Cliff Walk at Pourville

Today's video is really interesting because it offers a compare and contrast between Monet's Cliff Walk at Pourville and Malevich's White on White. These styles are completely different, and we get some insight into the reasons why artists choose to express themselves in a particular way, and the connection that often exists between those expressions and the culture and time they live in. We also get some deeper ideas about how to assess art. Is it only about whether or not we find a piece beautiful or technically realistic? Or is there another way to think about art that is worthy of our consideration? Wonderful connections to history, politics, and society!
