Progressive era
Progressivism was a 20th century political movement that promoted reforms to improve public health, end political corruption, and expand women's rights through policies addressing issues like slum housing conditions. Muckrakers, such as Ida Tarbell who exposed corruption at the Standard Oil Company, spread information about scandals and abuses to the public and influence politics. A notable event was the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire that killed 146 garment workers and increased support for reforms of unsafe working conditions.

The document discusses the Leg Splint designed by Charles and Ray Eames during World War II for the U.S. Navy. The Eames were commissioned to create a lightweight splint that was more comfortable for wounded soldiers. Their solution used molded plywood, which allowed compound curves that were flexible but strong. Mastering this molding technique led directly to their influential molded plastic chairs and other mid-century designs. The leg splint pioneered a new approach to furniture design focused on ergonomics, materials, and mass production.

This exhibition explores how women artists have used montage techniques like filmmaking, photo collage, and pictorial collage to reclaim representations of the female body and interrogate gender norms. A central work is Carolee Schneemann's 1967 film Body Collage, which shows her applying paper fragments to her body. Other artists represented use collage to examine the social construction of gender identity, including Hannah Höch, Kara Walker, and Mickalene Thomas. The curator argues these works can be understood as performing an "ethnographic excavation" and engaging with theories of gender performativity and "desiring machines" to dismantle fixed notions of gender through montage.

Galanter evolution_of_style_and_gigantism_in_new_media_art.pdf
This document discusses the trend towards gigantism in new media art and explores possible explanations for this trend. It summarizes the views of art historian Heinrich Wölfflin and psychologist Colin Martindale on the evolution of artistic style. Martindale's model suggests that artists seek novelty to maintain audience arousal potential, leading styles to evolve through increasing use of primordial cognition and gigantism in scale. The document analyzes works by artists like Chris Burden that exemplify this trend and the psychological factors that may drive stylistic changes over long periods.

From Object to concept: environment, performance, and installation art
This document provides an overview of postmodern art movements that emerged in response to modernism, including minimalism, conceptual art, performance art, body art, earthworks, and installation art. It discusses how these genres emphasized ideas over visual forms, incorporated elements of theatre and audience participation, and challenged definitions of art. Key artists mentioned include Robert Morris, Joseph Kosuth, Vito Acconci, Chris Burden, Richard Serra, Michael Heizer, Robert Smithson, and Bruce Nauman. It also summarizes Michael Fried's criticism of minimalism and Rosalind Krauss' theory of sculpture's "expanded field."
Mathematical Models and Modern Art
Paper from the Bridges 2010 conference proceedings. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s mathematicians were creating models of mathematical surfaces out of plaster, wire, and other materials. These models were used to illustrate research and for university instruction. Gradually, mathematical interest in these models faded, but the models themselves were still on display in universities and museums. Here they were found by several artists from the Constructivist and Surrealist movements, two movements of abstract art that were active in the early 20th century. Artists from each of these movements drew some inspiration from these models of surfaces. We trace the paths of this influence, concluding with some locations in which models can still be found as well as some current artistic interest.

ARCHIGRAM
Archigram was an experimental architecture group formed in the 1960s in London. The group is known for producing conceptual designs for walking cities, instant cities, and plug-in cities that incorporated emerging technologies and drew inspiration from pop culture and science fiction. Their designs represented a rejection of the austerity and formality of postwar modernist architecture in favor of mobile, flexible cities that celebrated technology and consumerism. Their conceptual projects were published in Archigram, an avant-garde magazine they founded, helping them gain prominence and influence architectural thought in the 1960s and beyond.

Contemporary Art Essay
Modern art emerged in the late 1800s as artists broke from traditional styles and subjects to experiment. Two influential modern works were Jay DeFeo's giant painting "The Jewel" from 1958-1959 and Frantisek Kupka's "Irregular Forms: Creation." While using the same medium of oil paint on canvas, the works conveyed very different feelings. DeFeo's piece was lush and organic, while Kupka's had a sense of movement and energy. Contemporary art continued experimenting with new styles, subjects, and mediums in the 20th century while also addressing social and political issues of the time.

“Getting” Contemporary Art
It’s ironic that many people say they don’t “get” contemporary art because, unlike Egyptian tomb
painting or Greek sculpture, art made since 1960 reflects our own recent past. It speaks to the
dramatic social, political and technological changes of the last 50 years, and it questions many of
society’s values and assumptions—a tendency of postmodernism, a concept sometimes used to
describe contemporary art. What makes today’s art especially challenging is that, like the world
around us, it has become more diverse and cannot be easily defined through a list of visual
characteristics, artistic themes or cultural concerns.
Minimalism and Pop Art paved the way for later artists to explore questions about the conceptual
nature of art, its form, its production, and its ability to communicate in different ways. In the late
1960s and 1970s, these ideas led to a “dematerialization of art,” when artists turned away from
painting and sculpture to experiment with new formats including photography, film and video,
performance art, large-scale installations and earth works. Although some critics of the time
foretold “the death of painting,” art today encompasses a broad range of traditional and
experimental media, including works that rely on Internet technology and other scientific
innovations.

