Piet Mondrian

Mondrian's arrival in Paris from the Netherlands in 1911 marked the beginning of a period of profound change. He encountered experiments in Cubism and with the intent of integrating himself within the Parisian avant-garde removed an 'a' from the Dutch spelling of his name (Mondriaan).[3][4] The Netherlands (1872–1911)[edit] In this house, now the Villa Mondriaan, in Winterswijk, Piet Mondrian lived from 1880 to 1892 Mondrian was born in Amersfoort in the Netherlands, the second of his parents' children.[5] He was descended from Christian Dirkzoon Monderyan who lived in The Hague as early as 1670.[3] The family moved to Winterswijk in the east of the country when his father, Pieter Cornelius Mondriaan, was appointed Head Teacher at a local primary school.[6] Mondrian was introduced to art from a very early age.

Understanding the Work of Piet Mondrian. Albrecht Altdorfer. Pintor, grabador y arquitecto alemán, una de las figuras más relevantes de la "escuela del Danubio".

Albrecht Altdorfer

Su actividad se desenvolvió casi por entero en Ratisbona; fue miembro del consejo municipal y arquitecto oficial de esta ciudad. Sus obras más antiguas atestiguas el influjo de ciertos pintores de los Alpes danubianos de Durero y de Cranach, su gusto por la descripción micrográfica y otros indicios hacen pensar que practicó de joven el arte de la miniatura y de la caligrafía. Algunos de sus dibujos y óleos se cuentan entre los primeros paisajes puros del arte europeo, pintados sin otros pretexto temático y excluyendo la figura humana (Vista del Danubio cerca de Ratisbona); son paisajes que expresan una actitud de intima unión con la naturaleza. En otras como San Jorge en el bosque o La Batalla de Alejandro, el paisaje asume también el papel de protagonista principal.

Japanese painting

, kaiga, also gadō 画道) is one of the oldest and most highly refined of the Japanese visual arts, encompassing a wide variety of genres and styles. As with the history of Japanese arts in general, the long history of Japanese painting exhibits synthesis and competition between native Japanese aesthetics and the adaptation of imported ideas, mainly from Chinese painting which was especially influential at a number of points; significant Western influence only comes from the later 16th century onwards, beginning at the same time as Japanese art was influencing that of the West .

Areas of subject matter where Chinese influence has been repeatedly significant include Buddhist religious painting, ink-wash painting of landscapes in the Chinese literati painting tradition, calligraphy of ideographs,[1] and the painting of animals and plants, especially birds and flowers. Timeline[edit] Kuroda Seiki. Biography[edit] Early years[edit] Kuroda was born in Takamibaba, Satsuma domain, (present day Kagoshima Prefecture), as the son of a samurai of the Shimazu clan, Kuroda Kiyokane, and his wife Yaeko.

Kuroda Seiki

At birth, the boy was named Shintarō; this was changed to Kiyoteru in 1877, when he was 11. Even before his birth, Kuroda had been chosen by his paternal uncle, Kuroda Kiyotsuna, as heir; formally, he was adopted in 1871, after traveling to Tokyo with both his birth mother and adoptive mother to live at his uncle's estate. Kiyotsuna was also a Shimazu retainer, whose services to Emperor Meiji in the Bakumatsu period and at the Battle of Toba-Fushimi led to his appointment to high posts in the new imperial government; in 1887 he was named a viscount. In his early teens, Kuroda began to learn the English language in preparation for his university studies; within two years, however, he had chosen to switch to French instead.
