Postmodern art
This document provides an overview of postmodernism across various artistic disciplines from the 1960s onward. It summarizes some of the key characteristics and qualities of postmodernist works, including extreme self-reflexivity, the breakdown of boundaries between high and low cultural forms, a questioning of grand narratives, and a focus on visuality, simulacra, and temporal experimentation. Various postmodern artists and artworks are referenced as examples that demonstrate these postmodern concepts and traits.
Art movements explained
Classical art adheres to principles established by ancient Greek and Roman master artists regarding the representation of the human form and its environment. It is usually based on religious or mythical figures, with idealized bodies in active poses. Order and harmony are emphasized over individual beauty. Neoclassical art was produced later but drew inspiration from classical works. It refers to the styles of artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo during the Renaissance who were influenced by ancient classical principles and rules.
Avant garde
The term "avant-garde" originated in the 19th century in France to describe artists who pioneered new ideas and styles in their work. It referred to those who acted as the vanguard or advance party for art. Henri de Saint-Simon first used the term to describe how artists could spread new ideas through their works and exert positive influence over society. Avant-garde art is generally considered to have begun in the 1850s with Gustave Courbet's realist works and continued through successive modern art movements. While some avant-garde styles focused on innovations in form, others had strong social programs as well. The term continues to describe radical or original contemporary art that challenges existing ideas and conventions. However, avant-
Futurism
1. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti founded Futurism in Italy in 1909 as both a social and artistic movement that celebrated speed, technology, youth and violence in the modern industrial world.
2. Futurism glorified World War I as an "aesthetic spectacle" and admired the modern aspects of speed, machinery and urban life over all things in the past.
3. The movement spread internationally and influenced various art forms through manifestos, with Futurist paintings, sculptures and architecture embracing and depicting the dynamic new technological age through techniques like those exploring motion and movement.
Surrealism
Surrealism was a cultural movement that began in the 1920s known for its visual artworks and writings. It aimed to revolutionize human experience by freeing people from false rationality and restrictive customs. Surrealist works featured surprise and unexpected juxtapositions. Famous surrealist artists included Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, and Max Ernst who painted dreamlike scenes combining unrelated objects to challenge rational thought.
Dadaism
Dadaism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement that was founded in Zurich in 1916 in reaction to World War I. It rejected reason and logic and emphasized chaos and irrationality through anti-art styles and shock value. Some of the most famous Dadaists included Marcel Duchamp, whose "Fountain" was a urinal signed and submitted as a sculpture, Max Ernst, known for his surreal collage paintings, and Francis Picabia, who formed a Dada group in Barcelona and created the painting "Amorous Parade."
Avant-garde
The document discusses different avant-garde art movements that emerged in Europe following World War 1. It provides brief descriptions of 12 avant-garde styles including Futurism, Expressionism, Cubism, Dada, Surrealism, Fauvism, Constructivism, Conceptual Art, Land Art, and Minimalism. The movements generally aimed to reject traditional styles and find new ways of artistic expression, being inspired by science and technology. They developed new rules and assumptions about how to approach and create art.
Futurism in art
Italian Futurist art movement of the early 20th century. The presentation focusses on the work of the 5 principal Italian futurist painters, the range of paintings created roughly between 1908-1916.

