Abstract
This paper explores and compares the influence of Clement Greenberg's and Michael Fried's ideas on art and aesthetics and how the reaction to those ideas impacted the development of late Modernism and its transition into Postmodernism.

From the Paper
"Central to both the theoretical stances of Greenberg and Fried is the non-referential nature of high art and the non-contingent nature of artistic practice. This forms part of an "elitist" view of art, which was to contrast sharply with later postmodern concepts of artistic practice that emphasize an egalitarian ethos and a breaking down of the barriers between the different art forms. As will become clear, for Greenberg and Fried correct artistic practice could not be contingent on and referable to other areas besides that specific mode of art. In other words, "proper" or pure art can have no subject and cannot be related to social or any other external areas. For both Greenberg and Fried the subject and correct developmental path of art was art itself. This becomes clear if the central tenets of modern formalism are analyzed."

Abstract
The paper begins by criticizing the fact that the people and achievements that Thomas Gilbert mentions, in his work "Roberto Clemente", are only those achievements accomplished by the Spanish that were accepted by mainstream, white culture. The paper highlights how this book leaves a lot to the imagination and speculation; the information is given, but whatever conclusions the reader reaches are completely unguided by the author. The paper also contends that the book, while intended for children, is totally inappropriate for them because it includes profanity and provides graphic detail of Clemente's death.

From the Paper
"I was sincerely surprised to find the autobiography of Roberto Clemente in the juvenile section. Aside from the somewhat graphic content, the book requires a level of associative thinking that it seems that children would not yet have acquired. Before examining the content of the book, it is important to consider the form and the concepts behind the writing. Looking first at the series in general, it seems too all-inclusive a topic. As mentioned in the Introduction of the book, the series includes all Hispanics, and by definition that encompasses all of the Spanish-speaking world and derivative languages."

Abstract
This paper presents an in depth looks at art criticism and focuses on the life of Clement Greenberg and his contribution to the world of art critiquing. The reader is taken on an exploratory journey in which the life and career of Greenberg are discussed.

From the paper:

Throughout history artists have placed their works out for the world to see and respond to. Museums and galleries are set up for the purpose of allowing art patrons to go and view what the artist has put together. Each piece of art is a unique blend of the artist's personality and the patron reacts to it partly on what the artist has created and partly because of his or her own life experiences. The world of art is extremely subjective making the critiquing of the works especially difficult. There have been many art critiques in the world but few have had the major impact on critiquing that famed critic Clement Greenberg had. Greenberg helped shape the field of art criticism and was especially involved in the avant-garde field.

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the works of painter Marc Chagall and their significance in the history of 20th century art. It also evaluates the dominance of Clement Greenberg as a critic of the modern art movement, specifically in relation to the paintings of Marc Chagall.

From the Paper
"Modernism, as defined by Clement Greenberg, is, in its ideal form, the combination of technique and subject matter to create artwork that challenges past conventions and to create art for art's sake. According to this definition, there exist many artists that are, by their existence and work within the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century, artists of Modernity who receive little attention in the study of Modernism due to the fact that they do not follow the traditional progression as described by Greenberg. It is because of this that a distinction is recognized between Modernity, the period that encompasses modern art without regard to preconceived notions of form or content, and Modernism, which has come to be dominated by Greenberg's view. One such artist who may be a victim of the dominance of Greenbergian Modernism is Marc Chagall, who's use of abstract techniques in combination with a goal of figurative or narrative illustration marks him as a mere detour in the progression of Greenberg's Modernism. Through analysis of form and content, one realizes that room must be left for interpretation in defining the highly dynamic period of the early to mid-twentieth century art world, lest the works of artists such as Chagall be ignored in the study of Modernity for their inability to be categorized by Greenburg's concept of progression."

Abstract
This is a short paper on the writings of some of the very early fathers of the Christian/Catholic church, Ignatius and Clement. This paper mostly relates to the role and importance of bishops and priests to the early church.

From the Paper
"Clement and Ignatius certainly agree that only an exclusive group within the faith is permitted to hold worship services and offer gifts. Clement devotes a significant portion of his First Letter to the issue, stating that the orderly procedure of preaching and worship depends on God's will. Thereafter, he explains the basis for the doctrine of apostolic succession concluding that those who celebrate "the sacrifices" (the Eucharist) with persons of proper authority "shall be guilty of no slight sin.""

Abstract
By examining two of Greenberg's articles written 35 years apart, the writer explores this critic's changing attitudes towards art. The articles examined are "Avant-Garde and Kitsch" written in 1939 and "Modernist Painting," written in 1965.

From the Paper
"Clement Greenberg has over influenced the art world greatly with his ongoing criticism. In two of his essays written over 35 years apart, he presents two arguments which show his evolving opinion as the nature of art changes around him, despite (or perhaps because of) his outspoken opinions. The first article, from 1939, discusses exactly what the title indicates: "Avant-Garde and Kitsch" and frames them in the social attitudes of the time. He criticizes kitsch, stating that avant-garde art, which is only understood by the cultural elite, is the one true art. The second is called "Modernist Painting," written in 1965. This piece seems to accept kitsch as part of our culture, and as part of Modernism. By analyzing the ramifications of what Greenberg says in these two essays, I am able to determine the relevance of his arguments from my own perspective, which is obviously different from his."

From the Paper
"Clement Greenberg's enormously influential definition of modernism embodies a teleological approach to art that was rejected by the Pop artists, among others, who constituted part of the reaction to 'modernism' (or, at least, to Greenberg's modernism) that began in the 1960s. Greenberg made an initial distinction between art, which took in "advanced painting," and kitsch, the German word for "disposable, poorly-designed consumer objects" that had been flooding the world in the wake of the Industrial Revolution (Stiles 2). Such objects fed the popular taste for illusionist representation, sentiment, anecdote, and decoration that was, Greenberg believed, beneath consideration for true art. In his view the European avant-gardes of the pre-1940 era embodied this disdain for the popular and a concern with the higher purposes of art. Greenberg's theory of modernism..."

From the Paper
"This study will examine Clement Greenberg's definition of modernism (as expressed in Theories and Documents of Contemporary Art, edited by Kristine Stiles and Peter Selz) and will then apply those statements to an analysis of one modernist and one non/anti- or post-modernist work of art, including statements by the artists themselves which will shed light on the nature of modernism, particularly as a theory of the teleology of art. The modernist work selected is Jackson Pollock's "Alchemy" (1947) and the anti-or post-modernist work is Arnulf Rainer's "Face Farces" (1969). Despite the fact that only twenty-two years separate the two works of art, a great chasm of intention and perception on the part of the artists separates the essence of the works."
Greenberg writes that
The essence of modernism lies . . . in the use of the

Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at Marie Clements' two plays, "Burning Vision" and "The Unnatural and Accidental Women" which both feature primarily Aboriginal characters, and foreground Aboriginal issues.According to the paper, however, the two plays approach this subject matter in very different ways. This essay further examines what Clements seems to be saying about Aboriginals in these two plays.

" Marie Clements' two plays, Burning Vision and The Unnatural and Accidental Women, both feature primarily Aboriginal characters, and foreground Aboriginal issues. However, the two plays approach this subject matter in very different ways. This essay will examine what Clements seems to be saying about Aboriginals in these two plays. Burning Vision is set in many different locations, as it is about colonialism and the atomic bomb. However, with regard to Aboriginals, it features the Dene people who mined pitchblende near Great Bear Lake in the..."
