Transformation
In Art
High Renaissance
The Last Supper by
Leonardo Da Vinci
Contemporary Art
The Persistence of Memory by
Salvador Dalli
From the Renaissance to the
Contemporary there is like four centuries between each other. The world evolved
together with art new styles, new technics, new way of looking at it, the
importance of etc.… Everything that
exists in the world changes and makes different movements such as travelling
where in the eighteen hundreds they traveled with horses in the nineteen century
cars started to develop, today we have multiple number of travelling such as
trains, buses, airplanes, ships and more. That is what happened in art with
every artist and every mind. Taking his creation to the limit until people
starts to like the new art. Where in the time of Leonardo did the masterpiece
of The Last Supper it was that time of perfection both in perspective and
figures with natural colours and movement. They were also fanatic about
religious stories and persons. Most of all paintings, sculptures and reliefs are
related to that theme.
Years
passed and new artists started to take place others where like Salvador Dalli
had new ideas, one of them was fantasy. His work is surrealism. In every piece
he did there is a touch of fantasy that nobody would imagine. The Persistence
of Memory was the best of his work that shows pocket watches melted
representing that time cannot be fixed and with a strange creature lying on the
floor fading away like a dream. Even the colours in it some do not match the
ones in real life, not only into dalli’s work but also in many paintings most
of them are with strange, bright, strong colours. The themes are strange like
trees coloured with different colours such as blue, orange, pink figures in
cubes, figures as monsters, in many colours etc.…
As they say it is not modern art it
is contemporary art because nobody knows what type of art it is going to be.
