Art was not always displayed in nicely clean galleries in museums. They were part of a societies history, everyday life, and a decoration in someone’s home. It was not consider this art piece we see today blocked off my tape or rope saying “do not touch”. Galleries have paintings that filled entire wall space to “create a lively decorative scheme.” Now they are the museums we know now that preserve art.
What does it mean to be “modern?”
Well truthfully I still don’t know after reading descriptions and books about modern art. I feel that everything was modern at a point so how can we describe a certain type as being modern. Modern is seen in abstraction art and even in our society with advertising and television.
These are my thoughts after reading "Believing is Seeing" by Mary Anne Staniszewski
