Third Of May 1808

The Third of May 1808 which is oil on a canvas, created on 1814 by the Spanish painter Francisco Goya who is seen as the commentator for the 18th and 19th century Spain. Three men walking” which was created by bronzed occurred 1949 by giacomettic, who works with the surrealist and existential movement. The original Fountain created by Marcel Dunchap in 1917 was made up from Porcelain, which turns out to be a everyday urinal. All pieces were responses to conflict during their time period, with messages to inform and enlightening the people.

The Third of May 1808 piece was painted around the time Napoleon quest to take over the world was the trend. The story goes that Napoleon went to Spain to make peace with Charles IV in order to conquer
Portugal. The treaty was signed and poured Napoleon troops in a nonchalant fashion. It became obvious the French were taking over and put Napoleon’s brother Joseph Bonaparte as the new king of Spain. According to ———————- on the 2nd of the May, hundreds of Spaniards or freedom fighters rebelled. Then came the special third of may (hence the name of the painting), Goya captured an iconic image that portrayed the inhumane damages man does to its own kind. The piece centers around the man wearing a white shirt. Who has a hole that looks similar to the crucification of Jesus.His expression looks sadden and “echoes Christ’s prayer on the cross” (khan-3). Goya took a stab a heroism and showed a more bloodier art that depicted the wrongs going on.

Three Men Walking are multiple extremely tall and thin figures with elongated limb with ruff and rand down surface, and little mass giving off aurora from other world. Artist were more interest in shadows, which was his take after the second major war. ———The modern life and effects of politics, square face, featureless and independent from each other and act like they don't notice each other, Giacometti created a synchronization of the three men to symbolize crowds in the street that magically become synchronize with another. Giacometti was inspired by his interest in the crowds of the street according to ———-

The Fountain takes place during the dada movement which was took place after world war one. The movement had an existential feature that mocked materialistic and national attitude that led to the significant amount of death. The fountain is suppose to represent the fine fountains in the baroque and renaissance period provided.

What makes these pieces of art different(besides time) is the philosophy of the time period.
At the time of the fountain, there was an dada movement going on. This movement argue what is the point of all this anyways. The Third of May 1808,” strongly portrayal of christianity by seeing man’s inhumanity and killing the man who offers himself as a sacrificing himself with a similar posture like jesus did when he was crucified. The fountain challenges what values are truly important in art and who decides those for us.

The three pieces are art message is more similar than different, since it is about politics. All artist created these pieces as an after effect of war; rather it be in Spain or World War One. These artist argue that politics and our national stubbornness is destroying what makes us the ideal human.

When we watch the news we sort of being ‘entertain’ with how dangerous the planet is

Researching the conflict of war and how artists interpreted gives me a better understanding of art. Art is a useful tool to imply what is happening at the period of time. It has a emotional message from the artist that uniquely integrated. The cause of war is typically the same stubbornness before, yet art is constantly responding with evolving
statements.
