Renaissance Art in Venice: from tradition to individualism Tom Nichols is a book

that talks about the effects of the Renaissance era in Venice. He claims that the

era caused a sense of enlightenment not only in Venice but throughout the world.

The author also talks about techniques of different artists and takes into

consideration the overused concepts in Venetian arts. He closely analyzes special

Venetian works as he emphasizes the importance of artistic invention.

This book is a great source for me to use since it discusses the effects of the

Renaissance era and techniques artists used to create such masterful pieces. It also

goes into the philosophy behind all of the artwork enclosed in the book.

 In the news article “An artistic movement casts a giant shadow”, Cyprus Mail

talks about the effects of German Expressionism. German Expressionism is an

artistic movement that started during in Europe after World War I. The movement

started with literature and paintings, then found its way into theatre and

architecture. The newspaper goes on to call German Expressionism one of the

most influential movements in cinematic history, as it is the basis where popular

and commercial cinema genres evolved.

I am still debating on if I should use this source or not. This newspaper article is

good for my research paper because it gives me another artistic movement to

research. Though it doesn’t go into detail, it gives me a good starting point on

what I should be looking for when researching German Expressionism.

Andie Shabbar explains how glitch art can be a statement on how some

technological glitches can be seen as helpful in the article “Queer-Alt-Delete:

Glitch Art as Protest Against the Surveillance Cis-tem.” She gives the example of

how security scanners at airports are programmed to see inorganic body parts as a

biometric failure. Another given example is how airport surveillance and security

often actively search for hijabs, brown women, disability aids, and black women’s
 natural hair as it rejects the idea of white femininity. Surveillance and security

systems in the airport see black and brown men and women, trans people, and

disabled people as a biometric failure. This ‘glitch’ brings out the fact that these

systems are programmed to report anyone that is not cis-gendered, able-bodied,

and white as a threat to national security. Shabbar uses the ‘glitch’ in her art as a

way to reveal protest potential.

This article is perfect for my research paper because it clarifies whether or not

digital art is preventing the push of artistic movements. It also answers my

question of whether art is progressing or regressing.

Cecchini, Laura Moure. “Baroque Futurism: Roberto Longhi, the Seventeenth -Century, and the

Avant-Garde.” Art Bulletin, vol. 101, no. 2, June 2019, p. 29. EBSCOhost,

doi:10.1080/00043079.2019.1527641.

Laura Cecchini discovers how Roberto Longhi, a baroque expert, explores the

differences and similarities between Baroque and Futurism with the tropes of

“Latinity” versus “Germanity”. The author explains how Longhi sees Baroque as

the starting point of the Italian avant-garde and its relations to the Futurist

environment. She further explains how during World War I, Longhi’s

interpretation as Futurism being the heir to the Baroque provided problems with

national identity. Both Baroque and Futurism share roots in Italy yet spread

beyond the borders. Cecchini explains that they are similar in the fact that they

both make use of a variety of stylistic devices to create an impactful interrelation

 between the public, the artwork, and the artist. They also take part in the use of

persuasion and rhetoric. Cecchini goes on to explain Longhi’s life as a young

critic then goes into the rediscovery of the Baroque.

I most likely will not use this article since it is more about the comparison of two

artistic styles than the impact that said styles have on society. This article does

provide different concepts I can look into like why Futurism was rejected during

WWI.

Krajeski, Jenna. “Art and Revolution in Cairo.” Nation, vol. 298, no. 13, Mar. 2014, p.

In this magazine article, Jenna Krajeski talks about the effects that Revolutionary

art had on Egypt in 2011. She starts off by delivering an interview with Shady El

Noshokaty on the topic of his close friend Ahmed Basiony and his artwork. This

interview further explained how Basiony’s artwork, which was originally about

Egypt’s political paralysis, came to be reduced to a cipher of the revolution,

though Basiony was barely a part of the first revolution as he was shot and killed

by police when it had just begun. Krajeski expounds on the tragedy by further

explaining that El Noshokaty goes around galleries to promote Basiony’s art as it

is all that he left his family. When asked what the artwork means, El Noshokaty is

left torn between the artist original idea and what the public sees the artwork as.

Krajeski then continues by explaining the importance of revolutionary art during

 the protests in 2011. She tells how the start of the revolution was a confusing time

but artists delivering work that dealt around the revolution made it clear what the

current reality was for the Egyptian people. Krajeski also goes into media

manipulation for political influence.

I will definitely be using this article in my research paper since it adds to the topic

of revolutions. I have yet to bridge the gap between this article and artistic

movements.

Benear, S. L., Sunday, M. A., Davidson, R., Palmeri, T. J., & Gauthier, I.

“Can Art Change the Way We See?”. Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts.

28 Oct. 2019. Advance online publication. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/aca0000288

This is a psychological study on artists, non-artists, and perception. This study

explains that artists do, in fact, see the world differently. It goes on to say that

artists outperform non-artists in subjects like visual cognition, knowledge driven

processing, and high-level perception. Not much research is given on low-level

perception. It goes on to say that artists can be described as visual experts. The

study acknowledges the fact that some research says that there is no difference in

perception in artists and non-artists.

I do not think I will be able to use this article because it does not bring up topics

on revolutions, artistic movements, or digital art.

 Most of my sources speak on artistic styles and movements. The topic surfaced based on

these similar sources is the relationship between artists, style, and revolution. Most art in major

progressive eras have a certain theme or aesthetic to them that reflect that time period. Artists

make these artworks a direct representation of the times because art is the clear reflection of

reality. It is the sincere source of documentation.

There are a few gaps in my research. I cannot explain how similarities between Baroque

and Futurism link to revolutions based on my sources, though they are artistic styles. I could

further my research on those styles so that it lines up with my research. Also, my source that was

a psychological study does not give any relation to styles and artistic movements at all. It doesn’t

even give insight to revolutions. I cannot use this source in my research paper as it will create

confusion and irregularity. For the most part my research was successful and applicable.

Originally, I was going for a paper that was about the quality of artwork over the years,

but these sources have brought to my attention that I truly want to talk about artistic movements

and styles while still answering the questions from my previous essay. I will go on with this topic

in my research paper.
