    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"traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world.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.

Courtesy 303 Gallery, New York. BY PAUL LASTER PAUL BY INSIDE BURGER COLLECTION BURGER INSIDE FEATURES artasiapacific.com He used these paintings toward his graduate school applications for Yale and Columbia. While he was accepted by both, he chose the latter for its “laid-back” atmosphere and its location, which puts New York’s vibrant art scene close at hand. While at Columbia, he started making watercolors from earlier snapshots of his brothers and friends in Ontario, where the Gardner family had lived before moving to Manitoba. Partly inspired by the voyeuristic paintings of suburban adolescent sexuality by Eric Fischl, and the punk, homoerotic paintings of skinheads and military cadets by Attila Richard Lukacs—whom he worked for as a studio assistant while at Columbia—Gardner’s watercolors caught the attention of photographer Collier Schorr, the 1999 visiting artist at Columbia’s MFA program. Schorr went on to acquire Gardner’s works for her private collection, and recommended him to New York’s 303 Gallery, where she also showed. The gallery presented a selection of Gardner’s realistic watercolors of people in rural settings in its May group exhibition, even before he graduated. His first solo show with 303 Gallery in January 2000 sold out and garnered critical acclaim.

  • The Art of Looking Back and the Reward of More Or Less Being Seen

    The Art of Looking Back and the Reward of More Or Less Being Seen

    The Art of Looking Back and the Reward of More or Less Being Seen The danger is in pleasing an immediate public: the immediate public that comes around you and takes you in and accepts you and gives you success and everything. Instead of that, you should wait for fifty years or a hundred years for your true public. That is the only public that interests me. Marcel Duchamp It is the REGARDEURS who make the pictures. Marcel Duchamp click to enlarge Figure 1 Jasper Johns, The Critic Sees, 1961 Our ability to believe our eyes is often overridden by our unquestioning confidence in the judgment of “experts”. As in Jasper John’s The Critic Sees(Fig. 1), we seem to put more trust in the words of these experts whose insights are often the reiteration of yet others’ conclusions, than in our own ability to bear down and witness what is before us. Marcel Duchamp understood the human tendency to categorize and simplify as well as rely on the filters of contemporary opinion to color observation; I believe he used this knowledge to make a powerful commentary on the state of affairs of modern thought and the direction that art was taking in his lifetime. Duchamp fought quietly against the move in twentieth century art towards the purely visual experience, the ‘retinal shudder’ as he put it, where “aesthetic delectation depends almost exclusively upon the sensitivity of the retina without any auxiliary interpretation.”(1) This auxiliary interpretation was to Duchamp the operation of the intellect in making and understanding art.

This simple yet hopeful farewell is now fraught with anxiety and confusion. Because, in what seemed like a matter of femtoseconds[1], the immense but intimate COVID-19 pandemic shocked so many facets of our lives. What if we reimagined this parting phrase as a mantra for creative practice? An invocation to refocus ourselves and connect to others. A reminder that simple gestures can be powerful and disruptive, capable of inspiring permanent shifts in perspective. 2020 Vision is this digital catalog and the forthcoming exhibition of the MFA Program in Studio Art at Brooklyn College.

(1) Born in Niigata, Japan, in 1937, Shigeko Kubota grew up in a monastic environment during WWII and the subsequent postwar period. She later studied sculpture in Tokyo in the late 1950s and early 1960s, during which Japan strived to reestablish its financial, political and psychological welfare from the devastation of the war. This period also offered a chance for Japanese artists to move away from fairly confined notions of presentation and cultural isolation from the global art community. Although such avant-garde group, as Gutai, began to evoke innovative ideas in the 1950s. For instance, painting by foot, crashing through papers, throwing paint, or displaying water in Osaka and Tokyo, a gender-biased phenomenon was still a fixed hierarchy of the society. After the failure of local art community to put up any critical response to her work, Kubota took off on a Boeing 707, leaving her native country for New York in 1964. She was drawn to the glittering landscape of the New York art scene, where Pop art, Happening, Minimal and Conceptual work were the dominant manners of the time. Through Yoko Ono, she was soon acquainted with George Maciunas, the founder of Fluxus, and became a core member of Fluxus participating in various street events and performances.

    A Rasika's Tale…

    A RASIKA'S TALE… DR. ALKA PANDE Abstract: The paper will attempt to investigate t he cultural context of the changing representation of Indian art, from pre modern to modern and the contemporary.. From Bharat's Saundarya Shastra to Baumarten's Aesthetica. From the spiritual to the the visual, how Indian art practices have undergone changes and transformations from the Dancing girl Of Mohenjo Daro to the Kitchen of Subodh Gupta. Is the contemporary Indian artist looking for endorsement from the West? Or is the Indian artist coming of age in a global cosmopolitan work? Where does the legacy of art and craft find its space? As a subaltern voice or that of a contemporary artistic practice? From Making to Not Making……………….. I naturally gravitated towards the bunch of people crowding near a T.V. monitor at the Arsenale in Venice. The occasion was the opening preview of the 54th edition of the Venice Biennale. And once I managed to find a foothold to squeeze myself in amidst the crowd, I dug in my heels and stood entranced. A huge movie buff, I was in heaven. I was viewing short crisp footages of movies centering around the clock. I found I was looking at the work of Christian Marclay. I was to discover that Marclay got the Golden Lion for the best artist at the Venice Biennale 2011 for his 24-hour film montage. Marclay, born in California, is an artist and composer who explores synchronicity among music, film and video in his works. "The Clock" features clips from such diverse films as "High Noon," starring Gary Cooper; "Titanic," with Leonardo DiCaprio; and the Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie "Eraser." Times shown on screen in "The Clock" are synchronised with real time.
