Controversial Art

Controversial Art Controversial Art Art has always been a means through which ideas, concepts and opinions could be expressed, testing limitations in thought - naturally, a dichotomy can exist between the public and artists if their opinions differ. However, with increasing exposure to many different sources in the contemporary age, audiences are becoming desensitized to once-offensive imagery, so artists are perpetually attempting to push boundaries. While controversial art can be an effective vehicle to spark thought in the peoples (which in my opinion is the primary purpose of art), some artists seek only notoriety and exposure rather than creating the most effective possible artwork. My Bed by Tracey Emin brought to the light the schism in the art community that is based on the definition of art itself. My Bed, which was created in 1998, was an installation of the artist's unmade bed surrounded by various objects. The object of a bed itself symbolises sleep, sleeplessness, dreams, sex, and death, combining to form a turbulent still life. My Bed is a graphic depiction of depression, mental health, sex, and loneliness that shocked many. The controversy around My Bed centred around the 'vulgar' subject matter. The artwork was denounced as filthy and disgusting, due to the detritus that constitutes the artwork such as empty vodka bottles, underwear soaked with menstrual blood, stained and dirty sheets, and used condoms. These raw, sexually-imbued and frankly unhygienic elements (particularly the showing of bodily fluids) were extremely shocking. In one case, housewife Christine de Ville rushed the bed with a bottle of disinfectant to mop up what she considered to be filth. "Tracey is setting a bad example to young women," De Ville told the Daily Mail newspaper. "It was my duty to clean up the mess." It was seen as self-indulgent; Daily Telegraph art critic Richard Dorment called Emin a ‘phoney’ and ‘self-indulgent (1999). It was also criticised as not even really being art. Critics claimed that anyone could exhibit an unmade bed. Emin countered these criticisms in the same year the artwork was produced by saying: "Well, they didn't, did they?” Later, in 2015, she stated that ‘art isn’t for looking at. Art is for feeling’. I believe that through her artwork, Emin challenged notions of what constitutes as art, encouraging the idea that art is not about technical skill or aesthetics, but instead in expressing and sparking thought. As stated on The Saatchi Gallery Website, "by presenting her bed as art, Tracey Emin shares her most personal space, revealing she’s as insecure and imperfect as the rest of the world”. While initially Emin’s artwork appears to be one-dimensionally steeped in self- indulgent themes of depression and filth, it ultimately promotes positive messages; by publicly revealing her lowest, most flawed state, Emin shows the world that being flawed is nothing to be ashamed of in her confessional piece. In my opinion, the use of everyday detritus should not be considered lazy or disgusting, but instead a subversive and interesting way to construct art and communicate meaning - even Picasso stuck newspaper and chair caning to his artworks. While critics at the time viewed Emin as self-flagellating, I personally interpret the piece as Emin coming to terms with her own depressive state. The use of the bed is significant – to be in bed (asleep or otherwise) is a vulnerable state, and to be in someone else’s bed is an act of trust, exposure, or invasion of privacy. My Bed emerged during a time when the skill of contemporary artists were being questioned – Emin describes in a 2015 video made by Tate Britain the sudden interest of the public and media in British art during the 90s due to the impact of prominent artists such as Emin and Damien Hirst. My Bed is an example of an artwork that was extremely controversial but ultimately was a point of progress (or as a 1999 Guardian headline describes: ‘a birth of a phonenemon) in the liberation of modern contemporary art and speaking out about mental health. On the other end of the spectrum, artworks like Myra by Marcus Harvey remain. While thought- provoking, emotionally impactful, and skilfully created, Myra is controversial for all the wrong reasons. It caused uproar when displayed at the Royal Academy of Art in 1997. The large painting is a black and white portrait of Myra Hindley's mugshot. Hindley was one half of the Moors murderers – she and Ian Brady horrifically assaulted and murdered several children in the 1960s. Poignantly, Harvey’s portrait of Myra is made up of black, white and grey casts of an infant's hand, symbolising the inexorable mark her crimes. The piece caused such a reaction that it was attacked twice, before having to be restored and then placed behind glass with security officers guarding it. Winnie Johnson (the mother of one of the victims) as well as Myra Hindley herself (writing from prison) called for the artwork to be pulled from the exhibition. Acclaimed British sculptor Michael Sandle resigned from the Royal Academy in protest of Myra’s exhibition, stating that ‘[he] had had enough’. I strongly believe that ethically it is wrong for Harvey to create controversy by using Hindley’s image simply to benefit from media exposure. Harvey has no personal connection to the murders – whilst he benefited from the profit of Myra’s controversy, those personally traumatised by the murders and the exhibition of Myra nearly 40 years after (e.g Winnie Johnson) are denied in their justified requests to pull the piece from exhibition. The large scale of the artwork can be likened to a billboard, drawing comparisons to advertisement, memorials, or monuments. In my opinion, this is glorifying and glamorising Hindley, which can be considered insensitive to the living relatives of the victims. Harvey should have practised self-censorship and not attempted to tackle such a sensitive issue that he had no personal relation to, especially at the cost of other people’s well-being. Just like any other form of media or communication, art cannot be excused for detrimental and offensive content simply because of its form. Harvey has stated in response to critcism that he is "driven by his enduring interest in materials and technique, not shock value"; Harvey's visually impactful and skilled technique could be channelled on a less sensitive issue, to allow the public to appreciate contemporary art rather than automatically reject it due to the content matter, which may contribute to the ongoing resistance against modern art. Art can break open closed-thought processes, but some controversial art remains shocking for shock's sake, which essentially eliminates the shock element all together. In my opinion, any artwork that can cause society to stop, think, and ponder has positive social value, but artists must also be somewhat sensitive in subject matter - especially in Harvey's case in which his artwork was potentially harmful and traumatic to those personally affected by the Moors murders. I strongly feel that controversial images within modern contemporary art are definitely a significant part of society and artists should have freedom to express their opinions, but not feel as if they are above the rest of society and abandon sensitivity. Harvey’s artwork is a complex artwork that does generate thought about the sensationalism of media and the scarring effects of the Moors murders, but ultimately does not add much valuable commentary on the issue and is a source of more harm than value. Hindley is/was already extremely villainized and hated in the public eye – the idea of a woman murdering children was scandalous and seen as unwomanly/rejection of womanly and maternal instincts. Shortly after the Moors murders, she was described in the media as a ‘monster’ and ‘too evil to free’. Before Myra’s exhibition, a scathing comment from the editorial of The Sun stated: "Myra Hindley is to be hung in the Royal Academy. Sadly it is only a painting of her". In contrast to this, Emin’s artwork is really only harmful to her own reputation (as it is autobiographical in nature), so Emin’s choice to create and defend her controversial artwork does not come in expense to anyone else – it is in fact a critique of her own detriment. .

