Thoughts of A Neurotic Stranger

[1-adenif-1]

I found out few days ago in my polish class that what we called romantic (e. g. flowers, red hearts, a lot of emotions) is actually sentimental. What is real romantic like in a romanticism era aren't beautiful full of love paintings, but art full of darkness and horror etc. The paintings aren't light and colorful. They're dark and have dark colors.

What I really love about it is this difference. That the fact what was romantic those times isn't what we call romantic nowadays.

Here are some paintings to show you what I mean (I couldn't find good quality of the first two so I took a photo):

'HMS Minotaur' by William Turner

'The nightmare' by Henry Fuseli

'Zwei Männer in Betrachtung des Mondes' by Caspar David Friedrich

I know that not every painting is in this style, but a fascination in horror, weirdness and fantasy was on of the main characteristics in romantisicm's art.

//Unit 10: Art timelines// Earlier last week, we were given a talk on art movements on the art timeline, including Neoclassical, Romanticism, Realism, Pre-Raphaelites, Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism. I found this particularly interesting as I was able to see how art has changed and been influenced and how it influences art created today. One piece that I particularly liked was a painting of severed limbs by Theodore Gericault from the Romanticism movement as I found that it was particularly interesting to see something so gory painted in such a ‘traditional’ way, and found that this realistic factor made it particularly creepy and eerie, which is unique. Another piece that I liked was “The Slave Ship” by Turner, also from the Romanticism movement. I found that the deceptive quality was incredibly interesting, as the bright colours seem positive and full of life, though it is actually a sunset, symbolising the death of the slaves in the foreground that we tend to miss upon first sight; I like how there’s so much more going on in the piece than we initially realise.
