Art serves many functions including assisting with rituals, reflecting customs, communicating ideas, educating people, glorifying power, commemorating the dead, celebrating events like war, protesting war, and entertaining. It has content related to imagery, location, symbols, beliefs, and text. Art can be categorized as fine art, pop culture, or kitsch. Styles include naturalistic, idealized, expressive, classical, non-objective, and impasto. People encounter art daily and are drawn to either its aesthetics or meaning, and some judge certain types of art as more valuable.

Week 9 Postmodernism: Artist as celebrity: Brit Art
Week 9 Postmodernism: Artist as celebrity: Brit ArtDeborahJ
?
This document provides an overview of postmodernism in art, focusing on the rise of the "artist as celebrity" phenomenon among Young British Artists (yBAs) in the 1990s. It explores how yBa artists like Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin embraced consumerism and commercialism by using self-branding strategies. Their use of personas and courting of mass media attention made them art world stars. However, critics argue this prioritized artists' celebrity over the artistic merit of their work. The document also examines debates around whether their art was merely aiming for popularity over theoretical substance.Lesson 2 The Arts

The document discusses the rise of Britart and self-branding among British artists in the 1990s such as Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin. It explores how the artists presented conceptual work in a visually spectacular way to appeal to an international market. It also examines how the artists developed celebrity status and a new relationship with the mass media. Some critics argue this led to a more populist and career-driven approach, while others saw it as a way for artists to undermine and critique the concept of celebrity.The picture of Dorian Gray

The document provides information about the history and artwork featured at Dismaland, Banksy's satirical theme park. It describes how the Tropicana pool in Weston-super-Mare fell into disrepair after losing visitors to cheaper European destinations. Dismaland featured over 50 artists critiquing celebrity culture, consumerism, immigration, and law enforcement through a post-apocalyptic lens. Many of Banksy's own pieces commented on political and social issues. After closing, materials from Dismaland were sent to Calais, France to construct shelters for refugees, though the camp was later evicted and structures burned amid protests.Charles dickens eng 102 oxnard college

Charles Dickens was a famous English writer born in 1812. After his father was imprisoned for debt, Dickens had to leave school and work in a factory, which influenced his later work. He went on to become a journalist and began publishing his novels as serials, including Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, and Hard Times. Hard Times is a critique of industrial society and the dehumanizing effects of pursuing only material gain and efficiency at the expense of human qualities. It uses the fictional town of Coketown as a symbolic representation of the economic and spiritual poverty of the working classes of northern England during the Industrial Revolution.ART100_Fall2016_Class10.2

This document discusses a medieval reliquary statue of Sainte Foy from the Abbey Church of Conques in France. The reliquary, made in the late 9th or 10th century, housed the physical remains or ashes of the saint and was adorned with gold, gems, and precious materials. For medieval pilgrims, physically traveling to the site to stand before the reliquary and make a tangible connection to the saint's remains was highly significant. The value of the piece came first from the relics themselves, then the precious materials used, and least from its artistic representation of the enthroned saint.Paul Henry

Henry helped establish the Society of Dublin Painters and achieved international recognition, though he was distressed by the impact of tourism on Achill Island. He is remembered for his authentic representations of the Irish countryside.07 art

Marc Chagall often depicted goats and violins in his paintings as symbols of Judaism and his childhood passion for music. He moved to Paris in 1910 where he was influenced by modern art movements like Cubism and Fauvism. The persecution of Jews during WWII inspired paintings denouncing oppression. Chagall felt a strong connection to his Belarusian homeland and portrayed biblical stories reflecting his Jewish culture. The most important woman in his life was his first wife Bella, with whom he had his first daughter and featured in many of his early works after her death. His 1911 painting "I and the Village" seamlessly integrated folklore and symbolism to represent his relationship with his birthplace through a dreamlike styleSenior Seminar: Museum Exhibition PowerPoint Presentation for "Rock & Royal"

The document discusses Victorian England's attitudes towards children and publishing trends for children's literature in the 19th century. There was both a romantic view of children as innocent and spiritual beings, as well as a puritanical view that saw children as sinful requiring strict discipline. A "cult of childhood" emerged where adults longed for the perceived innocence of childhood. Children's books became very profitable and came in two streams - realistic stories set in the real world and fantastic stories involving impossible elements like talking animals. Lewis Carroll's Alice books were unprecedented and opened the "Golden Age" of children's literature despite some initial criticism.Re-imagine london

The exhibition in Derby aims to inspire inventiveness in visitors through exploring Heath Robinson's imaginative contraptions.Public Art in Cardiff: Peter D Cox Cardiff Civic Society event Chapter 04042011

This document discusses the concept of formalism in art, which emphasizes the visual form and aesthetic qualities of a work over its representational content. It describes how formalism was promoted in the early 20th century by critics like Clive Bell and Roger Fry, who argued that a work's "significant form" produced an emotional response in viewers. The document then outlines how formalism influenced Modernist art movements and was later challenged by anti-formalists who argued it had become too detached from social and political issues. It provides examples of how Minimalism, Conceptual art, and other movements reacted against the dominance of formalism.Online art 100 art concepts lecture 1

The document discusses modernist painting and Clement Greenberg's theory of modernism from the 1960s. It provides Greenberg's definition of modernism as using the methods of a discipline to critique itself, in order to strengthen its competence. Greenberg emphasized the flatness of the picture plane as unique to painting. The document also discusses Morris Louis' abstract painting Saraband from 1959 as exemplifying Greenberg's theories through its shimmering, translucent veil created by color drips and the removal of the artist's hand from the work.Understanding paintings

This document provides an overview of concepts discussed in Chapter 1 of the textbook World of Art. It discusses several key points:
1) The artist Cai Guo-Qiang utilized gunpowder to create ephemeral works, including an explosion that extended the Great Wall of China. For the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he directed the visual effects, though air pollution required showing a video rather than the planned fireworks display.
2) Seeing is an inherently creative process, as the human visual system selectively processes information. Works by Jasper Johns and Faith Ringgold demonstrate active, critical seeing of familiar icons like the American flag.
3) Artists engage in a creative process from conception to realization, responding to chance, exploringPresentation1nosound