  • Young British Artists: the Legendary Group
    Young British Artists: The Legendary Group Given the current hype surrounding new British art, it is hard to imagine that the audience for contemporary art was relatively small until only two decades ago. Predominantly conservative tastes across the country had led to instances of open hostility towards contemporary art. For example, the public and the media were outraged in 1976 when they learned that the Tate Gallery had acquired Carl Andre’s Equivalent VIII (the bricks) . Lagging behind the international contemporary art scene, Britain was described as ‘a cultural backwater’ by art critic Sarah Kent. 1 A number of significant British artists, such as Tony Cragg, and Gilbert and George, had to build their reputation abroad before being taken seriously at home. Tomake matters worse, the 1980s saw severe cutbacks in public funding for the arts and for individual artists. Furthermore, the art market was hit by the economic recession in 1989. For the thousands of art school students completing their degrees around that time, career prospects did not look promising. Yet ironically, it was the worrying economic situation, and the relative indifference to contemporary art practice in Britain, that were to prove ideal conditions for the emergence of ‘Young British Art’. Emergence of YBAs In 1988, in the lead-up to the recession, a number of fine art students from Goldsmiths College, London, decided it was time to be proactive instead of waiting for the dealers to call. Seizing the initiative, these aspiring young artists started to curate their own shows, in vacant offices and industrial buildings. The most famous of these was Freeze ; and those who took part would, in retrospect, be recognised as the first group of Young British Artists, or YBAs.

