ELAC Art The Principles of Design Art as Social Commentar Discussion – Question Description
I’m working on a art writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
Discussion Ch. 8 and 9: The Principles of Design, Art as Social Commentar
Baca and Diego Rivera…and Yes, Velazquez
1.Baca was inspired in part by the muralist painter Diego Rivera. Rivera was a revolutionary painter looking to take art to the public. His style was direct and full of social content. Now examine Diego’s mural Los Explotadores and then describe what you think is represented. How is the social commentary in Diego’s mural similar to Baca’s? How do these two artists create compositional intrigue both visually and conceptually?
2.After, you answer the first part, look at Velazquez Las Meninas (figs. 239, 240). What are some of the techniques Velazquez used to draw the viewer in? How does he comment on the Spanish court of the time?
