The the notes I took in lectures and decided to post so they would be easy to locate when I need them.
-
MODERNISM
The second half of the 19 century - 20 century.
The deepest problems of modern life
derive from the claims of the individual
to preserve the autonomy and
individuality of his existence in the
face of overwhelming social forces. Georg Simmel
Artist: L.S. Lowry, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro,Edouard Manet.
Kitsh became more and more popular. Kitsch is a product of the industrial revolution which urbanized
the masses of Western Europe and America.
POST-MODERNISM
20 century art movement which criticise modernism.
Richard Hamilton Just what is it that makes today’s home’s so different, so appealing?, 1956
We no longer have recourse to grand
narratives – we can resort neither to the
dialectic of the Spirit nor even to the emancipation of humanity as a
validation for post-modern scientific discourse.
But the little narrative remains the quintessential form of
imaginative invention, most particularly in science.
A generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyper real.
Hyper reality - the
state where distinctions between objects and their representations are
dissolved and one is left with only simulacrum.
Zygmunt
Bauman, Intimations of Post modernity,
1992
Frederic
Jameson, Post modernism,
or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism, 1984
Artists: Vincent Van Gogh,Andy Warhol,Edvard
Munch,Marilyn Diptych,Cindy Sherman.
