Structure And Clarity
The structure and clarity exhibition at the Tate Modern gallery portrayed the work of Dan Flavin, who's dazzling, atmospheric works use mass produced fluorescent lights arranged in simple linear from. His work contained a simple layout of lights, using different compositions. I enjoyed his work, as it lit up the room with its bright light, making it a joy to watch.
The Untitled by Dan Judd, Colorist is a vibrant celebration of colour in the form of a homage to the sculpture Donald Judd. The bright colours represent excitement and happiness. I enjoyed it because it bring joys to peoples life’s; creating smiles across their face, a light to peoples life.
Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century. Piet Mondrian, Composition C, is a mature painting, he narrowed his paintings to use only primary colours. The division of the canvas creates irregular patterns, within an ordered geometric whole. The lines represent a on going journey. A Journey that never stops. This is an abstracted painting, that represents a spiritual and utopian ideas.
The work of Wassily Kandinsky, Swinging is an oil painting. "There title swinging conveys the paintings sense of dynamic movement, suggested by the rhythms of modernity." (Tate Modern, Swinging, 2013, www.tate.org.uk) Kandinsky focused on spiritual in art. He used bright colours to construct art from naturalistic appearances. The bright vibrant colours jump out of the page. The piece is full of different geometrical shapes, from triangles to circles ect, however the composting of each shape connects and works well together. The shapes look like they have been layered onto each other. The piece portrays mystery, it lets the mind explore and create its own imagery. Allowing us to imagine whatever we want the image to be to us, letting us interoperate it as we like. I personally think this piece was to minimalistic and dull as it don't not have a lot to it, explore different shapes and colours.

this is really good, but maybe you should include more about the general feel of the exhibition/room to bring everything together a bit more. I like how the pictures of the light installations have come out though.
