Brooke Tillman, Pechakucha Assignment, Week 2

Highlights I wrote down this week:

  • Art became commodity
  • L'Art Pour L'Art - a movement against the idea that art has to have meaning
    • What makes art art?
    • Art does not have to have moral or didactic purpose
  • Romanticism in Visual Art-- individuality over dogma
  • Realism in Visual Art -- unidealized, revolutionary, and grotesque paintings and works, a response to photography
  • Courbet offered new representation of underrepresented classes
  • Realism in Theater -- 
    • aims to bring real life to text
    • has believable dialogue
    • common everyday setting
    • protagonist rises up against injustice
    • focuses on human behavior
  • Paris Commune -- overthrew government, stole canons
  • Industrial Revolution -- 
    • manufacturing begins
    • children underpaid for dangerous jobs
    • labor movements
    • start of unions


Questions I Had This Week:

  • How was Smith's idea of "capitalism" received upon the release of his book?
  • Why was the L'Art Pour L'Art movement created?
  • What was the Church's reactions to Romanticism?
  • What caused the shift in value of seeing over hearing that came with Romanticism? Was this change beneficial to the general public?
  • Did Courbet consider his art a political action?
