Modern Art: Basic Assumptions, Definitions, and QualificationsEmergence of New Criteria and Proliferation of StylesModern artists moved away from representation toward abstraction andthe "self-sufficiency of forms and colors" in painting.This gave rise to the inventive and forward-looking work of AbstractExpressionist painters in the 1940s and '50s.It also challenged conventional views of art’s expressive potential.Arshile Gorky, The Leaf of the Artichoke is an Owl, 1944Joan Mitchell, City Landscape, 1955Willem de Kooning, Woman I, 1952Tuesday, February 7, 2012
Modern Art: Basic Assumptions, Definitions, and QualificationsEmergence of New Criteria and Proliferation of StylesSchapiro points out that analogous forms of abstraction were occurringsimultaneously in other arts, including poetry.Example: Kurt Schwitter’s Ursonate."The Sonata consists of four movements, of an overture and a finale, and seventhly, of acadenza in the fourth movement. The first movement is a rondo with four main themes,designated as such in the text of the Sonata. You yourself will certainly feel the rhythm, slackor strong, high or low, taut or loose. To explain in detail the variations and compositions ofthe themes would be tiresome in the end and detrimental to the pleasure of reading andlistening, and after all I'm not a professor."
