On 15 November 2018 , Hockney 's 1972 work Portrait of an Artist ( Pool with Two Figures ) sold at Christie 's auction house in New York City for $ 90 million ( £70 million ) , becoming the most expensive work by a living artist sold at auction . This broke the previous record , set by the 2013 sale of Jeff Koons ' Balloon Dog ( Orange ) for $ 58.4 million . Hockney held this record until 15 May 2019 , Jeff Koons reclaimed the honour when his Rabbit sold for more than $ 91 million at Christie 's in New York .

Drawing is a form of visual art in which a person uses various drawing instruments to mark paper or another two-dimensional medium . Instruments include graphite pencils , pen and ink , various kinds of paints , inked brushes , colored pencils , crayons , charcoal , chalk , pastels , various kinds of erasers , markers , styluses , and various metals ( such as silverpoint ) . Digital drawing is the act of using a computer to draw . Common methods of digital drawing include a stylus or finger on a touchscreen device , stylus- or finger-to-touchpad , or in some cases , a mouse . There are many digital art programs and devices . A drawing instrument releases a small amount of material onto a surface , leaving a visible mark . The most common support for drawing is paper , although other materials , such as cardboard , wood , plastic , leather , canvas , and board , may be used . Temporary drawings may be made on a blackboard or whiteboard or indeed almost anything . The medium has been a popular and fundamental means of public expression throughout human history . It is one of the simplest and most efficient means of communicating visual ideas . The wide availability of drawing instruments makes drawing one of the most common artistic activities . In addition to its more artistic forms , drawing is frequently used in commercial illustration , animation , architecture , engineering and technical drawing .
Carrie Mae Weems ( born April 20 , 1953 ) is an American artist who works with text , fabric , audio , digital images , and installation video , and is best known for her work in the field of photography . Her award-winning photographs , films , and videos have been displayed in over 50 exhibitions in the United States and abroad , and focus on serious issues that face African Americans today , such as racism , sexism , politics , and personal identity . She said , Let me say that my primary concern in art , as in politics , is with the status and place of Afro-Americans in the country . More recently however , she expressed that Black experience is not really the main point ; rather , complex , dimensional , human experience and social inclusion . is the real point .
Photography is the art , application and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation , either electronically by means of an image sensor , or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film . It is employed in many fields of science , manufacturing ( e.g. , photolithography ) , and business , as well as its more direct uses for art , film and video production , recreational purposes , hobby , and mass communication . Typically , a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure . With an electronic image sensor , this produces an electrical charge at each pixel , which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent display or processing . The result with photographic emulsion is an invisible latent image , which is later chemically developed into a visible image , either negative or positive depending on the purpose of the photographic material and the method of processing . A negative image on film is traditionally used to photographically create a positive image on a paper base , known as a print , either by using an enlarger or by contact printing .
JoAnn Falletta ( born February 27 , 1954 in Brooklyn , New York ) is an American conductor .
Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound organized in time . General definitions of music include common elements such as pitch ( which governs melody and harmony ) , rhythm ( and its associated concepts tempo , meter , and articulation ) , dynamics ( loudness and softness ) , and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture ( which are sometimes termed the color of a musical sound ) . Different styles or types of music may emphasize , de-emphasize or omit some of these elements . Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping ; there are solely instrumental pieces , solely vocal pieces ( such as songs without instrumental accompaniment ) and pieces that combine singing and instruments . The word derives from Greek μουσική ( mousike ; art of the Muses ) . See glossary of musical terminology . In its most general form , the activities describing music as an art form or cultural activity include the creation of works of music ( songs , tunes , symphonies , and so on ) , the criticism of music , the study of the history of music , and the aesthetic examination of music . Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies . Common sayings such as the harmony of the spheres and it is music to my ears point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to . However , 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music , saying , for example , There is no noise , only sound . The creation , performance , significance , and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context . Indeed , throughout history , some new forms or styles of music have been criticized as not being music , including Beethoven 's Grosse Fuge string quartet in 1825 , early jazz in the beginning of the 1900s and hardcore punk in the 1980s .
Wayne Thiebaud ( /ˈtiːboʊ/ TEE-boh ; born November 15 , 1920 ) is an American painter widely known for his colorful works depicting commonplace objects - pies , lipsticks , paint cans , ice cream cones , pastries , and hot dogs - as well as for his landscapes and figure paintings . Thiebaud is associated with the pop art movement because of his interest in objects of mass culture , although his early works , executed during the fifties and sixties , slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists . Thiebaud uses heavy pigment and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects , and the well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work .
Matthew Abraham Groening ( /ˈɡreɪnɪŋ/ ( listen ) GRAY-ning ; born February 15 , 1954 ) is an American cartoonist , writer , producer , animator , and voice actor . He is the creator of the comic strip Life in Hell ( 1977-2012 ) and the television series The Simpsons ( 1989-present ) , Futurama ( 1999-2003 , 2008-2013 ) , and Disenchantment ( 2018-present ) . The Simpsons is the longest-running U.S. primetime-television series in history and the longest-running U.S. animated series and sitcom . Groening made his first professional cartoon sale of Life in Hell to the avant-garde Wet magazine in 1978 . At its peak , the cartoon was carried in 250 weekly newspapers . Life in Hell caught the attention of James L. Brooks . In 1985 , Brooks contacted Groening with the proposition of working in animation for the Fox variety show The Tracey Ullman Show . Originally , Brooks wanted Groening to adapt his Life in Hell characters for the show . Fearing the loss of ownership rights , Groening decided to create something new and came up with a cartoon family , the Simpson family , and named the members after his own parents and sisters - while Bart was an anagram of the word brat . The shorts would be spun off into their own series The Simpsons , which has since aired 674 episodes . In 1997 , Groening and former Simpsons writer David X. Cohen developed Futurama , an animated series about life in the year 3000 , which premiered in 1999 , running for four years on Fox , then picked up by Comedy Central for additional seasons . In 2016 , Groening developed a new series for Netflix titled Disenchantment , which premiered in August 2018 .

