Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(7pp) Artists working in the early 20th century
were engulfed in a tide of uncertainty and change.
The outbreak of World War 1 in 1914 resulted in
political, economic and social upheaval.
Technological advances like the advent of the car,
camera and electricity heralded new heights of
modernization. The invention of the camera and
dwindling patronage signaled a change in the
role of artists in society. Art was a reflection
of society. Abstract art evolved because artists
felt they had been liberated from 'imitating
nature'. Part of that search now included
letters of words in painting. Malevich, Magritte,
and Ernest will be discussed. Bibliography lists
4 sources.

product of an internal compulsion, but more like a conscious response to an external stimulus. However, Malevichs paintings show considerable powers of invention, as well. They might not always be
deeply personal, but they are the product of a lively mind (http://members .aol.com/mg4273/malevich.htm). One of these visual experiments included the use of words and letters, as can be seen
in the 1914 oil on canvas, Englishman in Moscow. 34 5/8 x 22 1/2 in.(88 x 57 cm.) Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam... Malevichs "An Englishman in Moscow" like
Cubisms collage technique juxtaposed a variety of forms along with portions of lettering. Yet there appears to be no sense of obvious logic in this painting.
