The purpose of this blog is to provide news and information about art events, exhibitions and other newsworthy items related to space in art. It is intended as a resource for artists, collectors, critics and journalists who work with or report on art in all its forms.
Art is an interesting place for space to appear. Yes, we all like the idea of art being “abstract”, but what does that really mean? Can a painting be considered abstract if it shows nothing but white paint on a canvas? How about if it’s just a single color? Where is the line drawn between abstract and non-abstract art?
Art that features space, like paintings of views from space or sculptures of nebulae or landscapes, is some of the most evocative. In this blog I’ll be looking at these pieces.
Hi, I am a 16 year old artist looking for a job in the field of art. I have had many jobs before such as cleaning museums and grocery stores. I have also been working at my school newspaper for three years now, but have never edited any articles or done any art work. I just want to be able to share my thoughts with other artists, writers and people who are interested in space like me.
Space is a popular topic in art, particularly in music and cinema. But you will rarely see it portrayed accurately. Most artists do not understand that space is not a substance or a thing, but rather a relationship between objects. Also most artists do not understand the importance of scale, which is what space really is—a scale.
The purpose of this blog is to provide a platform for me, a space in art student, and other students to share our work and ideas on art theory. The blog will also discuss related topics such as the artist’s role in society, modern art and the history of art.
Crowdedness – An Analysis
Crowdedness is a term used by many artists to describe an aesthetic which aims to create a sense of crowding or massing with the help of certain compositional devices. Crowdedness aims to create an impression of density and compactness in a picture. Crowdedness is often associated with the crowded city or urban life.
In the 17th century, Dutch painters developed crowded compositions which are now referred to as “concentrated” or “compact”. The most famous examples of crowded compositions are those by Vermeer and Rembrandt. The paintings by these painters are characterized by carefully arranged groups of figures in closed rooms. In Rembrandt’s paintings, especially those from his later years, each part of the composition seems overloaded with details like objects and characters crammed into an unnaturally small space. However, the actual subject matter depicted in his paintings is quite different from each other.
