History of Photography
Notes by Deeanna
(try my best to take notes)

Modernism

World war 1 (very violent very bloody lots of warfare)

Lots of revolution going around (Europe, China, Russia big changes of ideas)

Urbanism (social change in city, making more buildings, everything is new)

New ‘isms (new freedoms in mediums, socialism, cubism, ect)

Objectivity and new objectivity

Sigmund Freud (opened every ones mind to science, and psychology)

A radical reconstruction of the world through art and thought (the world is broken, things are not right the way they are. Art should be applied for everyone not just upper class people)

Dada (rejects the old, destroy the art world and rebuild)
