in detail, various people during her experience in the art world. Her description of each individual is supposed to be of an unbiased opinion. While reading, it is shown that such writing is not always presented; leading the readers to have a biased opinion formed for them. This is shown as she stumbled on Hans Ulrich Obrist; an art curator, historian, and critic.

Through the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s it grew in popularity and throughout time photography went from being badly received to a new form of art though people around the world still debate if it is indeed “art”.

Art provokes oneself to express a feeling that one has encountered in their lifetime and allows the artist to display their masterpiece for an observer to connect to. Artist Berthe Morisot once said, “It is important to express oneself… provided the feelings are real and are taken from your own experience”.

I believe that World War One was the final nail in the coffin not only for Art Nouveau but also some other styles of art and literature during this time. World War One, also known as the Great War during 1914 till 1918 tilted culture on its side, particularly in Europe and the United States. In these four years alone nearly 9 million people died and millions more were maimed or psychologically scarred especially in Europe where most of the fighting took place (7). World War I is considered by some

The question I am exploring within this topic is why did the influence of the time period of World War II create such sexual and abstract works of art ?

A World Without Art Periodically, the question will come up, “ If you had to give up one of your senses, which one would you select?” Which one, the question implies, could you best do without? I ruminate on this question occasionally, wondering what it would be like to be without something that that is so taken for granted that I don’t even really think about it at all. What, I ask myself, would I miss the most? These questions come to mind when I watch a little girl in one of my kindergarten

Purist art focused on the wholeness of objects and celebrated French manufacturing, German New Objectivity art focused on creating sympathy for WWI veterans and anger towards enemies.

World War I, starting in Europe July 28, 1914.This war that lasted only 4 years, had major effects all over the world.

This major influence mainly started with music, promoting American men to join the army and for women to help in war effort. Surprisingly World War 1 not just influenced economy, music, industrial aspects of America, but other American art
MYSTICISM, MYTHOLOGY AND MAGIC IN THE ART WORLD In spite of religion being the ruling subject matter of art for many centuries, magic and mysticism have long been interwoven in a dark curtain that hangs over a large segment of the art world. The whole world is alive and filled with soul, whether light or dark. “Each material form may be thought of as attracting an appropriate soul, as firewood treated with sulphur draws flame.” While there is no historical or scientific evidence for the legitimacy
