Dada Movement
Intellectual and artistic movement that appeared in New York and Zurich (1916), spread throughout Europe until 1923 and exercised, through its subversive practice, a decisive influence on various avant-garde movements. (We also say dadaism.)
Dada, an international movement of artists and writers, was born of an intense distaste for the war, which, in his view, marked the collapse of civilizations, culture and reason. Terrorist, provocateur, iconoclast, refusing any ideological, moral or artistic constraint, he advocates confusion, demoralization, absolute doubt and releases the virtues of spontaneity, kindness, joy of living. Paradoxically, its activity of deconstruction and destruction of languages (verbal and plastic) is reflected in sustainable works that open up some major paths of contemporary art.

The goal of Dadaism was to shock the world of art to its core to give a surprising non-traditional view to the world while protesting the war. Dadaism was so powerfully unnatural through its view on non-traditional perspectives on the fine arts for example like poetry, literature, and drama, as well as visual art, Dada certainly deserves to be remembered as one of the most influential art movements of the 20th

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work is a good examples, a one of few, how an early 1980s American Punk or graffiti-based counter-cultural practice could become a fully recognized, critically embraced and popularly celebrated artistic phenomenon. Also, it is an example of how American artists of the 1980s could reintroduce the human figure in their work after the wide success of Conceptualism and Minimalism, thus establishing a dialogue with the more distant tradition of the 1950s Abstract Expressionism Despite ‘’unstudied’’ appearance of his work, Basquiat very purposefully and skillfully brought together in his art a host of disparate traditions, styles and practices in order to create a unique kind of visual collage, one deriving, partly, from his urban origins, and in another a more distant, African-Caribbean heritage. Jean-Michel Basquiat was born on December, 22 in 1960, in Brooklyn, New York. He was raised in a

INTRODUCTION I became interested about Alberto Giacometti and Kasimir Malevich when I was in school studying about them. They offered a series of responses to the Art and I was inspirited by experience of researching, reading and watching about their work and personality. For this reason I have decided to bring them back from my past memory in this presentation. They shaped me by their style. The existentialism and the solitude of Giacometti's figures, wandering in the vacuity of space and the supremacy to Malevich about the construction of forms starting from nothing

WWI was the turning point for modernism where many artists involved in the war welcomed nihilism and expressed their opposing views on outdated societal norms through non-traditional works of art. The artists of the movement had a different point of view regarding how reality was portrayed. Characteristics of this modern avant-garde revolution included the expressive use of color, primitivism, and experimentation. Modernism soon had a huge impact on artistic styles and techniques throughout the 20th century, resulting in a profusion of artistic movements from impressionism to the influential style of cubism. Picasso founded and established cubism in the design of one of his most loved pieces, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and was considered the

While the strengths perspective uses the language of social justice and empowerment, the solutions it suggests are essentially grounded in (neo)liberal notions of individual responsibility, which have their roots in Kantian ethics and utilitarian means–end justifiation. Like liberalism, it upholds autonomy as an overriding moral ideal, a belief in people’s ability to choose with informed consent as the “standard liberal procedure by which agents manifest their autonomy” (Kristjánsson, 2007, p. 45). Liberalism promotes a small core of values, inflting autonomous choice and “the benefis of high self-esteem [which]…fosters the current self-help and therapy culture” (p. 178) of which social work, and especially the strengths perspective, is a part.

The ‘contradiction between art and society is as indispensable an element of the Marxist interpretation of the history of art as is the doctrine of their unity’ (Lifschitz, 1938, pg. 68). Indeed, Marxist thought is inclusive of an abundance of key concepts that intertwine with the arts in an ‘indispensable’ way. Such concepts include popular culture, class conflict and, namely, the ongoing Marxist struggle of capitalism within society. Many works can be discussed through a Marxian lens which generally offer powerful interpretations for art within society. This essay will analyse the ways in which Marxism assists in the understanding of the arts and, more specifically, the ways in which art responds to political agendas of the time.

Fatherless. Growing up as an African-American female, I have come to certain realizations that have made me more cautious of the people I chose to associate myself with on a day-to-day basis based on ignorance that society distributes for others’ use. For example, society portrays the black cultural without a father raised in a single-mother household in a low-income environment. By providing this image to the world, it allows them to interpret that image in any way they chose. In my case, my father was in my life for a short period of time which proved that stereotype right.

A Censored Soul Expressionism is classified as a movement of modernism. This art form initially started in poetry and later working into painting, starting in Germany and Eastern Europe in the 20th century. The basis of expressionism is to convey the world as it is seen through a personal perspective, usually being distorted in order to arouse ideas and emotions, it aimed to show the meaning of emotional encounters rather than reality itself. A Censored Soul (Figure 1) has a meaning that the opinions of ordinary people are irrelevant in modern day society. It follows the lines of expressionism as it expresses the opinion of the fact that if you are not important enough, you are nobody.

The start of modernism being the Pioneer Phase took place between the middle of the First World War and the crucial movements from 1929 to 1933, early 1930s being know as the International Style. Pioneer Phase is a chain of variations and individuals who took charge to the problems faced when dealing with the appropriate design that would symbolise the twentieth century. They did so by focusing on three core elements of design, architecture, graphics and furniture.(P.Greenhalgh,1990, p. 91) The Pioneer Phase could simply be classified as a collaboration of ideas in which designers envisioned how the world could create a way in which improves the “material conditions” and mould the consciousness of humankind.(P.Greenhalgh,1990, p. 3).