  • “Brooklyn Museum: Messing with the Sacred, ” in Chris Ofili, Rizzoli, 2009
    “Brooklyn Museum: Messing with the Sacred, ” in Chris Ofili, Rizzoli, 2009 The Brooklyn Museum: Messing with the Sacred Part I: The Event Dennis Heiner a dapper, 72-year-old devout Catholic, feigning illness, leaned against a wall in the Brooklyn Museum near the much-maligned Chris Ofili painting, The Holy Virgin Mary. He waited for the guard to look away, took out a plastic bottle, then slipped behind the protective shield, and, with shaking hands, squeezed and spread white paint over the face and body of the image of Ofili’s black Madonna. When the police asked why had he done this, Mr. Heiner responded softly, “It was blasphemous.” With this enactment Chris Ofili’s work entered a historical body of defaced art--from works vandalized during the French Revo- lution to Michelangelo’s, Pieta Andres Serrano’s Piss Christ, and David Nelson’s infamous portrait of the late Mayor Harold Wash- ington, Mirth and Girth. On December 18, 1999, Heiner was charged with a Class D felony for “mischief making, possessing instruments of graffiti, and graffiti.” Let’s begin with the Brooklyn Museum, about which New York Times art critic Michael Kimmelman wrote: “Playing on the implications of cultural elitism, the Mayor of New York, Rudolph Guiliani, has in fact threatened one of the least elitist of New York cultural institutions.” While I was growing up in Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Museum was the beloved museum of my working-class neighborhood. It was always “our” museum. Through such recent comments as “That’s my museum. Take your hands off it,” spoken by Brooklyn residents, I can see that it is still our museum to the people of Brooklyn.

  • Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935
    Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair René Bravmann Douglas Collins Program authorized to Offer Degree: Art History University of Washington Abstract Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History Northwest Impressionist artists are among the forgotten figures in American art history. Responsible for bringing Modernism to Washington and Oregon, they dominated the art communities in Seattle and Portland from about 1910 to 1928, remaining influential until the mid 1930’s. After describing the artists briefly, this dissertation summarizes and evaluates the slim historiography of Northwest Impressionism. Impressionism and Tonalism are contrasted in order to situate these artists within the broad currents of American art history. Six important artists who have not been studied in the past are each accorded a chapter that summarizes their educations, careers, and artistic developments. In Seattle, Paul Gustin, the early leader of the Seattle art community, was most closely associated with images of Mount Rainier. Edgar Forkner, a well established Indiana artist, moved to Seattle and painted numerous canvases of old boats at rest and still lifes of flowers. Dorothy Dolph Jensen, a latecomer, emphasized shoreline and harbor scenes in her work. In Portland, Charles McKim traded complete anonymity in Portland, Maine for the leadership of the Oregon art community, creating a variety of landscapes and seascapes. Clyde Keller produced an enormous output of landscapes over a long career that extended to California as well as Oregon.

Sanatçı özgün imgelerini yaratırken; gerçekliği olan ideoloji, kişilik, inanç, karakter ve gen yoluyla aktarılan vb. özellikleri üslubunu belirlemesinde etkendir. Sanatçı eseriyle izleyiciyi kıskıvrak yakalama amacı güder. Bu amaç ve duygularının izleyeni etkileyen dışavurumu üslubundaki dille gerçekleşmektedir. Mağara resimlerini yapanların üslup sahibi olmadığı bilinmektedir. Çünkü mağara döneminde ortaya çıkan anonim yaratımlarda çizenin kim olduğu belli değildir. Çizeni belli olmayan eserde de üslup aranmaz. Tamamen farklı bir amacı olan ilk insan, gördüğünü yapmakla yetinmiş ve sadece imaj dünyasının kazandığı formu resmetmiştir.
