Comparative Art / Matisse vs. Turner
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page piece on Matisse and Turner that compares the artifice in Odalisque and The Slave Ship. As Matisse's Impressionistic art sought to reflect a lifestyle, so did Turner's Romantic art. The difference being that Matisse was not interested in judgments or making political statements. His interest was in the placing of color on canvas in a certain order. Turner also had this interest, but his comment was political and of mythical proportions. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Comparing Artists Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper comparing and contrasting the works and politics of the artists Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol. Artists Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol lived and worked basically at the same time from the 1920s to the 1980s. Beuys, who grew up fairly conservatively, served in the war and held an academic position, expressed a great deal of warmth and hope in his art works which was also reflected in his political and philosophical outlook on life. He believed that all humans were students of life and it was their obligation to use their creativity throughout their disciplines to integrate the ideals of all cultures. Throughout his lifetime he was the founder of several activist groups designed to allow for a more open-minded society. His convictions to freedom of education were often at his own expense as he sacrificed a great deal for his activism. Warhol was known as one of the most influential commercial and pop culture artists of his time. His outlook on life and the human race was somewhat more grim than Beuys’ however as he believed that modern culture should and does act like a machine. He stressed that he was superficial along with the rest of society and used his celebrity to further his career mostly in the art, film, music and television industries. He did however use some of his exhibitions to display some of what he considered to be disasters of the twentieth century but most of his activism was through his art and not through outward causes like Beuys. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Comparing The Artistic Modernism Of Pre-World War I Europe To European Modernism In The 1920s
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The surrealist DaDa movement of post-World War I was the rebellious answer to the social and political nature of battle, successfully crushing the avant-garde period of pre-World War I, a conflict that effectively halted the heady artistic experimentation of prewar Western Europe. Avant-gardist artistry was responsible for the growth of myriad elements of contemporary art, including but not limited to cinema, advertising and newspaper/book publishing. Sadly, as the war passed, so too did many of the artistic personalities of the avant-garde period, as well. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Comparing Three Minimalist Artists
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper highlighting the work of Marcel Duchamp, Ulrich Ruckriem and Donald Judd. Of these three artists, it would appear that only Ruckriem is in danger of taking too seriously both his work and minimalist art in general. Duchamp made fun of the entire area of modern art and encouraged others to do the same; Judd even disdained hearing his work called sculpture. They each presented very different styles, both in their approaches and their final work, as evidenced by Ruckriem's concerns of his work being too much for a building to support weighed against the report of Judd's volume of work and wide range of sizes.
