History Questions
1. Abstract
Expressionism is one of the most male-dominated and mythologized art movements
of the second half of the 20th century. Your book includes Lee Krasner
and Joan Mitchell. Why do you think they are only now receiving critical
attention and were not seen as important as their male peers at the time of
their life?
The two main art critics that promoted the New York School were Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg. There are excerpts from Greenberg in your text. Research the two critics and briefly summarize their perspectives on art. How are they similar and how are they different? (Points : 10)

2. What are the major distinguishing characteristics of post
war European art? Almost the entire chapter focuses on American and
particularly New York artists. Why do you think this change occurred
and what important contributions did the European artists make? (Points : 10)

3. Geometric
abstraction has been used by many artists in this chapter for different
ends. Weigh in on the importance of simplified geometry and how this form
results in so many different contents. For instance, David Smith, Louise
Nevelson, Donald Judd and Frank Stella all employed basic geometry as part of
their artistic form with entirely separate ideologies and goals (Points : 10)
4. New Media-
Post war America saw an explosion of possible materials for art
Making. Dripped, paint, installations, theatrical performances, used
tires, light, video, and the earth itself. What do you think the single
most radical use of materials was? and why? Research the web and find an
artist that is still living today who is using that material and relate them to
the artist in the book. (Points : 10)
5. Gender
and identity as subject in art becomes a major topic for many artists, even
creating a term: feminist art. This term became universally applied to
any female artist that took on a subject related to subject matter of women,
femininity, or gendered mediums like fabric and fiber. Should we then
consider art that has been made throughout history for men such as objectified
female nudes, war and portraits of kings Masculinist art? Interestingly,
the book places Bourgeois, De Saint-Phalle, and Flack, all of whom make art
that comments on gender and identity outside of the feminist label. What
happens to art when it is categorized as feminist? (Points : 10)