Cubism powerpoint
Cubism emerged in France in the early 1900s led by Picasso and Braque who were influenced by Cezanne's geometric breakdown of forms. They depicted objects from multiple perspectives simultaneously on canvas. This analytical cubism gave way to synthetic cubism where collage elements were incorporated. Other notable cubists included Gris, Delaunay, Leger, and Duchamp. While revolutionary, cubism was highly controversial as it broke conventions and its abstract forms were difficult for audiences to understand. Over time it had a massive influence on modern art.
20th Century Art
The document provides an overview of the major art movements in the 20th century. It discusses how modern art reflected the changing times with cameras making realistic art obsolete and mass production making art marketable. Artists valued originality over beauty and would shock audiences if they couldn't please them. Key movements discussed include Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and Post-Modernism. Major artists from each movement like Picasso, Kandinsky, Pollock, and Warhol are also mentioned.
Cubism
Cubism was an influential early 20th century avant-garde art movement developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque between 1907-1914. It involved depicting subjects from multiple viewpoints to represent three-dimensional forms on a two-dimensional surface and breaking up objects into geometric shapes. Cubism revolutionized European painting and influenced many other art movements.
History of western art (Giotto, Masaccio)
Early Renaissance is the era which heralded the age of exploration. Digging into the Golden ages of Greek past civilization, this period added its own interpretation to art as well all other fields that went parallel to it. Early Renaissance provided the first steps towards the high mountain peak of the Renaissance period. Bridging the past values and rich culture of Greece to the neo classical period.
Giotto is propably the first artist to have embraced the change which was needed in art. That's why he is considered to be a "father of Western pictorial art".
Cubism
Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement founded by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cubism involved depicting subjects from multiple viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. The artists fragmented objects and reassembled them in an abstracted form rather than using single-point perspective. This allowed for objects to be analyzed from multiple angles and depicted simultaneously on a two-dimensional surface. Cubism revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture.
Impressionism
1. Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that originated in Paris in the 1870s-1880s. Artists used short, thick brushstrokes of unblended color applied side-by-side to capture light and color rather than details.
2. Key characteristics included emphasizing the play of natural light, using pure colors rather than black for shadows, and painting outdoors (en plein air) to represent reflections on surfaces.
3. Founding members like Monet, Degas, and others broke from the Salon and Royal Academy and held independent exhibitions, though their unfinished style was initially panned
Surrealism
Surrealism was an artistic movement that began in the early 1920s. It emphasized tapping into the subconscious mind to create dreamlike scenes and juxtapose unrelated objects. The founder was Andre Breton, who defined it as resolving the contradictions between dream and reality. Surrealist artists painted scenes with photographic precision but illogical elements, combining everyday objects in strange ways. The movement inspired other fields like film, literature, fashion and challenged conventional views of reality.

Neo-classicism focused on Greek/Roman styles and humanism over religion. Romanticism contrasted classicism and used emotion to inspire works. Realism believed truth has its own beauty and represented social issues. Impressionism focused on light, basic shapes, and nature's influence. Post-Impressionism became more symbolic and rejected realistic nature inspiration.
Expressionism
Expressionism was an artistic movement that portrayed inner emotions, spiritual independence, and psychological states through distorted figures and intense use of color. Artists expressed subjective experiences rather than objective reality. Common themes included anxiety, alienation, and violence. Major expressionist groups included Der Blaue Reiter which emphasized intuition and symbolism, and Die Brücke which linked cultures and past/present.

