| | Primitivism (art) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It was with the rise of Modern art that primitivism gained a greater presence: in the context of the Modern, the "primitive" represented the libido, the "id" of psychoanalysis, as well as the unblemished and unrestrained sexuality associated with primitive tribes. | | | Primitivism is an artistic movement that looks to early human history and non-Western or children's art for inspiration and makes use of themes or stylistic elements from | | | Many features of primitivism's origin can be traced to the sense of superiority that Europeans felt towards those that they had only recently conquered, and at the same time the insecurities prevalent about their own culture, and its potential to fall into a "degenerate" state. |

| | Forgery in art, the fabrication of an art object with intent to deceive a purchaser as to its true origin, is as ancient as the practice of collecting. | | | The earliest records of forgery date from classical Rome, where a demand for early Greek art became prevalent and sculptors signed their statues with the names of the celebrated Greek artists Phidias and Praxiteles in order to dupe collectors. | | | Every kind of art has inspired spurious reproductions, and the history of forgery reflects changes in taste, since the forger supplies a demand for coveted objects and follows the preferences of the time. |

| | During the Baroque period, this concern with the essence of life is to be found even in works by the more mundane artists. | | | The Baroque approach to the Pietà centered on the theme's dramatic essence, as beautifully illustrated in the work of Andriaen van der Werff, a painter who, notwithstanding his Flemish origin, made a career for himself in Italy. | | | Although renowned in particular for his bright colors and the elegance of his compositions, here Reni nevertheless sought to rein in the methods of his art the better to convey the intrinsic nature of this father-Child dialogue. |

| | Dastgah1 Persian Art Music |
| | It is far more realistic to consider the history of traditional music in terms of an alternation of peaks together with periods of gestation during which art and taste were remodeled through the contact with different cultures as well as historical clashes, thereby giving birth to new forms. | | | Although the Persians have assiduously nurtured their music from its origin to the present day, no claims can be made as to its generic continuity, or even the consistent evolution of its forms, styles or musical techniques. | | | However, in the XIXth century art music began to distinguish itself more and more from light music (Motrebi). |

| | Emperor Song Huizong's Ideal in Qingming Shanghe Tu: |
| | Considering the tumultuous end of the Song dynasty, and the scarcity of surviving records from that time, historians, art critics, and connoisseurs have since argued about the identity of the Qingming scroll's creator, the date and location of origin, the intended meaning of the work, and even whether or not the scroll is authentic. | | | The 12th-century art critic Deng Chun wrote that if a painter failed to follow instructions, he could be accused of being "not in accordance with the ruler," and as a consequence would not be promoted to any higher position (Bush and Shih, 135-136). | | | This is a paradox of art, because the imagery of the Qingming scroll is presumably a highly idealized vision of the society, and to that degree is inherently artificial. |

| | Although Celtic art was influenced by ancient Persian, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman art and by that of the nomads of the Eurasian steppes, it developed distinctive characteristics. | | | During the period of Roman domination of Western Europe in and after the 1st century BCE, the art of Celtic peoples on the Continent gradually lost its distinctive style. | | | Examples of Celtic art include torcs, or neck rings, with the two open ends ornamented with animal heads; the silver repoussé Gundestorp cauldron (circa 100BCE, National Museum, Copenhagen); a bronze lozenge-shaped shield with circular medallions and small enamel circles (1st century BCE-1st century CE); and a bronze mirror with enameled decoration (1st century BCE). |

| | Sound Poetry as an art form might origin in the need for a kind of psychoanalytic regression into pre-language, base-biological, pre-conscious sound experiences down in the soil out of which language and its flashing, glistening symbolism grow, only to, for the most part, stiffen in habits and conventions. | | | Sound Poetry – the most exclusive of exclusive art forms – has through the decades been belched out of a number of exceptional, tobacco saturated organs of speech, who have been slurping and chewing the phonetic candies of language, spitting them out in cascades of consonant staccatos and pleasure-seeking vocal eroticisms. | | | There is much to be said about sound poetry as a whole, and there are many worthy “contemporary” representatives of this obscure sound art, like François Dufrêne, Bernard Heidsieck, Henri Chopin, Gerhard Rühm, Ilmar Laaban, Arrigo Lora-Totino, Franz Mon and Ernst Jandl, to mention but a few. |
