World War I caused immense casualties and trauma. Photographs and reconstructed drawings from 1917 document the gruesome injuries sustained by over 850,000 German and 700,000 French soldiers, as well as 400,000 British soldiers in the Battle of the Somme in 1916 alone. Wax casts created by the Val-de-Grace Museum in Paris further captured the injuries of soldiers, while over 80,000 British soldiers suffered from shell shock.
This document lists 5 influential political philosophers from the 17th-18th centuries: Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Mary Wollstonecra, and Voltaire.
The document discusses several modern art movements between 1900-1915 including Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, and Futurism. It provides key terms, concepts, and examples of important artworks within each movement. Fauvism featured bright, unnatural colors as seen in works by Matisse and Derain. Expressionism was characterized by distorted forms expressing emotion, like works by Kirchner and Marc. Cubism involved analyzing and synthesizing forms, with Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon being a seminal analytic Cubism work and Braque creating synthetic Cubism collages. Futurism sought to capture dynamism and movement in modern life through works like Boccioni's Unique Form
The document discusses Romanesque art and monasticism between 1000-1150 CE. Key aspects include the influence of Roman architecture on vaulting techniques, the growth of monasticism and Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries, and religious sculpture decoration. Major monasteries like Cluny and Fontenay are examined as examples of Benedictine and Cistercian architectural styles respectively.
The document provides an overview of conceptual art, including key terms, artists, and works. It discusses how conceptual art focuses on ideas rather than physical or visual forms. Key examples mentioned include Marcel Duchamp's Fountain and Joseph Kosuth's One and Three Chairs. The final exam for the course is scheduled for December 15.
This document discusses Romanesque art from 1000-1150 CE, focusing on pilgrimage sites and relics. During this period, pilgrimages to holy sites housing important relics became very popular as people sought spiritual fulfillment and salvation. Major pilgrimage churches were built, such as the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela which contained the relics of St. James and attracted Christian pilgrims along established pilgrimage routes. Reliquaries and sculptures depicted saints and were venerated by pilgrims seeking blessings or miracles. The Crusades also contributed to interest in pilgrimages and relics as part of medieval Christian devotion and worship.
Charlemagne modeled his imperial palace chapel in Aachen after important Byzantine churches like San Vitale in Ravenna. He also commissioned manuscripts like the Coronation Gospels that depicted him and his family in imperial regalia. Additionally, portraits of Charlemagne and his grandson Charles the Bald were directly based on classical Roman equestrian statues to associate them with the legacy of the Roman Empire.
Early Christian art in Europe between 600-1100 CE developed among the Anglo-Saxons, Hiberno-Saxons, Norse, and Merovingians. Manuscripts from this period include gospel books and passages from Genesis and the Pentateuch illustrated with ornamental designs like carpet pages and illuminated letters. Famous manuscripts include the Book of Durrow, Lindisfarne Gospels, and Book of Kells created by Hiberno-Saxon monks in the British Isles.
The document discusses different theories of realism in art, including resemblance theory which states realism is based on how accurately a work reproduces the subject's shapes, colors, and form. Illusion theory proposes realism fools the viewer into thinking the image is real. Habituation theory suggests cultural and historical context influences what is considered realistic as representations condition expectations over time. Information theory holds more realistic images convey more visual information to the viewer. The document also examines concepts like facture, proportions, and perspective used in classical Greek art.
The document discusses different types and uses of abstraction in art. It provides examples of abstract works from Chinese literati painters, Kandinsky, Albers, and Pollock. It explores abstraction as a way to express emotion or spirituality, emphasize form over representation, and capture an artistic process like Pollock's action painting.
The document summarizes early medieval art from 500-1000 CE created by barbarian groups in Europe, including the Anglo-Saxons, Franks, Visigoths, and Norse. It provides examples of artworks such as the Purse Cover from Sutton Hoo, Eagle Fibula from Tierra de Barros, and Animal Headpost from the Oseberg Ship Burial. The art is characterized by styles such as animal style decoration and the use of precious metals and garnets in jewelry.

