Edward Hopper: The Paris YearsFebruary 22 - June 1,
2003ハ Edward Hopper was the J.D. Salinger of American
painters, an extremely private man who granted few interviews.
Much of what scholars know about his work comes from his
wife Jo Nivison-Hopper's journals. Edward Hopper: The Paris
Years, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art of
New York, provides a tantalizing look at the early work of one
of America's best known figurative painters. The exhibition of
45 paintings and 10 works on paper opens at Charlotte, NC's
Mint Museum of Art on February 22 and runs through June 1,
2003. (left: Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Steps in Paris, 1906,
oil on wood, 13 x 9 3/16 inches, Collection of the Whitney
Museum of American Art, New York, from a 1970 bequest from
Josephine N. Hopper)Hopper said little about even his most
accomplished paintings, believing the work should speak for
itself. Scholars have been left to speculate on influences on his
career, from his realist art instructors Robert Henri, William
Merritt Chase andKenneth Hayes Miller at the New York School
of Art to the psychological reaction of a young man raised in a
small town coming to grips with isolation and loss of
community in the urban modern age that was New York City at
the turn of the century. The answer may be found in Paris, in
verse rather than on canvas. (right: Edward Hopper (1882-
1967), Notre Dame, No. 2, 1907, oil on canvas, 23 1/2 x 28 3/4
inches, Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art,
New York, from a 1970 bequest from Josephine N.
Hopper)Edward Hopper's early talent for drawing and painting
was encouraged by his mother Elizabeth. The family's middle
class concern for his future financial security influenced
Edward to attend The New York School of Illustrating before
transferring to the New York School of Art. Hopper would work
more than fifteen years as a commercial illustrator, work that he
despised. His skill at painting watercolors, however, is
attributed to the years spent as an illustrator. He was able to
master strokes with the brush and had a remarkable eye for
being able to adjust a composition to where it would have the
most immediate anddramatic impact on the viewer.After six
years of study at the New York School of Art, Hopper left for
France in October, 1906. His Paris studies coincided with an
exciting era in the history of the Modern movement. Hopper,
however, was untouched by Fauvist and Cubist art popular at
the time, continuing instead to follow his own artistic course.

on canvas, 23 7/16 x 28 3/4 inches, Collection of the Whitney
Museum of American Art, New York, from a 1970 bequest from
Josephine N. Hopper)"I've heard of Gertrude Stein, but I don't
remember having heard of Picasso at all," stated Hopper. "Paris
had no great or immediate impact on me." Then again, Hopper
later admits, "America seemed awfully crude and raw when I
got back. It took me ten years to get over Europe."In Europe,
Hopper also visited London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels and
Spain. The painting that left the greatest impression on him was
Rembrandt's The Night Watch as did the work of painters Diego
Velasquez, Francisco de Goya, Honore Daumier and Edouard
Manet. (right: Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Le Bistro or The
Wine Shop, 1909, oil on canvas, 23 3/8 x 28 1/2 inches,
Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York,
from a 1970 bequest from Josephine N. Hopper)Hopper's palette
in Paris brightened considerably from the previous sober New
York paintings as seen in Le Quai des Grands Augustins (1909)
and Le Pavillon de Flore (1909). In a few examples, such as
Gateway and Fence (1907) and Le Parc de Saint Cloud (1907),
he employs Impressionist techniques. He remained committed to
realism and exhibited some of the basic characteristics that he
was to retain throughout his career: compositional style based
on simple, large geometric forms, flat masses of color and the
use of architectural elements in his scenes for their strong
verticals, horizontals and diagonals. Hopper's early Paris work
favored the depiction of small streets (Rivers and Buildings,
1907), architectural elements (Steps in Paris, 1906) and
interiors (Stairway at 48 rue de Lille, Paris, 1906).While
Modern painting failed to impress the young American, the
"poet of modern civilization" did. Hopper discovered the poetry
and critical writing of Charles-Pierre Baudelaire (1821 - 1867)
whose formulation of his aesthetic theory served as the
inspiration for the Symbolist movement away from painting by
observation to an expression of more subjective intellectual and
emotional visions. Hopper was to read and recite Baudelaire's
work throughout his life. The two men shared interests in
solitude, in city life, in modernity, in the solace of the night and
in places of travel. (left: Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Le
Pavillon de Flore, 1909, oil on canvas, 23 3/4 x 28 3/4 inches,
Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York,
from a 1970 bequest from Josephine N. Hopper)Baudelaire's
feelings for Paris, for the teeming modern city and his
compassion for the failures and outcasts in its streets expressed
in Le Spleen de Paris, is a forerunner to Hopper's dominant
theme of disconnect in 20th century America. Hopper's figures
in his mature work seem far from home, they sit or stand alone,
looking at a letter on the edge of a hotel bed or drinking alone
in a bar or gazing out the window of a moving train. Their faces
arevulnerable and introspective, adrift in transient
places.Hopper's personality was perfectly suited to the paintings
he produced. His realistic depictions of everyday urban scenes
allowed viewers to identify with the images and situation in a
personal manner. His emphasis on blunt shapes and angles and
the stark play of light and shadow had the power to shock
viewers into recognition of the strangeness of familiar
surroundings. (right: Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Le Quai des
Grands Augustins, 1909, oil on canvas, 23 1/2 x 28 1/2 inches,
Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York,
from a 1970 bequest from Josephine N. Hopper)Edward Hopper
was 43 years old before painting what is generally
acknowledged to be his first fully mature picture, The House by
the Railroad, in 1925. His deliberate, disciplined spareness
combined apparently incompatible qualities."Modern in
bleakness and simplicity, his Parisian was nostalgic in his
fondness for 19th century architecture," noted Mint Museum
curator Michael Whittington. "While his compositions are
realist, they make frequent use of covert symbolism."

The term “straight photography” was popularized by critic
Sadakichi Hartmann, who often wrote for Camera Work. In a
1904 article titled “A Plea for Straight Photography,” Hartmann
bemoaned the excessive handwork and painterly flourishes that
characterized much of what he saw in Pictorialist photography,
arguing, “We expect an etching to look like an etching, and a
lithograph to look like a lithograph, why then should not a
photographic print look like a photographic print?”

Stieglitz: “There were men and women and children on the
lower deck of the steerage. There was a narrow stairway leading
to the upper deck of the steerage, a small deck right on the bow
of the steamer. To the left was an inclining funnel and from the
upper steerage deck there was fastened a gangway bridge that
was glistening in its freshly painted state. It was rather long,
white, and during the trip remained untouched by anyone.On the
upper deck, looking over the railing, there was a young man
with a straw hat. The shape of the hat was round. He was
watching the men and women and children on the lower steerage
deck…A round straw hat, the funnel leaning left, the stairway
leaning right, the white drawbridge with its railing made of
circular chains – white suspenders crossing on the back of a
man in the steerage below, round shapes of iron machinery, a
mast cutting into the sky, making a triangular shape…I saw
shapes related to each other. I saw a picture of shapes and
underlying that the feeling I had about life."

