Module Twelve - Blog: Video Review


I choose this two video because both are like a sequence of each other.  In the second video Uncertainty: Modernity and Art they mention the abstract art before the abstract expressionism. In the video Abstract Expressionism and Pop: Art of the '50s and '60s  they said “Abstract Expressionism was born from a joining of attitudes in American art and European avant-garde art, but was later rejected for its nonfigurative and seemingly egocentric character in favor of the ultra-objective phenomenon known as Pop Art”.  They talk about Abstract Art vs. Figurative Art and Color in Kline's Art.  Frankenthaler's "Mountains and Sea".  The Impact of Frankenthaler's Work was mention too in this video. They explain to the abstract expression of Rauschenberg vs Warhol and Lichtenstein’s Style and Themes.

 In the second video they show How Instead of offering an idealized or ennobled vision of humankind, modern art an instrument of the tumultuous 20th century communicates chaos, anxiety, and above all, uncertainty. In this program, Matthew Collings contrasts the works of Pablo Picasso with the abstracts of Paul Klee and Piet Mondrian and the architecture of Le Corbusier; tells how the Nazis tried to eradicate modern art’s uncertainties with some crushing certainties of their own; and shows how modern art’s relationship with modern life changed. In this video they explain the meaning of modern art and the different stages in the history. They mention the china and the isolations of art and globalization. They finishing mention the journey of the art to this days.

They are related to the reading in chapters 23 and 24 because in the book they start from the modern to postmodern and them present the modern art too. Both theme present in the videos. This video definitely help to understand better the history of art. In my opinion they are great videos.