45. Danny Katz: "Arrogant position that art justifies interference with the simple joys of human activity in the plaza.This is not a great plaza by international standards, but a small refuge and place of revival for people who ride to work in steel containers, work in sealed rooms (with no windows) and breathe recirculated air all day. Is the purpose of art to stress the absence of joy and hope? I can't believe this was the artistic intention, yet sadly this has been the dominant effect of the work (It is arguable that "stressing the absence of joy and hope" was part of Serra's purpose, as interpreted by Horowitz )...I can accept anything in art, but I can't accept physical assault and complete destruction of ordinary human activity...no work of art created with a contempt of ordinary humanity and w/o respect for the common element of human experience can be great...I suggest Mr. Serra take advantage of this opportunity to walk away from this fiasco and move the work to a place where it will better reveal its beauty.” Richard Serra, Tilted Arc, Federal Plaza, New York City, 1981.

Two self-portrait busts: one chocolate and one soap that have been either licked or lathered by the artist.
A close-up photograph of some of the seeds, each kiln-fired twice: once before being hand-painted, once again after. Each is unique Sunflower seeds are an omnipresent Chinese snack, but also were a common food during the harsh years of the Cultural Revolution. Some may also think of sweatshop-powered globalization.About the exhibitionSunflower Seeds is made up of millions of small works, each apparently identical, but actually unique. However realistic they may seem, these life-sized sunflower seed husks are in fact intricately hand-crafted in porcelain. Each seed has been individually sculpted and painted by specialists working in small-scale workshops in the Chinese city of Jingdezhen. Far from being industrially produced, they are the effort of hundreds of skilled hands. Poured into the interior of the Turbine Hall’s vast industrial space, the 100 million seeds form a seemingly infinite landscape. Porcelain is almost synonymous with China and, to make this work, Ai Weiwei has manipulated traditional methods of crafting what has historically been one of China’s most prized exports. Sunflower Seeds invites us to look more closely at the ‘Made in China’ phenomenon and the geo-politics of cultural and economic exchange today.Update: Friday 22 October 2010 The landscape of sunflower seeds can be looked upon from the Turbine Hall bridge, or viewed at close-range in the east end of the Turbine Hall on Level 1. It is no longer possible to walk on the surface of the work, but visitors can walk close to the edges of the sunflower seed landscape on the west and north sides.Although porcelain is very robust, we have been advised that the interaction of visitors with the sculpture can cause dust which could be damaging to health following repeated inhalation over a long period of time. In consequence, Tate, in consultation with the artist, has decided not to allow members of the public to walk across the sculpture.Sunflower Seeds is a total work made up of millions of individual pieces which together from a single unique surface. In order to maintain and preserve the landscape as a whole, Tate asks visitors not to touch or remove the sunflower seeds.Juliet Bingham, Curator, Tate Modern"Ai Weiwei's Unilever Series commission, Sunflower Seeds, is a beautiful, poignant and thought-provoking sculpture. The thinking behind the work lies in far more than just the idea of walking on it. The precious nature of the material, the effort of production and the narrative and personal content create a powerful commentary on the human condition. Sunflower Seeds is a vast sculpture that visitors can contemplate at close range on Level 1 or look upon from the Turbine Hall bridge above. Each piece is a part of the whole, a commentary on the relationship between the individual and the masses. The work continues to pose challenging questions: What does it mean to be an individual in today's society? Are we insignificant or powerless unless we act together? What do our increasing desires, materialism and number mean for society, the environment and the future?"Update: 28 April 2011We understand from news reports that the artist Ai Weiwei was arrested by the Chinese authorities on Sunday 3 April as he tried to board a plane to Hong Kong. The artist remains uncontactable and his whereabouts are unknown. We are dismayed by developments that again threaten Ai Weiwei's right to speak freely as an artist and hope that he will be released immediately.In response to Ai Weiwei's arrest and detainment, leading museums around the world have joined and launched an online petition to express concern for Ai's freedom and call for his release, including Guggenheim Museum; the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD); Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate, London; Gwangju Biennale, Korea; and the Musée national d'art moderne/Centre de créationindustrielle, Paris. We sincerely hope that our collective action using social networking sites - Ai Weiwei's favored medium of social sculpture - will promote Ai's liberty and the principle of free creative expression.To sign the museums' petition visit www.change.orgUpdate 22 June 2011We are pleased to hear that Ai Weiwei has been released on bail and has returned home. We await further details regarding his situation, his well-being and that of his associates
