A Brief History of Contemporary Art Contemporary art (English contemporary art, sometimes the definition of contemporary art is used as a synonym) is art created in the recent past and at the present time. Over time, once modern art becomes part of history. At this point in time, contemporary art is considered to be works created between the 1970s and the present day. In Russia in the 90s, the term “contemporary art” was also used, which is in many ways similar, but not identical in meaning to the term “contemporary art”. By contemporary art, participants in the artistic process in Russia meant innovative contemporary art (in terms of ideas and/or technical means).

A brief history of modern art The history of the development of new art directions of the twentieth century can be divided into two large stages: modernism (modern art) - art from the era of impressionism (starting around 1880) to the 1960-1970s and modern art - from the 70s x of the last century to the present. Contemporary art in its current form was formed at the turn of the 1960s-70s, when the terms “postmodern” and “postmodernism” were born. At this time, conceptual art and minimalism actively developed. The main themes were feminism, as well as the activism of ethnic and social minorities.

A Brief History of Contemporary Art In the early 1980s, interest in representation, color and figurativeness began to grow again. By the middle of the century, campism, East Village art, and neo-pop flourished. The same period saw the flowering of photography in art. In the late 90s, audio and video technologies appeared, which also affected the art process. New technical means for artistic practices have appeared. A number of artists of the 2000s return to modernism, wanting to adapt it to the 21st century. Beyond the era of modernism, artistic movements have lost clear boundaries, and it is becoming more and more difficult to classify movements. This is one of the features of art of the last 30 years. Another feature is its social orientation, much more pronounced than in all previous eras.

History of modern art Contemporary art was formed at the turn of the 20s. The artistic quest of that time can be characterized as a search for alternatives to modernism. This was expressed in the search for new images, new means and materials of expression, up to the dematerialization of the object (performances and happenings). Many artists followed the French philosophers who proposed the term "postmodernism". It can be said that there has been a shift from object to process. modernism

Types of installations An installation can be characterized as a valuable symbolic decoration created at a certain time under a certain name. It is important that the viewer does not contemplate the installation from the outside, like a painting, but finds himself inside it. Some installations are close to sculpture, but differ from the latter in that they are not sculpted, but assembled from dissimilar materials, often of industrial origin.






Forest of multi-colored lace. Installation Pop-Up Paradises Kilograms and kilometers of multi-colored lace hanging from the ceiling of the Faena Arts Center gallery in Buenos Aires is an original art project by Argentine designer Manuel Ameztoy, who thus depicted natural landscapes and plant motifs that actually exist in province of Entre Rios, where he was born and spent his childhood.

Flowerbeds where cameras bloom The dream of a photographer is to come to a forest, a garden or a city park, a vegetable garden or a field, and collect there a rich harvest of lenses, cameras and flashes for every taste, color and size. In some ways, this idea was brought to life by the Brazilian artist Andre Feliciano in his colorful installation Camera Flowers, presented in the greenhouse of the New York photo village Photoville.


House-library from Miler Lagos - installation. Of course, in the original, the igloo is built from snow or ice blocks-bricks, but that’s what they’re rich in, as they say.

The Korean author probably possesses some kind of special magic, capable of controlling nature and forcing organic materials to play completely different roles, without, however, losing his face. So, in his works, stone always remains stone, wood - wood, sand - sand...

Happening is a theatrical performance with elements of improvisation, designed to involve the public in the performance itself and pursuing commercial goals. The main task of such a happening is to add variety to ordinary public relations procedures. A presentation or press conference takes on elements of a happening. Moreover, they can be completely transformed into a happening, or the happening can become part of them. The use of happenings as a method can be extremely broad, but the goal will always be the same - to stand out so that the target audience remembers the event. Presentation - press conference


Collage is a technical technique in the fine arts, which consists in creating works of art by gluing onto any base materials that differ from the base in color and texture.

Modern painting - body art. Beginning in the 1960s, body painting began to develop in the West, as part of a change in public morality towards greater freedoms.

Abstractionism (lat. abstractio - removal, distraction) is a direction of art that abandoned the depiction of forms close to reality in painting and sculpture.

Surrealism (French surréalisme - super-realism) is a direction in art, the distinctive feature of which is the depiction of the irrational world; recognizable objects are present in the paintings, but they look strange or in an unusual composition. Salvador Dali. Temptation of Saint Anthony

1.Modernism ( French modernisme, from moderne - the latest, modern) - the main direction of Western art of the 19th-20th centuries. In the theory of modernism reflection of reality is considered an outdated principle , giving way to its denial. In practice this is expressed in disappearance of fine art , replaceable system of signs , as free as possible from visual associations and determined by the artist himself. In poetry the word loses its meaning , acquiring new value as a factor of physical - acoustic - influence, in music the specificity of sound is destroyed, and atonal harmonies and various household noises , such basic concepts of musical aesthetics as melody, harmony, timbre, rhythm, etc. are transformed.

2. Abstract art- direction in the art of the 20th century, refusing to depict real objects and phenomena, manifested itself in painting, sculpture and graphics. The very term “abstractionism” indicates the alienation of this art from reality. Abstractionism formulated its positions in the 1910s as an anarchic challenge to public tastes; in the late 40s - early 60s, this direction belonged to the most widespread phenomena of Western culture.

