Critical analysis of the avant -garde
The avant -garde as a way to face the world with new eyes, that is, see the world differently, where there is a radical change in arts, painting and architecture. Since nature has numerous aspects, where the artist can and should choose. On the one hand, they pursued a pure and founded art free of their media and on the other it encouraged the intention of a committed social art, which followed the scheme of parallelism between avant -garde of the political leftist political.
Mimesis is an aesthetic concept, a synonym for analogy, but there is also talk of mimesis when there is a resemblance or similarity with its original. From Aristotle, the imitation of nature is thus called as an essential purpose of art. In Diegesis the work of art does not represent anything of reality, but is what exists with its own grammar only for the author. It is what expresses directly, freely and creatively, his fantasies and dreams in contrast to mimesis.
For Konrad Fiedlerel, art was no longer conceived as an object of aesthetic pleasure if not as a language at the service of knowledge. An art different from the conceptions of pleasure.
Prior to impressionism, the artistic framework was dominated by eclecticism, which responded to the generation of stylistic ruptures, a series of ruptures that will give their own personality to modern art. Impressionism spread throughout Europe, among other things, thanks to ease and speed. The techniques used in impressionism distinguish it from the traditional way of representing scenes on paper. The movement believed in painting a scene with real colors and lights so the painters would quickly capture fleeting instances of modern life. Raises a relationship between art and nature, and man and object.
The emergence of symbolism is related to opposition to naturalism through a commitment to fantasy. The artists enrolled in this new movement tried to recover the ideas of romanticism, who were losing relevance to the progress of the industrial revolution. Symbolism, therefore, appears linked to the spiritual.
Fauvism was a reaction against impressionism, it was believed that through colors they could express feelings then enhance the value of color itself, rejecting the naturalistic tones palette using violent colors to create a greater expressive emphasis. Among the main themes of Fauvism can be found: landscapes, portraits, African or Arabic paintings, spaces such as walls or pieces.
Expressionism is an artistic current that seeks the expression of the author’s feelings and emotions rather than the representation of objective reality. It reveals the pessimistic side of life generated by the historical circumstances of the moment and its purpose is The artist’s anguish.
The latter leads us to find all the currents of modern art and develop other new avant -garde, Cubism, futurism, dadaism, purism and neoplasticism.
Cubism is an aesthetic school and theory of plastic arts and design. It is characterized by the use of geometric shapes, such as cubes, triangles and rectangles where the traditional perspective disappears. Treats the forms of nature through geometric figures, fragmenting lines and surfaces. The terms of mass and compactness that gender strongly affected architecture, prefiguring all the language of rational architecture.
Futurism was thus called for its intention to break absolutely with the art of the past, especially in Italy, where artistic tradition permeated everything. They want to create a new art, according to modern mentality, new times and new needs. It was an avant -garde that sought to reflect the movement, dynamism, speed, internal force of things, the exaltation of war, machines, the national and the sensual and everything that was modern
Dadaism was an artistic tendency that emerged in Zurich in 1916. He was against art, the codes and values of his time, influenced graphic art, music, poetry and manifests against eternal beauty, against the eternity of the principles, against the laws of logic, against the immobility of thought, against the purity of abstract concepts and against the universal in general. The expression "dadà" translates as a fixed idea, or as the cube or mother.
Purismo is raised as the movement that was generated immediately after Cubism. His aesthetic ideals were based on the “beauty of functional efficiency, the value of precision, the importance of intellect. The use of volumes and construction precision, based on stereometric forms, cone, cube, cylinder and prism, which would then apply to plastic language. This sanction the relationship between art and industrial production, were raised unlike Cubists, an objective painting and at the same time involved in all possible aspects of modern mechanical civilization.
Neoplasticism is an artistic current, which arises in the search for an art that did not have accessory elements, but only the most elementary, to reach the essence of an objective plastic language reducing it to geometric shapes and pure colors, that is, totally abstract. They fought against individualism, rejected all mimicry and postulated the narrow unity between painting, sculpture and architecture.
In conclusion it can be seen that avant -garde arise for love or hate that is postulated at the time. I highlight cubism as a fundamental weapon for the emergence or inspiration of other new artistic currents, where it takes part of the geometric segmentation and at the same time an abstraction of reality is regenerated, but never without ceasing to stand out with the purest colors possible. That is, as well as Cubism, each avant -garde is an engine for the succession of art.
