Understanding Pictures Generation
So, what is actually meant by Pictures Generation?
The name of the generation of images was given to a group of American artists who grew up in the early 1970s and known for their critical analysis of media culture.
Explanation of Pictures Generation
In 1977 an exhibition titled Pictures Generation which featured many artists was held at The Artist’s Space in New York.
The generation of images is loose affiliates from artists, influenced by conceptual and pop art, which uses apropriation and montage to express the nature of the image that is built. Experiment with various media, including photography and films, their works expose the figures of culture and stereotypes in a popular image.
By re-working on famous images, their art challenges ideas about individuality and authorship, making this movement an important part of postmodernism. The artists create a more intelligent and critical watching culture, while also expanding the idea of art to include social criticism for new generations of viewers who are bored by the mass media.
Main ideas & achievements
Influenced by where the advertising and culture of the United States of America is very saturated, artists making images produce their own works that often resemble advertisements. In the forms of challenging traditional arts that look handmade, these artists put themselves in the postmodern debate center about the authenticity and authorship when in the process of creating slippery art and has a mass production performance. Their works obscure the line between high arts and popular images.
Although many artists in this group are formally trained in traditional disciplines such as painting and sculpting, they choose to take advantage of their skills in an orthodox way – re -checking the composition, especially in the production of popular image. The availability of cameras that are ready to enable artists to reconsider photography attitudes as artistic media, compiling images with conceptual frameworks.
Like photography, video is the perfect media for exploring the blurred boundaries between the original and reproduction. The emergence of a portable video camera along with the first examples of video art in the 1960s allowed the artists of the generation of images to analyze and criticize television for the first time.
Members of the image generation were given encouragement by the most important essay Roland Barthes, “The Death of the Author” (1967). The Frenchman did more than the others to start the poststructuralism (philosophical postmodernism) by challenging the idea that what a writer/artist said about their art is a definitive word about its meaning.
The essay gives legitimacy to the idea that “truth” (plural) must replace “truth” (single). With the re -work (or even just copying) the existing image, the image artists asked the audience to question (like those of Barthes) two major foundations of modernist ideology: authenticity and artistic genius.
