Artistic revolution From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Throughout history, forms of  art have gone through periodic abrupt changes called artistic revolutions. Movements have come to an end to be replaced by a new movement marked ly different in striking ways. See also cultural movements. Artistic revolution and cultural/political revolutions The role of  fine art has been to simultaneously express values of the current culture while also offering criticism, balance, or alternatives to any such values that are proving no longer useful. So as times change, art changes. If changes were abrupt they were deemed revolutions. The best artists have predated society's changes due not to any prescience, but because sensitive perceptivity is part of their 'talent' of seeing. Artists have had to 'see' issues clearly in order to satisfy their current clients, yet not offend potential patrons. For example, paintings glorified aristocracy in the early 17th century when leadership was needed to nationalize small political groupings, but later as leadership became oppressive, satirization increased and subjects were less concerned with leaders and more with more common plights of mankind. In its origins and its first golden age, no art owes quite as much to state power as French painting does. It was in the age of absolute monarchy launched by Louix XIV in the 17th century that the likes of Poussin and Le Brun put France in the forefront of European art. Versailles found its stately mirror in the powerful idea of classicism   a painting style, enduring in later artists like Ingres, whose austerity and grandeur express the authority of a world where Jove is very much in his throne. Examples of revolutionary art in conjunction with cultural/political movements:  Trotskyist & Diego Rivera  Black Panther Party & Emory Douglas  Cuban Poster art  Social realism & Ben Shahn  Feminist art & the Guerrilla Girls  Industrial Workers of the World & Woody Guthrie  Revolutionary Tides Artistic revolution of style But not all artistic revolutions were political. Revolutions of style have also abruptly changed the art of a culture. For example, when the careful, even tedious, art techniques of French neo-classicism became oppressive to artists living in more exuberant times, a stylistic revolution known as "Impressionism"  vitalized brush strokes and color. Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pierre-Augus te Renoir burst onto the French culture, effecting a revolution with a style that has become commonplace today. An artistic revolution can be begun by a single artist, but unless that artist gains some understanding, he becomes an iconoclast. The first Abstract Expressionists were considered madmen to give up their brushes and rely on the sheer force of energy to leave an image, but then the import of atomic bombs, all atomic energy, became realized, and art found no better way of expressing its power. Jackson Pollock is the artist best known for starting that revolution.
