  Exhibitions - POLISH ART 1955-1985
Polish art of the post World War II decade–marked by postwar trauma, stagnation, isolation, and a desperate attempt to define its new language–from 1949 to 1954 was trapped by the rigorous premises of the officially imposed socialist realism, which vanished almost immediately after Stalin's death.
Others explored different tendencies, which manifested itself in a variety of forms, ranging from a synthetic vision expressed in strictly geometric shapes, through analyses of the cognitive potential of the human mind, to reflections on the relationships between structures existing in nature and elements of the civilized world.
Most of the truly innovative forms of expression in Polish art between 1955 and 1985 were born on the borderline of different branches of art, or art and other human activities.

 Dissectional Art
Embuscado begins his art with a reality of life, and for that matter, history without end, In this regard, as far as cultural and historical sovereignty are concerned, Embuscado nationalistically considered himself as a Malayuan born artist.
Embuscado said that "American art, in particular and global art in general, may not be exactly alike, but the true foundation of art and culture lies in the civilized or uncivilized world where everything directly appeared in common because they are compartmentally structured." Embuscado's "compartmental art" exemplifies this generality.
Embuscado's "declaration" was characterized by a communal human intercourse, and a dissectional beginning toward the unity of the ethnic (cultural and art) diversity.

  The Paintings of Chen Chong Swee (1910-1985) - Pioneer Art Master of Singapore   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Sabapathy sees the impetus of the Nanyang Style, the first art movement in Singapore in which Chen was among the key pioneer artists, as a cross-fertilisation between the Chinese painting traditions (the "scroll") and the School of Paris (the "easel").
Whereas the aesthetic ideal of Chinese art based on the Six Principles would always remain constant, Chen’s proclamation on the communicative function of art, on the other hand, was based on a concept of art historical evolution.
Chen saw (1947) the visual arts in the feudal society as a plaything of the ruling classes and the socially privileged literati.

 ArtLex on Art
At least art involves a degree of human involvement — through manual skills or thought — as with the word "artificial," meaning made by humans instead of by nature.
Early in the twentieth century, for instance, artists expanded the definition of art to include such things as abstraction, collage, and readymades.
Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists.

Hasta 1918 compagina estos estudios con los de bachillerato; ese año se instala en París, movido por su deseo de escapar de la autoridad de su padre y de profundizar en su formación artística.
Comienza así a manifestar una actitud rebelde y un rechazo al arte tradicional que le acercará a la plástica de los enfermos mentales ya artistas como Femand Léger, André Masson o Juan Gris.
Con motivo de la exposición de su colección de este tipo de obras, celebrada en 1949, Dubuffet publicará uno de sus textos fundamentales, cuyo título, Más vale arte bruto que las artes culturales, es revelador de las preocupaciones del artista.

 Guerrilla Girls and Politics in the Art World, 1985-1995, Introduction
Indeed, because the inclusive and pluralist spirit of the Women's Art Movement disrupted the commercial economy of art, art dealers in the early 1980s led collectors toward a new group of young male artists.
Of the 169 artists chosen, all were white and less than 10 percent were women.[4] As the decade of 1970s activism gave way to the complacency and careerism of the 1980s, the art world needed a gendered conscience.
In 2001 they received the "Art is a Hammer Award" from the Center for the Study of Political Graphics in California, which printed a silkscreened edition of the popular movie poster.
