Event Description

Sunday Lectures at the Gallery Part 2 with Dr. Daniel Mato.

It was in Europe before the First World War that the impact of non-European arts upon the development of modern art was first experienced. Artists in France and Germany sought new sources of creative energy in the arts off the shores of Europe and in the far reaches of their colonial empires. Gauguin acknowledged this escaping to the south Pacific seas when he said: “all barbarism was rejuvenation”. Beginning in Paris in 1905-6, African sculpture was collected by many artists who sought to energize their visions and ultimately redirect the course of modern art. During the same period artists in Germany turned to the arts of both Africa and the Pacific in their quest for renewal, while Russians found their local traditional peasant arts sufficient for inspiration. The impact of the arts of traditional societies on the development of European modern art was profound and permanent. The question to be asked then is how did the sophisticated abstractions of the arts of Africa or the geometric patterning found in the Near East or the spiritualism of Asian arts or the dynamics of the arts of New Guinea and the Pacific serve as catalysts and sources for the development of Cubism, Expressionism, Dada and Surrealism. It is in the art of the time to answer the question.
