Hubert Dupret

This artist focuses on the history of art: the different inventions that expanded the art world, the new ideas that developed over time, how everyone's view of art started to change as people began to branch out more and try "daring" pieces not knowing whether they are going to be hated or loved.
To be honest i'd be kind of afraid to be one of the firsts to branch out. Back in time i'd probably make a piece but never really display it due to some of the negative feedback that I'm sure many artists have recieved. However in today's time one mustn't be afraid to try something new. For now, just about anything is accepted. Sure there are going to be a few that dislike it, but at least you made your step in putting your piece out there for the world to see. I'ts like "hey! look what i made!!" lol

A lot of technology got a change in the art world as well.
Photography invention added a lot to still life images representing a moment in time. Computers are now made to where you can modify just about anything. Whether it's a still image, a sound, a video, even words on a document. All you have to do is know the skills behind the technique and there you go. Interesting how far the art history has changed throughout the decades of time itself.
Dupret was also trying to get into the resurrecting of art history to be more specific. He mentions how an artist is to seek inspiration whether it's through themes, images, forms that compromise annals of art, etc.
However, his one main goal in many of this pieces is to provide an emotion, a surprise, or even a wonder to the viewer. Surely we all try to get a message out there to the viewers as artists. We want them to be able to understand what it is that we are thinking, trying to say, or see the idea through our point of view. If we can get that message across w/o actually having to say it, then i say that's an accomplishment all on it's own. However it's always going to be the few that never get it.
