MODERN ERA SYNTHESIS
As our research helped us see the Modern era in a different perspective, we noticed many tactics people used to get their point across. Rembrandt and Picasso used art, as Hitler and MLK used words or actions. During the Modern era people had changed their point of view changed from the Edwardian era to a state of mind on how people should live and have control over themselves. Since in Rembrandt's work he should problems deeply, he gave the world a new look in art. The same goes with Picasso's cubism. Since the Modern era took place in hard time where war was strong and emotional powerful, life was explained through art since television was not so popular. What Rembrandt did with his etchings and paintings are what helped him shape his experiences and the experiences of others. Picasso depended on neutral tones and monochromatic sets which gave him a style that explained tragedies during the era.

We truly agree with your statement that life was lived through art. We believe that because art has the possibility to transform and inspire the common man and is completely different than written text or speech. Art communicates the most intimate and personal emotions of the artist while also capturing the viewer in a unique way. We also found the differences between science and religion to be quite fascinating.
ReplyDeleteScience and religion were completely at odds throughout the modern era. There was the Supreme Court's banning of religion in public schools during the 1940's which was a completely new and revolutionary concept. This marked the beginning of the separation of church and state.
This is some of the information that we saw that helped us better understand the modern era.