Introduction to post modernism
Postmodernism is difficult to define but can be understood through three approaches: historical, stylistic, and theoretical. Historically, it emerged as a reaction against modernism and its ideals of progress, reason, and objective truth. Theoretically, thinkers like Lyotard, Baudrillard, and Jameson analyzed postmodernism's rejection of "grand narratives" and emphasis on surface and pastiche over depth. Stylistically, postmodern texts play with conventions, embrace uncertainty, and reference other works through parody and pastiche.
Postmodernism for Beginners
This document provides an overview of key concepts in postmodernism. It contrasts modern and postmodern eras, noting that postmodernism involves fragmentation, uncertainty, and constant choice rather than clear structure and identity. Some key features of postmodernism discussed include relativism, consumerism, transforming identity, disillusionment with progress, and the impacts of globalization and technology. Examples like reality TV, Disneyland, and blending religious practices are used to illustrate postmodern concepts.
Postmodern presentation
Postmodernism literature emerged in the 1940s as a reaction to modernism. It lacks unified principles and is characterized by irony, playfulness, and black humor. Postmodern works blend genres and reference pop culture. Influential authors include Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon, and Tim O'Brien, who use metafiction and paranoia in novels like Catch-22, Slaughterhouse Five, and The Things They Carried.
Modernism & postmodernism in architecture
Modernist architecture emerged in the late 19th to early 20th century as a philosophical movement to reconcile architectural design with technological advancement. It emphasized form following function through simplicity and clarity. Postmodernist architecture arose in the late 20th century as a reaction against modernism, replacing its functional forms with diverse aesthetics through pluralism, irony, and contextual references. Notable modernist architects included Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, while postmodernists included Michael Graves and Philip Johnson.
Postmodernism lesson 2
This document provides an overview of modernism and introduces some key concepts related to modernity. It discusses how modernism emerged from the late 19th century with the rise of industrialization, capitalism, secularization, and urbanization. Modernism rejected tradition and was inspired by science and technology. The document introduces ideas from Frederick Taylor on scientific management and Henry Ford on assembly line production. It provides some examples of modernist art and film. The document then begins to introduce postmodernism and some differences from modernism, such as a shift to new information technologies and globalization.
Parody and pastiche - Postmodernism
This document discusses parody and pastiche as examples of intertextuality, which is defining a work's meaning through references to other texts. Parody imitates another work's style for comic effect or ridicule, while pastiche borrows elements without mockery. Both are common in postmodern works and rely on audience familiarity with other media. Some critics like Linda Hutcheon view parody and pastiche positively as offering critique, while Frederic Jameson sees pastiche as "blank" mimicry without political meaning. The document asks questions about examples of intertextuality and why critics dislike postmodern uses of parody and pastiche.
Post Modernism and Strinati
Postmodernism refers to social, political and cultural attitudes that emerged in the late 20th century in reaction to modernism. It is characterized by (1) the breakdown between culture and society due to media saturation, (2) an emphasis on style over substance in cultural products, and (3) the breakdown of distinctions between high and popular culture. Postmodern works often feature a confusion over time and space due to modern communication technologies, and reject universal "grand narratives" in favor of personal interpretations. The document provides several examples of postmodernism in art, architecture, literature and media to illustrate these concepts.
Post Modernism & Post-Modern Music
The document discusses post-modernism in music from the 1930s onward. It describes how post-modernism marked a period of fragmentation and experimentation following modernism, with no single dominant musical style. Composers experimented with new techniques and philosophies, leading to greater diversity and definitions of music. Examples discuss composers like Philip Glass, Gunther Schuller, and George Crumb, who incorporated influences like minimalism, jazz fusion, and unusual instruments and techniques.
Post modernism
Postmodernism in architecture emerged in the 1950s-1970s as a rejection of modernism's strict formalism and functionalism. It emphasized ornamentation, contextuality, and eclecticism by incorporating historical elements and references. Some key characteristics included hybridity, contradiction, ambiguity, and inclusion of historical styles. Prominent postmodern architects included Robert Venturi, Philip Johnson, Charles Moore, and Michael Graves, whose works featured classical references and symbolic ornamentation. Postmodernism remains influential today through its emphasis on diversity and contextual design.
Modernism vs postmodernism
Modernism and Postmodernism are two cultural movements that show differences. Modernism occurred between the 1860s-1940s and valued original works and logical thinking. Postmodernism began after 1968 and questioned modernism, believing thinking was irrational and there was no absolute truth. It favored applied art over original works and used digital media.
Postmodernism and Deconstructivism
This presentation is overview about postmodernism and deconstructivism. Art works of various artists are covered in this presentation
Conceptual approach
The conceptual approach is choosing and defining content to be taught through big ideas that lead students to discover laws and principles of a subject. It uses a conceptual scheme including terms, concepts, generalizations, and principles to synthesize facts into a simple statement of truth. The conceptual attainment process defines concepts by comparing examples and non-examples until a definition is derived through inductive learning. Conceptual formation helps students think effectively by refining their understanding when approaching new information.
Modernism and Postmodernism
Modernism and postmodernism are literary movements that experimented with form and style in response to social and historical conditions. Modernism flourished in the early 20th century as writers explored fragmented perspectives and psychological theories. Postmodernism emerged after World War II and further challenged conventions through genres like the absurd and antinovel. Theorists like Lyotard and Baudrillard analyzed how postmodernism questions metanarratives and the distinction between reality and simulations.
works of Aldo Rossi
Aldo Rossi was an Italian architect and theorist known for his rational modern style. One of his most famous works is the San Cataldo Cemetery in Modena, Italy completed in 1971. The cemetery complex features a red cubic ossuary at the entrance and parallel running ossuaries representing the human bone structure. Another notable work is the Scholastic Building in New York City from 2001, which fits into the historic context of Soho through uniform height and materials but stands out with its cylindrical columns and ornate rear facade.

Introducing the Museum
This session reviews the interview you conducted last week and begins to look at the question: what is a museum?
For this assignment you are going to look at the art and architectur.docx
For this assignment you are going to look at the art and architecture created by the people we are studying this semester. Art is not just fun to look at, it tells us something significant about the people that created it. This is a chance for you to look at the objects people created in the past and to use those objects to discover more about history.
Assignment Instructions:
This assignment will require you to use your knowledge of the different civilizations we have discussed and apply them to understanding the art created in the places and times covered by this class. Choose one of the following pieces of art or architecture:
The Cave Paintings at Lascoux
,
KV62, the Tomb of King Tutankamun
,
Doryphorus
,
Emperor Qin's Terracotta Army
Sutton Hoo Burial Site
Augustus of Prima Porta

You will write a two to three page paper on the art or architecture you chose. Your paper should answer the following:
-What civilization does this art represent?
-What is the title of the piece?
-Who is the artist (if possible)?
-Why did you choose this piece?
-How was the piece created? What is the medium?
-Why was the piece created?
-What does this work tell you about the civilization that created it?
Purpose of the Assignment:
This assignment is designed to give you an interdisciplinary approach to understanding history. People produced much more than written documents throughout history. Humans have long created art, even before they developed into civilizations. Artistic representations reflect the beliefs, customs, norms, mores, and social structures of people, though sometimes it takes time to understand what is being conveyed by a piece of art. By looking closely, we get a visual representation of the people and societies that existed in the past. By studying the visual remnants of the past, it also gives students the opportunity to tap into different learning styles and concepts.

