Sub Distro within Painting
If you were to write a 20/20 packet of only painting, what would the distribution look like? For whatever reason I was thinking about it and couldn't come up with anything that make sense. You could go about it in many different ways, and am curious what people think.

Re: Sub Distro within Painting
My suggestion for a by-date subdistribution:
3/3 pre-1420
5/5 1420-1600
5/5 1600-1800
6/6 1800-present
1/1 non-western from any period.
I would also suggest a geographical sub-distribution as follows:
Pre-1420
2/2 Mediterranean basin, 1/1 northern, central, and eastern Europe.
1420-1600
2/2 Italian, 2/2 northern Europe, 1/1 your choice.
1600-1800
2/2 Italian, 3/3 northern Europe and Spain.
1800-Present:
3/3 European, 3/3 North American.
This assumes that the difficulty is "high, but not infinite".

Re: Sub Distro within Painting
I'm wondering how much pre-Renaissance painting there is to justify that subdistribution.

Re: Sub Distro within Painting
I agree. If it were overall art, 3/3 would be just fine, but with just painting... After all, how many questions can you ask about cave painting a la Lasceaux, Roman wall painting and Egyptian tomb painting?rylltraka wrote:I'm wondering how much pre-Renaissance painting there is to justify that subdistribution.

Re: Sub Distro within Painting
The 3/3 "Pre-Renaissance" includes mideval painting(as well as illuminated manuscripts and mosaics, which I am counting as paintings) in addition to ancient paintings. That opens up quite a bit of material, at least at higher levels.I agree. If it were overall art, 3/3 would be just fine, but with just painting...

Re: Sub Distro within Painting
As happy as I am to learn I can toss up postwar artists other than Andy Warhol, I must complain that you seem to make no room for shuch amazing luminous fountains as Smithson, Beuys, Baldessari, Walker, Turrell, or even Nauman.

Re: Sub Distro within Painting
Inquiry, it's probably a stretch to have more than 1 total question on painting technique (like "gouache"), but would one include such an answer in your pre-1700 paintings repertoire in such a packet?

Re: Sub Distro within Painting
Wow....I hadn't heard the word "gouache" in almost twenty years...I thought it had been replaced by acrylics, or is there currently a gouache-retro movement. Or did you just mean re art history in general?