In abstract art there are two main directions: psychological (e is considered the founder V. Kandinsky , who in his works managed to convey the lyricism and musicality of his intuitive insights. Here the main means of expressiveness are not the shape of the object and the features of space, but coloristic features of the latter) and geometric (or intellectual, logical). Its founder is the Dutch artist P. Mondrian, representing in their painting the relationships of planes painted in different ways.

Some movements of abstract art, following the line of development of this direction ( suprematism, neoplasticism), echoing the searches in architecture and the art industry, they created ordered structures from lines, geometric shapes and volumes, others (tachisme) - in line with the psychological trend - they sought to express the spontaneity, unconsciousness of creativity in the dynamics of spots or volumes. Talented representatives of abstract art (W. Kandinsky, K. Malevich, P. Mondrian, V. Tatlin) enriched the rhythmic dynamics of painting and enriched its palette, but solving global issues and existential problems that always face a person within the framework of abstractionism turned out to be impossible.



3. Surrealism. By the early 1920s, pre-war modernism had exhausted itself as a creative activity. In contrast to the modernism of the pre-war years, which suffered from its internal pain, new irrational movements - surrealism, Dadaism, expressionism - themselves strive to cause pain to people, instilling in them the idea that the whole world is fatally unhappy, incoherent and meaningless. Irrational tendencies arts were concentrated in surrealism, which arose as an artistic movement in European painting in 1925-26.

The most typical surrealist paintings were created by the Belgian R. Magritte and Catalan S. Dali. These paintings represent irrational combinations of purely objective fragments of reality, perceived in their natural form or paradoxically deformed. The feeling of whimsicality and surprise of the phenomena of this world gives rise in such art to the idea of ​​its unknowability, about the absurdity of existence , which appears to the artist in frighteningly nightmare or amusingly phantasmagoric guises. The theoretical basis for the new movement in artistic culture belongs to the French poet and psychiatrist André Breton . Creativity had a huge influence on the development of surrealism Z. Freud and him psychoanalysis concept , where the psyche is interpreted as subordinate to unknowable, irrational, eternal forces located outside of consciousness. The deep foundation of the psyche, influencing the real, conscious life of a person, according to S. Freud, becomes unconscious . And, in his opinion, the unconscious appears most directly in dreams and art, and it is in them that the true path to understanding the “natural essence” of man is revealed.

By the turn of the 20-30s. surrealism penetrated into the painting of other European countries - England, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, in the 30s. reached Latin America, Australia, Japan, showing himself not only in painting, but also in sculpture.

4. Pop art. The name pop art (from the English popular art - public art) was introduced L. Eloway in 1965. The movement itself arose in the 50s of the 20th century. in the USA and England. Initially, the role of pop art was limited to the task replacement of abstract art , never accepted by the broad masses of the population, into art understandable to the broad masses. Pop art declared itself new realism , since it was widely used real household items and their copies, photographs, dummies . Pop art idealized the world of material things, which, through the organization of a certain context of their perception, was endowed with artistic and aesthetic status. In pop art, a thing is aestheticized as consumer item , and the product becomes materialized dream of the consumer .

Among the varieties of pop art there are op art , characterized by the widespread use of optical effects, color spots, e-art with moving structures and environmental art with objects surrounding the viewer. However, the varieties of pop art do not differ from each other in meaning. This style is similar to the style display of goods on display or advertising. Pop art is ideal for the “man of the crowd,” consumer-oriented, brought up on advertising and mass communication.

Topic XI. Culture in the era of globalization

Stages of globalization.

First of all, it should be noted that globalization is a process that did not begin in recent decades, but has been unfolding for at least the last century.

· The first stage of globalization was the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. This was a phase of active expansion of trade and investment on a global scale. The theorists of the first wave of globalization were R. Cobden, J. Bright, N. Angel, who substantiated the idea that the main foreign policy antagonists England and Germany, who were also the main economic partners, would not participate in military conflicts with each other. However, the First World War the war refuted these predictions, and globalization as a process was interrupted.

· Second wave of globalization unfolded in the 70s, after two world wars and the Great Depression. Its main prerequisites were the revolution in computer science and telecommunications.

· The current stage of globalization. The conditions for its deployment were:

1. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the system of countries of the socialist camp, which led to a violation of the global parity of power.

2. Unfolding the information revolution and, which led to the formation of electronic economies, electronic financial structures, electronic money, electronic governments.

3. Strengthening the role of TNCs in the world economy by the end of the 20th century. The most powerful of which today control more than 90% of direct foreign investment in Western countries and almost 100% of investment in the economies of Third World countries.

4. Contributes to globalization processes activities of a number of international organizations and institutions(among them - the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO), which must support the new economic order that emerged in the post-war period and prevent the redistribution of resources and markets between those who are part of the group of leading countries and those who seek to free themselves from economic and political dependencies, using mechanisms of accelerated modernization.

5. And finally, this became obvious by the 90s the collapse of the project of modernity and the ideology of the Enlightenment and its degeneration the basic principle of rationalism into progressivism and technology. This leads today to environmental disasters, the destruction of both the natural space and the cultural space.
