	French literature of the 20th century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		French literature of the twentieth century is, for the purpose of this article, literature written in French from (roughly) 1895 to 1990.
		Twentieth century French literature was profoundly shaped by the historical events of the century and was also shaped by -- and a contributor to -- the century's political, philosophical, moral, and artistic crises.
		Important historical events for French literature include: the Dreyfus Affair; French colonialism and imperialism in Africa, the Far East (French Indochina) and the Pacific; the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962); the important growth of the French Communist Party; the rise of Fascism in Europe; the events of May 1968.

	20th century classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An important feature of 20th century concert music is the existence of the splitting of the audience into traditional and avant-garde, with many figures prominent in one world considered minor or unacceptable in the other.
		Modernism took the progressive spirit of the late 19th century, its love of rigor and of technical advancement, and unhinged it from the norms and forms of late 19th century art.
		In the early part of the 20th century modernist composers such as George Antheil and others produced music that was shocking to audiences of the time for its disregard or flaunting of musical conventions.

	Artist Profile: Henri Matisse, 20th Century French Painter - His Life and Work
		Many late 19th (and early 20th) century European artists were drawn to certain qualities about this 'primitive' art, such as its non-imitative nature, its powerful and inventive stylized forms, and its more direct and honest quality, which contrasted with their impression of the overly refined art of the European academic tradition.
		Much European academic painting in the 19th century involved painting scenes of history or mythology, often as allegories; the method of painting was labored, and often consisted of dull browns applied in a completely smooth fashion, so as to hide the brushstrokes.
		He urged young art students not to be satisfied with images that come too easily - and to work hard to explore and decipher the world before them, in their paintings.

		As a means of recording the passage of time, the 20th Century was that century which lasted from 1901-2000.

		Here she shows how traditional forms of beauty disappeared from art in the 20th century, when artists rejected this ideal as placing undue importance on ornament while often objectifying the female body.
		In the twentieth century, the avant-garde declared a clean break with history, but their hostility to the female subject and the beauty she symbolized had deep roots in the past.
		Her focus is primarily on the depiction of women in art as subjects for the contemplation of beauty.

	How to Build a Better Monster: The male gaze and the creation of art
		Today in my 20th Century Art class, the instructor gave a fascinating lecture on gender coding and the objectification of women in 20th century French art.
		We discussed the recurring juxtaposition of women with images from nature (esp. with fruit and flowers) and examined the concept of the “male gaze,” which was briefly addressed in a film course I took last year.
		Considering the sexual saturation and blatant female objectification in these works, it came as no surprise to the class when we learned that the source of these images often came from prostitutes acting as models, or from sketches made while the artists made “observations” in the brothels.

	Forbes.com: Collecting 20th-Century German And Austrian Art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-17)
		There are several reasons why such modern German and Austrian art has had a difficult time with American audiences over the last 50 years (by contrast, U.S. collectors of contemporary art have avidly bought contemporary German artists such as Gerhard Richter, Anselm Kiefer and Sigmar Polke since the 1980s).
		The most obvious reason is the post-World War II stigma attached to German art in particular, even though the Nazis denounced most avant-garde art of their time as "degenerate," publicly mocking and sometimes even destroying it.
		Further, much of the art that survived came through Jewish collections that were looted or dispersed in forced sales, and has come down to the present day with a questionable provenance.

		Wood points out in the catalog, the vogue for the African exotic in 1920s and '30s Paris permeated the decorative motifs of Art Deco artists: the bold, geometric shapes, dark, earthy colors, and even images of African flora and fauna became recurring patterns in Art Deco furniture and textiles.
		Maison Gerard's new exhibit juxtaposes African art with French Art Deco designs, mixing furniture by Jean Michel Frank (1895-1941), Eugene Printz (1879-1948), and Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann (1879-1933) with ritual African objects, headdresses, and stools to show the relationship between the styles.
		A circa 1935 cerused-oak and wenge wood armoire with solid brass handles and details and a circa 1930 palm-wood and copper coffee table by Printz are shown along with stools from early 20th-century Nigeria, masks and a shrine door from 19th-century Mali, and a 19th-century iron-wood Zulu headrest from South Africa.
