Impressionism
The origin of artist’s revolution
• The advent of the Second Empire
(1852-70) was to mark a rupture in
the artistic history of the XIXth
century in France, between official
art on one side, and independent
art on the other side.
• The cultural policy of Napoleon !
encenses an insipid academic
art (the so called "pompier" style),
covered with honors by the political
power and ruling over the Academy "
of Fine Arts, and disparages
a realistic art.

• DADA / The Non-art Movement (1916-23)

• Dada was, officially, not a movement, its artists not artists and its art not art.

• Dada was a literary and artistic movement born in Europe at a time when
the horror of World War I was being played out in what amounted to
citizens'front yards.

• Due to the war, a number of artists, writers and intellectuals - notably of


French and German nationality - found themselves congregating in the
refuge that Zurich (in neutral Switzerland) offered.

• Far from merely feeling relief at their respective escapes, this bunch was
pretty ticked off that modern European society would allow the war to have
happened. They were so angry, in fact, that they undertook the time-
honored artistic tradition of protesting.

Surrealism
• Surrealism is a cultural movement and artistic style that was founded in
1924 by Andre Breton. Surrealism style uses visual imagery from the
subconscious mind to create art without the intention of logical
comprehensibility.

• The movement was begun primarily in Europe, centered in Paris, and


attracted many of the members of the Dada community. Influenced by
the psychoanalytical work of Freud and Jung, there are similarities
between the Surrealist movement and the Symbolist movement of the
late 19th century.

• Some of the greatest artists of the 20th century became involved in the
Surrealist movement, and the group included Giorgio de Chirico, Man
Ray, Ren Magritte, and many others.

• The Surrealist movement eventually spread across the globe, and has
influenced artistic endeavors from painting and sculpture to pop music
and film directing.

• The greatest known Surrealist artist is the world famous Salvador Dali.

• The Abstract Expressionists sought to
express their subconscious through their art.
They also shared an interest in Jung' s ideas
on myth, ritual and memory (inspired by
exhibitions of African and American Indian art
in 1935 and 1941 respectively) and
conceived an almost Romantic view of the
artist, seeing their painting as a way of life
and themselves as disillusioned
commentators on contemporary society after
the Depression and the Second World War.

Pop Art

• Lawrence Alloway (1926–1990), the critic who first


used the term in print in 1958, conceived of Pop art
as the lower end of a popular-art to fine-art
continuum, encompassing such forms as
advertising, science-fiction illustration and
automobile styling.

• Richard Hamilton defined Pop in 1957 as: ‘Popular


(designed for a mass audience); Transient (short
term solution); Expendable (easily forgotten); Low
Cost; Mass Produced; Young (aimed at Youth);
Witty; Sexy; Gimmicky; Glamorous; and Big
Business’.

Screenprint, Composition: 19 5/16 x 25 1/8" (49.1 x 63.8 cm)
• American Pop art emerged suddenly in the early 1960s and was in
general characterized by a stark and emblematic presentation that
contrasted with the narrative and analytical tendencies of its British
counterpart. At its most rigorous, American Pop art insisted on a
direct relationship between its use of the imagery of mass
production and its adoption of modern technological procedures.
• Whereas British Pop art often celebrated or satirized consumer
culture, American Pop artists tended to have a more ambiguous
attitude towards their subject-matter, nowhere more so than in the
mixture of glamour and pathos that characterized Andy Warhol’s
silkscreened icons of Hollywood film stars, as in The Marilyn
Diptych (1962; London,Tate).

HOW WOMEN GET MAXIMUM EXPOSURE IN ART MUSEUMS


Asked to design a billboard for the Public Art Fund in New York, we welcomed the chance to
do something that would appeal to a general audience One Sunday morning we conducted a
weenie count at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, comparing the number of nude
males to nude females in the artworks on display The results were very revealing
The PAF said our design wasn't clear enough ???? and rejected it We then rented advertising
space on NYC buses and ran it ourselves, until the bus company canceled our lease, saying
that the image, based on Ingres' famous Odalisque, was too suggestive and that the figure
appeared to have more than a fan in her hand