Chapter 11 Population and Migration
CHINA’S ONE-CHILD POLICY WAS BEGUN IN 1979 TO
REDUCE POPULATION GROWTH. Residents of Guangdong
Province looked at a propaganda billboard for the policy.
However, after more than 35 years, the one-child policy was
rescinded in October 2015 after its long-term demographic and
economic implications caused many to question it.
Learning Objectives
1. 11.1Evaluate the causes as well as negative consequences of
high and low population growth rates
2. 11.2Recall the types, causes, and gender roles of global
migration
3. 11.3Identify the push factors of migration
4. 11.4Identify the pull factors of migration
5. 11.5Illustrate how migration and population issues are
important components of human, national, and global security
6. 11.6Examine the social, economic, and political implications
of migration on the sending and receiving countries
Population and migration issues, perhaps more than any other
global problem, demonstrate the reality of globalization.
Hunger, inequality, ethnic conflicts, environmental degradation,
sustainable development, the treatment of women, global
security, economic development, trade, poverty,
democratization, human rights concerns—all aspects of
globalization are intertwined with population. To a large extent,
population factors will determine the future of humanity and the
world. Rapid population growth is a silent threat to both human
and global security, making it as grave a concern as the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Demographic disparities among countries generally influence
the distribution of economic, military, and political power
among states. For example, France dominated continental
Europe for a long time partly because of its relatively large
population, although Britain used its geographic location and its
navy to counter French power. America’s growing population is
likely to consolidate its power, whereas Europe’s aging and
declining population is likely to diminish its power in the global
system. Russia’s population decline has contributed to its loss
of power globally. Population growth in the developing world is
helping shift economic and political power to emerging market
economy countries.1
Migration makes population issues an even more pressing global
concern. Each wave of globalization has been accompanied by
migration. The movement of capital, technology, and products
across national boundaries is inseparable from the migration of
people. The current period of globalization is marked by an
unprecedented movement of people around the world. The
creation of global institutions and the globalization of human
rights and democracy have facilitated migration as well as given
rise to a global human rights regime that protects migrants,
independent of their nationality. This chapter focuses on
population growth and its global implications. The different
kinds of migrants and migrations are discussed. The pressure on
Western Europe due to migration from Africa and the Middle
East, and the possible effects from the November 13, 2015
terrorist attack on Paris, are also noted in this chapter. The role
of gender in migration, rural-to-urban migration,
transcontinental migration, forced migration, refugees, reform
migration, and the global smuggling of immigrants are all
examined. The causes of migration are as old as human
civilization. After analyzing them, we will look at case studies
that illustrate the dynamics of global—as opposed to regional
and internal—migration. The chapter concludes with a case
study of global aging and pensions.
11.1: Population
1. 11.1 Evaluate the causes as well as negative consequences of
high and low population growth rates
At the heart of population as a global issue is the extent to
which population growth threatens the Earth’s carrying
capacity. Overpopulation (i.e., too many people living in an
area that has inadequate resources to support them) has been a
global preoccupation for centuries. Population problems must be
seen in the context of consumption. In this context, the
population of the developed world, which consumes much, is
seen as a bigger problem for the world’s resources than the
population of the developing world, which consumes little.
Often, population problems can be avoided if population growth
remains stable, assuming that resources are also carefully
managed. The rate at which the population remains relatively
stable is referred to as the replacement rate. To achieve this,
fertility rates must average 2.1 children per couple. Migration
influences the replacement rate, population growth, and
population decline.
Thomas Malthus (1766–1834), an English economist,
sociologist, and pioneer in demographics, wrote An Essay on
the Principle of Population in 1798. In it, he argued that
because population increases by a geometrical ratio and food
supplies increase by an arithmetical ratio, the world would have
high rates of population growth and suffer from poverty and
starvation. The widespread practice of family planning and
technological and scientific revolutions in food production,
transportation, and storage essentially rendered these dire
predictions false. The invention of genetically modified crops
and other agricultural scientific breakthroughs further challenge
Malthus’s argument. However, food shortages and higher prices,
due partly to the use of corn to produce biofuels, complicate the
discussion on food and population. High population growth
remains a serious threat to most developing countries and, as we
discussed in Chapter 9, frustrates efforts to reduce global
poverty and economic inequality. Malthus was concerned about
the Earth’s carrying capacity. Carrying capacity refers to the
maximum number of humans or animals a given area can
support without creating irreversible destruction of the
environment and, eventually, humans and animals themselves.
Combined with fervent nationalism and a perception that
survival itself is at stake, population pressures often result in
military conflict. The Palestinian-Israeli struggle is an example
of how demographic changes are perceived as determining
destiny. Jews now comprise roughly 50.5 percent of the
population in Israel and the Palestinian territories. By 2020, the
proportion of Jews will decline to 42.1 percent, whereas the
Palestinians, who now make up 44.3 percent of the population,
will see their share of the population grow to 52 percent. The
birthrate for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza is 40 for
every 1,000 people. The birthrate for Palestinians in Israel is
36 per 1,000 people. Compare this with a birthrate for Jews of
18.3 per 1,000, and you will see why demographic changes are
perceived as threats to Israel’s security.
11.1.1: Population Issues in Developing Countries
Most developing countries have high population growth rates
and suffer from vast differences in income. Inadequate
education, low rates of contraception usage, cultural norms that
value large families and male virility, the need for labor in
subsistence economies, and the need to have children to support
parents are some of the reasons population growth is higher in
poorer countries. Most of the countries with the largest
populations and the highest growth rates are in the developing
world. Roughly 97 percent of the increase in the global
population is occurring in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and
Latin America, with the more prosperous countries in these
regions experiencing declining growth rates. Industrialized
countries, on the other hand, are experiencing declining growth
rates and even depopulation in some cases.
In India, more than 400 million people—roughly the combined
populations of the United States and Britain—live in dire
poverty and are illiterate. Nonetheless, the population in India
grows by about three people a minute, or two thousand an hour,
or forty-eight thousand per day. In other words, the growth of
India’s population each day is equivalent to that of a medium-
sized American city. By 2025, India is projected to surpass
China as the world’s most populous country, with about 1.5
billion people, compared with China’s 1.4 billion people. China
and India alone account for one out of every three children
added to the global population.
Problems arising from rapid population growth have influenced
governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and
women to take action to limit population growth. It is generally
agreed that women’s level of education strongly influences
fertility rates. Education helps to determine factors that affect
population growth rates, such as contraceptive usage, the age of
marriage and childbearing, social status and self-perception, and
employment opportunities outside of the home and residence.
An interesting development is the declining birthrates in Brazil,
Mexico, Bangladesh, India, the Philippines, Iran, Vietnam,
Indonesia, and Egypt, where poverty and illiteracy remain
serious and pervasive problems. Even women who are less
educated have become more assertive about their reproductive
choices. Factors influencing this change include economic and
cultural globalization, greater access to education, increasing
urbanization, the declining influence of religion on women’s
reproductive lives, greater access to medical technologies, and
the cumulative effects of satellite television and other media
that stress the advantages of having fewer
children. Sexism strongly influences population decisions in
developing countries. In many societies, tradition supports
having large families by praising the fertility of women and the
virility of men. The son complex—the preference for having
boys instead of girls—influences many parents worldwide to
continue having children until a boy is born. Parents, especially
mothers, are demeaned in many societies if they do not produce
boys. In many traditional South Asian families, a boy is
expected to live with his parents, be employed, inherit property,
provide financial security for aging parents, and light their
funeral pyres. A daughter, by contrast, is widely perceived as a
financial and social liability. When she marries, her family is
required, by tradition, to provide the bridegroom’s family with a
substantial dowry, which can be money, property, or both.
Parents often incur significant debt to provide dowries. Sexism
also conspires with advanced medical technology to reduce the
number of girls in some countries such as India and China. With
the use of ultrasound machines to determine the sex of the fetus,
many parents often decide to abort female fetuses. India passed
a law in 1996 prohibiting medical staff from informing parents
of the gender of a fetus, but it appears to be ignored. Based on
the predominance of male births, researchers estimate that more
than six million girls have been aborted in India since 2000.
Those practices plus female infanticide have contributed to a
widening divergence in the ratio of females to males in many
parts of India and China.
China’s one-child policy, initiated in 1979 by Deng Xiao Ping,
China’s leader, and rescinded in October 2015, was the most
controversial approach to dealing with rapid population growth.
China established the state family planning bureau to formulate
policies and procedures for enforcing the one-child policy.
Family planning committees at the local level, a part of the
Communist Party, were responsible for rewarding those who
complied with the policy and punishing those who violated it.
Those who complied with it received a monthly stipend until the
child was fourteen years old and got preferential treatment when
applying for housing, education, and health benefits for the
child; they were also granted a pension in old age. Those who
failed to comply with the one-child policy risked the loss of
benefits for the first child, jeopardized their employment with
the government, and risked having their property seized.
Women often were forced to be sterilized, especially after the
birth of a second child. Exceptions to the one-child
policy included the following cases: (1) if the first child had a
defect; (2) in the case of a remarriage; (3) if couples are
involved in certain jobs, such as mining; or (4) if both partners
came from families with one child. Demographic and economic
implications of the one-child policy influenced more Chinese to
question it, leading first to a modification of it and finally to its
being rescinded.2
11.1.2: Population Issues in Developed Countries
Compared with the developing world, Europe has always had a
smaller population. Among the reasons for this disparity are:
1. Europe was settled by humans who migrated from Africa into
Asia. In other words, it started out with a smaller population.
2. Geography and climate discouraged large numbers of people
from settling in Europe.
3. Confronted with overpopulation, Europe was able to conquer,
colonize, and settle in North America, South America, parts of
Africa, parts of Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
The Industrial Revolution and scientific advances in agriculture
made Europeans prosperous and diminished the need to have
large families.
Europe is faced with the spread of subreplacement fertility
regimes: that is, patterns of childbearing that would eventually
result in indefinite population decline. The sharpest dip in
population is in Russia. Widespread environmental problems,
alcohol poisoning, sexually transmitted diseases, and an
abortion rate that is twice as high as live births have combined
to decrease Russia’s population by roughly 700,000 each year.
If current demographic trends continue, Russia will see its
current population of 140.4 million drop precipitously to 100
million in forty to fifty years.3 Such long-range predictions are
often highly speculative and turn out to be inaccurate.
Nevertheless, it is clear that Russia is going through a
population implosion. Though immigration has slowed the
decline of Western Europe’s populations, immigration levels are
not high enough to alter the demographic realities. The United
States, Canada, and Australia are actually gaining population
largely due to increased immigration and rising fertility rates.
As Table 11.1 shows, by 2010, the median age in the United
States reached 36.6, compared to 43.3 in Italy and 44.3 in
Germany, due to the rapid growth in the number of the elderly
and the subreplacement problem. Three major reasons account
for Europe’s aging societies:
1. Life expectancy has climbed due to medical advancements, a
healthier environment, improved nutrition, and greater concerns
about safety and public health.
2. The huge baby boom generation of the 1940s and 1950s is
now entering middle age and moving into the old-age category.
3. Declining fertility rates, below the replacement rate, increase
the proportion of the population that is old.
America’s aging population, while growing, will comprise a
smaller percentage of the overall population because of the
number of young immigrants and higher fertility rates. Japan
faces not only an aging population but also subreplacement
fertility rates.
Developed countries face many challenges that require the
implementation of difficult and controversial strategies. These
strategies include the following:
1. Substantially increasing immigration to offset declining
fertility rates
2. Postponing or abandoning retirement

most

The implications of these changes are far reaching. Significant
tensions within rich countries over such strategies are already
evident in many European countries.11.2: Global Migration
1. 11.2 Recall the types, causes, and gender roles of global
migration
Migration—the movement of people from one place to
another—is an integral component of human behavior. Our
ancestors moved out of curiosity and a sense of adventure; to
find food, to search for better grazing and agricultural lands; to
seek protection from adversaries; to conquer land for new
settlements; and to obtain religious, political, social, and
economic freedoms. Contemporary migration is rooted in the
earlier periods of political, military, economic, and financial
globalization that we discussed in Chapter 1. Migration includes
the movement of people within a country’s geographical
boundaries as well as movement across national boundaries.
People who migrate fall into several categories. A migrant is a
person who moves from one country or area to another country
or location. Migrants often move from one part of a country to
another location within that country. The broad category of
migrant is subdivided into refugees, displaced persons, and
immigrants. Refugees are essentially migrants who live outside
their country and are unable or unwilling to return because of
documented cases of persecution or a well-founded fear of
persecution. Historically and today, conflicts, famine, natural
disasters, and political, religious, and economic oppression have
been dominant factors contributing to the creation of refugees.
Refugees who attempt to obtain permanent residence in the
country to which they fled are referred to as asylum seekers.
The immigration laws of most countries distinguish asylum
seekers from other categories of migrants and generally grant
them preferential treatment, in accordance with international
law. A displaced person is someone who has been forced to
leave his or her home because of violence, conflict, persecution,
or natural disaster but has not crossed an international border.
Many displaced people eventually cross national boundaries,
thereby becoming refugees. An immigrant is someone who goes
to a foreign country to become a permanent resident. Most
migration occurs in a relatively limited geographical area,
despite growing transcontinental migration (i.e., the movement
of people from one continent to another).11.2.1: Gender and
Migration
Men are more likely than women to migrate under ordinary
circumstances. There are several reasons for this. Who migrates
is determined to a large extent by the requirements imposed by
countries, companies, or individuals who need labor. Much of
the work to be done is culturally defined as work for men. Large
numbers of men from Turkey, North Africa, and the Caribbean
migrated to Germany, France, and Britain, respectively, after
World War II to help rebuild these countries. Men throughout
the world have been recruited to work in industry, construction,
and mining. Cultural norms and sex roles within sending
countries also determine whether men are more likely than
women to migrate. Gender roles also influence men to migrate
in search of employment. Men are generally perceived as
breadwinners in most countries, whereas women are viewed as
being responsible for taking care of the home. Economic
development and greater access to education for women change
cultural views of gender roles and provide more employment
opportunities for women. Demographic changes and greater
employment opportunities for women in developed countries are
transforming gender migration. Women migrate to rich societies
to work in factories, tourism, education, hospitals, businesses,
and private homes. As more women work outside the home in
rich countries, more women from poor countries are hired to do
domestic work.11.2.2: Types of Migration
Although migration, as a contemporary global issue, is often
thought of primarily as movement from developing countries to
rich countries, far more common is the movement of people
within countries and from one country to another within a
particular geographical or cultural region. Regional migration is
fueled by increasing economic opportunities in a country or
group of neighboring countries. For example, people in North
Africa move to Spain, France, and Italy to find employment,
and people from Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, and
Lesotho have migrated to South Africa to work in mining and
other industries. Rural-to-urban migration is the dominant
pattern of migration in both rich and poor countries. Many rural
areas across the United States are losing population as residents
seek better opportunities in urban areas. Much of the migration
in the developing world is from rural areas to cities. Rural-to-
rural migration (i.e., the movement of people from one rural
area to another) is common in many parts of the world, despite
the relatively limited economic opportunities found in most
small towns or agricultural areas. Many migrants follow the
planting, cultivation, and harvesting of various crops. Urban-to-
urban migration is common in most countries. Families and
individuals move from one city to another to find employment,
to pursue a college degree, or to be in a culturally dynamic area.
Urban-to-rural migration is usually designed to encourage the
economic development of the countryside and to relieve
population pressures on urban centers. Brazil, China, Indonesia,
and Nigeria are countries that have used this strategy. Another
type of migration is seasonal migration. People often move from
one area to another because of the seasonal demand for labor.
Agricultural industries often demand more labor at certain times
of the year than at others. Harvesting fruit, sugarcane, coffee,
and other crops requires intensive labor for a short period of
time. Seasonal migration is also driven by other industries such
as tourism.
Another type of migration is transit migration. In this case,
those seeking to enter a specific country pass through another
country or stay there temporarily. For example, migrants use
Mexico as a transit point for illegal entry into the United States.
Visiting Mexico’s main immigration detention center, you see
migrants from Ecuador, India, Cuba, China, Albania, Russia,
Ukraine, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and
other countries. Similarly, migrants attempting to enter Western
Europe use countries such as Italy, Greece, Bosnia, Croatia,
Serbia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic as
transit points. Many migrants also stop temporarily in Europe
on their way to the United States and Canada. Within Europe,
France is used as a transit point for migrants attempting to enter
Britain to take advantage of its asylum policies.
Forced and induced migration is an integral component of
human history. Various minorities have been routinely expelled
from countries because of political, social, ethnic, and religious
differences. The Spanish crown forced Jews to leave Spain in
1492; Africans were forcibly removed from their homeland and
enslaved in the Americas, the Middle East, and other parts of
the world; and the Cuban and Chinese governments have used
forced migration to achieve various political and economic
objectives.4 Another type of migration—one that is becoming
common in an age of globalization—is return migration. For
example, many American citizens retain meaningful ties with
another country. Throughout history, some migrants have
returned to the places they left. In the late nineteenth century,
roughly a third of European migrants to the United States were
returning after a few years. Immigrants from Southern Europe,
particularly Italy, were most likely to return after saving enough
money to build homes, start small businesses, or buy farms.
This trend of migration was strengthened by the relative
newness of migration from Southern Europe and by declining
transportation costs and faster and more reliable means of
transportation. Economic success in the new country also
motivates people to return to their country of origin. India and
China, for example, encourage return migration to assist
economic development. The global financial crisis slowed
economic growth in Europe and the United States, which
influenced Latin Americans who had migrated to Spain and the
United States to return home.511.2.3: Causes of Migration
Although the causes of migration are diverse and vary from one
individual to another, demographers generally divide them into
two categories: namely, push factors and pull factors.6Push
factors are negative developments and circumstances that
motivate or force people to leave their homes. These include
widespread abuses of fundamental human rights, political
oppression, forced resettlement programs and expulsion, high
levels of violence and endemic political instability, rapid
population growth, high rates of unemployment, poverty,
natural and environmental disasters, the relative lack of
educational and cultural opportunities, globalization, and
discrimination that excludes specific groups and individuals
from competition for resources and power. Pull factors are
positive developments and circumstances in other areas or
countries that attract people away from their homes. These
include economic opportunities, higher wages, political and
cultural freedom and stability, a comparatively healthy
environment, educational and cultural opportunities, and family
reunification.
11.3: Push Factors
1. 11.3 Identify the push factors of migration
Widespread abuses of fundamental human rights, discussed
in Chapter 3, have traditionally pushed people from their
homes. The United States was settled by many individuals who
were deprived of basic human rights. Many Jews, political
dissidents, homosexuals, and others fled Nazi Germany because
of the government’s systematic and profound violations of the
most basic human rights, including the right to life. During the
Cold War, many Central and Eastern Europeans fled oppression
in the Communist countries. Cubans migrated in large numbers
when Fidel Castro came to power and imposed severe
restrictions on fundamental freedom.
Forced resettlement programs and expulsion are significant push
factors. Governments have both forced and encouraged people
to migrate for several reasons. These include the following
desires:
1. To achieve cultural homogeneity. This is particularly the case
in newly independent countries that were faced with
incompatible ethnic groups living in their artificially
constructed boundaries. Yet, the practice of achieving cultural
homogeneity by expelling people perceived as different has
deep historical roots. Catholic Spain expelled the Jews in the
fifteenth century, and Catholic France expelled
the Huguenots (i.e., French Protestants and followers of John
Calvin) in the sixteenth century.
2. To subdue a region or a people. China’s occupation of Tibet
in 1950 was followed by the mass migration of Han
Chinese settlers. During the Cultural Revolution (1966–
1976), Mao Zedong, China’s leader, sent his Red Guard storm
troopers to subdue Tibet.
3. To evict dissidents and opponents of the government. Fidel
Castro, determined to build a Communist society, influenced
and coerced almost a million people to leave Cuba.
4. To achieve foreign policy objectives. Forced emigration is
sometimes implemented as a component of broader foreign
policy objectives. Governments use forced emigration to exert
pressure on neighboring countries. For example, Castro has used
emigration as an instrument of his foreign policy toward the
United States.
5. To achieve economic and national security
objectives. Several governments have forcibly removed people
from one area of the country to another as part of an overall
economic development or national security strategy.
High levels of violence and political instability are factors that
push people away from home. Declining population growth
rates in rich countries facilitate migration that is driven by high
population growth rates in the developing world. High rates of
unemployment and poverty are widely regarded as dominant and
constant push factors. Natural disasters, environmental
problems, and famines push people away from their homelands
or force them to relocate within their countries.
Globalization and discrimination are also push factors.
Globalization has contributed to the creation of strong economic
regions within, as well as among, countries. Globalization’s
emphasis on economic liberalization, free trade, and diminished
government involvement in the economy has resulted in the
displacement of millions of small farmers in the developing …

