New York became the center of the art world in the mid-20th century for several reasons:
1) Many important European artists immigrated to New York during WWII to escape conflict, bringing influential art styles like abstract expressionism.
2) New York developed strong art communities and schools like the Art Students League as well as new galleries like MoMA which exhibited and promoted new art.
3) American artists like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning innovated abstract expressionist techniques in their famous drip paintings and used them to express post-war American identity, gaining recognition in the post-war period.
Term "Abstract Expressionism" was first used in Germany in connection with Rusian artist Wassily Kandinsky in 1919 (referencing the German Expressionists with their anti-figurative aesthetic), but later became more commonly associated with Post-WWII American Art.

How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.

How to Add Chatter in the odoo 17 ERP ModuleCeline George
In Odoo, the chatter is like a chat tool that helps you work together on records. You can leave notes and track things, making it easier to talk with your team and partners. Inside chatter, all communication history, activity, and changes will be displayed.
Thinking of getting a dog? Be aware that breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds can be loyal and dangerous. Proper training and socialization are crucial to preventing aggressive behaviors. Ensure safety by understanding their needs and always supervising interactions. Stay safe, and enjoy your furry friends!

industrial production and political
power." - Clement Greenberg in The
Decline of Cubism

Gallery
Included works by: Joan Miro, Hans
Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Arshile Gorky,
Adolph Gottleib and Mark Rothko
Critics met Peggy Guggenheim's challenge
by naming the new movement
Abstract Expressionism
Jackson Pollock. Moon Woman. 1942.
11. JACKSON POLLOCK 1912 -
1956
" Every so often, a painter has to destroy painting. Cezanne did it, Picasso
did it with Cubism. Then Pollock did it. He busted our idea of a picture all
to hell. Then there could be new paintings again." - Willem de Kooning
12. Jackson Pollock. Going West. c. 1934 -35. Thomas Hart Benton. The Arts of the West. 1932.
14. Hans Hofmann: "You don't work
from nature. You work by
heart. This is no good. You will
repeat yourself."
Jackson Pollock: "I am nature...Put
up or shut up. Your theories don't
interest me."
Hans Hofmann. The Third Hand. 1947.
15. Jackson Pollock. The Key. 1946.
Automatism…technique whereby the usual intellectual control of the artist over the brush is
foregone. The artist's aim is to allow the subconscious to create the artwork without rational
20. What's so innovative about Jackson Pollock's drip paintings?
Painted horizontally, on the floor
Used "everyday" paint and sticks
Instead of traditional artist's materials
Works intuitively with an automatist
technique
Considers space in a completely new way
Rejects Renaissance perspective
All-over composition
Painted gestures move across the picture
plane rather than into it
The painter becomes the paintings subject
"He transformed the obligation for social
relevance, a pervasive current between the
wars, into an unrelenting moral commitment
to a search for the self." - Fineberg
23. • "When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of
what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get
acquainted' period that I see what I have been
about. I have no fear of making changes,
destroying the image, etc., because the
painting has a life of its own. I try to let it
come through. It is only when I lose contact
with the painting that the result is a mess.
Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give
and take, and the painting comes out well." -
Jackson Pollock
24. Jackson Pollock. Autumn Rhythm (Number 30). 1950.
"My opinion is that new needs need new techniques…the modern painter cannot express his
age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio in the old forms of the Renaissance…the modern
artist is living in a mechanical age…working and expressing an inner world- in other words,
expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces." - Jackson Pollock
25.
26. August 8, 1949 issue of Life Magazine
• "The most powerful painter in
contemporary America and the only one
who promises to be a major one is a Gothic,
morbid, and extreme disciple of Picasso's
Cubism and Miró's post-Cubism, tinctured
also with Kandinsky and surrealist
inspiration. His name is Jackson Pollock." -
Clement Greenberg in 1947
27. Hans Namuth and Paul Falkenberg. Stills from the film Jackson Pollock. 1951.

29. de Kooning. Woman I. 1950-2.
Motherwell. At Five in the Afternoon. 1949.
Clyfford Still. 1947-R, No. 2. 1947.
"At a certain moment the canvas began to appear
to one American painter after another as an arena
in which to act- rather than a space in which to
reproduce, redesign, analyze or express an object,
actual or imagined. What was to go on the canvas
was not a picture but an event." - Harold
Rosenberg in The American Action Painters
30. Common characteristics of the New York School:
• Interest in Surrealist automatist techniques
• Influenced by the Mexican muralists
• Existential connection to the "Modern
Man”…notion that man was fundamentally
irrational and driven by unknowable forces from
within and without
• Participated in Federal Art Project 1935 - 1943
• Insistence on the individual character in each of
their expressions
33. Hans Hofmann. Bachanale. 1946. Lee Krasner. Image Surfacing. c. 1945.
Highest praise given to Krasner by Hofmann: "this painting is so good you'd never know
it was done by a woman."
