I loved that little activity we did in class to help us understand what an “exquisite corpse” is. This type of artwork fascinated me; I have always been very excited about surrealist art and just how you transform your dreams/drug-induced hallucinations on to paper. It is unbelievable to see how history is tied into art and how art in turn mirrors the times. I really enjoyed seeing The Bauhaus School of Design and the integration of function and beauty. The influence of Nazi power impacted art completely, as the artists fled Germany they brought new waves of ideas to the United States. We can see remnants of this style architecture in current art. Hearing of the frustrated culture of the Beats was very intriguing. I really liked how William Burrow phrased his art as a “happy accident” his cut ups were original and a funny manipulation of what already is.
