Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket, 1875, oil on panel, 60.2 x 46.7 cm (Detroit Institute of the Arts)
  • READ THIS: Whistler, Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket
  • READ THIS: Aestheticism
  • WATCH THESE VIDEOS:
In the video below, watch the images as they move from real to abstract to non-objective... Piet Mondrian was mentioned in the first video and these are some of his paintings. ASK YOURSELF: At what point is the tree no longer the subject? Without a tree, what becomes the subject? How does this shift in subject affect the content of the work? How is this style similar to/different from realistic art? Think about these things are you prepare for your next project,  Abstract Expressionist painting!
AFTER EXPLORING THE PROVIDED RESOURCES:

Define
  • Japonisme
  • Abstract Expressionism
  • Aestheticism

Write a reflection that includes but does not have to be limited to:
  • What are your thoughts? 
  • What did you learn?
  • What connections can be made to what you know, what you've done, what you will be doing in class? (if you haven't yet done your PLANNING page for Abstract Expressionism, this would be a good time to do so)
  • Why is this artist so important?
  • What questions do you have?
CURIOUS? Here's more information:
  • Here's another article on the libel lawsuit between Whistler and Ruskin
  • A comprehensive article of Whistler's art, influences, and ideas
