  • 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"traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world. The poet Ezra Pound's 1934 collection: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. injunction to "Make it new!" was paradigmatic of the movement's Hofmann was renowned not only as an artist but approach towards the obsolete. 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.

    The Museum of Modern Art U West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 33 FOR RELEASE: APRIL 30, 1975 PRESS PREVIEW: April 28 11:00am-4:00pm ANTHONY CARO RETROSPECTIVE AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART The first retrospective to be held in the United States of work by the in­ fluential 50-year-old British sculptor, Anthony Caro, will take place at The Museum of Modern Art from April 30 through July 6. The exhibition, installed in the Garden Wing gallery and on the middle and upper terrace of the Museum's Sculpture Garden, includes approximately thirty large steel sculptures and a group of table pieces; some of the works have never previously been exhibited and a number have not before been seen in the United States. Organized by William Rubin, Director of the Department of Painting and Sculpture, who also wrote the accompanying monograph,* the Caro retrospective is presented jointly with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and has been made possible with the assistance of The British Council, London, and by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, Washington, D.C. It is the first major ex­ hibition of work by a British sculptor to be held at the Museum since its 1947 Henry Moore retrospective and includes works from private collectors and museums in the United States, Canada and Great Britain. Surveying the work of the last decade and a half — from the outset of Caro's mature style to the present — the sculpture on view ranges from Midday of 1960, the first of Caro's innovative, horizontally oriented, painted steel pieces to the yery large, unpainted works of the last several years such as Curtain Road of 1974 and Riviera, 1971-75.

  • The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction
    The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction A series of lesson plans on war for Year 9 and 10 students created through a partner- ship between the Medical Association for Prevention of War, its project partner Act for Peace and the History Teachers’ Association of Victoria. The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction INTRODUCTION History teachers often struggle with lessons about war. Conflicts have shaped the ancient and modern world and it is important that students are aware of the role of conflicts in the history of civilisation. In addition to developing a world view, teachers hope that understanding the history of war will help future generations learn from the actions of their ancestors. However, many teachers are concerned that unless approached sensitively, the focus on war in the classroom can have the opposite effect, causing students to glorify it. This unique set of resources has been developed from the perspectives of medical practitioners, many of them also war veterans. It helps students focus on the physical and mental costs of war, aspects of conflict often marginalised by larger themes of mateship and national pride. Students will learn about the often silent effects of war: injury, mental illness and disease. ABOUT THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION FOR PREVENTION OF WAR The Medical Association for Prevention of War (Australia) is a professional not-for-profit organisation that works to promote peace and disarmament. MAPW aims to reduce the physical and psychological impact, as well as environmental effect, of wars throughout the world. MAPW has branches in every state and territory in Australia. The members of MAPW are mostly medical practitioners who use their understanding of world medical issues in the campaign to prevent war using diplomatic channels rather than armed combat.

  • Irish Studies in Australia and New Zealand Dianne
    Irish Studies in Australia and New Zealand Dianne Hall (University of Victoria) and Ronan McDonald (University of Melbourne) Internationally, Irish studies tends to thrive where the Irish diaspora settled: Boston, New York, Liverpool, London, Montreal. Yet one could not say that Irish studies in Australia is especially robust, particularly when looked at comparatively.1 We will attempt to answer why that is so in this brief survey, addressing institutional and cultural factors and also the historic relationship between Ireland and Australia, which has produced a strange mix of familiarity and distance between the two countries. While Australia received far fewer Irish migrants than the more proximate Britain and USA, the proportionate Irish influence in Australia is unmatched. In 1901 at the time of the Federation of the separate colonies that made up Australia, one quarter of the white population of 3.8 million were of Irish birth or descent. Among the white European population, the Irish were second only to the English, forming a substantial and important minority.2 Visiting Irish politicians now refer to this by routinely calling Australia the most ‘most Irish country outside of Ireland’. There is, then, great overlap between the story of the global Irish and that of the development of the Australian nation since European settlement. Australia is far from Ireland geographically, but much closer culturally. In Australia the majority of the Catholic settlers were Irish, and the majority of Irish Catholic, arriving into a majority Protestant colony. This was different to Canada, which also attracted a significant proportion of Irish Protestant migrants and had a substantial ethnically French Catholic settler population.

Multiple Modernities in American Art 23RD ANNUAL AMERICAN ART CONFERENCE In this conference, Initiatives in Art and Culture will challenge the prevailing cognitive approach to art history in which different expressions of the modern, even those that are inarguably contemporaneous, succeed one another in a more- or-less linear fashion. Instead, we propose a different approach, one that recognizes and celebrates a frequent coexistence of different expressions and which can reshape our understanding of the history of American art. Early examples of multiple modernities in American art are Grant Wood, Parson Weems’ Fable, Trumbull and Morse who document the history of a new 1939. Oil on canvas.