Aspects of Negro Life: The Negro in An African Setting, 1934
68
Douglas,
Aspects of Negro Life Series: An Idyll of the Deep South, 1934
In An Idyll of the Deep South, Douglas subverts the myth of the
"happy southern plantation Negro" by flanking the central
theme of the painting-cheerful and contented African Americans
singing, dancing, and playing music-with the images of black
southern reality, the aftermath of a brutal lynching and black
workers toiling in the fields. This reality of racism and
economic hardship is underscored through Douglas's
incorporation of a star and its emanating ray of light in the left-
hand corner of the composition. Although this star has generally
been perceived as a representation of the North Star, in April of
1971, during a conversation with David Driskell, Douglas
revealed that in fact the star was his version of the red star of
Communism. Douglas added that he had included this star in An
Idyll of the Deep South to illustrate the hope held by some
black Harlem intellectuals that true equality might be attained
through the alternative policies of communism and socialism
69
Douglas,
Aspects of Negro Life: From Slavery Through Reconstruction ,
1934
The far right section is comprised of silhouettes symbolizing the
doubt and uncertainty of African American slaves. The trumpet-
playing silhouette depicts the transformation of doubt into the
exultation felt after the reading of the Emancipation
Proclamation of 1863. In this section, Douglas encircled a piece
of paper, which represents the Proclamation and dramatically
emphasizes its importance, as it is this piece of paper that freed
the slaves. The second section embodies the strength of the
Black leaders of the time. The figure standing in the middle is
holding a document and pointing to the Capitol off in the
distance . . . the leader, is undoubtedly urging the free Blacks to
cast their ballots rather than to continue picking cotton as
slaves. Similar to the first section, Douglas highlights the ballot
with circles to display its significance in upholding the rights of
African Americans and the importance of voting itself. The
third section, located on the left of the panel, characterizes the
withdrawal of the Union soldiers from the South and the rise of
white supremacist groups In the background, Douglas uses dull
colors to depict the silhouettes of departing Union soldiers. The
small size of the soldiers compared to the larger white-hooded
figures on horseback signifies the emergence of white
supremacist groups, most notably the Ku Klux Klan.
70
Song of the Towers celebrates the fluorescence of jazz and the
increasing urbanism of African Americans during the first third
of the twentieth century. In the composition, the figure of a
saxophonist stands atop a great cog, recalling the machinery of
the industrialized North, while playing his horn with one hand.
The shoulder pads of his suit indicate his contemporary clothing
while the silhouette of the Statue of Liberty can be made out in
the far background, between the high rise buildings that flank
the musician, firmly placing him in New York City.

Benton, Exterminate!, 1942
(from “The Year of Peril” series)
In the wake of Pearl Harbor, Benton decided to create gigantic
propaganda pictures to be hung in Kansas City's Union Station.
He wanted to jolt ''the milling travelers'' to comprehend the
evils of fascism. Working at breakneck speed, Benton within six
weeks painted eight brutal works of unbridled violence that are
collectively known as the ''Year of Peril'' series: ''Starry Night,''
''Again,'' ''Indifference,'' ''Casualty,'' ''The Sowers,'' ''The
Harvest,'' ''Invasion'' and ''Exterminate!'' Benton had one
overriding objective in mind: to portray America's enemies as
genocidal maniacs.

of American Art, New York, through August 27.Pavel
Tchelitchew was a Russian-born surrealist painter, set designer
and costume designer. He left Russia in 1920, lived in Berlin
from 1921 to 1923, and moved to Paris in 1923. In Paris
Tchelitchew became acquainted with Gertrude Stein and,
through her, the Sitwell and Gorer families. He and Edith
Sitwell had a long-standing close friendship and they
corresponded frequently.His first U.S. show was of his
drawings, along with other artists, at the newly-opened Museum
of Modern Art in 1930. In 1934, he moved from Paris to New
York City with his partner, writer Charles Henri Ford. From
1940 to 1947, he provided illustrations for the Surrealist
magazine View, edited by Ford and writer and film critic Parker
Tyler. His most significant work is the painting Hide and Seek,
painted in 1940ミ 42, and currently on display in the Museum of
Modern Art in New York City. He became a United States
citizen in 1952 and died in Grottaferrata, Italy in
1957.Tchelitchew's early painting was abstract in style,
described as Constructivist and Futurist and influenced by his
study with Aleksandra Ekster in Kiev. After emigrating to Paris
he became associated with the Neoromanticism movement. He
continuously experimented with new styles, eventually
incorporating multiple perspectives and elements of surrealism
and fantasy into his painting. As a set and costume designer, he
collaborated with Serge Diaghliev and George Balanchine,
among others.Among Tchelitchew's well-known paintings are
portraits of Natalia Glasko, Edith Sitwell and Gertrude Stein
and the works Phenomena (1936-1938) and Cache Cache (1940-
1942). He designed sets for Ode (Paris, 1928), L'Errante (Paris,
1933), Nobilissima Visione (London, 1938) and Ondine (Paris,
1939), among other productions.

Piet Mondrian, Broadway Boogie Woogie, 1942-43
11
MoMA Piet Mondrian. Broadway Boogie Woogie. 1942-43
Oil on canvas, 50 x 50" (127 x 127 cm). Mondrian, who had
escaped to New York from Europe after the outbreak of World
War II, delighted in the city's architecture. He was also
fascinated by American jazz, particularly boogie-woogie,
finding its syncopated beat, irreverent approach to melody, and
improvisational aesthetic akin to what he called, in his own
work, the "destruction of natural appearance; and construction
through continuous opposition of pure means—dynamic
rhythm." In this painting, his penultimate, Mondrian replaced
the black grid that had long governed his canvases with
predominantly yellow lines that intersect at points marked by
squares of blue and red. These atomized bands of stuttering
chromatic pulses, interrupted by light gray, create paths across
the canvas suggesting the city's grid, the movement of traffic,
and blinking electric lights, as well as the rhythms of jazz.
Piet Mondrian,
Victory Boogie Woogie, 1942-1944
12
Piet Mondrian, Victory Boogie Woogie, 1942-1944. Oil paint,
pieces of paper and plastic, and black chalk on canvas, 127 x
127 cm, vertical axis 179 cm. On loan from the Netherlands
Institute for Cultural Heritage, Amsterdam. Acquired for the
nation thanks to a gift from the Nederlandsche Bank.
At the time of Mondrianユ s fairly sudden death in early 1944 at
the age of seventy-two, Victory Boogie Woogie was still
unfinished. The lozenge-shaped painting was covered with
loosely attached bits of coloured paper and plastic which
Mondrian was using to try out new emphases and rhythms.
Given the time, he would probably have replaced them by a
rather more regular, painted version of the fragmented visual
rhythms. He never had the chance to do so but, even in this
state, Victory Boogie Woogie is an impressive painting and
provides moving evidence that Mondrian died at the very height
of his creative powers. Its distinctive lozenge shape underlines
the fact that Mondrian was seeking to maximise the spatial
spread of his composition. The interwoven colours and the
rhythm of the fragmented network of lines undoubtedly reflect
the bustle of big-city life in New York. A feast for the
eye Victory Boogie Woogie is a feast for the eye. Blue,
yellow, red and white are interwoven over the entire surface,
fragmented into larger and smaller planes and small blocks of
colour. White is varied by shades of grey, blue by blocks so
dark that they look almost black, and yellow in a couple of
conspicuous places by shades of ochre. Even the red is varied
here and there, though less obviously so. The dynamic of the
composition is based on horizontal and vertical lines, but these
now provide little firm footing. They are, as it were, fragmented
by the small blocks of colour, and are repeatedly doubled,
interrupted before they reach the edge of the canvas and fanned
out. A striking feature is the way smaller and larger elements of
the composition interlock, creating startling syncopations in the
often driving visual rhythms and ensuring that the composition
remains open on every side. Although the title Victory
Boogie Woogie was not invented by Mondrian, it is known that
he saw this painting as a follow-up to his 1942-1943 painting
Broadway Boogie Woogie and that he used the word ヤ Victoryユ
in relation to it. The term Boogie Woogie refers to a new kind
of jazz then popular in New York, in which short melody lines
were interrupted by open rhythmical patterns. Victory
undoubtedly refers to the triumph of a new form of art in a free
world, something in which Mondrian continued to have
unshakeable faith even in the darkest days of the Second World
War.

