Robert Whitman’s ‘Passport,’ in Two States at Once

Whitman’s contemporaries and collaborators in the late 1950s and early ’60s — Claes Oldenburg, Jim Dine, Red Grooms, Lucas Samaras, Allan Kaprow— found the power of performance in its ephemerality.

Hans Namuth’s 1951 photos and film of Jackson Pollock – the James Dean of the art world – making his paintings illustrated a new direction for Kaprow, where the artist was within the work, while making the work. After Pollock’s death, Kaprow wrote an essay on the Legacy of Pollock: exploring what he thought Pollock had meant for painting, art and life.

He suggested that the art to come was one that incorporated everyday life, and everyday objects. Museum Piece - Dine re-enactment w changes. Brutalist Architecture—masterpieces by architects Le Corbusier, Breuer, and more. Of all the styles of architecture that have emerged since the beginning of the 20th century, Brutalism may be one of the most divisive. This stark, concrete-centric offshoot of earlier forms of modernism became popular in England and the rest of Europe after World War II in part because it provided a sense of security in areas that had been devastated during bombings. Proponents praised its explicit functionality, while critics complained about lack of subtlety and, well, beauty. Brutalist and Brutalist-influenced municipal buildings, campuses, and housing projects, many designed by their day’s top architects, popped up around the world until the style’s popularity began to wane in the 1970s.

The reasons for this unsolicited crucifixion of a seemingly harmless thing – such as the aesthetics of a building – come from various sources.

Mies went on to become the godfather of the steel-and-glass international style; Corbu, enamored with the possibilities of concrete, essentially created brutalism. Which means that not only were the two architects great builders in their own right; they were also responsible for creating the greatest sibling rivalry in the history of architecture. Brutalism.
