Modern Synthesis
The early modern era was a time of change and emotional upheaval. War and new social statuses changed the time period and lead to new artistic movements. For example, the artistic movement of cubism. The differences between the two artists Picasso and Rembrandt set social statements through their contrasting works of art. Meticulous and emotionally charged, Rembrandt’s artistic style depicted the Modern era through the expressions and the feelings seen in his paintings. In contrast Picasso depicted human tragedy in a different style, cubism. The abstract restructured art views tragedy in different viewpoints, meaning various things for a number of people. Reorganization of shapes represents the new times the era was facing and looked on to human behavior as tragedy. Although both artistic styles represent emotional and physical human tragedy, there work also represents hope for the future. The darkness of humanity is characterized by the pain and ever-present emotion found in the different but similar styles of Picasso and Rembrandt.
Our team thought your synthesis was very cohesive and detailed in describing the Modern era and Picasso and Rembrandt's painting styles. You made it interesting and went below the surface level to adequately tie together how despite Picasso and Rembrandt's differences in style, their underlying social statements were transcendent. However, we felt that your group's synthesis could have benefitted from more historical examples to support your claims about social upheavals during the Modern era. Overall, your team did a fantastic job.
