Breakdown of tradition in relief.
Important: discontinuity. Example (Wasteland)
Estrangement (or alienation)
Permitivism (lots of painters/musicians thought humanities could be recreated/rejuvenated/refreshed by going back to primitive, psychological instincts) Freud.
Unconscious (World of surrealism) example (Dali, De Chirico)
Anxiety & Paranoia is experienced Juxtaposition.
Movies are like a unify of art. Made possible by science & technology. A lot of people don’t read novels or watch art exhibits, but do go to movies. Film is an important of popular form of humanities.
So much of the groundwork was laid for the humanities, literature and painting. Most creative time in history. 1914-1918 WWl. Killing was made possible in WW1 thanks to science and technology. A big shock. A big impact that the world was falling apart that convinced people to disbelief in traditional religion values. In the 1920 was all into experimentation. “Shocking” people. Things became more realistic, facing crisis such as starvation and unemployment. Writers became more socially conscious about economic and social events (1900-1930s), even painters but in paints. Famous writers (Stravinsky) and painters came to America after WWll to avoid the fragile europe. This became a shift in humanities from Europe to America. European literature, composition, painters has always been dominant and uncomparable with America.
Abstract Expressionism. (1950-1960) Jackson Pollock. Pollock made Americana pictures are pictures looking alike. Another famous artist named Norman Rockwell represented Americana (Typical American Lifestyle… city council meeting…baseball…family gathering) His pictures would be posted in magazine covers called Saturday Evening Post. The other side of the American experience was not so brightening. Unwelcoming African American people, one particular example is throwing rotten tomatoes and writing “nigger” on walls at the school kids. A conservative man with a hat (if you look at pics, everyone wore hat) only in the 1960 men stopped wearing hats. This picture represents a contrast between an old and a new. One of the most important pics in American art history (The Connociour) “Overall painting” is.. “Blue Poles” is represents a contrast between chaos and the way the blue poles paced off one after another acrossed the plane of the picture. Beatniks “rejected American culture etc” very communist, smoking dope etc, and Pollock eventually hanged out with them. Monetization “attach money to anything” and his pictures were very monetized and gained tension.
1960-1970 Pop Art Andy Warhol is the next big figure after Jackson Pollock. Pop Art consisted of painting what was “important”. Consumerism and materialism what.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.
