Modern Art
• Defining modernism: modern refers to a period dating roughly from the 1860s through 1970 . Modernism was not one movement, but rather a multiplicity of ‘isms’.
• We are focusing on works post 1900.

Modernism is
• a desire to break away from impressionist art.• ditching the old rules of perspective, color, and
composition in order to work out their own visions. • reinforced by scientific discoveries that there is a whole
world behind things. • ‘Reality’-whatever that was- became a far more
abstract concept than it had been a generation earlier. • abandons intellect for intuition and depicts the world as
they perceived it behind the veils of physical appearance.

The Armory Show
• The event that was truly a catalyst for the growth of American Modernism was the Armory Show of 1913 in New York. This landmark event presented nearly 1,300 works representing 300 artists, about two thirds Americans, covering styles ranging from Ashcan to French Impressionist, Fauvist and Cubist. More than 75,000 people attended, and an entire generation of artists, collectors and critics were given a glimpse of the future.

The Ashcan School 1908-1918"Apostles of Ugliness"
• “Art for life’s sake" the Ash Can school shocked audiences with their depictions of the streets and city life.
• Best known for works portraying scenes of daily life in New York's poorer neighborhoods.
• The movement is most associated with a group known as The Eight, whose members included five painters associated with the Ashcan school.

Regionalism1930-1935
• Regionalism: Artists who shunned city life, and technological advances, to create scenes of rural life.
• Regionalist style is best-known through the so-called "Regionalist Triumvirate" of Grant Wood in Iowa, Thomas Hart Benton in Missouri, and John Steuart Curry in Kansas.
• During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Regionalist art was widely appreciated for its reassuring images of the American heartland.

The Top Dog of Regionalism Thomas Hart Benton
• There is a certain irony in the fact that Regionalism, which was promoted as the very expression of American democracy, was the kissing cousin of both the official art of 1930s Russia and that of 1930s Germany

Wyeth Quotes
• You think you're developing and getting better and then you see something you did years ago. Looking at your early work.. sometimes it has a depth that surprises you.
• Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing.. then a work of art may happen.

• With water color, you can pick up the atmosphere, the temperature, the sound of snow shifting through the trees or over the ice of a small pond or against a windowpane. Water color perfectly expresses the free side of my nature." - Andrew Wyeth

• I've never studied the Japanese. That's something that must have crept in there. But the Japanese are my biggest clients. They seem to like the elemental quality.

Abstract ExpressionismPost WW II
• Abstract expressionism: originated in New York in the 1940s and 1950s and aimed at subjective emotional expression with particular emphasis on the creative spontaneous act (e.g., action painting).
• The emphasis is on spontaneous, automatic or subconscious creation. What does it feel like.
• New York replaced Paris as the center of the artistic world.

Lavender Mist
• It looks like an aerial photograph of a city, but it is a city that has somehow been blasted . . . It also looks like astronomical photographs of nebulae and galaxies . . . while at the same time close up details of this and other paintings resemble microscopic photos of molecular structures.

Pop Art
• "The term first appeared in Britain during the 1950s and referred to the interest of a number of artists in the images of mass media, advertising, comics and consumer products.
• Pop art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist's use of the mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture is contiguous with the perspective of fine art.