Introduction to Art Chapter 31: Postmodernity and Global Cultures 449
Contemporary artists continue to use a varied vocabulary of abstract and representational forms
to convey their ideas. It is important to remember that the art of our time did not develop in a
vacuum; rather, it reflects the social and political concerns of its cultural context. For example,
artists like Judy Chicago, who were inspired by the feminist movement of the early 1970s,
embraced imagery and art forms that had historical connections to women.
In the 1980s, artists appropriated the style and methods of mass media advertising to investigate
issues of cultural authority and identity politics. More recently, artists like Maya Lin, who
designed the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Wall in Washington D.C., and Richard Serra, who was
loosely associated with Minimalism in the 1960s, have adapted characteristics of Minimalist art
to create new abstract sculptures that encourage more personal interaction and emotional
response among viewers.
These shifting strategies to engage the viewer show how contemporary art’s significance exists
beyond the object itself. Its meaning develops from cultural discourse, interpretation and a range
of individual understandings, in addition to the formal and conceptual problems that first
motivated the artist ...

Week 13 Contemporary Art (Deconstructivism)
Deconstructivism began in the late 1980s as a development of postmodern architecture influenced by deconstruction theory. It is characterized by buildings with unpredictable and chaotic visual appearances. A 1988 MoMA exhibition featuring works by Gehry, Libeskind, Koolhaas, Eisenman, Hadid, Coop Himmelblau, and Tschumi brought the movement fame. Deconstructivism was influenced by minimalism, cubism, and analytical cubism through dissecting forms from different perspectives, as well as expressionist movements through non-linear and abstracted structures.

Le Corbusier had a significant influence on the emergence of aesthetic values in modern architecture in Cyprus. The paper examines how Le Corbusier's principles from the early 20th century, such as his five points of architecture, impacted the work of Cypriot architect Neoptolemos Michaelides, considered the father of modern Cypriot architecture. Two of Michaelides' works, his private residence and the first residential project he designed, are analyzed as case studies that demonstrate the influence of Le Corbusier's emphasis on simplicity, rationality, and functionality.Press Packet Tsb 2 2 2012

During the Renaissance period lots of changes were made within the world of art and the concept of it all. During that period so many new ways and concepts of how art was done, whether it be sculptures, paintings, or any other type of art. Renaissance art differed from the prior period, because a lot more architecture was being created and had a whole new perspective and deeper sense of dimensional effects.
The work between an Italian Renaissance artist and a Northern European Renaissance artist contrast by, focusing on the different details and abilities when it came to their art. Italian artist liked to focus and understand more of the human anatomy aspects of the art, and the northern focused more on surface details and naturalism. The northern also like to focus on portraits, while the Italian focused more on classical mythology. The Italian and northern European artist compared by, both focusing on religious scenes of art and glorifying the power of God. They both also focused on making paintings and different art more realistic.
The different concerns and heritages of the Italian and Northern Renaissance artists that resulted in the different characteristics would be, the way both of them viewed and had a perspective on how their own art should be. Both worshiped and focused a lot towards the higher power and God, but at the same time even has nudity within their different artworks.

Within art, the earliest century of the Renaissance has many differences from previous periods of time. During the Renaissance time period, the artist focused on recreating nature in the form of art and primarily focused on the underlying beauty of nature and how nature plays a vital role in the day to day life. Renaissance art is one of the only types of art that does not focus or generate ideas from religion but rather focuses on the idea of real-life and the linear perspective. The Early Renaissance began in Italy, which led to the realism aspect that would eventually become the center of Renaissance art. Beginning in the 14th century, the artist Masaccio was the most popular artist during this time. Masaccio became famous for his work within churches, specifical.

This document provides an overview of key developments in art since the 1950s. It discusses the rise of abstract expressionism and its influence on new forms like assemblage, happenings, and performance art. Artists like Rauschenberg, Kaprow, and Beuys staged multimedia performances that combined different elements. Pop art, exemplified by Warhol and Lichtenstein, incorporated popular culture imagery. Minimalism emerged to reduce artworks to basic forms using industrial materials, as seen in Donald Judd's identical rectangular units. The text explores how these new movements reflected the political, economic, and social changes in the post-World War II era.

