Sherlock Balla's Accomplishments

During the 1870s a new category of art formed known as the Aesthetic Movement, which was based upon not what world was around the art, but the art itself (Pohl 284). This movement originated in England and spread throughout the Americas opposing the current views about art during the time the it arose, which was the ideology that art must always serve some sort of clandestine purpose. Artists who supported the Aesthetic Movement also denied any moral values that people gave to art. The painting that I chose that best fits the ideals of aestheticism is In the Studio, 1880 by William Merritt Chase. During the 19th century industrialization rapidly began to change American culture bringing on consumerism and capitalism, which focused on the

Growing up, I enjoyed reading the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. These stories allowed me to intellectually immerse myself into the vivid world of Holmes and his partner Dr. John Watson as they solved criminal mysteries. I was captured by the methodological and detailed focus the characters exhibited regarding intricate clues that guided their investigations into successfully solving crimes. Many aspects of medicine parallel the methods utilized by Holmes and Watson. Similar to the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the practicing physician observes how the human body works and they study evidence based reasoning in an attempt to apply this information to reach a diagnosis and decide upon a treatment.

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

Overall, the ideologies discussed within the articles Written In Blood: 20th Century Art by Stephanie Dudek and Estrangement As A Motif In Modern Painting by John Adkins Richardson address similarities and differences from various standpoints. Modernistic ideologies towards social, cultural and technological changes of the 20th century are demonstrated in both articles. The article by Stephanie Dudek emphasizes on the employment of radical and transgressive values by modern artists within their work to target cultural, and artistic principles that have persisted over many generations leading to a transformation within the subject of art (Dudek 105). Furthermore, modern art set out to obtain new visions of reality as witnessed within the Cubist

A comparison between Puritan expectations and Christian expectations of the New World and how these affected their growth as societies.

The advent of the Great War however led to the changing of many these attitudes; the fall in prominence of Art Nouveau and the rise of avant-garde movements such as De Stijl, Dutch Rationalism, the Amsterdam School, the Bauhaus, Dada and Russian Constructivism are clear signs of that.

Many times in society, life is sometimes influenced by art and during other times art is imitated by life. Art being able to imitate life means that the brush strokes of a painter or the innovative ideas of an architect are influenced by the world around him or her. During the years of 1900-1917 the United States was going through a number of changes. These changes helped to indentify the period as the Reformation Era. During the Reformation era the United States was becoming reshaped politically, economically, socially, and culturally. Painters such as George Benjamin Luks used pastel colors to paint pictures of a newly reformed society. In his painting Hester Street revealed a New York City that was accepting to Jewish culture and lifestyles (Figure 1) . Other pictures painted during the Progressive Era depicted more areas of city life, sports, different ethnic groups and culture. The life that was present in many of these painting showed a country that valued women, minorities, and individuality.

Arthur Holmes born in England on January 14,1890. He became interested in earth science at an early age. He graduated associate of the royal college of science in 1910 for geology. He discovered the radiometric methods of dating rocks of the origins deep seated rocks. The technology he used to find the radiometric methods was by graduating at London Imperial college. He used radioactive dating to measure the rate of unstable atoms decaying. He was interested in earth science and physics also got a degree.

Dada, known for it’s chaotic nature, indirect protesting and iconoclasm also evolved into a political movement. Rejection of artistic mastery, defying authority, overprinting, and purposeful mistakes, where all a part of what Tristain Tzara and his contemporaries were trying to succeed. Cubism, Vorticism, Orphism, Purism, and Futurism also came about because of World War I. Heavily influenced by Cubism and it’s shattered glass appearance Futurism was the most politically mind of these five movements. Somewhat akin to Dada in it’s chaotic nature Futurist’s, however, were staunchly pro war and were looking for ways to bring Italy into the present times. Purism, on the other hand, took the collage look of synthetic Cubism and modern abstract style and made

In Langston Hughes' The Blues I'm Playing, the blues are the source of Oceola's life and her choices. Langston is trying to illustrate the conflict between life and art. The art in this story is represented in a confined manner, as a disciplined career with a white woman acting as the overseer in the young lady's life. Art to Oceola, with its profit, convenience and privileges offers an array of benefits, but being embodied in Dora Ellsworth, the art seems to drift away from life's vitality. Life in Oceola sings itself in jazz and blues in Harlem, ignores the artistic East 63rd Street and the rules by which are claims its superiority. There is a

In order to discuss pop art I have chosen to examine the work and to some extent lives of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol who were two of the main forces behind the American movement. I intend to reflect the attitudes of the public and artists in America at this time, while examining the growing popularity of pop art from its rocky, abstract expressionist start in the 1950s through the height of consumer culture in the 60s and 70s to the present day.

Sleeping on the couch was not a typical thing for the detective; he had his own bed only a few feet from where he laid sprawled, but the past few nights the couch had been his choice. One leg hung over the edge of the worn cushions, an arm draped across his eyes, and his navy blue robe twisted and tangled about his limbs. Yes, this was one of the great detective's bad days; Sherlock Holmes was in a slump.

Much of the passion for a modernist change in art can be seen to arise from a need to compensate for new conditions in modern experience.

Futurism was an artistic and social movement originating from 20th century Italy. The movement ultimately rejected anything that looked to the past for identity. Instead, it glorified speed, technology, youth, and the idea of anything industrial and mass-produced. As the founders of the movement would have it, the movement explored different mediums of art and design, ultimately overarching each other, and finding its way into many aspects of daily life; including and not limited to conventional mediums such as painting, sculpture architecture, film, music, poetry, and photography; just to name a few. With its dynamic and innovative aesthetic qualities, it is still being appreciated and used in conceptual ways by a handful of present day designers and art directors as seen in Image 1 (MCM

A new form of art was born called modernism which helped to describe the new world