Put yourself in the position of an up-and-coming artist living in early-sixteenth-century Italy. Now imagine trying to distinguish yourself from the other artists living in your town: Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo, or Titian. Is it any wonder that the Italian High Renaissance lasted only 30 years?
— Jerry Saltz
New needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements ... the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture.
— Jackson Pollock (American abstract-expressionist painter, 1912–1956)
Part 1
A renaissance in a culture can be described as a "rebirth" a "new beginning," or "resurgence." In art, some of the periods of art are considered a "renaissance" of new stylistic choices that inspired artists. However, the culture at large can also be affected by a renaissance as architects, writers, musicians and other creative professionals embrace change. After reflecting on the quotes above, discus with classmates:
What are your impressions of a "renaissance" or a "new birth" occurring in a culture?
Can you think of a renaissance that has happened in the last 20 years in art, music, technology, or education?
Part 2

Here are descriptions of the two artworks:
1. Parallel Lines by Ann Hamilton is a mixed media installation presented in two separate rooms as part of the 1991 Sao Paulo Biennial art exhibition in Brazil. It likely featured found objects and textiles arranged in a way to divide and connect the two spaces. The title references the parallel nature of the two parts existing simultaneously but separately.
2. The Basilica of Hagia Sophia is a 6th century church located in Istanbul, Turkey that was originally constructed as an Orthodox Christian cathedral but now serves as a museum. Notable for its massive dome structures, it exemplifies the architectural achievements and mathematical/engineering principles of Byzantine building techniques during the early Christian period.

Art makes society an introductory visual essay.pdf
This article discusses how art helps constitute social relations in four key ways:
1) Art creates sites for shared social interaction and participation.
2) People use art to create and assert models for social relations and represent social groups.
3) Art serves as cultural capital, marking members of society through shared knowledge or access.
4) Art can be used for exclusion or resisting authority, challenging power relations.
The article aims to move beyond viewing art as objects for individual aesthetic appreciation, and instead considers how art is integrated in cultural practices and social life.
Contemporary L7.pptx
The document discusses key concepts of form in art including medium, which is the material or substance used, and technique, which is the methods used to manipulate the medium. It provides examples of different mediums used by various artist types such as sculptors, painters, and musicians. The objectives are to understand how an artist's choice of medium and technique convey meaning and how contemporary artists explore new combinations. Classification of art is also described based on medium, including pictorial, auditory, narrative, dramatic, and musical arts. Examples are given of artworks created using diverse mediums and techniques from Philippine artists.
Displaying cultures (2)
The document discusses trends in communicating culture in museums, using the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. as a case study. When designing the museum, native leaders wanted it to tell the truth. The architects incorporated native sensibilities and traditions throughout the building. The museum's architecture corresponds to the elders' ideals of representing culture internally and externally. The website and exhibitions mirror the architectural ambitions of representing culture.
Displaying Cultures (2)
This session looks at the nature of the modernist museum and the communication/educational theories which underpin it.

Market Prices
The exhibition is an installation composed of handmade wooden market-style boxes containing Jade Montserrat's personal collection of artifacts. The boxes are stacked tall in two rooms, with most items visually veiled by the stacking. A writing table in front holds a printed catalogue documenting the encased items. The exhibition reflects Montserrat's contextual relationship with each artifact and may represent an excavation of her buried past, childhood, and growth. It addresses Baudrillard's question of whether objects can establish a language beyond self-discourse. As a contemporary artist utilizing collection and found objects, it adds discussion to Montserrat's sculptural work as an exhibition that provokes thought as one examines.
An introduction to art
This document provides an introduction to art by defining it, discussing its elements and principles of composition, and explaining its importance. It outlines specific objectives of learning about various contemporary art forms from different regions. An activity is proposed for students to creatively use an item like a shawl to make art and present their work. Art is defined in multiple ways including as a skill, a process or product, a universal language, a representation of reality, and a reflection of its time period. Different eras of art like medieval, renaissance, modern art are discussed along with examples.
