I designed my bowl on Egypt about all the Egyptian symbols and put jewels for decoration because when I think of Egyptians I think of glamouring designs and things they wore.

29: Modernism in Europe and America, 1900 to 1945
Preview: The
period in art between 1900 and 1945 in Europe and America was intense and
marked by international exchange due to the onset of two world wars. In the
early part of the century, Pablo Picasso’s Cubism and German Expressionism
represented radical new ways of representing reality. Futurists in Italy
captured the dynamism and movement of modern life, while Dadaists across Europe
and in the U.S. traded in obscure, nonsensical protests against rational
society. In 1913, the Armory Show in New York introduced American audiences to
European modern art. The Harlem Renaissance saw African American artists
embrace modernist expressions, and under the direction of Alfred Stieglitz,
American photography defines a distinctive style. In Europe, the Neue
Sachlichkeit movement developed in Germany as a reaction to World War I. The
1920s saw the emergence of Surrealism, Russian Constructivism, and the Bauhaus
in Germany, which promoted the idea of “total architecture” and the integration
of arts. Between 1930 and 1945, Mexican artists Orozco and Rivera painted
murals thematizing Mexico’s history, while Frida Kahlo explored
autobiographical, psychological themes. In the mid-20th century,
Frank Lloyd Wright was recognized as the leading architect in the U.S., and his
expressive, daring structures continue to inspire architects.

Fom 1870 to 1900 saw intense artistic experimentation and development,
particularly in France. The Impressionists, a group that included Claude Monet,
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Berthe Morisot and others, held their first
group exhibition in 1874, showing many works that had been painted en plein air (outdoors) and that
captured scenes of contemporary urban life. “Post-Impressionism” is term
extended to artists such as Georges Seurat, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and
Paul Cézenne, who developed beyond the sketch-like quality of Impressionism and
explored the structure of painted form or the emotions wrought by color. French
Symbolists, including Gustave Moreau, Odilon Redon, and Henri Rousseau, painted
subjective scenes that transcended the everyday world and were often dreamlike
and sensuous. The leading sculptor of this era was Auguste Rodin, who explored
the representation of movement and energy in bronze and marble. Rodin often
sculpted fragmented forms that had immense influence on later modern sculptors.
Architectural developments in this period varied: the Arts and Crafts and Art
Nouveau movements opposed modern mass production and embraced natural forms;
the Eiffel Tower’s exposed iron skeleton represented the possibilities for new
architectural expressions; and in the U.S., Louis Sullivan integrated organic
form and the metal frame to become a pioneer in skyscraper design.
