	Canadian Painters as Art Educators 1920-1950
		Art must include in its study of nature the whole universe if it is to envisage some aspect of the universal truth and help humanity to become conscious of the meaning of life.
		As previously noted, art education in the studio is not the only way that an understanding of art may be generated; several notable artists of this era also took to writing as a means of explaining their own work and influencing public awareness and taste.
		As successful works of art these images are certainly to be celebrated for their vision and skill, but as successful works of art created by individuals who contributed substantially to the history of art education in Canada, these images should also be celebrated for the inspiration they provided generations that followed.

	Optical Art: Artists and their Works
		Optical Art is a mathematically-themed form of Abstract art, which uses repetition of simple forms and colors to create vibrating effects, moiré patterns, foreground-background confusion, an exaggerated sense of depth, and other visual effects.
		With Optical Art, the rules that the viewer's eye uses to try to make sense of a visual image are themselves the "subject" of the artwork.
		In the 1960's, the term "Op Art" was coined to describe the work of a growing group of abstract painters.

	China: 5,000 Years - The Modernist Generations Intro
		The extraordinary pluralism of the Chinese art world in the 1930s, and the cosmopolitan dreams that accompanied it, were shattered by the outbreak of the Pacific war, which forced many artists into an eight-year exile in China's impoverished interior, and threatened the very existence of their nation.
		The impulse toward modernity in Chinese art was as multi-faceted as the society from which it sprang.
		The modern Chinese woodcut is a form of art that, from its inception, fully synthesized the cosmopolitan aspirations of its practitioners with the particularities of their Chinese situation.

		Funding projects at Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Kennedy Center were scotched, by lack of public or congressional support.

		The presented piece of Scandinavian art history (in a form of mainly paintings, several sculptures and two short films) was controversial then and is exciting and titillating now.
		Art capitalising on free flowing dreams and sub consciousness started appearing at the shows of the early 1930-ties.
		Scandinavian Surrealism blended with Abstract art, Expressionism and other Avant-garde trends of the time, producing a condensed example of modern art, which lived and gave impulses to the later styles by touching several aesthetic programs at the same time.

		This is the second in a four-part series of exhibitions surveying design in the 20th century through the presentation of significant objects in all media by major European modernist designers, drawn from the Museum's collection.
		While the luxurious and sensual aesthetic of Art Deco reigned in France during the late 1920s and 1930s, avant-garde German design of the same period presented an ethical and polemical antithesis.
		Though enormously influential, the severity of their uncompromising work was soon challenged by the softer lines and natural materials of Scandinavian design from the 1930s by such designers as Alvar Aalto and Bruno Mathsson.

	The Human Factor: Figuration in American Art, 1950 - 1995
		However in the development of modern art, the image of man has been transformed, distorted, and has almost disappeared as a subject in much of the most important artistic expression of the period.
		This selection of paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings are from the extensive collections of the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
		Stylistically these fifty works trace the recurring human imagery in contemporary art from the painterly tradition of Alice Neel's portraiture to Fairfield Porter's domestic interiors, to the studio nudes of Philip Pearlstein, to Bay area figuration of David Park, Richard Diebenkorn, and Manuel Neri.