Marc Chagall, Autour d’Elle, 1945, Beaubourg centre Georges
Pompidou On 2 September 1944, Bella died suddenly due to a
virus infection, which was not treated due to the wartime
shortage of medicine. As a result, he stopped all work for many
months, and when he did resume painting his first pictures were
concerned with preserving Bella's memory.[14] Wullschlager
writes of the effect on Chagall: "As news poured in through
1945 of the ongoing Holocaust at Nazi concentration camps,
Bella took her place in Chagall's mind with the millions of
Jewish victims." He even considered the possibility that their
"exile from Europe had sapped her will to live.

SURREALISM, noun, masc., Pure psychic automatism by which
it is intended to express, either verbally or in writing, the true
function of thought. Thought dictated in the absence of all
control exerted by reason, and outside all aesthetic or moral
preoccupations.
ENCYCL. Philos. Surrealism is based on the belief in the
superior reality of certain forms of association heretofore
neglected, in the omnipotence of the dream, and in the
disinterested play of thought. It leads to the permanent
destruction of all other psychic mechanisms and to its
substitution for them in the solution of the principal problems
of life.
André Breton, “First Surrealist
Manifesto,” 1924
The first Surrealist manifesto was written by Breton and
released to the public in 1924. The document defines Surrealism
as:
"Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to
express — verbally, by means of the written word, or in any
other manner — the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by
the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason,
exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern."

Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism exhibition at The Museum of
Modern Art (1936)
Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism, The Museum of Modern Art’s
first exhibition to focus on Dada, was organized by founding
director Alfred H. Barr, Jr., in 1936. It was the most
comprehensive presentation of Dada works since the Dadaists’
own exhibitions. It was also the first to be organized by a
nonparticipant and the first to present Dada as a historical
movement. The exhibition was rife with controversy and
provoked fierce reactions from battling factions among the
Dadaists and the Surrealists. For example, Tristan Tzara, a
leader of the Dada movement and one of the exhibition’s most
important lenders, threatened to forbid Barr from exhibiting his
loans when he learned that the exhibition’s title had been
changed from The Fantastic in Art to include Surrealism and
that the French Surrealist André Breton was to write the
catalogue preface. For their part, Breton and French Surrealist
poet Paul Éluard disapproved of the final format of the
exhibition; they wanted it to be an official Surrealist
“manifestation.” Critical response to the exhibition was mixed.
In 1937, when the show circulated around the country, lender
Katherine Dreier withdrew her artworks and feuded with Barr
over his inclusion of works by children and “the insane,” and A.
Conger Goodyear, President of the Museum’s board of trustees,
requested that other items be removed.

Marguerite "Peggy" Guggenheim (August 26, 1898 – December
23, 1979) was an American art collector, bohemian and
socialite. Born to a wealthy New York City family, she was the
daughter of Benjamin Guggenheim, who went down with the
Titanic in 1912, and the niece of Solomon R. Guggenheim, who
would establish the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Peggy
Guggenheim created a noted art collection in Europe and
America primarily between 1938 and 1946. She exhibited this
collection as she built it and, in 1949, settled in Venice, where
she lived and exhibited her collection for the rest of her life.

A few days before the Germans reached Paris, Peggy
Guggenheim had to abandon her plans for a Paris museum, and
fled to the south of France, from where, after months of
safeguarding her collection and artist friends, she left Europe
for New York in the summer of 1941. There, in the following
year, she opened a new gallery which actually was in part a
museum. It was called The Art of This Century Gallery. Three
of the four galleries were dedicated to Cubist and Abstract art,
Surrealism and Kinetic art, with only the fourth, the front room,
being a commercial gallery.

Museum of Non-Objective Painting,
East 54th Street, New York
1939-1947
This installation is based upon the galleries of the original
Museum of Non-Objective Painting, which Solomon R.
Guggenheim and Hilla Rebay, his personal curator and the
museum's first director, opened on East 54th Street in
Manhattan in 1939. The spaces of the former automobile
showroom had been transformed by architect William
Muschenheim under Rebay's direction. Rebay, who was also a
painter, believed passionately in abstract painting's spiritual
power. Thus, she set out to create an environment for art that
would allow its metaphysical qualities to be best experienced.
Quite unlike the Museum of Modern Art, whose collections and
new International Style building emphasized the relationship
between Modern art and society, the Museum of Non-Objective
Painting reflected Rebay's desire to create a setting that would
make visitors feel as though they had entered another world.
The interior walls and windows of the museum were covered in
pleated gray velour, shutting out the exterior world. Paintings
were set like altarpieces in wide, gilded frames and hung as low
as a few inches from the floor, which forced viewers to orient
themselves to the artworks positions. To enhance her vision of a
temple for modern painting, Rebay played classical music on a
phonograph, which echoed throughout the museum. In 1947, the
museum moved to a townhouse at 1071 Fifth Avenue. That
building was demolished when construction began in 1956 for
the new museum which by that time had been renamed the
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank Lloyd
Wright.

Dali, Lobster Telephone, 1936
Dali Lobster Telephone 1936 The aspect of paranoia that Dalí
was interested in and which helped inspire the method was the
ability of the brain to perceive links between things which
rationally are not linked. Dalí described the paranoiac-critical
method as a "spontaneous method of irrational knowledge based
on the critical and systematic objectivity of the associations and
interpretations of delirious phenomena."
Employing the method when creating a work of art uses an
active process of the mind to visualize images in the work and
incorporate these into the final product. An example of the
resulting work is a double image or multiple image in which an
ambiguous image can be interpreted in different ways.André
Breton (by way of Guy Mangeot) hailed the method, saying that
Dalí's paranoiac-critical method was an "instrument of primary
importance" and that it "has immediately shown itself capable
of being applied equally to painting, poetry, the cinema, the
construction of typical Surrealist objects, fashion, sculpture, the
history of art, and even, if necessary, all manner of
exegesis."[1]

merges into the earthy tones of a Spanish landscape in the

the apple balanced on the head of the male figure, which refers
to the legend of William Tell, in which a father is forced to

With its flair for detail as gruesome as it is meticulous,
Salvador Dalí's Surrealist painting style might well have been
invented for the depiction of the unique horrors of the Spanish
Civil War. This painting, however, is one of only a handful in
which Dalí turned his attention to the tragedy that beset his
homeland on July 17, 1936, when General Francisco Franco led
a military coup d'état against the democratically elected Popular
Front government. The artist's savage vision of his country as a
decomposing figure tearing itself apart preceded the outbreak of
the Spanish Civil War and thus prophetically foretold the
atrocities committed during this bloody conflict.

Kane's 1929 Selfミ Portrait is considered one of the artist's
masterpieces. The portrait is both a shockingly realistic
depiction of the male bodyム veins, chest hair, and allム and an
object meant for decorative display, with a frame indicated
around the image edges and painted arches defining the figure's
head. Like other selfミ taught artists in this exhibition, Kane
produced most of his work in a concentrated period of timeム the
last seven years of his life.
In 1891, while he was walking along the B&O railroad tracks,
an engine running without its lights struck down Kane, severing
his left leg 5ハ inches below the knee. He was fitted with an
artificial limb, and his disability landed him a new job with the
B&O as a watchman. He was a watchman for eight
years.[edit]Begins as a painterHe left his watchman job to paint
steel railroad cars at the Pressed Steel Car Company in McKees
Rocks, Pennsylvania, on the Ohio River just south of downtown
Pittsburgh. He began to draw on the side of railroad cars on his
lunch hour to "fill in the colors". His sketched landscapes
disappeared after lunch beneath the standard, solid color of the
railroad car paint. For a short time he tried to earn money by
enlarging and tinted photographs for working-class
families.Kane had married Maggie Halloran in 1897 at St.
Mary's Catholic Church in downtown Pittsburgh. The death of
an infant son in 1904 led him into a vortex of drinking and
depression, which caused long periods of wandering, during
which he worked as an itinerant house painter and carpenter. In
Akron, Ohio in 1910 he first began to do pictorial paintings on
discarded boards from construction sites. By the end of World
War I, Kane was again in Pittsburgh, where he spent the
remainder of his life. He remained separated from his wife and
children.In both 1925 and 1926 he submitted paintings to the
Carnegie Internationals sponsored by the Carnegie Museum of
Art, but the works were rejected. The next year, however, Kane
found a champion in painterミ juror Andrew Dasburg, who
persuaded the jury to accept Kaneユ s Scene in the Scottish
Highlands (Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh).[2] The story of the
untrained 67-year-old painter's success was trumpeted by the
newspapers. The publicity around the show came to the notice
of Kane's wife, who was living in West Virginia, and with
whom he'd lost contact for over ten years. They reconciled and
remained together during the last years of his life.When it was
discovered that he had painted over discarded photographic
images, purely for financial reasons, he was hounded by
newspapers and unsuccessful artists who claimed him a sham.
Kane continued to paint his primitive landscapes and self-
portraits, including his famous Self-portrait (1929) in the
collection of MoMA, New York. He had his first New York one-
man show in 1931.John Kane died of tuberculosis on August 10,
1934 and is interred at Pittsburgh's Roman Catholic Calvary
Cemetery.

Four Seasons Restaurant
The artist Mark Rothko was engaged to paint a series of works
for the restaurant in 1958. Accepting the commission, he
secretly resolved to create "something that will ruin the appetite
of every son-of-a-bitch who ever eats in that room." Observing
the restaurant's pretentious atmosphere upon his return from a
trip to Europe, Rothko abandoned the project altogether,
returned his advance and kept the paintings for himself. The
final series was dispersed and now hangs in three locations:
London’s Tate Gallery, Japan’s Kawamura Memorial Museum
and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.[6] During
the period in which Rothko worked on his murals, the Four
Seasons rented Jackson Pollock's masterpiece Blue Poles from
its then-owner, art collector Ben Heller.[7][8] John Logan's
Tony Award-winning 2010 play Red dramatizes Rothko's time
working on the Seagram Murals.

Rothko, The Seagram Murals, 1958
(Tate Modern, London)
Rothko room at Tate Modern. Rothko never devised a ‘final’
scheme for The Four Seasons restaurant. His studio assistant,
Dan Rice, recalls that Rothko ‘was very reflective, gathering all
the paintings together again and jumbling them up. It would be
very difficult to say that one was intended as part of the murals
and one was not’. Rather than speculate about the scheme for
the Four Seasons, the murals are presented here as Rothko’s
first series, in which each work from its very inception enters
into a direct dialogue with its counterparts. Within a
comparatively narrow compositional scheme, Rothko
experimented with varying permutations of the floating ‘frame’
and its background, different surface treatments and the use of
vibrant and sombre colour.
Though The Four Seasons offered space for only seven murals,
Rothko eventually executed thirty canvases. For his
retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1961
he identified five of these as Mural Sections 2–5 and Mural
Section 7. These are displayed here in consecutive order. The
other canvases on view are similar in format and degree of
finish, the only exception being the two narrow landscape
formats which were originally intended to be hung above the
dining room’s folding doors.

Sotheyby’s 11/8/2008: 2, 250,000.00
Judy Garland was and is the high priestess of gay culture, the
queen diva of all time. Her inclusion in this and other combines
of the period (like Bantam of 1954) (Fig. 6) directly alludes for
the first time in Rauschenberg's work to his identification as a
gay man...What references there are to gay culture tend to be
complex and indirect. For example, "Bantam" includes a team
portrait of the New York Yankees spattered with Abstract
Expressionist paint which is then juxtaposed with delicate
fabric swatches, a nineteenth-century nude odalisque staring at
herself in a mirror, and another autographed photo of Judy
Garland. While the presence of Garland alone was curious
enough, the reference was coupled with a peculiar title.
According to Webster's Dictionary, "bantam" means "a small
but aggressive or pugnacious person; 2. any of several breeds of
small fowl in which the male is often a good fighter; 3. a boxer
or wrestler weighing between 113 and 118 pounds." In short,
bantam refers to an over-wrought, overacted masculinity--a kind
of nervous overcompensation for a perceived lack. Here the
gestural paint splashed over the Yankees photo, coupled with a
curious title, seems to deliver a highly coded, campy indictment
of Abstract Expressionism and its self-conscious and
exaggerated masculinity. Such a reading is reinforced by the
odalisque looking at herself in a mirror, and the star photograph
of Judy Garland.

