 Joseph Cornell
1930s artist:
Influenced by the Surrealists, he was also an avant-garde experimental filmmaker. He was largely self-taught in
his artistic efforts, and improvised his own original style incorporating cast-off and discarded artifacts. He lived
most of his life in relative physical isolation, caring for his mother and his disabled brother at home, but
remained aware of and in contact with other contemporary artists.

 1. The material used for these constructions were chosen for either of two reasons: the richness of their past,
like bone, hair, faded cloth, and photos, broken fixtures, feathers, sticks, rocks, string, and rope; or for their
vivid, abstract reality, like mirrors, bells, watch parts, bugs, fringe, pearls, glass, and shells. In one case, the skull
of a bird has been decorated in a rich, false history, and tassels with a bell on a string attached in a
reminiscence of her song. Others, stringed like totems, hang pretentiously boasting of their fictitious past.”
One thing I think is interesting in this statement is the way that he keeps talking about a false history, the idea
that these works seem to gesture to a past that's not clearly there. And here there's something very precious
and intimate about the work. It's meant to be open so that you can peek inside and discover treasures. I think it
evokes this archeological impulse, the way that you discover things that you don't completely understand and
a past you don't completely know. But what these things mean together is left up to you.

2. It shows two bicycles mounted next to each other, whose contours are colored by thin neon tubes. The
sculpture towers over a water basin and serves to design a small square limited by the old Huth wine house as
well as Renzo Pianos and Richard Rogers' new buildings.
By combining a counterpart mounted by wheel, the work loses meaning and function as a vehicle. The four-
wheeled pseudo-wheeled vehicle, reminiscent of DuchampsReadymades or a montage from Léger's film
collage Le Ballet mécanique, is doomed to a standstill. After doubts about unstoppable progress as a
paradigm of modernity have become known and irony is becoming more aware again as an adequate means
of the enlightener, the frozen vehicles placed on the rear wheels could be interpreted as an amusing thought-
mal request to a client whose products guarantee the highest standard of locomotion.
Fountain-major landmark in 20th-century art, ordinary piece of plumbing chosen by Duchamp was submitted
for an exhibition "everyday objects raised to the dignity of a work of art by the artist's act of choice."urinal's
orientation was altered from its usual positioning. Changed the way people view art due his focus upon
"cerebral art" contrary to merely "retinal art", as this was a means to engage prospective audiences in a
thought-provoking way as opposed to satisfying the aesthetic status quo "turning from classicism to
modernity
 Tomoko Takahashi
1980s artist:
•Takahashi's preferred method for her artistic process, specifically for installation pieces, consists of her inhabiting the space
in which the art will be collected. She collects scraps and debris from the site, which she often incorporates into the final
product. While these scenes generally incite an idea of chaos, Takahashi's attention to dehttps://www.google.ae/url?

Art known as Ange Mosaiques
 Azulejo (Spanish: [aθuˈlexo], Portuguese: [ɐzuˈleʒu, ɐzuˈlɐjʒu]; from the Arabic al-zillīj, 2[]1[)‫ ]الزليج‬is a form of
Portuguese and Spanish painted tin-glazed ceramic tilework. Azulejos are found on the interior and exterior of
churches, palaces, ordinary houses, schools, and nowadays, restaurants, bars and even railways or subway
stations. They are an ornamental art form, but also had a specific functional capacity like temperature control
in homes.

There is also a tradition of their production in former Spanish and Portuguese colonies in North America, South
America, the Philippines, Goa (India), Lusophone Africa, East Timor, and Macau (China). Azulejos constitute a
major aspect of Portuguese architecture to this day and are fixtures of buildings across Portugal and its former
territories. Many azulejos chronicle major historical and cultural aspects of Portuguese history
