A permanent Japonisme display [New Jersey]S.E. Thompson
The Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University has inaugurated the first permanent display devoted to Japonisme, the international aesthetic movement documenting the cultural exchange between Japan and the West from the mid-19th to early 20th century. Though the works are not masterpieces, the gallery effectively presents the admiration, disdain, and misunderstandings Western artists had in adapting Japanese culture in their works. It also shows the positive and negative depictions Japanese artists had when incorporating Western culture into their works. The display provides rich evidence of the shaping of 19th-century European modernism and East Asian art through this cultural exchange.

Identity in the contexts of memory, remembrance and ceremonyLee Hutchinson
In this essay, I seek to demonstrate how the artist Susan Hiller’s installation, Monument (1980-1981) can be used to explore the theme of identity within public art and heritage. Following an introduction to both the artwork and the memorial (or monument) on which it is based, the theme is further examined in the related contexts of memory, remembrance, and ceremony. Finally, the conclusion calls for corrective action in the conceptualization and development of public space.
This document discusses gender roles in art throughout history. It notes that males have traditionally been portrayed in strong, dominant roles, while females have been narrowly depicted as mothers, religious figures, or objects of temptation. However, as cultures changed, female representations gradually expanded. Modern artworks like Self-Portrait Sideways No. 3 and Untitled Film Still #35 challenge traditional gender norms. The document also discusses the feminist critique of exclusion of women in art institutions and Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party, which honors notable women. It explores how more recent art has begun to blur gender lines, depicting figures with ambiguous or mixed characteristics.
This document discusses and compares the works of two African American artists, Henry Ossawa Tanner and Jacob Lawrence. It notes that while they painted in different centuries, both artists drew inspiration from everyday life and sought to depict the experiences of African Americans through their artwork. Their paintings often contained religious or social commentary. The document concludes that while Tanner and Lawrence both had unique styles, they were two of the most influential African American artists for realistically representing African American life and inspiring future generations.

Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005) was a Scottish artist known for pioneering Pop Art, but preferred to think of himself as a Surrealist. A new exhibition at Pallant House Gallery focuses on Paolozzi's collages, which mixed images from magazines and newspapers to comment on consumer culture and the modern world. Through his varied works in painting, sculpture, prints, and more, Paolozzi sought to express the contradictions of his time. While famous for his colorful Pop Art prints and large sculptures, this exhibition illustrates that he was much more than just a Pop artist, delving into the subconscious and wanting to say something about the changing world.
Postmodernism began as a reaction against modernism in art in the 20th century. It questioned master narratives and ideas of single meanings, instead seeing the viewer as helping determine a work's meaning. It included styles like conceptual art, minimalism, video art, performance art, and installation art. Key artists mentioned include Justin Michael Jenkins, Max Book, and Aydin Aghdashloo. Important works discussed are Roy Lichtenstein's Whaam!, Damien Hirst's Away from the Flock, and Jeff Koons' New Hoover Convertibles. Postmodernism has had influence beyond art and tried to replace ideas of the future with an eternal present.
After World War 2, the art world underwent major changes and disruptions. Modernism shifted from Paris to New York City and took on a stricter formalism under the influence of Clement Greenberg. In Europe, art reflected existentialist themes of despair through works like Francis Bacon's painting. Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York featuring gestural paintings like Pollock's. Minimalism and Pop Art also emerged, simplifying forms and using imagery of mass culture. New movements challenged assumptions through Happenings, Conceptual art, and Land art. Architecture integrated sculpture and structure in works like Wright's Guggenheim Museum.

