imaginative work” that helped shape what the artists create in combination with their subjective representation of that material. A standout lyric from the aforementioned song was “Joseph Campbell and The Rolling Stones couldn’t give me a myth so I had to write my own…I never liked the name Joshua, I got tired of J”. This lyric clarifies what inspired him to create a new character that surrounds his intrinsic desires and archetypes projected through Father John Misty. Writer Joseph Campbell believes that works of popular culture reflect our personal meaning, essence, values, and beliefs. The artists’ works can cause feelings of personal identification to the material itself, as they recognize pieces relating to their own journey. Tillman struggled to achieve the same level of depth within his music via his own identity. Therefore, by creating a myth to mask his true self, he …show more content…

He constructed a feminine, eccentric character focused on using his front to transmit his values and beliefs. The postmodern artist focuses on the artificial construction of this image that can continuously change. Therefore, the individual identity blurs the lines between the image it created and reality, with reality often disappearing completely. This existential concern can damage the self, as artists become whatever world they choose, and their subjectivity is altered until they either change their image again or rid themselves of chains surrounding their ambivalence. Tillman is not the first to do this; he draws influence from earlier artists, such as Madonna and David Bowie who created characters for themselves to express a certain theme of paradigms they could translate to audiences. This is what William’s theory of the documentary concludes, which involves the artists taking note on popular art from the past and changing it to align with their

    In his hole he says “there is a certain acoustical deadness in my hole, and when I have music I want to feel its vibrations, not only in my ear but with my whole body” (Ellison 7). In his hole, he is lifeless and meaningless, but music makes him feel alive. The meaning of music makes him feel less invisible. He understands the history and importance of the music and “not only entered the music but descended, like Dante, into the depths” (Ellison 9). Like Dante’s Inferno he goes deeper into the music and finds the meaning.

    My considered response is on the poem, “Did I Miss Anything?” by Tom Wayman. This poem is about a teacher that is answering the question, “did I miss anything”. The teacher does answer the question; however they do it in a roundabout, overly sarcastic and exaggerated manner. The teacher shifts from saying they did nothing while the student was absent to saying that they did everything in the next stanza. In my considered response I will explain the poetic devices I found in the poem.

  • Photographic Activity Of Postmodernism

    2068 Words  | 9 Pages

    He explores the links between Dadaism, Surrealism and postmodernism; all in which photography is a medium heavily used. We see influences from famous Dadaist and Surrealist photographers such as Man Ray, Alfred Steiglitz, Marcel Duchamp and Brassai - indeed, some of these photographers overlap into postmodernism; for example, Alfred Steiglitz’s photographs of Marcel Duchamp’s “Fountain” is a prime example of this. Sherrie Levine went on to appropriate Marcel Duchamp’s readymades. Whilst Dadaism was a political movement, and Surrealism a philosophical movement, both centred on deconstruction and re-representation - just like postmodernism. Foster goes through an explanation of modernism in order to be able to define postmodernism, and how postmodernism is a natural evolution: artists must move on from traditional methods of expression in order to continue making challenging works.

  • The Ontology Of The Photographic Image Analysis

    1223 Words  | 5 Pages

    According to Bazin, today no one recognizes the ontological link between the body and a representation: “No one believes any longer in the ontological identity of model and image, but all are agreed that the image helps us to remember the subject and to preserve him from a second spiritual death”. The need for survival after death is no longer a concern for the arts, instead, now the focus is on “the creation of an ideal world in the likeness of the real, with its own temporal identify.” Today the plastic arts aim to create a virtual world that is near the realms of realism and has nothing to do with life and afterlife. This explains why photography and cinema caused “the great spiritual and technological crisis that overtook modern painting” in the 1850s.

    Isabel Herrera Mrs. Keys AP Lang and Comp April 6, 2023 The Art Of Music Shifting Identity Through Lives The Oxford language defines identity as "the fact of being who or what a person or thing is" However, to me, it means much more than that. When the word identity comes to mind, we typically think of what one looks like, whom they surround themselves with, how they dress, or their culture. The word itself has many meanings as its interpretation is subjective and is determined by what an individual surrounds themselves with and what they believe to be true about themselves.

  • Music Of The Swamp Analysis

    Some have coined music as a universal language. Perhaps, the complexity of the notes, the consistency of the beat, the array of instruments, or the flow of lyricism offers this universal appeal. Nevertheless, the unique composition of each song enables it to sustain its own magnetic aura, much like the musical implication in Lewis Nordans Music of the Swamp. Though, many argue Nordans piece suggests merely a collection of short stories rather than a novel, Nordan uses his singsong methodology- a novel-in-stories- to incorporate an anthology of his transformative memory- an autobiography of the way it was.

  • Vincent Van Gogh Identity Essay

    922 Words  | 4 Pages

    “Identity would seem to be arrived at by the way in which the person faces and uses his experiences” was said by James Baldwin. This quote helps convey the idea of identity in art. When someone creates a piece that holds or portrays an aspect of identity, the artwork may symbolically represent many experiences that occurred to the artist, whether that may be positive or negative. The work may also visually depict personal problems, for example the Post-Impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh when he painted his tumult life. Van Gogh used not only his personal experiences of failing at so many careers and unfortunate events in his life, but also his use of alcohol, tobacco and his depression and his possible acute intermittent porphyria to create his swirling, colourful pieces.

    Subsequently, they take these once-private concepts and put them on display for all to see. The audience of their art is strengthened and revitalized in a variety of measures: anything from a feeling of solidarity where they once felt alone, to gaining a new philosophy that guides them through their lives. The unfortunate and unintended consequence of putting all of oneself into their work, however, is watching their personal life deteriorate as they borrow more and more from this private world, leaving little to keep for their personal self. In Jorge Luis Borges’ short essay “Borges and I,” this tormentation that the artist endures at their own hand is explored in depth.

    Every stage of art history reflects its time, necessities, culture, society, politics and people. In the early twentieth century, art started to change its nature. Gradually it became alive, sensitive and reflective and art acquired the ability to shout, scream, cry, bleed and die. Art started to participate, to ask and provoke in the viewer action and reaction. Art stopped being a mute object on the wall and started to demand in active relationship with its audience.

    And those photographers were influenced by the history of painting; they develop their works freely. Schwabsky wrote in the essay. “ A polemic today’s painters no longer seem to feel called upon to make decisions of the image-realm over some other reality. Instead, they feel that everything has to be a matter of images.” However, he also mentioned, “It was photography taught us the modern idea of the image, it is painting that allows us to internalize it.

Moreover, since postmodern thinking investigates the social role of representation, the arists started to underline its ambiguity among the consumer society, revealing on one hand the rapid and inevitable separation between image and reality, on the other taking distance from one of the fundaments assigned to the artwork: the creative originality. ‘everything can be collected and re-used in another context, everything is on the same level, on an absolute surface that does not entail either ‘out’ or ‘depth’ underlines Elio Grazioli.
