Art Tendencies: A Rejection Of The Dehumanizing Experience
During the past ten weeks we’ve identified two broad tendencies in the history of modern art. In the first tendency (epitomized by the works of the PreRaphaelites, Monet, Gauguin, Kandinsky, and the Abstract Expressionists) the artist turns away from any direct engagement with, or reference to, the forces and influences of modern life. In the second tendency (represented by Courbet, Daumier, and the Dada and Constructivist movements) the artist chooses to interact directly with those forces and influences. Describe the ways in which each tendency constitutes a protest against the dehumanizing experience of modernization, using two artists from each group. Using specific examples, describe the way in which works of art produced within each tendency sought to transform or otherwise affect the consciousness of the viewer.