Theatre or theater [ a ] is a collaborative form of performing art that uses live performers , typically actors or actresses , to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place , often a stage . The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of gesture , speech , song , music , and dance . Elements of art , such as painted scenery and stagecraft such as lighting are used to enhance the physicality , presence and immediacy of the experience . The specific place of the performance is also named by the word theatre as derived from the Ancient Greek θέατρον ( théatron , a place for viewing ) , itself from θεάομαι ( theáomai , to see , to watch , to observe ) . Modern Western theatre comes , in large measure , from the theatre of ancient Greece , from which it borrows technical terminology , classification into genres , and many of its themes , stock characters , and plot elements . Theatre artist Patrice Pavis defines theatricality , theatrical language , stage writing and the specificity of theatre as synonymous expressions that differentiate theatre from the other performing arts , literature and the arts in general . [ b ] Modern theatre includes performances of plays and musical theatre . The art forms of ballet and opera are also theatre and use many conventions such as acting , costumes and staging . They were influential to the development of musical theatre ; see those articles for more information .

Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement . This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value , and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture . [ nb 1 ] Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography , by its repertoire of movements , or by its historical period or place of origin . An important distinction is to be drawn between the contexts of theatrical and participatory dance , although these two categories are not always completely separate ; both may have special functions , whether social , ceremonial , competitive , erotic , martial , or sacred/liturgical . Other forms of human movement are sometimes said to have a dance-like quality , including martial arts , gymnastics , cheerleading , figure skating , synchronised swimming , marching bands , and many other forms of athletics .

Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions . It is one of the plastic arts . Durable sculptural processes originally used carving ( the removal of material ) and modelling ( the addition of material , as clay ) , in stone , metal , ceramics , wood and other materials but , since Modernism , there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process . A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving , assembled by welding or modelling , or molded or cast . Sculpture in stone survives far better than works of art in perishable materials , and often represents the majority of the surviving works ( other than pottery ) from ancient cultures , though conversely traditions of sculpture in wood may have vanished almost entirely . However , most ancient sculpture was brightly painted , and this has been lost . Sculpture has been central in religious devotion in many cultures , and until recent centuries large sculptures , too expensive for private individuals to create , were usually an expression of religion or politics . Those cultures whose sculptures have survived in quantities include the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean , India and China , as well as many in Central and South America and Africa . The Western tradition of sculpture began in ancient Greece , and Greece is widely seen as producing great masterpieces in the classical period . During the Middle Ages , Gothic sculpture represented the agonies and passions of the Christian faith . The revival of classical models in the Renaissance produced famous sculptures such as Michelangelo 's David . Modernist sculpture moved away from traditional processes and the emphasis on the depiction of the human body , with the making of constructed sculpture , and the presentation of found objects as finished art works .
