  Myself and others

  • Durée : 04 min 46 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  Through the compositions of two French women artists we study the way art may help artists and people to take a look at themselves and possibly find their idendity and learn what they are really like inside.

  A different point of view

  • Durée : 04 min 46 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  This extract is based on photographs of women, self-portraits in fact, the aim of which is to help people change the view they have of women, as compared to the conventional images of men. The underlying question that might be asked is whether (...)

  Beautiful people?

  • Durée : 04 min 44 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  Three different works are presented here to illustrate the theme of beauty or what people see as beauty. The works being exposed, however, do not écho the current standards of beauty as shown in film or advertising.

• 

  The effects of war

  • Durée : 04 min 45 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  With this extract we enter once more the relationship between art and war through works done during or after WWII. The report does not only show the impact of war on art but also its aftermath up to fifty years after it ended.

• 

  World War II

  • Durée : 04 min 45 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  As expected, this extract deals with sthe Second World War and its impact on artists before and during the war. The art of Dali foreshadows the impending disaster while that of Bacon seems to make us hear the screams of pain of the innocent (...)

  World War I

  • Durée : 04 min 48 s
  • Date de publication : 04/2009

  The first of two sections dedicated to the impact of war on art and artists deals with that of the First World War. This impact is seen through two different paintings and a sculpture. Interestingly, the artists chosen each belonged to one (...)

  Outside in

  • Durée : 04 min 51 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  The title given to this section is explicit enough: through the study of photographer and sculptor Richard Long, we witness the making of art using nature itself... and the mind and hand of man.

• 

  Sculpture from nature

  • Durée : 04 min 46 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  This section emphasises the relationship between nature and sculpture through the study of three semi-realistic works through which the artists tried to generate feelings in the eye of the beholder rather than representing nature as it is.

• 

  Abstracting landscape

  • Durée : 04 min 49 s
  • Date de publication : 04/2009

  The evolution from realism to abstract art is shown and studied here through three paintings by the same painter, Dutch artist Piet Mondrian.

• 

  Pharmacy

  • Durée : 04 min 47 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  The work shown here will probably not be unanimously dubbed a work of art. In fact it is labeled an "installation". The presentation is complemented by an interview of the artist himself, which helps understand what he was trying to do.

• 

  Different dimensions

  • Durée : 04 min 51 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  The implicit question posed here is where art really begins and where it ends. The question remains present in the commentary of two works acquired by Tate Modern, the first one of which was met with, let's say, mixed feelings.

• 

  Objects in odd places

  • Durée : 04 min 50 s
  • Date de publication : 04/2009

  Oddity is definetly the aptest word to describe the objects presented here. And some might argue that an apter title to this section should be "Odd objects in normal places"...

• 

  Still life

  • Durée : 04 min 50 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  We discover here three different ways of representing "still life" (objects). The first one remains "classical" compared to that of Cézanne whose work is much older and appears unfinished. And we end the presentation with Picasso's 1914 Still (...)

• 

  Abstract Art

  • Durée : 04 min 45 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  With this section we really enter the world of abstract art through the description and analysis of the work of two painters who evolved from realism to abstraction- Wassily Kandiski and Jackson Pollock.

• 

  Distortion

  • Durée : 04 min 48 s
  • Date de publication : 05/2009

  We now enter the Tate Modern museum of London and start our studies with the theme of distortion through the works of Rodin (The Kiss), Boccioni (Unique Forms of Continuity in Space), and Picasso (The Three Dancers). This first section introduces (...)