RR & JJ

When they finally split up in 1961, the after-effects were so
powerful that both artists left New York for their native South,
changed their pictorial styles radically, and neither saw nor
spoke to one another for a decade or more (Fig. 1) Given the
intensity of this relationship, it comes as something of a shock
to realize that Johns has never spoken of it, and Rauschenberg
has addressed it but a few times, and then only cursorily. His
most open and direct acknowledgment of his life with Johns
occurs in the following interview:RR: I'm not frightened of the
affection that Jasper and I had, both personally and as working
artists. I don't see any sin or conflict in those days when each of
us was the most important person in the other's life.Interviewer:
Can you tell me why you parted ways?RR: Embarrassment about
being well known.Interviewer: Embarrassment about being
famous?RR: Socially. What had been tender and sensitive
became gossip. It was sort of new to the art world that the two
most well-known, up and coming studs were affectionately
involved.While to a greater or lesser degree both artists have
resisted further elaborations on this relationship, their art offers
a number of interesting clues.. and Johns cultivated their most
lasting contributions to American art. And it is because of this
joint opposition, and the work it generated, that they have been
branded a two-person movement.Most critics agree that Johns
and Rauschenberg's finest work grew out of the period between
1954 and 1961, a time of intense emotional involvement during
which they searched together for an alternative to Abstract
Expressionist picturemaking. Rauschenberg once remarked of
this moment, "We gave each other permission." The statement
demands to be taken seriously both in terms of constraints on
artistic innovation and constraints on homosexual desire, for in
the lives of these men, as we shall see, the two were correlated.
It was winter of 1953 when Rauschenberg first met Jasper
Johns, although both had moved to New York in 1949.
Rauschenberg, who was born in 1925 and grew up in Port
Arthur, Texas, arrived after two years' draft in the navy and
four more years trying out various art schools from Kansas City
to Paris to North Carolina. Johns, born in 1930, moved to New
York from his native South Carolina in order to attend
commercial art school, but his story was interrupted by the draft
and he spent two years in the army, returning to the city in
1952. He got a job at the Marboro bookstore, unsure of whether
he was working toward becoming a poet or a painter. Visiting at
Black Mountain College, North Carolina, he was introduced to
Rauschenberg by a mutual friend, the artist and art writer Suzi
Gablik, who had known Rauschenberg at school. They met again
later at an artist's party and struck up a friendship.
Rauschenberg and Johns began to see more of one another.
Rauschenberg convinced Johns to quit his job at the bookstore
and join him in doing window designs for department stores.
They worked together under the name Matson-Jones, and they
were quite successful. In 1955, Rauschenberg moved from his
Fulton Street studio into John's building on Pearl Street and
then they moved together again to a space on Front St.
Rauschenberg, Bed, 1955
“Painting relates to both art and life. [Neither can be made.] I
try to act in that gap between the two.” (1959)
32
RR Bed, 1955Bed is one of Rauschenberg’s first “combines,”
the artist’s term for his technique of attaching found objects,
such as tires or old furniture, to a traditional canvas support. In
this work, he took a well-worn pillow, sheet, and quilt,
scribbled on them with pencil, and splashed them with paint in a
style similar to that of Abstract Expressionist “drip” painter
Jackson Pollock. Legend has it that these are Rauschenberg’s
own pillow and blanket, which he used when he could not afford
to buy a new canvas. Hung on the wall like a traditional
painting, his bed, still made, becomes a sort of intimate self-
portrait consistent with Rauschenberg’s assertion that “painting
relates to both art and life…[and] I try to act in that gap
between the two.”

  • 3. Edward Hopper: The Paris YearsFebruary 22 - June 1, 2003ハ Edward Hopper was the J.D. Salinger of American painters, an extremely private man who granted few interviews. Much of what scholars know about his work comes from his wife Jo Nivison-Hopper's journals. Edward Hopper: The Paris Years, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art of New York, provides a tantalizing look at the early work of one of America's best known figurative painters. The exhibition of 45 paintings and 10 works on paper opens at Charlotte, NC's Mint Museum of Art on February 22 and runs through June 1, 2003. (left: Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Steps in Paris, 1906, oil on wood, 13 x 9 3/16 inches, Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, from a 1970 bequest from Josephine N. Hopper)Hopper said little about even his most accomplished paintings, believing the work should speak for itself. Scholars have been left to speculate on influences on his career, from his realist art instructors Robert Henri, William Merritt Chase andKenneth Hayes Miller at the New York School of Art to the psychological reaction of a young man raised in a small town coming to grips with isolation and loss of community in the urban modern age that was New York City at the turn of the century. The answer may be found in Paris, in verse rather than on canvas. (right: Edward Hopper (1882- 1967), Notre Dame, No. 2, 1907, oil on canvas, 23 1/2 x 28 3/4 inches, Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, from a 1970 bequest from Josephine N. Hopper)Edward Hopper's early talent for drawing and painting was encouraged by his mother Elizabeth. The family's middle class concern for his future financial security influenced Edward to attend The New York School of Illustrating before transferring to the New York School of Art. Hopper would work more than fifteen years as a commercial illustrator, work that he despised. His skill at painting watercolors, however, is attributed to the years spent as an illustrator. He was able to master strokes with the brush and had a remarkable eye for being able to adjust a composition to where it would have the
  • 4. most immediate anddramatic impact on the viewer.After six years of study at the New York School of Art, Hopper left for France in October, 1906. His Paris studies coincided with an exciting era in the history of the Modern movement. Hopper, however, was untouched by Fauvist and Cubist art popular at the time, continuing instead to follow his own artistic course. (left: Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Le Pont des Arts, 1907, oil on canvas, 23 7/16 x 28 3/4 inches, Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, from a 1970 bequest from Josephine N. Hopper)"I've heard of Gertrude Stein, but I don't remember having heard of Picasso at all," stated Hopper. "Paris had no great or immediate impact on me." Then again, Hopper later admits, "America seemed awfully crude and raw when I got back. It took me ten years to get over Europe."In Europe, Hopper also visited London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels and Spain. The painting that left the greatest impression on him was Rembrandt's The Night Watch as did the work of painters Diego Velasquez, Francisco de Goya, Honore Daumier and Edouard Manet. (right: Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Le Bistro or The Wine Shop, 1909, oil on canvas, 23 3/8 x 28 1/2 inches, Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, from a 1970 bequest from Josephine N. Hopper)Hopper's palette in Paris brightened considerably from the previous sober New York paintings as seen in Le Quai des Grands Augustins (1909) and Le Pavillon de Flore (1909). In a few examples, such as Gateway and Fence (1907) and Le Parc de Saint Cloud (1907), he employs Impressionist techniques. He remained committed to realism and exhibited some of the basic characteristics that he was to retain throughout his career: compositional style based on simple, large geometric forms, flat masses of color and the use of architectural elements in his scenes for their strong verticals, horizontals and diagonals. Hopper's early Paris work favored the depiction of small streets (Rivers and Buildings, 1907), architectural elements (Steps in Paris, 1906) and interiors (Stairway at 48 rue de Lille, Paris, 1906).While Modern painting failed to impress the young American, the
  • 5. "poet of modern civilization" did. Hopper discovered the poetry and critical writing of Charles-Pierre Baudelaire (1821 - 1867) whose formulation of his aesthetic theory served as the inspiration for the Symbolist movement away from painting by observation to an expression of more subjective intellectual and emotional visions. Hopper was to read and recite Baudelaire's work throughout his life. The two men shared interests in solitude, in city life, in modernity, in the solace of the night and in places of travel. (left: Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Le Pavillon de Flore, 1909, oil on canvas, 23 3/4 x 28 3/4 inches, Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, from a 1970 bequest from Josephine N. Hopper)Baudelaire's feelings for Paris, for the teeming modern city and his compassion for the failures and outcasts in its streets expressed in Le Spleen de Paris, is a forerunner to Hopper's dominant theme of disconnect in 20th century America. Hopper's figures in his mature work seem far from home, they sit or stand alone, looking at a letter on the edge of a hotel bed or drinking alone in a bar or gazing out the window of a moving train. Their faces arevulnerable and introspective, adrift in transient places.Hopper's personality was perfectly suited to the paintings he produced. His realistic depictions of everyday urban scenes allowed viewers to identify with the images and situation in a personal manner. His emphasis on blunt shapes and angles and the stark play of light and shadow had the power to shock viewers into recognition of the strangeness of familiar surroundings.

Hopper)Edward Hopper was 43 years old before painting what is generally acknowledged to be his first fully mature picture, The House by the Railroad, in 1925. His deliberate, disciplined spareness combined apparently incompatible qualities."Modern in bleakness and simplicity, his Parisian was nostalgic in his fondness for 19th century architecture," noted Mint Museum

In a 1904 article titled “A Plea for Straight Photography,” Hartmann bemoaned the excessive handwork and painterly flourishes that characterized much of what he saw in Pictorialist photography, arguing, “We expect an etching to look like an etching, and a lithograph to look like a lithograph, why then should not a photographic print look like a photographic print?” 35 Stieglitz: “There were men and women and children on the lower deck of the steerage. There was a narrow stairway leading to the upper deck of the steerage, a small deck right on the bow of the steamer. To the left was an inclining funnel and from the upper steerage deck there was fastened a gangway bridge that was glistening in its freshly painted state. It was rather long, white, and during the trip remained untouched by anyone.On the upper deck, looking over the railing, there was a young man with a straw hat. The shape of the hat was round. He was watching the men and women and children on the lower steerage deck…A round straw hat, the funnel leaning left, the stairway leaning right, the white drawbridge with its railing made of circular chains – white suspenders crossing on the back of a man in the steerage below, round shapes of iron machinery, a mast cutting into the sky, making a triangular shape…I saw shapes related to each other. I saw a picture of shapes and underlying that the feeling I had about life." Stieglitz, The Steerage, 1907 36 "

Residents of Guangdong Province looked at a propaganda billboard for the policy. However, after more than 35 years, the one-child policy was rescinded in October 2015 after its long-term demographic and economic implications caused many to question it.

