Please help me with my art history paper!! PLEASE!?
My topic is Corporate wars: Wall of influence by Robert Longo and I cannot find ANY information on it. Can you please help me? This is my requirements: PLEASE HELP!
The paper should be research on the context of the artwork.
**The artist’s life and any personal events in the artist’s life which would help you understand the artwork. Tell me what was happening in his/her life and the times he/she lived in which would make him/her create this specific piece of artwork. You should discuss the times and the facts that show what in this artwork was characteristic of art of that time period.
**The cultural and social and intellectual ideas of the time which are reflected through the artwork. (i.e. Freud’s writings influence on Surrealism).
**Also include the reactions of the audience it was first exposed to, if possible. (i.e. the reaction of the Paris art world when the Impressionists first began to exhibit.)
THANK YOU!

You might do a bit of research on the 1950’s and 1960’s which were the post-war years with all the turmoil that it created.
