It should show everyday people and the world around us.” Newtonian Law—“The universe is governed by a specific set of laws.

We are driven by that part of the mind that is unconscious and our unconscious pursues actions determined by our desires.” Surrealism—“The realistic portrayal of life is not the purpose of art.

15. A Lost Generation? Standard 10.6.3 Understand the widespread disillusionment with prewar institutions, authorities, and values that resulted in a void that was later filled by totalitarians. Standard 10.6.4 Discuss the influence of World War I on literature, art, and intellectual life in the West (e.g., Pablo Picasso, the "lost generation" of Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway).

16. What was the Lost Generation? The lost generation was a term coined by Gertrude Stein to describe young American artists (mostly writers) who rejected American ideals in the 1920s and moved to Paris to live the bohemian lifestyle (party it up, live for today, because there may be no tomorrow). Famous members of the Lost Generation included Stein herself, Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

17. The Lost Generation thought that Western Civilization was coming to an End… • Why would intellectuals have thought WWI was the end of the superiority of Western Civilization? 1918

18. The Lost Generation felt betrayed by their leaders, their culture, and their institutions. • They asked themselves “How could all this death and destruction have been allowed to happen?” They felt helpless, and lost. They despaired for the future. Where once they had trusted, now they did not. It appeared that Good had lost the battle against Evil.

19. Writers tried to capture the bleak hopelessness of War • T.S. Eliot- The Waste Land (1922) • JRR Tolkien- The Lord Of The Rings (1937-1954) • F. Scott Fitzgerald- The Great Gatsby (1925) • Ernest Hemingway- • An American novelist • Served in WWI • A Farewell to Arms (1929) • "I know the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started." See Also: Literature in the 1920’s, Pg. 464

Modern Art- Artists tried to capture new perceptions of reality… “Oppy Wood” – John Nash, 1917 “Gassed and Wounded”Eric Kennington, 1918 • Old styles of art couldn’t express the deep distress caused by WWI. • In many cases, people did not want to remember the war too clearly or too exactly. • WWI changed the way people perceived the world and this was reflected in their art. “Those Who Have Lost Their Names”Albin Eggar-Linz, 1914

21. Cubism- Reality broken into Pieces • Cubism was born out of the experience of the WWI battlefield. • At night, exploding bombs lit the sky in quick flashes, causing the world to look disjointed, distorted, disordered, and broken up into stark pieces. • In Cubism… • Objects are broken up and re-assembled in abstract form. • Picasso • Pre-WWI work • African masks See also: Revolution in the Arts, Pg. 465

24. Surrealism- Trying to show how things Feel • During WWI, the founder of surrealism, André Breton, who had trained in medicine and psychiatry, served in a neurological hospital where he used the psychoanalytic methods of Sigmund Freud with soldiers who were shell-shocked. • He sought a way to express the inner workings of the mind, those feelings, experiences, urges and impressions that were separated from logic and reason. • Surrealism is an art movement that sought to link the world of dreams with real life.

28. Music- Ragtime, Jazz and Swing • Musical artists in the US combined African rhythms from the South with popular music to make ragtime, jazz and swing. • This music held a hesitation before the last beat of four. That hesitation expressed the uncertainty and anguish of the post war world. • The hesitation is what makes this music sound different from classical music. • The best musicians like Woody Herman, Duke Ellington and Fats Waller were masters at manipulating this hesitation in the music. • Swing dances like Lindy-hop, Balboa and Shag were created to take advantage of the new music. These dances also broke taboos. Check out videos

31. Science and the Theory of Relativity - Trying to find out how the physical world really works • Albert Einstein (1879-1955) • German-born physicist- a true out of the box thinker - the genius among geniuses who discovered, merely by thinking about it, that the universe was not as it seemed. –TIME Magazine • Discovered that space and time are not constant • Known for seeing things from an entirely new angle, and then devising simple experiments to prove his ideas. • Theory of Relativity changed how people viewed the world • Werner Heisenberg—Uncertainty Principle (1927) • The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa. • Believed we could know what we couldn’t know See also: Impact of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, pg. 463

32. Philosophy and Existentialism- Trying to decide what we should think about next… • John Paul Sartre, Albert Camus- • Existentialism- Humans must define their own Reality • There is no universal meaning to life. There is no one way to order or explain the universe • We must create our own meaning • We can never truly understand each other, because we are all too different. No two understandings are the same. See also: Thinkers React to Uncertainties, Pg. 464

33. Existentialism in the movies…. WOODY ALLEN:  That's quite a lovely Jackson Pollock, isn't it? GIRL IN MUSEUM:  Yes it is. WOODY ALLEN:  What does it say to you? GIRL IN MUSEUM:  It restates the negativeness of the universe, the hideous lonely emptiness of existence, nothingness, the predicament of man forced to live in a barren, godless eternity, like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void, with nothing but waste, horror, and degradation, forming a useless bleak straightjacket in a black absurd cosmos. [pause] WOODY ALLEN:  What are you doing Saturday night? GIRL IN MUSEUM:  Committing suicide. WOODY ALLEN:  What about Friday night? GIRL IN MUSEUM: [leaves silently] "Play It Again, Sam", Paramount Pictures, 1972
