The development course of conceptual art

The art of the twentieth century has always been regarded as something that people should admire and respect, and has won the highest praise. Questioning this, just as conceptual art does, is questioning people's fundamental values of culture and society. Art museums undertake many responsibilities of churches or temples: silence in pilgrimage, and maintaining and guarding the idolatry of their sacred objects.

Conceptual art reached its peak in the period of 1966- 1972 and fell into crisis. This term was first widely used around 1967, but it is still doubtful whether some forms of conceptual art existed throughout the twentieth century. .

In the mid-1960s, from the complete disappearance of artistic entities to the "tacit understanding" of art, they not only canceled the image, color and structure of plastic arts, but also canceled painting and sculpture themselves, emphasizing the thoughts and concepts of the authors behind artistic works, which were expressed in various media and forms. His most complex and comprehensive performances will always exist in the hearts of artists and audiences who understand him.

Some problems raised by conceptual artists in the late 1960s were foreseen by marcel duchamp as early as 50 years ago, and to some extent they were also Dada's anti-art attitude after 19 16. Twenty years after the end of World War II, they will be cited again and extended by a large number of artists, including neo-Dadaists and minimalists. Most of them continue to develop their works, while the new generation of artists use the strategy of conceptual art to explain their experience of the world. I think art has always been an international phenomenon. In the 1960s, you might find it in San Diego, Prague and Buenos Aires as you did in new york. As new york is the center of art dissemination and promotion in this period, the art created there has always been the most discussed. It may have four forms: a Readymade, a term invented by Duchamp, is used to refer to an article brought in from the outside world, which is declared or proposed as art, thus denying the uniqueness of art and the necessity of being operated by the artist himself; A kind of intervention, which puts some images, words or objects in an unexpected environment, thus arousing people's attention to this environment: for example, museums or streets; Documents, in which real works, ideas or activities can only be expressed through records, maps, charts or photos; Writing, in which ideas, opinions or surveys are expressed in the form of language.
