		The trend in art was also towards greater idealism, which is contrary to realism, in that the figures depicted were made simpler and more abstract--idealized--in order to be able to represent the Ideals they stood in for.
		During the reign of Academic art, the paintings of the Rococo era, previously held in low favor, were revived to popularity, and themes often used in Rococo art, such as Eros and Psyche, were popular again.
		Academic art was first criticised for its use of idealism, by Realist artists such as Gustave Courbet, as being based on clichés and representing fantasies and tales of ancient myth while real social concerns were being ignored.

	Eclecticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eclecticism is a conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm or set of assumptions, but instead draws upon multiple theories, styles, or ideas to gain complementary insights into a subject, or applies different theories in particular cases.
		In some ways Eclecticism is reminiscent of Mannerism in that the term was used pejoratively for much of the period of its currency, although, unlike Mannerism, Eclecticism never amounted to a movement or constituted a specific style: it is characterized precisely by the fact that it was not a particular style.
		Eclecticism is recognized in approaches to psychology that see many factors influencing behaviour and the psyche, and among those who consider all perspectives in identifying, changing, explaining, and determining behaviour.

		Eclecticism is a kind of mixed style in the fine arts: "the borrowing of a variety of styles from different sources and combining them" (Hume 2003, p.5).
		The term eclectic was first used by Johann Joachim Winckelmann to characterize the art of the Carracci, who incorporated in their paintings elements from the Renaissance and classical traditions.
		Eclecticism was an important concept in Western architecture during the mid and late 19th century, and it reappeared in a new guise in the latter part of the 20th century.

		Eclecticism in painting derives the strongest creative principles from a close visual study of nature, and imposes these principles upon its artists, making strong formal judgments and selections about what makes something aesthetically alive and why.
		Eclecticism is also another word for the artistic dialogue that decides what is a most vital addition to our previously accepted painting culture, and what is not.
		Art grows and evolves by practice, and is as destined for growth as the principles which underlie its design will allow.

		But rather, the art in this exhibition is an exploration into the spiritual through the use of symbol and metaphor; its very object is to use subliminal imagery in an unexpected way to challenge the viewer and involve mental participation.
		But in the visual arts, the use of imagery, content-driven or narrative art had been abandoned and dismissed for a good part of the twentieth century to give way to abstraction by the purists and the formalists.
		The bottom line is that contemporary religious art is not going away, and many more artists who are Latter-day Saints are creating along similar lines and are emerging. Therefore, we can expect to see more contemporary art like it in the future produced by the LDS culture.

		Postmodern situation in Ukraine is a delayed occurrence; it came with a splash toward the end of the 80s, when symptoms of crisis in world art and decline of the "new expressivity" painting, rendering academic of trans-vanguard became evident.
		Postmodern orientation toward "radical eclecticism" was on firm ground in Ukraine because, partly, culture and art at all times in history were distinguished by an increased openness, susceptibility to merging styles, national cultures, and artistic languages.
		It is necessary to underline, that for many years a major-key Ukrainian art consciousness was a picture in its Social Realist, moderate left, or trans-vanguard variants.

		Egyptian art had a number of strict conventions for representing the human body that allow their works to be immediately recognizable to even the most untrained eye.
		Yet another convention of Egyptian art was to depict gods, including the pharaoh, and other important figures much larger in size than everyone else in the scene.
		More incredible is that Egyptian art — in all its detail — deals with the major questions that artists have wrestled with throughout time.

		From ancient times it's on to the medieval world, when Christianity dominated art and the heavenly world was a primary focus for painters.
		As Western art progressed into the modern era, painters skilled in all these artistic techniques found new challenges as voices of the political, social, or religious climate of their times.
		From the highly symbolic artwork of the Northern Renaissance to the modern art "isms" — Neoclassicism, Impressionism, Expressionism, Dadaism, Surrealism, and Minimalism — painting has been in part a response to and reflection of world events.

		Narratives that negotiate between private subjective values, social concerns and self subscribed metaphors; for it is the philosophical as well as visual aspects of making art that enlightens me. Provoking and inviting speculation, the pieces promote notions about ‘complicity” and ‘good’ behavior, while projecting a capricious irritability.
		The motives for this work are not entirely clear, but certainly relate to obsessions, a craving for beauty and a certain love of theatrical eclecticism where art and décor are interchangeable.
		Our mutual collaboration guarantees an eclectic bricolage that is formed from many bits and pieces which combine decorative and material playfulness with the erotic, in order to establish an intimate relationship with the viewer.
