Speaking topics in text
Before the nineteenth century, European critics generally believed that works of art that were based on Greco-Roman ideals of beauty represented the pinnacle of achievement. Artwork based on those ideals strived, in part, to represent the physical world at its aesthetic best. In the twentieth century, however, philosophical views concerning art significantly changed. Notable critics began to judge work not by whether it subscribed to those Greco-Roman standards, but instead by its power to evoke powerful ideas and emotions, even through jarring, at times unattractive abstraction. Although some artistic works continued to draw from Greco-Roman ideals, the ways in which they were judged shifted notably.
