Tradition vs Modernity

Image By Carl Warner

Tradition The two pieces by Carl Warner are two separate displays of tradition, directly juxtaposing the modernity of todays world and art culture. The original picture, depicts a woman draped in cloth, surrounded by pieces of fabric. This stereotypical representation of the ’old school’ or ‘traditional’ woman brings to light how women used to be seen, a vast difference from todays woman which has been drastically changed through changes in rights and the success of feminist movements. In parallel, the art piece entitled “Quixote and Panza” is the stereotypical representation of the traditional man. The image shows two males, a man and a boy right next to each other. The boy almost seems like a younger representation of the man who has a spear and appears to be armored. These two images work in parallel to represent the traditional man and women of a past time, however, today these stereotypes have been broken down and challenged so much they seem like a piece of history.
