art history

0: Functional (For people going through reality)

1: Adornment (Make reality better for people)

1: Representational (To appreciate god)
2: Representational by artists (For elite to appreciate reality)

2: Artist (about artists-expressionism)
2: Material (about materials- abstract art, minimalism, conceptual)

2.5: pop (art about the day's culture artists, people, and material)

3: deconstructed reality (times, cultures, materials-any art movement can be here)

3.5: manufactured reality (relational art, maximalism, installation, performance, land art, graffiti)

1: protomodern (maybe science aesthetic, generative, relational aesthetics, and other)

0: reality

1:protomodern

2: modern

3:postmodern

(cyclical, unless apocalypse or mass rejection of inventions occurs we will never return to reality stage)

Protomodern ends in a new reality built out of the lessons learned from deconstructing the last modernist attempt at truth. This protomodern cycle could end in an art of living; a beautiful lifestyle and living space, and then the cycle repeats toward removing art into this pure field, the white gallery space again. I am not sure if we can ever go back to that fully, I think art will remain in a constant state protomodern leaning toward postmodern or modern.

Notes:
-What is maximalism? does it go somewhere on this?
-many of the movements sited also fall into other of the categories but were more easily expressed in one.

-(Tree by mark dion- Real as hell, but out of nature = protomodern)

we are moving back towards representing reality with new technologies and
