Ordinary Objects with Extraordinary Color



the "Fauves"-

in 1820's B&W photography was invented. After photography became a new common art form, artists had to give the world what black and white photography could not.

Fauvism is considered a branch of Impressionism. Fauves, means "Wild Beasts" in French. This style uses unnatural strong lines and vivid, bold, abstract colors with natural subject matter.

ATMOSPERIC PERSPECTIVE-
Atmospheric perspective (or aerial perspective) is an artistic technique that creates the illusion of depth and distance by mimicking how air, moisture, and dust affect the appearance of far-away objects. Distant elements appear lighter in value, lower in contrast, and less detailed.
