4.30 Presentation

1.The concept of how Andy Warhol created the cycle of art into commodity and commodity into art is really interesting. I believe that's what he's intended to do. You mentioned how he first put art into album covers, but what would you say about the album covers before him? They are not considered art? I see that you are linking this concept with consumerism, you might want to make it into a clearer statement. I kind of understand the connection but also quite puzzled at the same time. Other than that, I really want to read your paper 'cause I'm personally interested in this topic as well.
2.I see how you focused on Joan MirĂ³'s works, are you just demonstrating the transitions of his art style? or is there a further analysis behind it? maybe you can talk about what influenced him maybe?
3.Manet's Olympia, compare with Venus. changed of genre of nude art. I would not necessary say that the painting of Olympia took the sexual gaze away; it is still there though. Are you gonna dig into the feminism at the time? I really like Olympia, there's so much to talk about. It would be a very interesting paper. You might want to point out some evidence from the painting to prove that she is in a higher class.
4.Revolution of female nudes. I like your topic. I've always wondered that how the standard for female nudity change throughout times. So has female nudity always be objectified? How would you distinguish between “art” and “objectifying”?
