Traditional Fine Arts Response To Futurism

Though the start of the modernisation may trace back to the beginning of Industrial Revolution. “Modernism in the design world did not exist in a fully developed form, until well after First World War.” (Wilk, 2006) Causing the great loss of lives and other countless damage to the world, it reshaped many people’s way of thinking the world. With the inspiration of early avant-garde movement, the modernism began to emerge advocating an utopian future and shared certain core principles by various styles of modernists: rejecting the past and applied ornament; forms follow function, a preference for

Drawings, painting, and sculpture, has been known not right from the earliest starting point as confirm by the relics of the past. Be that as it may, positively, innovation has made it workable for new types of gear to be exploited and for new mediums to be utilized. There is additionally the alternative of computerized craftsmanship that will permit individuals to work with hues and pictures even without the most severe preparing to make the best magnum opuses.

Although brutalism functioned as a movement in modern architecture, it shared many ideas with the pop movement, including that of the “valuation of materials as found” (Potts 2014). Paolozzi sees the “mystery and magic in the everyday”, which Kirkpatrick calls the “schizophrenic quality” of western urban life (Kirkpatrick 1969, p. 24). This idea would be important for Paolozzi as he developed and revised his methods for gathering, selecting, and arranging found printed images of modern mass media into collages. As much as Paolozzi valued found materials, he also insisted on the transformation of those materials. For him, finding materials did not preclude their manipulation. He was not rigid in his artistic thought. Unlike some theory-based dada artists of the time, Paolozzi embraced uncertainty and was open to the unknown synergies that only collage could produce (Potts 2014). Elements of the mechanized human, of magic, and of damaged man (not without hope however!) permeate his early work, reactions to an age where mass communication rendered death and destruction available daily in newspapers, on Television, and in magazines (Kirkpatrick

In response to shifting perceptions of art prompted by the Industrial Revolution, the work of

Art and design has gone through many significant developments throughout history. The most important turning point was the renaissance. Art took a huge turn before the 1500’s and even after. The Renaissance has assisted the world of art in breaking away from a classic structure and shaping it to what it is day. Prior to this cultural rebirth, artworks were mostly not made to scale. Paintings were unrealistic and disproportionate. Religious figures seemed to be the focus of many works. The Renaissance changed the old social context of art by introducing humanism, new themes and techniques.

By 1966 he had begun producing a series of 'shaft' pictures which had their primary origins in dreams. Bottomless shafts, undoubtedly representative of the birth canal, surrounded by a series of steep banister-less stairways the embodying fear and danger predominated these pictures. Other works produced at that time had birth allusions, and included underground cities as well as buried bio-mechanoids. These humanoid beings combined features of humans with mechanical equipment.

Benjamin defines the Dada movement as a clear example of the attempt to “create by pictorial – and literary – means the effects which public today seeks in the film” (Benjamin, 1968: 13). The reproducibility of art eliminates its uniqueness – its “aura” – in favour of an adaptation to the tools of modernity, transforming the role of the artist in the one of the engineer and his work in a construction. Haussman’s work moves between political criticisms, as he tries to exemplify in this head the example of the modern man, and scientific approaches, as he uses new technological techniques such as montage and photomontage as a tool for his art.

The futurist art movement and its characteristic manifestos had a significant impact on ‘modernist’ art movements since the 20th century. Aside from founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, who was a poet, many manifestos were written by painters or about visual art: Marinetti’s two founding manifestos were directly followed by three manifestos by Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Giacomo Balla, Luigi Russolo, and Gino Severini, all of whom were painters.

If art should mean something, then it is not the surprise that art is often tied to tradition. Being attached to traditional techniques, traditional standards of beauty, and traditional themes in art happens because art that follows tradition gains meaning from it. When artists reject tradition, or the meaning attached to the tradition, they will create art that gains meaning from changing or making new techniques, aesthetics, and themes. There is an argument about whether it is possible to completely reject tradition, or to create art that is totally new. However, many artists actually try to adopt the middle ground, innovating , moving away from tradition in some way, but at the same time to honor it another way. Therefore, a major tool that has revolutionizing art is the computer. “Since its first artistic application nearly thirty years ago, the computer has radically transformed the way in which art can be made and experienced. Digital technology has been incorporated into all stages of the art-making process, from design to execution” (Goodman 248). While it is not uncommon for many artists to reject computer tools when creating art, it is interesting to think of artists who adopt this modern tool and also seek to combine it somehow with traditional artistic techniques. To begin, when they use a new tool, it does not mean much

The modernism period was a time for art to search for a new form of expression. It was a movement in western art which had develops in the middle of the 19th century and tried to capture the pictures and sensibilities of the age. Modernism art expand way beyond simply dealing with the present and involves the critical examination from the artist masterpieces. Modernism advance a era of testing in the arts from the mid 19th to the mid-20th century, coming after World War I. in the era where it was characterized by industrialization, being advanced in science which lead to society changes. Postmodernism started in the late 20th century. It’s characterized as a “general suspicion of reason”

There’s no doubt that technology is moving art and its creative process over time. The invention of portable paint tubes and art supplies made outdoor painting accessible and Impressionism prevalent, from where we have had the honor to know about Claude Monet through his legendary lily pond from his suburban residence at Giverny, France and on the walls of canvas at Musee L’Orangerie in the city of Paris. More recently in the 20th century, if it is not for the revolutionary invention of silkscreen printing, Andy Warhol would not have become a household name in the art world. The truth is, to artists, technology has been a driving force to constantly provide and inspire new ways of art creation for a long time, arguably since the beginning of art history. However, it is not until the recent decades in the 20th and 21st century that we start to see the

This paper expounds the topic is the arts and crafts movement, it should be from the historical origin of its start: mid nineteenth Century, after the British Industrial Revolution industrialized production in Vitoria with the cumbersome decoration style also caused a sharp decline in the level of design, resulting in Britain and other countries of the designers hope to learn from some useful factors from the traditional design and design style in the Far East, the trend changed radically and reverse design decadent.

The second part of this essay is devoted to post-modernism. I have chosen two periods of Modernism and Post-Modernism as they are so much interconnected, the further development of modernism resulted in forming another movement in art, called as post-modernism. The word ‘post-modernism’ is over used nowadays and it gives the impression of being just nothing behind the popular buzzword. Although, it is a separate movement, which has a number of commonalities with modernism art, but at the same time has significantly different characteristics. [12]

Modernism at its core focuses on the culture, society and world during the time in which works were made in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. While Modernism encompassed a handful of unique styles and movements, only one in particular took an interest in the qualities of dreamlike states and unconsciousness: Surrealism. The Surrealist period dates back to beginning in 1925 and ending in 1945. Members of this art movement worked together closely in an organized fashion under their leader Andre Breton. Under Breton’s work the First Surrealist Manifesto written in 1924, he laid down the movement’s foundation and created a stepping stone for other artists to follow behind. Through this text and the artist’s works, “the Surrealists laid the foundation for a type of artistic practice that continues to maintain its relevance.”1 Surrealist artists took a stand against the formal workings of the everyday, trained artist and instead looked within themselves to create works turning away from control and logical reasoning that continuously inspires artists even to this day.

The term modernism was first invented on the beginning of the 20th century, and it had some important artistic and philosophical movements, including symbolism, futurism, surrealism, expressionism or dada, which were fundamental in art, architecture, photography, music and literature. During the time of modernism people accepted new ways and new points of view, what often lead to attempts of cutting off the traditional ways. According to Charles Harrison, the idea of modernism “Refers to a range of technological, economic and political processes associated with the industrial revolution and its aftermath”. (Harrison, 1997, p.6).
