It is undeniably one of the key contributing factors in the "modern" of modernism. If it cannot be produced ahead of it's time, if society isn't discussing it 20 years from now, can it truly be modern? Every artist contributes something to the world that is later consumed as content into the future!]]> 2017-09-10 23:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186196662 Reproduction tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186197208 Today, it's extremely common for us to buy, or even sell, mass produced prints of artwork we like or create. Production is influenced socially and economically, and with the embrace of industrialization between major shifts in art (impressionism to post-impressionism, expressionism to fauvism, all the way to dada and surrealism etc.) the concept modernity was based on the need and ease for cheap reproduction. This was driving force that brought about methods such as lithography, into popularity. ]]> 2017-09-10 23:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186197208 Personality tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186197891 Works of modernist art either have their own narratives an personalities, or are tied to that of their creator's. Personality is not only infectious, but influences the style of those around it, and those in the future. Many modernist works reflect the work of their current peers at the time, or improve upon the path paved by their predecessors using their personal voice within the modern era. ]]> 2017-09-10 23:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186197891 Unconventionality tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186198646 No matter where or when modernist art is made, it is likely much more unconventional and status quo defying than the works before it. It raises questions, pushes the boundaries of what is and isn't acceptable, and begins conversations about how experimental art can truly be. For example, surrealism focused more on dreams and the subconscious, differing from more conventional art practices. Art is pushed, deconstructed, and then shaped back into something new over and over again. ]]> 2017-09-10 23:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186198646 Experience tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186203375 Every artist, consumer, and respective artwork has their own lens in which they view (or are viewed in) a work of art. Context changes due to every individual experience and everyone has their own understanding of how an artwork is viewed and relevant within their own lives and communities. No one's experience or understanding is truly all the same.]]> 2017-09-11 00:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186203375 tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186221614 Drucker, Johanna, et al. "Modernism." Encyclopedia of Aesthetics. Oxford Art Online. Oxford University Press, accessed September 11, 2017

    Drucker's entry on Modernism is a detailed and helpful combination essay on the aesthetics of the time, in dance, music, traditions and more. ]]>     2017-09-11 02:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186221614     tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/186537228 Christov-Bakargiev, Carolyn. 2003. I moderni = The moderns. Milan: Skira.

    The Moderns is an excellent dive into 20th century contemporary artists and writers, their perspectives and place within modernism. It's helpful because it showcases the variety of artists that thrived between the boundaries of modernist and post-modernist, and how flimsy the veil between all labels within art can be.

    This book, focusing on twentieth century artist Alfred Stieglitz, has been interesting to read. It includes ideology, identity, and diaspora in it's perception of modernism. It is also a grand focus on individuality, focusing on artists like Sadakichi Hartmann and Georgia O'Keeffe.

    Trodd's writing at first feels out of place in my search for modernist information, but in reality it's exactly what I needed to read. It's less about resisting technology, but seeing modernist art, much like Marcel Duchamp's, as a response to the mechanical advances of the time.

    While Wyeth is not generally associated with the modernism era, he was actively working during it and has personal relevance to me as an illustrator! He was culturally relevant in America, most famous for having illustrated pieces for Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.

    Matisse has a lot of global relevance even today as someone who changed everyone's perception of color, and how to use it. His work is still talked about as revolutionary, and now, we are still talking about his work in our classes. Whether you hate or love his work, it is undeniable that it has an immense impact on our artistic society. ]]>     2017-10-02 04:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/192846947     Vincent van Gogh tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/192846969 Vincent Willem van Gogh, Dutch, born the 30th of March 1853, died 29th of July 1890.

    Vincent Van Gogh is still a culturally and artistically relevant today. His work is iconic, and while it may not have been widely celebrated in his life, today we regard it as inspirational for his use of color.]]>     2017-10-02 04:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/192846969     Pablo Picasso tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/192847096 Picasso, Spanish, born October 25th 1881, died April 8th 1973.

    Picasso was a painter, sculptor, and more. He's renowned for evolving stylistically over time, unconventionally bringing some of the most well-known artwork into creation. Some of the eras of work he evolved through were post-impressionism, expressionism, surrealism, and cubism. ]]>     2017-10-02 04:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/192847096     Egon Schiele tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/192847398 Schiele, Austrian, born 12th of June 1890, died 31st of October 1918. 

    Egon Schiele had a short lived career, and was heavily influenced by the artist Gustav Klimt. Schiele's work has a personality and fluidity unlike any other. It was often regarded as grotesque, and still is, but every individual work has it's own character and expression. ]]>     2017-10-02 04:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/192847398     tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/192953811 2017-10-02 12:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/192953811 Kathe Kollwitz tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/193181815 Kollwitz, German, born 8th July 1867, died 22nd of April 1945. 

    Kollwitz, a painter, printmaker, and sculptor, had a pervasive narrative of tragedy within her work. A lot of the personality within it is stricken with grief, sadness, or feel plagued by anger. There's a strong sense of loss within artwork - building on age old themes of maternity, the death of family, etc.

    Kandinsky's work, being a printmaker and theorist, is characterized by large swathes of color, or line, in abstract forms. The personality in his own work comes out through the narrative of finding out how much color effects us]]>     2017-10-02 19:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/193185282     Joan Miro tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207947170 Miro, Spanish, born 20th of April 1893, died December 25th 1983. 

    Joan Miro was a painter and sculptor, and while he belonged to many facets of art he was most notably a surrealist, and influenced by Picasso. ]]>     2017-11-17 00:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207947170     tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207949563 2017-11-17 00:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207949563 Marcel Duchamp tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207950117 Marcel Duchamp, French-American, born July 28th 1887, died October 2nd, 1968. 

    Duchamp was a visual artist who created work within the facets of Dada and Cubism, most known for his "ready-made's" and the satire that populated his work. ]]>     2017-11-17 00:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207950117     tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207953664 2017-11-17 01:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207953664 Tom Huck Evil tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207956596 Tom Huck, American, born December 9th 1971. 

    Tom Huck is a printmaker who makes largely political, satirical, "low brow" artwork at a large scale. I thought I'd bring an artist to the table who uses a method of reproduction, but creates work that's very aggressive and anti-capitalist. ]]>     2017-11-17 01:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207956596     Toulouse-Lautrec tmauldin2 https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207957632 Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, French, born November 24th 1864, died September 9th 1901. 

    Lautrec was a painter, printmaker, and illustrator. He was extremely influenced by the Japanese ukiyo-e prints of the period, and it's safe to say without them that his work would not have manifested the way it did. His lithograph posters are widely still reproduced today, too, and were a form of mass production used in tandem with society/economy at the time. ]]>     2017-11-17 01:51:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tmauldin2/modernism_and_after/wish/207957632
