Day 2 Modern Art Research
After reading "After Modern Art 1945-2000" by David Hopkins, I want to research the following:
1. Are there books that talk about the 1930s U.S. Depression and how that encouraged young artist to adopt left-wing principles?
2. Who were the members of the 1938 group "Towards a Free Revolutionary Art" movement?
a. Creators of movement: French Surrealist Leader Andre Breton, Mexican Muralist Diego Rivera and Leon Trotsky
3. Research Internet to see if you can find art journal "View" from 1945.
4. Who is Zen Buddhist D.T. Suzuki and how did he play a role in the modern art movement in the U.S.?
5. How is Black Mountain College in North Carolina today?
6. Is there a book that chronicles how the 1952-1957 Senator Joseph McCarthy, "McCarthy Reign of Terror," affected the modern art movement?
7. Who was Italian painter Alberto Burri?
8. In the book "After Modern Art 1945-2000" by David Hopkins, he writes on page 52. McCarthyism correlated homosexuality with Communism. Then he goes on to say, on page 53, that more homosexuals than Communists ended up losing their jobs in the Federal government during this time period. Is there a book that talks about this in more detail?
9. Is there a book on Lee Krasner who was married to Jackson Pollock?
10. Research Jasper Johns usage of letters and numbers in his artwork.
11. Who was Italian artist Piero Manzoni?
12. Look for book "The Death of the Author" by Roland Barthes
13. Who was Art Dealer Leo Castelli? How did he play a part in the modern art movement?
14. Look for book "The Rebel" by Albert Camus
15. Look for book "Twenty-six Gasoline Stations" by Ed Ruscha
16. Look for book "Naked City" by photographer Weegee
17. Look for book "The Society of the Spectacle" by Guy Debord
18. See if Swiss Linguist Ferdinand de Saussuve wrote a book about language being arbitrary. "Signifier" is the word or utterance and "Signified" is the thing to which it refers.
19. Look for book "The Postmodern Condition" by Jean-Francois Lyotard
20. Look for book "Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism" by Frederic Jameson
21. Who was comic-book artist Robert Crumb?
22. How did the Saatchi Family play a role in modern art? Is there a book on Charles and Maurice Saatchi?
23. Is there a book on African American artist Lorna Simpson?