The document summarizes key artworks and artists from the 20th century including:
- Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright, known for its cantilever design and integration with the landscape.
- The Bauhaus Building by Walter Gropius which declared modern engineering and functionality.
- Mies van der Rohe's German Pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition which emphasized simplicity and structure.
- Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye which was an icon of the International Style and featured ribbon windows and domino construction.
- Jacob Lawrence's Migration Series which chronicled the Great Migration of African Americans from the rural South to Northern cities through 60 small panels.
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.
This document provides an overview of several art movements from 1950 to modern day, including Pop Art, Neo-Geo, Kinetic Sculpture, Color Field Painting, Bay Area Figurative Art, Funk Art, Art Brut, Photo Realism, New Realism, Abstract Expressionism, Graffiti Art, Pattern and Decoration, Naive Art, Public Art, Art Appropriation, Feminist Art, Print Revival, Performance Art, and Dadaism. It describes the key characteristics, notable artists, and examples for each movement.
Clyfford Still's Untitled (1960) painting is analyzed. The massive 113 by 146.5 inch abstract work utilizes thick layers of burgundy, maroon, orange and black paint applied with palette knives, creating a textured surface. It dissolves figuration and represents a radical modern style. The work challenges traditional concepts of space and the sublime. It creates an overwhelming absolute space that seems to extend beyond the canvas edges. The lack of color contrasts pulls the viewer into the work's immaterial void. The piece reflects Still's mature style of the late 1940s-1960s that broke new ground in realizing modern art's exploration of abstract space.
This document summarizes major artistic developments and movements from the mid-20th century onwards. It discusses Neo-Dadaism, Minimalism, Pop Art, Photo-Realism, Superrealism, and Neo-Expressionism. Key artists mentioned include Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg, Andy Warhol, Richard Estes, Chuck Close, Duane Hanson, and George Segal. It also provides background historical context and describes the mediums and methods used by these influential artists.
This document provides an introduction to a group project exploring how historical art has been referenced or appropriated in popular culture. It discusses how art has become iconic and how pop culture can reference familiar images to convey new meanings. The introduction examines how understanding art history is relevant for global citizens and how art asks profound questions about the meaning of life. It also discusses how contemporary art may illuminate or have underlying motives and how the creative process involves both continuity and transformation.

2. CAG
555 Nelson Street, Vancouver
The Contemporary Art Gallery is
devoted to cultivate a setting that
explores and records the transforming
artistic practices as they are shaped
by social forces, while maintaining a
deep connection to the original place
and time of the work, and by fostering
dialogue and new understandings of
collective meanings and values.
3. Federico Herrero
Herrero (b. 1978) is an abstract painter
from Costa Rica. His work is characterized
by his use of interlocking geometric and
organic forms painted in bright colours.
He uses unconventional locations and
surfaces as his canvas for his large-scale
murals (similar to a graffiti artist), which
directly addresses the division between
art and social life, that challenges the
notion that art is a specialized commodity.
4. Vibrantes, commissioned by the CAG, is a window mural with its name derived from the “kinetic”
energy created by the overlapping and mixing colours of the vinyl. The energy is also
a reference to the dynamics of the work, in that its intensity, opacity, and saturation is constantly shifting in conjunction
with the unpredictable Vancouver weather. Essentially, the vibrancy of his work pulses with the energy of its urban context.
5. Thomas Bewick
Tale-pieces
Bewick (1753-1828) is an English wood
engraver, artist, and naturalist. The works
in Tale-pieces are from natural history books
that he illustrated for. These ornamental images
were usually placed in the empty spaces on the
bottom of the page or after a paragraph.
The exhibit requires the viewers to look
at his vignettes through a magnifying glass,
which shows his fine attention to detail, and his
(sometimes dark) sense of humour in use with
his wood engraving skills.
6. Corita Kent
T create is to relate
o
Kent (1918-1986) is a pop artist known for her brightly
coloured serigraph prints. She taught art since the 1950s
at the Immaculate Heart College in California and was
known as Sister Corita Kent until she left the order in
1968 when she moved to Boston to fully pursue her art.
Her teaching techniques were just as innovative as her
creations in that she taught her students different ways
of seeing, and was admired by other designers and artists
such as Charles and Ray Eames, and Saul Bass.
7. Kent mixes advertising slogans, song lyrics,
and poetry. This de-contextualizing of text is
juxtaposed by her layering and “cut and paste”
collaging.
Through her art, she expresses her spiritual,
social, and political beliefs (including topics on
racism, poverty, feminism, and desire for social
justice and peace during the Vietnam war).
Similar to Herrero, her works also assert the
continuum between daily life and art in that
it should not be separated from our
everyday experience
