  • The Lady of Edgecliff
    The Lady of Edgecliff Annie Peachman Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Technology Sydney Street art is a developing postmodern phenomenon with the profound capacity to challenge the cultural assumptions underpinning modernity and a modernist approach to art. Taking Bruno Dutot’s work, ‘The Lady of Edgecliff’, or ‘Oucha’ as a starting point, one can explore the cultural importance of street art, as it elucidates the contradictions inherent to contemporary society – which exists as a hybrid of both modernity and postmodernity. Postmodernism informs the way in which street art contests the prevalence of empiricism within modernity, which values technique over symbolic meaning and aesthetics. Street art simultaneously challenges the modernist notion of progress towards utopian ideals, often focusing more on dystopia and revisiting the past through the use of intertextuality, viewing the world as a simulacrum rather than as an absolute truth. In its total public accessibility, street art also challenges the notion of art as a commodity, as well as the modernist association of art with institutionalism, which positions the artist as a tradesperson, and the art world as a business. Yet with increasing numbers of acclaimed street artists shifting to exhibiting in galleries and accepting commissions for their work, the distinctions between postmodern and modern art are blurred. As such, street art reveals the enduring vestiges of modernity in contemporary culture, and thus questions how such ideas remain in conjunction with the ideas of postmodernism– suggesting that contemporary society is not unconditionally postmodern but instead exists as a hybridised culture, with interrelated and interdependent elements of both postmodernity and modernity central to our contemporary milieu.

This gorgeously illustrated catalogue explores just such an extraordinary partnership between Antwerp’s most eminent painters of the early seventeenth century, Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) and Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568–1625). Rubens and Brueghel exe- cuted approximately twenty-five works together between around 1598 and Brueghel’s death in 1625. Highly prized and sought after by collectors throughout Europe, the collaborative works of Rubens and Brueghel were shaped by their close friendship and dis- tinguished by an extremely high level of quality, further enhanced by the status of the artists themselves. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Getty Museum to be held July 5 to September 24, 2006, the catalogue features twenty-six color plates of such Rubens/Brueghel paintings as The Return from War, The Feast of Acheloüs, Garden of Eden with the Fall of Man, Allegory of Sight, Battle of the Amazons, Nature Adored by the Graces, and Madonna and Child in a Garland of Flowers, along with Rubens and Brueghel’s collaborations with important contemporaries such as Frans Snyders and Hendrick van Balen.

Beau Stanton - Brooklyn/USA Stanton lives in Brooklyn, N.Y. and draws his inspiration for his big-wall art from historic ornamentation, religious iconography, and classical painting. He does everything from large-scale installations to stained glass, mosaics, and multimedia animations.

His approach combines traditional artistic techniques and street art style, creating a dynamic blend of graphic elements and abstract pop. 20x21eug.com *A sample of the artist’s work, not a 20x21 mural Blek le Rat - France* Known as one of the Godfathers of Stencil Art, Blek le Rat’s work has served as inspiration for artists like Banksy and Space Invader.

  • Lindsey Mancini Street Art's Conceptual Emergence
    30 NUART JOURNAL 2019 VOLUME 1 NUMBER 2 30–35 GRAFFITI AS GIFT: STREET ART’S CONCEPTUAL EMERGENCE Lindsey Mancini Yale School of Art Drawing primarily on contemporary public discourse, this article aims to identify a divergence between graffiti and street art, and to establish street art as an independent art movement, the examples of which can be identified by an artist’s desire to create a work that offers value – a metric each viewer is invited to assess for themselves. While graffiti and street art are by no means mutually exclusive, street art fuses graffiti’s subversive reclamation of space with populist political leanings and the art historically- informed theoretical frameworks established by the Situationists and Dadaism. Based on two founding principles: community and ephemerality, street art is an attempt to create a space for visual expression outside of existing power structures, weaving it into the fabric of people’s daily lives. GRAFFITI AS GIFT 31 AN INTRODUCTION (AND DISCLAIMER) Hagia Sophia in Turkey; Napoleon's troops have been Attempting to define any aspect of street art or graffiti described as defacing the Sphinx in the eighteenth century; may seem an exercise in futility – for, as is the case with and during World War II, cartoons featuring a long-nosed most contemporary cultural contexts, how can we assess character alongside the words ‘Kilroy was here’, began something that is happening contemporaneously and appearing wherever U.S. servicemen were stationed (Ross, constantly evolving? – but the imperative to understand 2016: 480).
