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.
