Class March 11, 2009

Victoria presented Pictorial Modernism, it was the move towards simplicity.  Poster artists used bold colors and flat images. The father of Pictorial Modernism is Lucian Bernhard. Posters became propaganda pieces. She talked about the Dada movement, Early Modernism, and Man Ray. In class we talked about  the differences between Central Powers and the Allies propaganda posters. We then split into groups and had to decide what a poster would look like today.

I found it interesting that Dada artists put the word Dada on their art.

Why did Man Ray change his name?
