Jian Wu ESL 15/ Dr. Adams The art is all over the world, there are so many different type of art, such as painting, sculpture, and graffiti. People have different idea about the art; like different type of arts. Dorothy Allison in her essay “This Is Our World” shows how these types of art provokes. She points out about art were well made because of her stories. Allison proved the art is subjective.
Regardless of artist intent, the significance of any artwork is created by the audience, who is influenced by the views of their world and personal experience. The French artist Edouard Manet, who worked primarily in the 1860’s, and contemporary Australian artist Bill Henson both employ the subject matter of the female nude in their art, but with different outcomes due to the influence of their separate contexts. It can be seen that particular art critics from different contexts interpret these artists’ works differently, due to the changing attitudes to the human figure over time. Their artworks are interpreted according to the audience’s social, cultural and historical circumstances, with critical opinion having influence over audience perceptions
While recording the changing face of Australian society, The Archibald Prize has indeed triggered controversy. Various artists from around Australasia instantly became motivated to undertake this competition after the first Archibald Prize being awarded in 1921. The money the prize offered wasn’t the only motive that made the artists eager, but the publicity involved giving them an opportunity to have their work shown in a major gallery. However, the major matter really deserves to be considered controversial is the quality of the painting. The conceptual framework of artist, artwork, audience and world is definitely evident in the process of creating a portrait legible to submit to the competition.
She makes the argument sound trivial, when she says that education can be provided to each donor about their choices. She then goes on to ask: “Besides, how unfair is it to poor people if compensation enhances their quality of life?”(133). With this question she seems to dismiss the chance that a poor person might be exploited, as if it was nothing to worry about. She also mentions the distastefulness one might feel towards the business of selling and buying organs. She simply rebuts that one needs to have a better reason to not save a life than to just be ethically disgusted.
The author of the poem was born in the era of 50’s where there is an influential movement occurred at that time which involves massive change on literature works by many artist. This movement presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising, news, etc. In pop art, material is sometimes visually removed from its known context, isolated, or combined with unrelated material, known as installation art. The concept is employing such aspect like mass culture and gives the idea of abstract expressionism. It is aimed to gives images of given culture in such ironic way to emphasise the poor taste because of its excessiveness.
It has philosophical subtext of fame and how it affects art. It speaks about how art in turn gets affected due to popular opinion. Woody Allen himself also introduces his affairs from his past and present, which can be a subtext of how relationships are in general and how we are as people and how we get attached to people. It speaks about human attraction is general and how destructive we are. The Kid has a lot of subtext starting with religion.
Marzhan Doszhanova Female Interpretation of the Modernist Reality: Virginia Woolf. The beginning of the 20th century was a time of confusion and tension that resulted in revolutions, uprisings and eventually World War 1. It was also a time of innovative inventions, new philosophies and attempt to be liberated from the bonds of everything conventional; it was the rise of the modernist era. Modernism, as many critics believe, was a response to the scientific, political and economic developments of the time and the transformed human perception of the “new” reality. The movement arose from the international sense of depression, and the realization of many that there was nothing concrete or reliable anymore.
One aspect that enforced my decision to look at an artist, the likes of ‘Andres Serrano’ was that of controversy and the term ‘abject’. I felt that his work relates to that of earlier work of my own, and work I would look in to again, just not at present, as I feel that this first year at university, for me is about experiment. The term abject, to me simply means to shock the viewer, however there are numerous examples of it. Often its is used to describe groups, the likes of homosexuals, race, handicapped, convicts and poor people. This term originates in the works of Julia Kristeva.
There is definite value in her argument, but because she just scratches the surface of how emotions could be incorporated into the process of acquiring knowledge, there are a few areas of her theory that are problematic. For the sake of brevity, this paper will discuss what is, perhaps, the biggest flaw in the Jaggar reading—standpoint theories seem to be oblivious to differing experiences of particular individuals within groups and instead speaks of experiences of these groups as shared ones. Allison Jaggar asserts that theories that make the distinction between emotion and reason in association with acquiring knowledge are mistaken because they falsely assume that emotions are involuntary responses that can be separated from
Nevertheless, Hume’s theory Of the Standard of Taste holds much merit that offers insight into how human beings perceive beauty in art. Hume began his examination into the standard of taste by addressing the idea that the beauty of an object or an artwork is tailored to the individual tastes of the viewer and consequently, beauty is always present in a piece, even if one person finds it to be aesthetically lacking so long as another person is aroused by feelings in response to the object or artwork. This can be simplified into the interpretation that everybody merely has different tastes. Hume agrees with the idea that the perception of beauty is subjective even though there is widespread agreement on some issues with little opposition, and this idea is evident through Hume’s quote, “whoever would assert an equality of genius and elegance between Ogilby and Milton… would be thought to defend no less an extravagance, than if he had maintained a mole-hill to be as high as Teneriffe, or a pond as extensive as the ocean.” Although this may be the case,
