An Annotated Bibliography of American Art and Artists: 1900-1950
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page annotated bibliography summarizing ten articles discussing American art and artists in from 1900-1950. A literature review of American art and artists spanning the first half of the 20th century generally falls within two areas of study: the influence of the international market and perception on American art primarily based in New York; and, the important movement of the African American artists which were promoted and funded for the first time in the first half of the 20th century. Generally, according to art historians and critics, American art during the first half of the 20th century is almost disregarded while the pop and commercial movements in the second half of the 20th century are highlighted in most European exhibitions. Also from an international perspective, very little regard is made in the way of the contribution of women and minority artists; an oversight which is slowly being resolved in recent years. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Architectural and Spatial Comparisons Found in Rietveld’s “Schroder House”, Katsura Palace, and the Work of Mondrian
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing spatial design used by Rietveld, Mondrian and Kobori Enshu. Architect, artist and designer Gerrit Rietveld was part of an art movement in the Netherlands in the 1920s called “De Stijl” (The Style). One of the movement’s co-founders was artist Piet Mondrian, also from the Netherlands, whose work such as “Composition in Red, Yellow and Blue” emphasized the use of universalism, geometric forms and primary colors in addition to black and white in the creation of space. While Mondrian was primarily concerned with how his two-dimensional paintings could expand to include the interior environment which surrounded them within a room, Rietveld took the ideas proposed by the De Stijl movement into the architectural designs of homes. One of the best examples of Rietveld’s designs is found in Schroder House (1924) in Utrecht in which the use of creating space using geometric shapes, planes, primary colors and movement of walls is applied. Rietveld allows for the light from the outside to come into the house adding to the creation of space through the play of light on the walls and floors which have minimal decoration and are sparsely furnished to allow for an expansive creative space. The idea of universalism and geometric space to allow for the creation of space is not unique in architectural design and can be found as far back as the 1600s in Kobori Enshu’s design of the Katsura Palace in Kyoto which applied the creation of space with the tatami module design also using moveable walls and walls which opened to the environment for flexibility in space.