Italian artist liked to focus and understand more of the human anatomy aspects of the art, and the northern focused more on surface details and naturalism. The northern also like to focus on portraits, while the Italian focused more on classical mythology. The Italian and northern European artist compared by, both focusing on religious scenes of art and glorifying the power of God. They both also focused on making paintings and different art more realistic.
The different concerns and heritages of the Italian and Northern Renaissance artists that resulted in the different characteristics would be, the way both of them viewed and had a perspective on how their own art should be. Both worshiped and focused a lot towards the higher power and God, but at the same time even has nudity within their different artworks.

Within art, the earliest century of the Renaissance has many differences from previous periods of time. During the Renaissance time period, the artist focused on recreating nature in the form of art and primarily focused on the underlying beauty of nature and how nature plays a vital role in the day to day life. Renaissance art is one of the only types of art that does not focus or generate ideas from religion but rather focuses on the idea of real-life and the linear perspective. The Early Renaissance began in Italy, which led to the realism aspect that would eventually become the center of Renaissance art.

This document provides an overview of key developments in art since the 1950s. It discusses the rise of abstract expressionism and its influence on new forms like assemblage, happenings, and performance art. Artists like Rauschenberg, Kaprow, and Beuys staged multimedia performances that combined different elements. Pop art, exemplified by Warhol and Lichtenstein, incorporated popular culture imagery. Minimalism emerged to reduce artworks to basic forms using industrial materials, as seen in Donald Judd's identical rectangular units. The text explores how these new movements reflected the political, economic, and social changes in the post-World War II era.

This document discusses the ongoing and diverse state of surrealism as an artistic movement. It argues that surrealism never died, as some assume, but has evolved and diversified into many related styles including visionary art, fantastic art, and others that all derive from André Breton's original definition of surrealism. It provides examples of leading contemporary surrealist artists from around the world working in different mediums. The essay also discusses how surrealism has influenced other creative fields like comics, animation, and mass media like manga, and how new genres like "pop surrealism" and "massurrealism" have emerged as artists incorporate pop culture imagery.

- 1. Across the spectrum: Art and Design Degree Show 2016 LJMU’s Corporate Communications Department has taken on two student interns this summer. Their first job was to cover the Degree Show at the Liverpool School of Art and Design: here’s what second year creative writing student Hazel Clarke thought of the final year show Creative Writing student Hazel Clarke The Art and Design Degree Show showcasesthe works of final year students, featuring a wide range of subjects, including architecture, fashion, fine art, history of art, spatial design and graphic design and illustration. In the Architecture exhibit, there was a running theme of sphericaldesigns. First, there was an innovative modelfor a house with a spherical outdoor decorationby Michalis Malekkidis. The two innovative designs that struck me the most however were Lewys Taylor’s People Feedthe People and Aimee Cornelius’ New Brighton Nirvana: From Fragments to Harmony. Lewys Taylor’s People Feed the People
- 2. Taylor’sdesignfeatureda cylindricaltower block with sections jutting out, purpose-built to address the need to increase foodproductionwithin urban areas. Cornelius’ structure was similar in design but was used as a building that was the last resort in a poor seaside town, a shadow of its former self. These two complementary designs exhibit different ideas for the future of humanity’s survivalthrough architecturaldesign. Taylor’smodelconveysoptimismfor the future of the human race, whereas Cornelius’ interpretation of the same theme conveysacontrasting pessimism. The spherical structure was carriedthrough into the Graphic Design and Illustrationexhibit with Andy Broken’s Experimental Pattern piece and Abigail Scott’s New Scientistdesign, which featureda circle that highlighted evolutionand colour perceptionwithin humans and animals, through the rainbow spectrum; multicolourswere also used in Jamie Monkman’s Scratching the Surface, which exploredthe impact of visualinspiration that can be found by looking a little closer at immediate and familiar surroundings. Jamie Monkman’s Scratching the Surface (detail) The Graphic Design and Illustrationexhibit also had a parallel theme of politics. In Liv Foster’s Big A Little A, the pieces designed were intended to be an accompaniment to the song of the same name criticisingMargaret Thatcher’stime as Prime Minister, as well as Queen Elizabeth II’sreign. RoslynCrossley’stypographic pieces, titled Oh Jeremy, were a direct oppositionto Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, asCrossley sidedwith the junior doctors. Another political piece was exhibitedby Rachael Fletcher, Existential Threats, which explored the negative effectsof global warming on the world’s most stunning environments, beautifully executedwith laser-cut card and foam board.
- 3. Rachael Fletcher’s Existential Threats The entire show also took a lot of inspiration from other cultures, including Japanese. One set that stood out were Abigail Scott’sillustrations Kawaii Desu, which featured her own designs inspired by the Japanese subculture of Lolita fashion. Other exhibitorslookedat South Korean and Chinese influences on present day fashion. Abigail Scott’s Kawaii Desu Beautiful exhibits, well displayed, showing a wealth of both researchand experimentalism, suggests an overallpositive future for the students from the LiverpoolSchoolof Art and Design.
