Arts discussion chapter 24,23

1. Marcel Duchamp liked to challenge people’s traditional standards of beauty and values, for example his piece “L.H.O.O.Q”, where he drew a mustache on a postcard version of Mona Lisa. Give a modern example of an artist challenging the world’s traditional standards and values, and a brief explanation as to what it is challenging. Please insert the picture as well. 

2. Discuss the cult status that the artist Frida Kahlo occupies in our time.  

3. Discuss the reasons why Abstract Expressionist painters moved away from the dominant realistic styles of the time. How did their art liberate painting (e.g. easel painting, materials, technique, attitude)?
