Funny Art Video

I loved the video!!!!
It is so funny how they used animals to talk about art....
Art could be anything just like they said.
Not matter what the artist puts together. It could be a chair on a top of a desk and he will call it art.

Contemporary Art

Contemporary art can be defined variously as art produced at this present point in time or art produced since World War II. The definition of the word contemporary would support the first view, but museums of contemporary would support the first view, but museums of contemporary art commonly define their collections as consisting of art produced since World War II.
Contemporary art is exhibited by commercial contemporary art galleries, private collectors, corporations, publicly funded arts organizations, contemporary art museums or by artists themselves in artis-run spaces. Contemporary artists are supported by grants, awards and prizes as well as by direct sales of their work.
A common concern since the early part of the 20th century is the question of what constitutes art. This concern can be seen running through the "modern" and "postmodern" periods.

ITALIAN CINEMA

Italian film industry began in the early 20th century and developed several styles of its own such as Neorealism and Spaghetti Westerns to name a few.
The Italian movie-making started around 1903 and 1908 with the main organization located in Milan, Rome, Turin, Naples. Some of the movies produced in these studios will soon be seen around the world. In 1993, during the fascist era under Benito Mussolini, Cinecitta is born and begins large scale productions including american movies such as Ben-Hur and later on some Federico Fellini's masterpieces.
The late 1950's saw a change in the mood of movie making and also because of the strong economic growth and post war peace, Italians wanted to be entertained by happier and romantic movies and so the Italian comedy came to life.
