Visual impact of daily life…
18. • In Windward Rauschenberg combines
photographs of the Statue of Liberty with
shots of New York house façades, confronting
these with images showing the election of the
Pope in the Sistine Chapel and crates of
oranges. The composition is dominated by the
deeply iconic figure of the eagle. In what
appears to be a random arrangement, the artist
fosters an enigmatic and richly associative
dialogue between the various juxtaposed
pictorial worlds which defies any attempt at
aesthetic categorization.
30. Netherlandish Art
• Religious controversy and general unrest
dominated society in the Netherlands.
• Catholic Church lost its hold and their
commissions lessened, artists increasingly
served private patrons.
• artists' new patrons commissioned images of
moral lessons and warnings against the
deadly sins incorporated into pictures of daily
life.
31. BOSCH, Hieronymus
• Bosch was a Dutch
painter who lived in the
15th and 16th centuries
(circa 1453 to 1516).
Although his work is
inspired by medieval art,
Bosch was a painter of
the Renaissance,
contemporary of
Leonardo da Vinci.
33. Bosch invented a style marked by Caricature and monstrous characters from
medieval bestiaries. His work is full of strange and inventive and madness. He is
recognized as a precursor of the great surrealist painters of the 20th century.
34. "The third day of creation", outside panel of Bosch's Garden of
Earthly delights
45. • Bridal Chamber in
Pumpkin
• Along with the fairly
obvious
representations,
however, the carnal
life is also alluded
to in metaphorical
or symbolic terms.
• Strawberries
…probably
symbolize the
unsubstantial
quality of fleshly
pleasure.
50. The pink bagpipe in the centre above the tree-man
has several connotations: the bagpipe was
considered a very aggressive instrument
because of the loud sound it makes, and may
represent those that play it who are now being
punished in this hell. The bagpipe was also a
symbol of the male sex organ.