Hunger, inequality, ethnic conflicts, environmental degradation, sustainable development, the treatment of women, global security, economic development, trade, poverty, democratization, human rights concerns—all aspects of globalization are intertwined with population. To a large extent, population factors will determine the future of humanity and the world. Rapid population growth is a silent threat to both human and global security, making it as grave a concern as the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Demographic disparities among countries generally influence the distribution of economic, military, and political power among states. For example, France dominated continental Europe for a long time partly because of its relatively large population, although Britain used its geographic location and its navy to counter French power. America’s growing population is likely to consolidate its power, whereas Europe’s aging and declining population is likely to diminish its power in the global system. Russia’s population decline has contributed to its loss of power globally. Population growth in the developing world is helping shift economic and political power to emerging market economy countries.1 Migration makes population issues an even more pressing global concern. Each wave of globalization has been accompanied by migration. The movement of capital, technology, and products across national boundaries is inseparable from the migration of people. The current period of globalization is marked by an unprecedented movement of people around the world. The
  • 15. creation of global institutions and the globalization of human rights and democracy have facilitated migration as well as given rise to a global human rights regime that protects migrants, independent of their nationality. This chapter focuses on population growth and its global implications. The different kinds of migrants and migrations are discussed. The pressure on Western Europe due to migration from Africa and the Middle East, and the possible effects from the November 13, 2015 terrorist attack on Paris, are also noted in this chapter. The role of gender in migration, rural-to-urban migration, transcontinental migration, forced migration, refugees, reform migration, and the global smuggling of immigrants are all examined. The causes of migration are as old as human civilization. After analyzing them, we will look at case studies that illustrate the dynamics of global—as opposed to regional and internal—migration. The chapter concludes with a case study of global aging and pensions. 11.1: Population 1. 11.1 Evaluate the causes as well as negative consequences of high and low population growth rates At the heart of population as a global issue is the extent to which population growth threatens the Earth’s carrying capacity. Overpopulation (i.e., too many people living in an area that has inadequate resources to support them) has been a global preoccupation for centuries. Population problems must be seen in the context of consumption. In this context, the population of the developed world, which consumes much, is seen as a bigger problem for the world’s resources than the population of the developing world, which consumes little. Often, population problems can be avoided if population growth remains stable, assuming that resources are also carefully managed. The rate at which the population remains relatively stable is referred to as the replacement rate. To achieve this, fertility rates must average 2.1 children per couple. Migration influences the replacement rate, population growth, and population decline.
  • 16. Thomas Malthus (1766–1834), an English economist, sociologist, and pioneer in demographics, wrote An Essay on the Principle of Population in 1798. In it, he argued that because population increases by a geometrical ratio and food supplies increase by an arithmetical ratio, the world would have high rates of population growth and suffer from poverty and starvation. The widespread practice of family planning and technological and scientific revolutions in food production, transportation, and storage essentially rendered these dire predictions false. The invention of genetically modified crops and other agricultural scientific breakthroughs further challenge Malthus’s argument. However, food shortages and higher prices, due partly to the use of corn to produce biofuels, complicate the discussion on food and population. High population growth remains a serious threat to most developing countries and, as we discussed in Chapter 9, frustrates efforts to reduce global poverty and economic inequality. Malthus was concerned about the Earth’s carrying capacity. Carrying capacity refers to the maximum number of humans or animals a given area can support without creating irreversible destruction of the environment and, eventually, humans and animals themselves. Combined with fervent nationalism and a perception that survival itself is at stake, population pressures often result in military conflict. The Palestinian-Israeli struggle is an example of how demographic changes are perceived as determining destiny. Jews now comprise roughly 50.5 percent of the population in Israel and the Palestinian territories. By 2020, the proportion of Jews will decline to 42.1 percent, whereas the Palestinians, who now make up 44.3 percent of the population, will see their share of the population grow to 52 percent. The birthrate for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza is 40 for every 1,000 people. The birthrate for Palestinians in Israel is 36 per 1,000 people. Compare this with a birthrate for Jews of 18.3 per 1,000, and you will see why demographic changes are perceived as threats to Israel’s security. 11.1.1: Population Issues in Developing Countries
  • 17. Most developing countries have high population growth rates and suffer from vast differences in income. Inadequate education, low rates of contraception usage, cultural norms that value large families and male virility, the need for labor in subsistence economies, and the need to have children to support parents are some of the reasons population growth is higher in poorer countries. Most of the countries with the largest populations and the highest growth rates are in the developing world. Roughly 97 percent of the increase in the global population is occurring in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, with the more prosperous countries in these regions experiencing declining growth rates. Industrialized countries, on the other hand, are experiencing declining growth rates and even depopulation in some cases. In India, more than 400 million people—roughly the combined populations of the United States and Britain—live in dire poverty and are illiterate. Nonetheless, the population in India grows by about three people a minute, or two thousand an hour, or forty-eight thousand per day. In other words, the growth of India’s population each day is equivalent to that of a medium- sized American city. By 2025, India is projected to surpass China as the world’s most populous country, with about 1.5 billion people, compared with China’s 1.4 billion people. China and India alone account for one out of every three children added to the global population. Problems arising from rapid population growth have influenced governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and women to take action to limit population growth. It is generally agreed that women’s level of education strongly influences fertility rates. Education helps to determine factors that affect population growth rates, such as contraceptive usage, the age of marriage and childbearing, social status and self-perception, and employment opportunities outside of the home and residence. An interesting development is the declining birthrates in Brazil, Mexico, Bangladesh, India, the Philippines, Iran, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Egypt, where poverty and illiteracy remain
  • 18. serious and pervasive problems. Even women who are less educated have become more assertive about their reproductive choices. Factors influencing this change include economic and cultural globalization, greater access to education, increasing urbanization, the declining influence of religion on women’s reproductive lives, greater access to medical technologies, and the cumulative effects of satellite television and other media that stress the advantages of having fewer children. Sexism strongly influences population decisions in developing countries. In many societies, tradition supports having large families by praising the fertility of women and the virility of men. The son complex—the preference for having boys instead of girls—influences many parents worldwide to continue having children until a boy is born. Parents, especially mothers, are demeaned in many societies if they do not produce boys. In many traditional South Asian families, a boy is expected to live with his parents, be employed, inherit property, provide financial security for aging parents, and light their funeral pyres. A daughter, by contrast, is widely perceived as a financial and social liability. When she marries, her family is required, by tradition, to provide the bridegroom’s family with a substantial dowry, which can be money, property, or both. Parents often incur significant debt to provide dowries. Sexism also conspires with advanced medical technology to reduce the number of girls in some countries such as India and China. With the use of ultrasound machines to determine the sex of the fetus, many parents often decide to abort female fetuses. India passed a law in 1996 prohibiting medical staff from informing parents of the gender of a fetus, but it appears to be ignored. Based on the predominance of male births, researchers estimate that more than six million girls have been aborted in India since 2000. Those practices plus female infanticide have contributed to a widening divergence in the ratio of females to males in many parts of India and China. China’s one-child policy, initiated in 1979 by Deng Xiao Ping, China’s leader, and rescinded in October 2015, was the most
  • 19. controversial approach to dealing with rapid population growth. China established the state family planning bureau to formulate policies and procedures for enforcing the one-child policy. Family planning committees at the local level, a part of the Communist Party, were responsible for rewarding those who complied with the policy and punishing those who violated it. Those who complied with it received a monthly stipend until the child was fourteen years old and got preferential treatment when applying for housing, education, and health benefits for the child; they were also granted a pension in old age. Those who failed to comply with the one-child policy risked the loss of benefits for the first child, jeopardized their employment with the government, and risked having their property seized. Women often were forced to be sterilized, especially after the birth of a second child. Exceptions to the one-child policy included the following cases: (1) if the first child had a defect; (2) in the case of a remarriage; (3) if couples are involved in certain jobs, such as mining; or (4) if both partners came from families with one child. Demographic and economic implications of the one-child policy influenced more Chinese to question it, leading first to a modification of it and finally to its being rescinded.2 11.1.2: Population Issues in Developed Countries Compared with the developing world, Europe has always had a smaller population. Among the reasons for this disparity are: 1. Europe was settled by humans who migrated from Africa into Asia. In other words, it started out with a smaller population. 2. Geography and climate discouraged large numbers of people from settling in Europe. 3. Confronted with overpopulation, Europe was able to conquer, colonize, and settle in North America, South America, parts of Africa, parts of Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. The Industrial Revolution and scientific advances in agriculture made Europeans prosperous and diminished the need to have large families. Europe is faced with the spread of subreplacement fertility
  • 20. regimes: that is, patterns of childbearing that would eventually result in indefinite population decline. The sharpest dip in population is in Russia. Widespread environmental problems, alcohol poisoning, sexually transmitted diseases, and an abortion rate that is twice as high as live births have combined to decrease Russia’s population by roughly 700,000 each year. If current demographic trends continue, Russia will see its current population of 140.4 million drop precipitously to 100 million in forty to fifty years.3 Such long-range predictions are often highly speculative and turn out to be inaccurate. Nevertheless, it is clear that Russia is going through a population implosion. Though immigration has slowed the decline of Western Europe’s populations, immigration levels are not high enough to alter the demographic realities. The United States, Canada, and Australia are actually gaining population largely due to increased immigration and rising fertility rates. As Table 11.1 shows, by 2010, the median age in the United States reached 36.6, compared to 43.3 in Italy and 44.3 in Germany, due to the rapid growth in the number of the elderly and the subreplacement problem. Three major reasons account for Europe’s aging societies: 1. Life expectancy has climbed due to medical advancements, a healthier environment, improved nutrition, and greater concerns about safety and public health. 2. The huge baby boom generation of the 1940s and 1950s is now entering middle age and moving into the old-age category. 3. Declining fertility rates, below the replacement rate, increase the proportion of the population that is old. America’s aging population, while growing, will comprise a smaller percentage of the overall population because of the number of young immigrants and higher fertility rates. Japan faces not only an aging population but also subreplacement fertility rates. Developed countries face many challenges that require the implementation of difficult and controversial strategies. These strategies include the following:
  • 21. 1. Substantially increasing immigration to offset declining fertility rates 2. Postponing or abandoning retirement Table 11.1 Demographic Contrasts Between Rich and Poor Countries Adapted from UN Development Programme, Human Development Report 2010 (Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK, and New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2010).

