Find a good example of a artwork from the early 20th century (ca. 1900-1950) that either reflects the culture or society in which it was created or has affected society in some way. Then choose ONE of the following to discuss:

1. Start a discussion about how the visual appearance of this work reflects its culture/society. (E.g. Many art movements emerged in response to WWI, and the styles and subject matter of the art they created reflect their various opinions of war--did the art movement that your work belongs to have a positive or negative opinion about war? How did they express this opinion through style, subject matter, or choice of materials?)
2. Start a discussion about the ways in which the work itself affected society. (E.g. Did it offend people? Who? Why?Did it influence other artists or lead to other avant-garde styles?)
