Arising from our class discussions. Digital 1 ( both sections ) , carefully read and generally commit to memory for next weeks class, not the class immediately threatening, but the next.

The following ....

Try to identify the defining or central characteristics of the individuals, the works, or movements linked to the names below.

I vigorously suggest that you follow the links or connections along their natural progression, perhaps from person to person, or work to work, or even movement to movement, as one might also follow a country path wandering along. Just look about. Try to both appreciate the works themselves, and try also to begin to perceive the enduring connections between them, and recognize that they are as art works or moments in Art History, inextricably bound to each other by context. Each person or work having an effect, an influence upon the other.

It is some of the finest of modern art and represents some of the pivotal
redefinitions of style and ideas, in Modern Art History.


Try not to be obsessive with the minutiae, endeavour to comprehend the work or movements in rather broad strokes (sorry about the pun) so to as better understand the general historical context and the progression of styles, philosophies and ways of working. If you find this all a trifle overwhelming, just think of it as gossip, because some of it frankly, is. Cool

Hey sir I was wondering if you had ever studied Neurology or anything related to the brain in a deeper than usual depth?
I found this lecture that explains the passion of art from a neurological standpoint and I thought you might enjoy it

I personally conducted some highly complex and scientifically suspect Neural and Perceptual investigations in the Sixties. Since then, not so much. What was the question ? Actually I did study some Brain physiology at Uni, in particular a course called " the Senses Considered as Perceptual Systems" it was fascinating. Thanks for the link. cheers
