Beautiful/Decay Artist & Design The FontFeed | Fonts, Typography, Lettering, Design andrea joseph's sketchblog Le laid dans l’art Il n’est pas rare de trouver sur internet des séquences portant sur le monstrueux. Bien souvent, il est demandé aux élèves de réaliser un autoportrait hideux ou effrayant. « Vous devez créer un visage monstrueux à partir de votre propre portrait en utilisant une ou plusieurs techniques vues précédemment. On peut se demander pourquoi cette fascination pour le laid et quelle est sa portée pédagogique. En effet, si on aborde la question du laid il est inévitable de se poser la question du beau. N’est-ce pas mettre en difficulté les élèves qui ne sont pas à l’aise avec leur image ? Ce sont ces raisons qui motivent cet article sur le monstrueux dans l’art. Adorno écrivait : « le laid doit constituer ou pouvoir constituer un moment de l’art ». Le laid provoque un sentiment de malaise, de dégoût. Par exemple, John Isaacs The Matrix of Amnesia, 1997, est insoutenable. Patricia Piccinini excelle dans le rendu hyper-réaliste de monstres. Jérôme Bosch est aussi friand de la laideur. « Étymol. et Hist.
Understanding the Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Ratio – Fractal Enlightenment The Fibonacci Sequence The Fibonacci sequence is possibly the most simple recurrence relation occurring in nature. It is 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89, 144… each number equals the sum of the two numbers before it, and the difference of the two numbers succeeding it. It is an infinite sequence which goes on forever as it develops. The Golden Ratio/Divine Ratio or Golden Mean - The quotient of any Fibonacci number and it’s predecessor approaches Phi, represented as ϕ (1.618), the Golden ratio. This iteration can continue both ways, infinitely. The Golden Ratio can be seen from a Chambered Nautilus to a Spiraling Galaxy The Golden Ratio can be applied to any number of geometric forms including circles, triangles, pyramids, prisms, and polygons. Sunflowers have a Golden Spiral seed arrangement. If you graph any number system, eventually patterns appear. Our universe and the numbers not only go on infinitely linear, but even it’s short segments have infinite points. Image source Phi Golden Ratio

ALIEN INVASION illustrations L’art et la laideur Claudine SAGAERT – Docteur en sociologie, professeur de philosophie au lycée Ernest Hemingway, Nîmes. « (…) certaines choses peuvent être assez connues sans pour autant qu’on les reconnaisse dans toute leur signification, toute leur ampleur. Tel est le cas du laid. Depuis un siècle, les cultures européennes ont élaboré et largement répandu la théorie des beaux-arts, les règles du bon goût, la science de l’esthétique, mais le concept du laid, bien qu’il ait été effleuré partout, [est] resté relativement loin en arrière ».[1] Introduction A l’encontre de la beauté, la laideur dans l’art n’a que rarement été traitée par les sociologues, les philosophes et les critiques d’art. La laideur : une absence de qualités requises On peut considérer qu’une représentation laide peut être jugée telle dans la mesure où l’on constate une absence de certaines qualités nécessaires à la production d’une belle œuvre. La laideur d’une belle œuvre Hasta la muerte - Goya Exposition "our body" Bibliographie [2] Cf.
Summer Night by Eilif Peterssen via DailyArt mobile app I know it's not summer anymore, but who doesn't miss it? : ) Eilif Peterssen was one of six painters who spent the summer of 1886 on Fleskum Farm in Bærum outside of Kristiania; the other five were Christian Skredsvig, Gerhard Munthe, Erik Werenskiold, Kitty Kielland, and Harriet Backer. Inspired by the bright evenings of the Norwegian summer, they created a number of atmospheric landscape paintings. Peterssen’s most significant contribution is Summer Night, a lyrical depiction of a local lake, Dælivannet, in soft lighting. The atmospheric Neo-Romantic paintings form a contrast to the bright, impartially observational plein-air paintings that were otherwise so typical of this era, as represented by for example Erik Werenskiold and Gerhard Munthe. We present this painting thanks to the Nasjonalmuseet in Oslo. : ) P.S.
