  • Modernism 1 Modernism
    Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world.

Another paradigmatic exhortation was also as a teacher of art, and a modernist theorist articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor Adorno, who, in the both in his native Germany and later in the U.S. During the 1930s in New York and California he 1940s, challenged conventional surface coherence and appearance of introduced modernism and modernist theories to [10] harmony typical of the rationality of Enlightenment thinking.

At the same time, we explore the works of artists who did not retain the renown they enjoyed during their lifetimes and who fell into obscurity. But obscurity is not necessarily forever, and as cycles of taste have changed, these once-forgotten artists and their largely unknown works have re-surfaced to startle us today.

    Boise Art Museum Annual Report 2005 – 2006 May 1, 2005 – April 30, 2006 MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FY 2006 marked a successful year for the Boise Art Museum. I am very proud of the staff for continually exceeding extremely high standards and maintaining a passion for the visual arts. Our ambitious exhibition and education programs set the Museum apart as the premier art institution in Idaho! The exhibition A Ceramic Continuum: Fifty Years of the Archie Bray Influence provided an opportunity to showcase BAM’s impressive ceramics collection alongside work from the groundbreaking artist-in-residence program at the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Art in Helena, Montana. Georgia O’Keeffe: Visions of the Sublime exhibited this well-known American artist’s paintings and drawings along with photographs by Alfred Stieglitz and Todd Webb. Educational programs related to O’Keeffe, including lectures, studio classes, teacher institutes and demonstrations, gave participants unique, first-hand experiences for understanding the works of art. Internationally recognized artist Hildur Bjarnadóttir of Iceland shared her cultural traditions and methods with teen Girl Scouts in a workshop focused on her exhibition, Hildur Bjarnadóttir: Unraveled. BSU faculty, students, and general BAM audiences attended a discussion with Hildur to learn about her contemporary interpretations of traditional craft forms. The exhibitions The Daily News and Deborah Oropallo: Twice Removed gave students and visitors opportunities to learn about contemporary art inspired by everyday objects such as newspapers, toys, vegetation and internet images. Throughout the year, BAM presented a wide variety of media: paintings in oil, acrylic, and watercolor; traditional and digital prints; photographs; pastel and charcoal drawings; ceramics; fiber; video; and wood and metal sculptures.