Investing more in the education of workers to increase productivity 5. Strengthening intergenerational responsibilities within families 6. Targeting government-paid benefits to those who need them most 7. Requiring workers to invest for their own retirements The implications of these changes are far reaching. Significant tensions within rich countries over such strategies are already evident in many European countries.11.2: Global Migration 1. 11.2 Recall the types, causes, and gender roles of global
  • 23. migration Migration—the movement of people from one place to another—is an integral component of human behavior. Our ancestors moved out of curiosity and a sense of adventure; to find food, to search for better grazing and agricultural lands; to seek protection from adversaries; to conquer land for new settlements; and to obtain religious, political, social, and economic freedoms. Contemporary migration is rooted in the earlier periods of political, military, economic, and financial globalization that we discussed in Chapter 1. Migration includes the movement of people within a country’s geographical boundaries as well as movement across national boundaries. People who migrate fall into several categories. A migrant is a person who moves from one country or area to another country or location. Migrants often move from one part of a country to another location within that country. The broad category of migrant is subdivided into refugees, displaced persons, and immigrants. Refugees are essentially migrants who live outside their country and are unable or unwilling to return because of documented cases of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution. Historically and today, conflicts, famine, natural disasters, and political, religious, and economic oppression have been dominant factors contributing to the creation of refugees. Refugees who attempt to obtain permanent residence in the country to which they fled are referred to as asylum seekers. The immigration laws of most countries distinguish asylum seekers from other categories of migrants and generally grant them preferential treatment, in accordance with international law. A displaced person is someone who has been forced to leave his or her home because of violence, conflict, persecution, or natural disaster but has not crossed an international border. Many displaced people eventually cross national boundaries, thereby becoming refugees. An immigrant is someone who goes to a foreign country to become a permanent resident. Most migration occurs in a relatively limited geographical area, despite growing transcontinental migration (i.e., the movement
  • 24. of people from one continent to another).11.2.1: Gender and Migration Men are more likely than women to migrate under ordinary circumstances. There are several reasons for this. Who migrates is determined to a large extent by the requirements imposed by countries, companies, or individuals who need labor. Much of the work to be done is culturally defined as work for men. Large numbers of men from Turkey, North Africa, and the Caribbean migrated to Germany, France, and Britain, respectively, after World War II to help rebuild these countries. Men throughout the world have been recruited to work in industry, construction, and mining. Cultural norms and sex roles within sending countries also determine whether men are more likely than women to migrate. Gender roles also influence men to migrate in search of employment. Men are generally perceived as breadwinners in most countries, whereas women are viewed as being responsible for taking care of the home. Economic development and greater access to education for women change cultural views of gender roles and provide more employment opportunities for women. Demographic changes and greater employment opportunities for women in developed countries are transforming gender migration. Women migrate to rich societies to work in factories, tourism, education, hospitals, businesses, and private homes. As more women work outside the home in rich countries, more women from poor countries are hired to do domestic work.11.2.2: Types of Migration Although migration, as a contemporary global issue, is often thought of primarily as movement from developing countries to rich countries, far more common is the movement of people within countries and from one country to another within a particular geographical or cultural region. Regional migration is fueled by increasing economic opportunities in a country or group of neighboring countries. For example, people in North Africa move to Spain, France, and Italy to find employment, and people from Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, and Lesotho have migrated to South Africa to work in mining and
  • 25. other industries. Rural-to-urban migration is the dominant pattern of migration in both rich and poor countries. Many rural areas across the United States are losing population as residents seek better opportunities in urban areas. Much of the migration in the developing world is from rural areas to cities. Rural-to- rural migration (i.e., the movement of people from one rural area to another) is common in many parts of the world, despite the relatively limited economic opportunities found in most small towns or agricultural areas. Many migrants follow the planting, cultivation, and harvesting of various crops. Urban-to- urban migration is common in most countries. Families and individuals move from one city to another to find employment, to pursue a college degree, or to be in a culturally dynamic area. Urban-to-rural migration is usually designed to encourage the economic development of the countryside and to relieve population pressures on urban centers. Brazil, China, Indonesia, and Nigeria are countries that have used this strategy. Another type of migration is seasonal migration. People often move from one area to another because of the seasonal demand for labor. Agricultural industries often demand more labor at certain times of the year than at others. Harvesting fruit, sugarcane, coffee, and other crops requires intensive labor for a short period of time. Seasonal migration is also driven by other industries such as tourism. Another type of migration is transit migration. In this case, those seeking to enter a specific country pass through another country or stay there temporarily. For example, migrants use Mexico as a transit point for illegal entry into the United States. Visiting Mexico’s main immigration detention center, you see migrants from Ecuador, India, Cuba, China, Albania, Russia, Ukraine, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and other countries. Similarly, migrants attempting to enter Western Europe use countries such as Italy, Greece, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic as transit points. Many migrants also stop temporarily in Europe on their way to the United States and Canada. Within Europe,
  • 26. France is used as a transit point for migrants attempting to enter Britain to take advantage of its asylum policies. Forced and induced migration is an integral component of human history. Various minorities have been routinely expelled from countries because of political, social, ethnic, and religious differences. The Spanish crown forced Jews to leave Spain in 1492; Africans were forcibly removed from their homeland and enslaved in the Americas, the Middle East, and other parts of the world; and the Cuban and Chinese governments have used forced migration to achieve various political and economic objectives.4 Another type of migration—one that is becoming common in an age of globalization—is return migration. For example, many American citizens retain meaningful ties with another country. Throughout history, some migrants have returned to the places they left. In the late nineteenth century, roughly a third of European migrants to the United States were returning after a few years. Immigrants from Southern Europe, particularly Italy, were most likely to return after saving enough money to build homes, start small businesses, or buy farms. This trend of migration was strengthened by the relative newness of migration from Southern Europe and by declining transportation costs and faster and more reliable means of transportation. Economic success in the new country also motivates people to return to their country of origin. India and China, for example, encourage return migration to assist economic development. The global financial crisis slowed economic growth in Europe and the United States, which influenced Latin Americans who had migrated to Spain and the United States to return home.511.2.3: Causes of Migration Although the causes of migration are diverse and vary from one individual to another, demographers generally divide them into two categories: namely, push factors and pull factors.6Push factors are negative developments and circumstances that motivate or force people to leave their homes. These include widespread abuses of fundamental human rights, political oppression, forced resettlement programs and expulsion, high
  • 27. levels of violence and endemic political instability, rapid population growth, high rates of unemployment, poverty, natural and environmental disasters, the relative lack of educational and cultural opportunities, globalization, and discrimination that excludes specific groups and individuals from competition for resources and power. Pull factors are positive developments and circumstances in other areas or countries that attract people away from their homes. These include economic opportunities, higher wages, political and cultural freedom and stability, a comparatively healthy environment, educational and cultural opportunities, and family reunification. 11.3: Push Factors 1. 11.3 Identify the push factors of migration Widespread abuses of fundamental human rights, discussed in Chapter 3, have traditionally pushed people from their homes. The United States was settled by many individuals who were deprived of basic human rights. Many Jews, political dissidents, homosexuals, and others fled Nazi Germany because of the government’s systematic and profound violations of the most basic human rights, including the right to life. During the Cold War, many Central and Eastern Europeans fled oppression in the Communist countries. Cubans migrated in large numbers when Fidel Castro came to power and imposed severe restrictions on fundamental freedom. Forced resettlement programs and expulsion are significant push factors. Governments have both forced and encouraged people to migrate for several reasons. These include the following desires: 1. To achieve cultural homogeneity. This is particularly the case in newly independent countries that were faced with incompatible ethnic groups living in their artificially constructed boundaries. Yet, the practice of achieving cultural homogeneity by expelling people perceived as different has deep historical roots. Catholic Spain expelled the Jews in the
  • 28. fifteenth century, and Catholic France expelled the Huguenots (i.e., French Protestants and followers of John Calvin) in the sixteenth century. 2. To subdue a region or a people. China’s occupation of Tibet in 1950 was followed by the mass migration of Han Chinese settlers. During the Cultural Revolution (1966– 1976), Mao Zedong, China’s leader, sent his Red Guard storm troopers to subdue Tibet. 3. To evict dissidents and opponents of the government. Fidel Castro, determined to build a Communist society, influenced and coerced almost a million people to leave Cuba. 4. To achieve foreign policy objectives. Forced emigration is sometimes implemented as a component of broader foreign policy objectives. Governments use forced emigration to exert pressure on neighboring countries. For example, Castro has used emigration as an instrument of his foreign policy toward the United States. 5. To achieve economic and national security objectives. Several governments have forcibly removed people from one area of the country to another as part of an overall economic development or national security strategy. High levels of violence and political instability are factors that push people away from home. Declining population growth rates in rich countries facilitate migration that is driven by high population growth rates in the developing world. High rates of unemployment and poverty are widely regarded as dominant and constant push factors. Natural disasters, environmental problems, and famines push people away from their homelands or force them to relocate within their countries. Globalization and discrimination are also push factors. Globalization has contributed to the creation of strong economic regions within, as well as among, countries. Globalization’s emphasis on economic liberalization, free trade, and diminished government involvement in the economy has resulted in the displacement of millions of small farmers in the developing …

This reality of racism and economic hardship is underscored through Douglas's incorporation of a star and its emanating ray of light in the left-
  • 50. hand corner of the composition. Although this star has generally been perceived as a representation of the North Star, in April of 1971, during a conversation with David Driskell, Douglas revealed that in fact the star was his version of the red star of Communism. Douglas added that he had included this star in An Idyll of the Deep South to illustrate the hope held by some black Harlem intellectuals that true equality might be attained through the alternative policies of communism and socialism 69 Douglas, Aspects of Negro Life: From Slavery Through Reconstruction , 1934 The far right section is comprised of silhouettes symbolizing the doubt and uncertainty of African American slaves. The trumpet- playing silhouette depicts the transformation of doubt into the exultation felt after the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. In this section, Douglas encircled a piece of paper, which represents the Proclamation and dramatically emphasizes its importance, as it is this piece of paper that freed the slaves. The second section embodies the strength of the Black leaders of the time. The figure standing in the middle is holding a document and pointing to the Capitol off in the distance . . . the leader, is undoubtedly urging the free Blacks to cast their ballots rather than to continue picking cotton as slaves. Similar to the first section, Douglas highlights the ballot with circles to display its significance in upholding the rights of African Americans and the importance of voting itself. The third section, located on the left of the panel, characterizes the withdrawal of the Union soldiers from the South and the rise of white supremacist groups In the background, Douglas uses dull colors to depict the silhouettes of departing Union soldiers. The
  • 51. small size of the soldiers compared to the larger white-hooded figures on horseback signifies the emergence of white supremacist groups, most notably the Ku Klux Klan. 70 Song of the Towers celebrates the fluorescence of jazz and the increasing urbanism of African Americans during the first third of the twentieth century. In the composition, the figure of a saxophonist stands atop a great cog, recalling the machinery of the industrialized North, while playing his horn with one hand. The shoulder pads of his suit indicate his contemporary clothing while the silhouette of the Statue of Liberty can be made out in the far background, between the high rise buildings that flank the musician, firmly placing him in New York City.

He wanted to jolt ''the milling travelers'' to comprehend the evils of fascism. Working at breakneck speed, Benton within six weeks painted eight brutal works of unbridled violence that are collectively known as the ''Year of Peril'' series: ''Starry Night,'' ''Again,'' ''Indifference,'' ''Casualty,'' ''The Sowers,'' ''The Harvest,'' ''Invasion'' and ''Exterminate!'' Benton had one overriding objective in mind: to portray America's enemies as genocidal maniacs. 3 Harry Sternberg, Jon Corbino, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, George Grosz Decorations for 1943 Art Students League Costume Ball,

On view in メ Lincoln Kirsteinモ at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, through August 27.Pavel Tchelitchew was a Russian-born surrealist painter, set designer and costume designer. He left Russia in 1920, lived in Berlin from 1921 to 1923, and moved to Paris in 1923. In Paris Tchelitchew became acquainted with Gertrude Stein and, through her, the Sitwell and Gorer families. He and Edith Sitwell had a long-standing close friendship and they
  • 55. corresponded frequently.His first U.S. show was of his drawings, along with other artists, at the newly-opened Museum of Modern Art in 1930. In 1934, he moved from Paris to New York City with his partner, writer Charles Henri Ford. From 1940 to 1947, he provided illustrations for the Surrealist magazine View, edited by Ford and writer and film critic Parker Tyler. His most significant work is the painting Hide and Seek, painted in 1940ミ 42, and currently on display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He became a United States citizen in 1952 and died in Grottaferrata, Italy in 1957.Tchelitchew's early painting was abstract in style, described as Constructivist and Futurist and influenced by his study with Aleksandra Ekster in Kiev. After emigrating to Paris he became associated with the Neoromanticism movement. He continuously experimented with new styles, eventually incorporating multiple perspectives and elements of surrealism and fantasy into his painting. As a set and costume designer, he collaborated with Serge Diaghliev and George Balanchine, among others.Among Tchelitchew's well-known paintings are portraits of Natalia Glasko, Edith Sitwell and Gertrude Stein and the works Phenomena (1936-1938) and Cache Cache (1940- 1942). He designed sets for Ode (Paris, 1928), L'Errante (Paris, 1933), Nobilissima Visione (London, 1938) and Ondine (Paris, 1939), among other productions. 16 East 57th street near Madison: Paul Rosenberg & Co (established in NYC in 1940) 6 16 East 57th street near Madison Paul Rosenberg & Co.

  • 58. 11 MoMA Piet Mondrian. Broadway Boogie Woogie. 1942-43 Oil on canvas, 50 x 50" (127 x 127 cm). Mondrian, who had escaped to New York from Europe after the outbreak of World War II, delighted in the city's architecture. He was also fascinated by American jazz, particularly boogie-woogie, finding its syncopated beat, irreverent approach to melody, and improvisational aesthetic akin to what he called, in his own work, the "destruction of natural appearance; and construction through continuous opposition of pure means—dynamic rhythm." In this painting, his penultimate, Mondrian replaced the black grid that had long governed his canvases with predominantly yellow lines that intersect at points marked by squares of blue and red. These atomized bands of stuttering chromatic pulses, interrupted by light gray, create paths across the canvas suggesting the city's grid, the movement of traffic, and blinking electric lights, as well as the rhythms of jazz. Piet Mondrian, Victory Boogie Woogie, 1942-1944 12 Piet Mondrian, Victory Boogie Woogie, 1942-1944. Oil paint, pieces of paper and plastic, and black chalk on canvas, 127 x 127 cm, vertical axis 179 cm. On loan from the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage, Amsterdam. Acquired for the nation thanks to a gift from the Nederlandsche Bank. At the time of Mondrianユ s fairly sudden death in early 1944 at the age of seventy-two, Victory Boogie Woogie was still unfinished. The lozenge-shaped painting was covered with
  • 59. loosely attached bits of coloured paper and plastic which Mondrian was using to try out new emphases and rhythms. Given the time, he would probably have replaced them by a rather more regular, painted version of the fragmented visual rhythms. He never had the chance to do so but, even in this state, Victory Boogie Woogie is an impressive painting and provides moving evidence that Mondrian died at the very height of his creative powers. Its distinctive lozenge shape underlines the fact that Mondrian was seeking to maximise the spatial spread of his composition. The interwoven colours and the rhythm of the fragmented network of lines undoubtedly reflect the bustle of big-city life in New York. A feast for the eye Victory Boogie Woogie is a feast for the eye. Blue, yellow, red and white are interwoven over the entire surface, fragmented into larger and smaller planes and small blocks of colour. White is varied by shades of grey, blue by blocks so dark that they look almost black, and yellow in a couple of conspicuous places by shades of ochre. Even the red is varied here and there, though less obviously so. The dynamic of the composition is based on horizontal and vertical lines, but these now provide little firm footing. They are, as it were, fragmented by the small blocks of colour, and are repeatedly doubled, interrupted before they reach the edge of the canvas and fanned out. A striking feature is the way smaller and larger elements of the composition interlock, creating startling syncopations in the often driving visual rhythms and ensuring that the composition remains open on every side. Although the title Victory Boogie Woogie was not invented by Mondrian, it is known that he saw this painting as a follow-up to his 1942-1943 painting Broadway Boogie Woogie and that he used the word ヤ Victoryユ in relation to it. The term Boogie Woogie refers to a new kind of jazz then popular in New York, in which short melody lines were interrupted by open rhythmical patterns. Victory undoubtedly refers to the triumph of a new form of art in a free world, something in which Mondrian continued to have unshakeable faith even in the darkest days of the Second World

