Art100F12Module4.1
This document provides an overview of key developments in photography and visual art from the late 19th century through the 1920s. It includes reproductions and descriptions of influential works from this period by artists such as Picasso, Duchamp, Heartfield, Höch, and others who helped establish new directions in art through their experimentation with techniques like collage and abstraction. The text also discusses the role of photography in challenging traditional approaches to painting and artistic conventions through its ability to mechanically reproduce reality.

- 44. “…if you pickup some paint with your brush and make somebody's nose with it, this is rather ridiculous when you think of it, theoretically or philosophically. It's really absurd to make an image, like a human image, with paint, today, when you think about it, since we have this problem of doing it or not doing it. But then all of a sudden it was even more absurd not to do it. So I fear I have to follow my desires.” —Willem de Kooning, in a 1962 radio interview Born in Holland, emigrated to the US Well-known abstract active 1940s-80s
