Creating Conceptual Art
Creating conceptual art is finishing touch most artist are attempting to convey. The art is composed into different types of conceptual art media. Most of which we incorporate into our daily living. Types such as photography, film, video, computer, and media. The idea is to create a piece of art that will capture attention to give the audience the experience and feeling of the artist. Any time of art will always share a feeling of the finished product with the audience, art will always share some type of feeling with the audience by incorporating elements together. Artist use bold colors,soft shades, shapes, or really bold lines. What the artist is trying to convey is a feeling, a message by incorporating the most profound detail on their art.
In 1988, a very famous painting, Yasumasa Morimura's Portrait (Futago) typical example of the portrait (Futago) intentionally based on Eduard Manet's Olympia(1863), a master piece of western canon. Morimura imitate Manet's historic masterpiece by recreating the scenes of 'Olympia' through wearing wig, make-up and creating the similar setting.

Morimura has posed himself as both Manet’s Olympia, her maid, manipulating the photograph with computer in his studio. On the other hand, like Japanes culture as a whole, he is copying the icons of Western culture.

The idea has been known and the message will continue to be passed down from generation to generation. After analyzing the image and its message it reminded me of society. Friend,family, and even famous celebrities exposing their sexuality to the world. The male in the painting is wearing a wig, woman shoes and is posing naked positioning his body just like a woman’s body is would be angled when posing. The resemblance of the message of the image and my personal opinion coincide. The revelation of many famous and none-famous individuals of allowing the world to know their true sexual identity.
The world can be very judgmental when opening up about the change of sexual orientation. Many people in the world are programed to believe a male and woman were maid for one another by the creation of god. A male and a male is a couple as it is a woman and a male.
