Was the 20th century dominated more by science than art - besides cinema what art was unique to this period?

Answer 1

nothing

Answer 2

The 20th century was dominated by two world words. Although obviously art, cinema, science etc made great strides during the century, what will mostly be remembered of it in the history of the future, is war.

Curiously it was those two world wars which pushed science up a few notches. Air planes by WW-One were pretty basic, all fabric and string as it were. Twenty or so years later, they were flying at speeds of more then 300mph and during that same second world war, the Germans had developed rocket science capable of putting a man on the Moon.

Other inventions included Radar and more.

By the 1950s the sound barrier had been broken.

By 1969 man actually did land on the moon - in thanks mainly to Werner von Braun the German rocket scientist.

Answer 3

Music evolved and grew at a massive rate in the 20th century. Do you class drama/comedy, etc as art? If so then TV had a massive impact on the 20th century - in fact it is a prime example of how science helped the advancement of some art.

Answer 4

well there will always be some form of art work in the world, if you mean something iconic then i would have to say no. the 20th century was an age of science and knowledge. i believe the 21 will be age of invention. so apart from TV entertainment and stuff related to it, there are no other things that i would call BIG that would be at the same level as space travel and air lines. (i am referring to art work in terms of Painting, designing, architecture etc...

Answer 5

Definitely science, and Im an artist!!!

Surrealism was inspired by the work of Jung and Freud
Pop art by mass production and mechanisation
Futurism by the motor car/aircraft
computer art by the advances in computers
Abstraction fed from the explosion in photography

Art fed off the inventions in technology
Technology triggered the advances in the arts

Answer 6

art deco

Style in the decorative arts which influenced design and architecture. It emerged in Europe in the 1920s and continued through the 1930s, becoming particularly popular in the USA and France. A self - consciously modern style, originally called ` Jazz Modern ´ , it is characterized by angular, geometrical patterns and bright colours, and by the use of materials such as enamel, chrome, glass, and plastic. The graphic artist Ert é was a fashionable exponent.

In Britain art deco style is found in the work of pottery designers Susie Cooper and Clarice Cliff , the industrial designer Douglas Scott , and the architect Giles Gilbert Scott , who designed Battersea Power Station (1932 - 34) with an art deco interior.

In France and the USA art deco was used extensively in urban architecture such as the Chrysler Building, New York City ; in interior design such as in Radio City Music Hall, New York City ; and in notable designs for streamlined trains, cars, and aeroplanes. It also influenced industrial design in products such as chinaware, radios, textiles, home furnishings, jewellery, and printed matter. Its use in film sets and costumes helped promote a fascination with modernism that culminated in the 1939 - 40 World's Fair in New York City
