Modern art

Modern art is a much discussed topic. Everyone has an opinion about it, and attitudes are different. This will particularly be focusing on in my job because I want to work with two conflicting texts. One, Forget the pig is written by Lars Movin. He is clearly of modern art, whereas Hitler in a speech refers to the modern art as a flaw in humanity.

In this task, I will break the two text structures, to provide a better overview of their authors' opinions and arguments.

Forget the pig by Lars Movin:

Forget the pig is an article by Lars Movin. It was published in monthly magazine Press in July / August 1988. This article deals with modern art and how we understand and interpret it. According to Lars Movin modern art is about being able to look at art, without having to recognize and identify with it. People today are accustomed to everything we see must be like something. Our lives are filled with images. Pictures we are told how we perceive and understand. This means that we do not even form our own impression, but I get the contrast served on a silver platter. This is contrary to Lars Movin's position on how to interpret art. "Art is a new reality - not manufactured reality" [1], Lars Movin here believe that we have to interpret on what we see, so we choose our information and form our own reality. There is no interpretation is more correct than the other, everyone has the right to form their own interpretation, but by our desire, that art must imitate something we destroy our own chances with art. According to Lars Movin sprogliggør also art itself - but it speaks a different language without words, it speaks to us using the colors and structures. It is not meant we should try to translate that language into words, but I would rather help us to understand art. It is not always necessary to interpret and understand.

On Modern Art by Adolf Hitler:

On modern art is an excerpt from a speech, Adolf Hitler met in 1937 at the opening of an art museum in Munich. Adolf Hitler is not a great admirer of modern art. He believes that modern art is a shame for the German people, since it is merely a reproduction of art from before the Stone Age. The artists might as well have been kindergarten children as it is not adjacent to any interpretation or understanding. Adolf Hitler sees modern art as an art form supported by an arrogance and audacity which only small groups of supporters. Some people look at things differently, as Hitler believes is a visual disturbance. He is not aware whether these people indeed perceive things in this different manner, or whether they simply want to influence people with their scams. No matter what, believe Adolf Hitler, that it is his duty to save the German population from these people's art - either through the courts, or by stopping their ability to continue their family. When to stop and eradicate these people and their art believes Adolf Hitler that he ensures the German people to their senses and instincts.

Discussion of views from Forget the pig and Modern art:

There is a wide disparity in views of the two texts. It is obvious that Lars Movin and Adolf Hitler have lived / live in two different time periods and do not share the same opinions. During the time we live in now, it is in modern art. It is popular even among young people, to go to art museums. You do not understand art, to form an opinion on whether one likes it or not. You can back up his opinions based on colors and other sensory expressions we get from art.

Lars Movin's a much more modern vision of contemporary art in relation to Hitler. Lars Movin is very important that it is not necessary to be able to identify with the art. Another view, however, could be that it will be able to identify with the art, would make it easier to understand and interpret. By getting the art to look like something we would perhaps be better able to relate us to it, thus forming our own opinions. By Lars Movin also says, "There is no interpretation is more correct than the other."

Both Lars Movin and Adolf Hitler how to use the linguistic resources. Lars Movin have presented his pointer at a very understandable way, and we will call her interest in contemporary art. Adolf Hitler's also an inspiring language. He understands how to articulate it so provocative that you can not do otherwise than to oppose him.

Lars Movin opens his article with: "Do you know the feeling of missing words? The feeling of having experienced something which can not be translated into words? "[2]. This might be thought most people do. But why must also be put into words everything we experience? This could be argued was not a necessity. Some people choose to listen to a special music when they are in great sorrow or very happy. Others may choose to paint a painting. If you feel something very strongly, it would be wrong that would be dependent on having to paint a particular scene. Some lines and pixels ensemble, mixed with a variety of colors, or perhaps quite the opposite, gray and shadowy tones will give a far greater impression. It is almost impossible to express oneself in the same way by painting real motives. An artist should be allowed to express his feelings as he desires. This we see in other forms of art. A composer, for example, expresses himself through sounds and timbres. When he is in love, he writes a beautiful, slow piece of a single violin. There are long and low tones, followed by a sudden pause, then continues with a series of quick jerks of the arc. Is this not art? It is a mixture of colors, melodies and emotions.

Similarly, the lyrics always made use of abstract principles and instruments. A modern poet writes in metaphors. A rushing wave symbolizing a violent emotion, and a ticking clock symbolizes the passage of time or perhaps infinity. This is also art. Of course a painter equally allowed to express themselves through metaphors. Of course he should be allowed to paint things in ways other than the way they just appear.

Adolf Hitler believes that modern art is rubbish, "Architects and craftsmen did not work for hosting the canvases that are patched for over five hours because the artists feel that their naughty prices will ensure that the images will be greeted as utterly brilliant, brilliant works "[3]. But it would not have been possible for contemporary art that have survived for so many years, if it sold only because of their price and coverage. Moreover, modern art, respected by critics worldwide, and are assessed on a par with all other arts.

Adolf Hitler who has said a very strict compared to modern art. His opinions on modern art can easily relate to the political program he led. What was different and not listened to were to be exterminated.

Modern art makes topics under discussion and understand how to provoke people. There have been many examples throughout history of people who have managed to provoke and stimulate a discussion going. Almost everyone has heard of the artist who put the goldfish in a blender and let people have the ability to press a button to send the fish to death. He left it up to their own morals to make himself lord over life and death. Many people are surprised at this. They believe that anyone can put a goldfish in a blender. But the artist has thought creatively and provocatively by mistreating the little goldfish. It is a form of art that clearly puts ideas in motion. The artist managed to get others to perform his work, thereby creating his own points!
