Manifesto As Art
[ send me this paper ]
In the art world there have been many movements that have aligned themselves with particular philosophies and, or, methods of interpretation for their art. Among these movements are the futurists, the Dada and the (early) surrealist movements that have distinguished themselves with providing a manifesto of their intentions and beliefs. This 6 page paper argues that manifestoes are, in and of themselves, art objects that transcend the merely didactic and enter into the realm of poetry or visual art, as well as providing arguments for their beliefs. The Dadaist Manifesto by Tristan Tzara, Andre Breton's The Manifesto of Surrealism and F. T. Marinetti's, Foundation and Manifesto of Futurism are used as examples. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Matisse And Fauvism
[ send me this paper ]
In the world of art, the 'color wheel' can be seen to have been invented by the Fauvist Movement and Henri Matisse in particular. This seemingly outlandish statement is based on the idea that the Fauvist of the first decade in the twentieth century were intrepid travelers into roads never traveled. They sought to bring meaning through the use of color in a manner that was as innovative to the art patrons of the day as the wheel must have been to the farmers who needed a way to get their produce to market. This 13 page paper explores the Fauvist Movement and focuses on Henri Matisse. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
