only to reflect something else. It is self-effacing, not something you look at, like most other sculptures.Kapoor's work is made to make people think.

CONTEMPORARY ARTIST-Anish Kapoor

Sir Anish Kapoor was born 12 March 1954 in Bombay,India. Kapoor has lived and worked in London since the early 1970s.Kapoor is a sculptor whose works largely differ in scale and make people think. He may be most famous for public sculptures that are both adventures in form and engineering.

Characteristics of Rembrandt's Art

Rembrandt’s paintings consisted mainly of the following themes: portraiture, landscape and narrative painting. He was especially praised for his narrative paintings of biblical scenes as the attention to detail and the representation of emotion.

Rembrandt is well known for several techniques in his paintings such as impasto and chiaroscuro.Impasto is when paint is thickly applied so that marks of brush and palette knife are clearly shown.Chiaroscuro is a strong contrast between dark and light.This is used in his paintings to show enthusiasm and more commonly misery and mystery.
