Modern Art Movement

In my presentation the cultural movement that gave rise to Feminist Art is the Feminist Theory, which is the understanding of gender inequality. My art movement has an influence on the arts and communication industry because now women have more job opportunities. Artists contribute and fulfill a social need in their artwork in many ways. For example, the "Guerrilla Girls" showed facts in their work. " Do women have to have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum? Less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art Sections are women, but 85% of the nudes are female." I think Feminist Art is very powerful and I like the fact that the art is showing some very important messages.

"Point and Shoot" by Martha Rosler 2008

I chose this art piece because I get the message that women are categorized into joining the model industry when there's more important roles out there, like being a soldier for the country. I do think a single artist with many pieces has the ability to persuade someone's opinion on women. In feminist artwork there is meaning and if someone explained it to another person than maybe they'll change their mind. In my opinion technology advances aided the cultural impact of skilled art production by having more digital media artwork pieces. The more advance technology gets the more advance the artwork gets. The use of technology also helped the distribution of the pieces worldwide.
