What does Juxtaposition mean?

Placing things side by side especially when using contrasting elements

In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used. The viewer's attention is drawn

to the similarities or differences between the elements.

Visual Examples• The use of agressive mark-making in contrast to an area of very controlled shading• Light and dark, organic and man-made,

Abstract Examples• Weakness’s and strength, love & hate, belief an denial.

American artist Georgia O'KeeffeDate of Birth: 15th November 1887

Focus: PaintingArt Movement: American Modernism

O'Keeffe was very much drawn to the abstract - and abstracting aspects of the flowers she would vastly enlarge the fragment of the flowers.

As the shapes swell and taper across the plane, they pulse with colour and energy, suggesting the artist's continuing fascination with themes of natural vitality.

She explores the elements of colour, shape and texture of the objects she paints. She was preoccupied with simple forms in her flower paintings.

Colour is often bold, frequently carefully modulated but tends to come across as somewhat 'flat'.

Italian artist Michelangelo Merisi de CaravaggioDate of Birth: 29 Sep 1571

Focus: PaintingsArt Movement: Baroque

Caravaggio's style of painting is easily recognizable for its realism, intense chiaroscuro and the artist's emphasis on co-extensive space. Caravaggio had a remarkable talent for extending the action of his composition beyond the picture plane and into the viewer's space. In the Supper at Emmaus, for example, the viewer is almost like a fifth actor in the scene; the arms of the apostle on the right stretches into our space, while the teetering basket of fruit could almost fall to the viewer's feetChiaroscuro (kee-ar-uh-SKYOOR-o) is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition.
