In this module, we looked at how 20th-century art was largely about awareness. Art refected a culture that had become more aware of itself, aware of the critic, aware of the global nature of the world, and aware of man’s atrocities. Many artists also become aware of art produced in Non-Western places like Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Let’s look at how those influences manifested in Western Art.
• Investigate an artwork or artist whose work exhibits the influence of African, Asian, or Oceania Art or Culture.
• Post an image of the work and write a 300-word essay on the following.
–How was the artist influenced by Non-Western art?
–Talk about the specific aspects of their artworks where you can readily see the Non-Western influences.
–How was this art received and perceived at the time it was created? How do we view it now? Can you site contemporary influences that came from this art?