Thought dictated in the absence of all control exerted by reason, and outside all aesthetic or moral preoccupations.
  • 63. ENCYCL. Philos. Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of association heretofore neglected, in the omnipotence of the dream, and in the disinterested play of thought. It leads to the permanent destruction of all other psychic mechanisms and to its substitution for them in the solution of the principal problems of life. André Breton, “First Surrealist Manifesto,” 1924 The first Surrealist manifesto was written by Breton and released to the public in 1924. The document defines Surrealism as: "Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express — verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner — the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern." 18 Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art (1936) Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism, The Museum of Modern Art’s first exhibition to focus on Dada, was organized by founding director Alfred H. Barr, Jr., in 1936. It was the most comprehensive presentation of Dada works since the Dadaists’ own exhibitions. It was also the first to be organized by a nonparticipant and the first to present Dada as a historical movement. The exhibition was rife with controversy and provoked fierce reactions from battling factions among the

For example, Tristan Tzara, a leader of the Dada movement and one of the exhibition’s most important lenders, threatened to forbid Barr from exhibiting his loans when he learned that the exhibition’s title had been changed from The Fantastic in Art to include Surrealism and that the French Surrealist André Breton was to write the catalogue preface. For their part, Breton and French Surrealist poet Paul Éluard disapproved of the final format of the exhibition; they wanted it to be an official Surrealist “manifestation.” Critical response to the exhibition was mixed. In 1937, when the show circulated around the country, lender Katherine Dreier withdrew her artworks and feuded with Barr over his inclusion of works by children and “the insane,” and A. Conger Goodyear, President of the Museum’s board of trustees, requested that other items be removed. 19 André Masson, Automatic Drawing, 1924 Andre Masson, Automatic Drawing, 1924 20 André Masson, Pasiphaë, 1945 The daughter of Helios and Perse, and wife of King Minos, Pasiphaë was the mother of Glaucus, Andogeus, Phaedra, and Ariadne.

Born to a wealthy New York City family, she was the daughter of Benjamin Guggenheim, who went down with the Titanic in 1912, and the niece of Solomon R. Guggenheim, who would establish the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Peggy Guggenheim created a noted art collection in Europe and America primarily between 1938 and 1946. She exhibited this collection as she built it and, in 1949, settled in Venice, where she lived and exhibited her collection for the rest of her life. Art of This Century Gallery, 1942-7 28 A few days before the Germans reached Paris, Peggy Guggenheim had to abandon her plans for a Paris museum, and fled to the south of France, from where, after months of safeguarding her collection and artist friends, she left Europe for New York in the summer of 1941. There, in the following year, she opened a new gallery which actually was in part a museum. It was called The Art of This Century Gallery. Three
  • 68. of the four galleries were dedicated to Cubist and Abstract art, Surrealism and Kinetic art, with only the fourth, the front room, being a commercial gallery. Peggy Guggenheim and Jackson Pollock in front of Pollock's Mural, 1943 c. 1944 29 Museum of Non-Objective Painting, East 54th Street, New York 1939-1947 This installation is based upon the galleries of the original Museum of Non-Objective Painting, which Solomon R. Guggenheim and Hilla Rebay, his personal curator and the museum's first director, opened on East 54th Street in Manhattan in 1939. The spaces of the former automobile showroom had been transformed by architect William Muschenheim under Rebay's direction. Rebay, who was also a painter, believed passionately in abstract painting's spiritual power. Thus, she set out to create an environment for art that would allow its metaphysical qualities to be best experienced. Quite unlike the Museum of Modern Art, whose collections and new International Style building emphasized the relationship between Modern art and society, the Museum of Non-Objective Painting reflected Rebay's desire to create a setting that would make visitors feel as though they had entered another world. The interior walls and windows of the museum were covered in pleated gray velour, shutting out the exterior world. Paintings
  • 69. were set like altarpieces in wide, gilded frames and hung as low as a few inches from the floor, which forced viewers to orient themselves to the artworks positions. To enhance her vision of a temple for modern painting, Rebay played classical music on a phonograph, which echoed throughout the museum. In 1947, the museum moved to a townhouse at 1071 Fifth Avenue. That building was demolished when construction began in 1956 for the new museum which by that time had been renamed the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. 30 Museum of Non-Objective Painting (interior) MNOP c. 1940 31 Whitelaw Reid House (Villard Houses) Madison Ave., N.Y.C., ca. 1910-1915 32 Whitelaw Reid's Home, N.Y.C.

Dalí described the paranoiac-critical method as a "spontaneous method of irrational knowledge based on the critical and systematic objectivity of the associations and interpretations of delirious phenomena." Employing the method when creating a work of art uses an active process of the mind to visualize images in the work and incorporate these into the final product. An example of the resulting work is a double image or multiple image in which an ambiguous image can be interpreted in different ways.André

Like other selfミ taught artists in this exhibition, Kane produced most of his work in a concentrated period of timeム the last seven years of his life.

The death of an infant son in 1904 led him into a vortex of drinking and depression, which caused long periods of wandering, during which he worked as an itinerant house painter and carpenter. In Akron, Ohio in 1910 he first began to do pictorial paintings on discarded boards from construction sites. By the end of World War I, Kane was again in Pittsburgh, where he spent the remainder of his life. He remained separated from his wife and children.In both 1925 and 1926 he submitted paintings to the Carnegie Internationals sponsored by the Carnegie Museum of Art, but the works were rejected. The next year, however, Kane found a champion in painterミ juror Andrew Dasburg, who persuaded the jury to accept Kaneユ s Scene in the Scottish Highlands (Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh).[2] The story of the untrained 67-year-old painter's success was trumpeted by the newspapers. The publicity around the show came to the notice of Kane's wife, who was living in West Virginia, and with whom he'd lost contact for over ten years. They reconciled and remained together during the last years of his life.When it was discovered that he had painted over discarded photographic images, purely for financial reasons, he was hounded by newspapers and unsuccessful artists who claimed him a sham. Kane continued to paint his primitive landscapes and self- portraits, including his famous Self-portrait (1929) in the collection of MoMA, New York.

Accepting the commission, he secretly resolved to create "something that will ruin the appetite of every son-of-a-bitch who ever eats in that room." Observing the restaurant's pretentious atmosphere upon his return from a trip to Europe, Rothko abandoned the project altogether, returned his advance and kept the paintings for himself. The

Rothko never devised a ‘final’ scheme for The Four Seasons restaurant. His studio assistant, Dan Rice, recalls that Rothko ‘was very reflective, gathering all the paintings together again and jumbling them up. It would be very difficult to say that one was intended as part of the murals and one was not’. Rather than speculate about the scheme for the Four Seasons, the murals are presented here as Rothko’s first series, in which each work from its very inception enters into a direct dialogue with its counterparts. Within a comparatively narrow compositional scheme, Rothko experimented with varying permutations of the floating ‘frame’ and its background, different surface treatments and the use of vibrant and sombre colour. Though The Four Seasons offered space for only seven murals, Rothko eventually executed thirty canvases. For his retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1961 he identified five of these as Mural Sections 2–5 and Mural Section 7. These are displayed here in consecutive order. The

Her inclusion in this and other combines of the period (like Bantam of 1954) (Fig. 6) directly alludes for the first time in Rauschenberg's work to his identification as a gay man...What references there are to gay culture tend to be complex and indirect. For example, "Bantam" includes a team portrait of the New York Yankees spattered with Abstract Expressionist paint which is then juxtaposed with delicate fabric swatches, a nineteenth-century nude odalisque staring at herself in a mirror, and another autographed photo of Judy Garland. While the presence of Garland alone was curious enough, the reference was coupled with a peculiar title. According to Webster's Dictionary, "bantam" means "a small but aggressive or pugnacious person; 2. any of several breeds of small fowl in which the male is often a good fighter; 3. a boxer or wrestler weighing between 113 and 118 pounds." In short, bantam refers to an over-wrought, overacted masculinity--a kind of nervous overcompensation for a perceived lack. Here the gestural paint splashed over the Yankees photo, coupled with a curious title, seems to deliver a highly coded, campy indictment of Abstract Expressionism and its self-conscious and exaggerated masculinity. Such a reading is reinforced by the odalisque looking at herself in a mirror, and the star photograph of Judy Garland.

His most open and direct acknowledgment of his life with Johns occurs in the following interview:RR: I'm not frightened of the affection that Jasper and I had, both personally and as working artists. I don't see any sin or conflict in those days when each of us was the most important person in the other's life.Interviewer: Can you tell me why you parted ways?RR: Embarrassment about being well known.Interviewer: Embarrassment about being famous?RR: Socially. What had been tender and sensitive became gossip. It was sort of new to the art world that the two most well-known, up and coming studs were affectionately involved.While to a greater or lesser degree both artists have resisted further elaborations on this relationship, their art offers a number of interesting clues.. and Johns cultivated their most lasting contributions to American art. And it is because of this joint opposition, and the work it generated, that they have been branded a two-person movement.Most critics agree that Johns and Rauschenberg's finest work grew out of the period between 1954 and 1961, a time of intense emotional involvement during which they searched together for an alternative to Abstract
  • 88. Expressionist picturemaking. Rauschenberg once remarked of this moment, "We gave each other permission." The statement demands to be taken seriously both in terms of constraints on artistic innovation and constraints on homosexual desire, for in the lives of these men, as we shall see, the two were correlated. It was winter of 1953 when Rauschenberg first met Jasper Johns, although both had moved to New York in 1949. Rauschenberg, who was born in 1925 and grew up in Port Arthur, Texas, arrived after two years' draft in the navy and four more years trying out various art schools from Kansas City to Paris to North Carolina. Johns, born in 1930, moved to New York from his native South Carolina in order to attend commercial art school, but his story was interrupted by the draft and he spent two years in the army, returning to the city in 1952. He got a job at the Marboro bookstore, unsure of whether he was working toward becoming a poet or a painter. Visiting at Black Mountain College, North Carolina, he was introduced to Rauschenberg by a mutual friend, the artist and art writer Suzi Gablik, who had known Rauschenberg at school. They met again later at an artist's party and struck up a friendship. Rauschenberg and Johns began to see more of one another. Rauschenberg convinced Johns to quit his job at the bookstore and join him in doing window designs for department stores. They worked together under the name Matson-Jones, and they were quite successful. In 1955, Rauschenberg moved from his Fulton Street studio into John's building on Pearl Street and then they moved together again to a space on Front St. Rauschenberg, Bed, 1955 “Painting relates to both art and life. [Neither can be made.] I try to act in that gap between the two.” (1959) 32
  • 89. RR Bed, 1955Bed is one of Rauschenberg’s first “combines,” the artist’s term for his technique of attaching found objects, such as tires or old furniture, to a traditional canvas support. In this work, he took a well-worn pillow, sheet, and quilt, scribbled on them with pencil, and splashed them with paint in a style similar to that of Abstract Expressionist “drip” painter Jackson Pollock. Legend has it that these are Rauschenberg’s own pillow and blanket, which he used when he could not afford to buy a new canvas. Hung on the wall like a traditional painting, his bed, still made, becomes a sort of intimate self- portrait consistent with Rauschenberg’s assertion that “painting relates to both art and life…[and] I try to act in that gap between the two.” Johns, Target with Plaster Casts, 1955 33 JJ Target with Plaster Casts, pvt.
