Moda Visit Abstraction

 Textile Fabric
 

A 1960's textiles Curtain designed
by Reynolds Alan Munro. It is
a woven material which has
been printed on to.
the shape, size and colour
of the piece makes it
interesting .


 




 
This is a painting by Reynolds, who is an abstract painter and has made his reputation as a landscape painter in the 60's . The painter gets his influences from impressionists such as Paul Klee and  Elanie kooning . I like this painting because of the overlapping geometric shapes.as well as the method used to make this painting look 3D. The abstract movement emerged around the 1950's and was related to world war two which left the artist reflecting their feeling through these paintings , almost as a way to rebel. Some of the characteristics of this movement were :swearing ,flicking paint on a canvas and fast brush strokes.
