	Graffiti Wars
		Placed in their historic context, the great graffiti wars of the late 20th century illustrate the relativity of judgments of deviance and diversity, and how the dynamic interaction between the participants of different subcultures, each with their own agenda and resources, produce the perceived reality of these conflicts.
		Relativity emphasizes the parts power and politics play in establishing the dominance of one subculture over others and thereby establishing the agenda of the dominant or official culture, that unique subculture against which all other subcultures are evaluated and subordinated.
		Instead, the marks are incorporated into the story as part of a series of events that make up the history of these pieces of art and that part of the world.

	20th Century Music
		However, art music is not limited to music in a classical vein, and I think the 20th century witnessed the rise of several genres from folk music into something approaching art music (for a fascinating exploration of this process, see the chapter "Folk Art and Fine Art" in Albert Murray's book
		Jazz reached its compositional apex with the music of Duke Ellington, who I think is the composer of the 20th century (although Jelly Roll Morton and Thelonius Monk also made strong contributions to jazz composition).
		While I agree that much "classical" music composed in the 20th century was junk, there are, naturally, exceptions.

	Paul Williams' 20th Century's Greatest Hits
		In the history of art, the 20th century is the first time it was possible to create an enduring art object, like a painting on canvas, out of recorded sounds.
		Every entry in this book, and every one on your own alternate list of great hits of the century, is a window onto a glorious chain of history, history of art, history of consciousness.
		Howlin' Wolf's vocal style, though inimitably his own, was primarily influenced and inspired by the singing of the great blues pioneer Charley Patton (whom Wolf met and learned from on the Dockery Plantation when he was 18 and Patton 31) and secondarily by the yodeling of another great 20th century American singer, Jimmie Rodgers.

	20th-century English literature - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about 20th-century English literature
		The century was a period of great artistic change, and is dominated by the impact of World War I (1914–18) and World War II (1939–45), as well as by the artistic concerns of modernism (which affected both themes and methods of writing).
		This indicates the questioning nature of the 20th century, which began by doubting the principles on which the Victorians had based their social code, leading to uncertainty and complexity.

	Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Music of the 20th Century
		Music in the twentieth century, then, does not draw on one central and contemporary tradition to the exclusion of foreign influence, but, rather, makes use of many much more individualistic origins and inspirations as its "tradition".
		From the investigations of folk music, world music and other non-western artistic traditions came the realisation that western culture was but one way of looking at culture and art, even high art.
		The German music critic and sociologist, Theodor Adorno (1903-1969), expressed Ives' frustration in a more formal manner: he developed the concept of 'negative dilectic', which, as far as music was concerned, meant that music must be difficult because the undemanding acted as a mass sedative, encouraging people not to think.

		These are all creations I believe are worthy to be on a list of, or in a collection of, great artistic works (achievements) of the 20th century.

	TWENTIETH CENTURY LITERATURE
		Literature noticeably depended on the general political-ideological changes, which were often sharp and sudden, but which decade after decade lost their strength, and thus the art of literature was able to continue its independent development.
		In the transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, Serbian literature took on all the basic characteristics of a modern national literature.
		It is obvious that Serbian literature - in tandem with the leading literature in the other Slavic languages: Russian, Polish and Czech - is simultaneously participating in the literary life of Europe, and in the general development of the art of literature.

	TWENTIETH CENTURY LITERATURE
		In the transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, Serbian literature took on all the basic characteristics of a modern national literature.
		As early as the 1950s, during the second half of the century, the increased interest in Serbian writers, their ever greater presence in translation, the feedback which their works provoke among foreign readers and students of literature, have all indisputably transformed the old picture.

	20th-century philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 20th century brought with it upheavals that produced a series of conflicting developments within philosophy over the basis of knowledge and the validity of various absolutes.
		With classical certainties thought to be overthrown, and new social, economic, scientific, ethical, and logical problems, 20th-century philosophy was set for a series of attempts variously to reform, preserve, alter, abolish, previously conceived limits.
		Philosophy of science, philosophy of mathematics, and epistemology furthered seemingly antagonistic tendencies in accounting for consciousness and its objects, as expressed in the profound differences between analytic philosophy and phenomenology, both of which had foundations in place at the beginning of the century.
