Incidentally, when trying to understand the history of art it’s important to recognize that art does not change overnight, but rather reflects wider (and slower) changes taking place in society. It also reflects the outlook of the artist. Thus, for example, a work of art produced as early as 1958 might be decidedly “postmodernist” (if the artist has a very avant-garde outlook – a good example is Yves Klein’s Nouveau Realisme); while another work, created by a conservative artist in 1980, might be seen as a throw-back to the time of “Modern Art” rather than an example of “Contemporary Art”. In fact, it’s probably true to say that several different strands of art – meaning several sets of aesthetics , some hypermodern, some old-fashioned – may co-exist at any one time. Also, it’s worth remembering that many of these terms (like “Modern Art”) are only invented after the event, from the vantage point of hindsight.

If there might be a question as to which is the top of the illustration, write top” at the appropriate edge or use an arrow to indicate the top edge. Similarly, the front of a transparency may need to be indicated in order to avoid having it printed in reverse (flopped). In the absence of other clues, the artist’s signature can be used to establish the correct orientation.

When discussing the psychology of musical ability and sophistication, it is also important to address musical performance and play. However, rather than proficiency, this section focuses on differences in performance style and expression. Just as preferences for music covers a large multi-dimensional musical space, so does musical expression. For example, saxophonists John Coltrane and Stan Getz, although both commonly labeled as jazz musicians, had very different tones; Getz’s tone was soft and filled with vibrato, while Coltrane’s was often loud, intense, and particularly early in his career, featured almost no vibrato at all. Furthermore, their approaches and styles varied greatly. Getz was associated with the west coast or “cool” jazz movement which featured softer, more melodic and relaxed attributes, while Coltrane’s music, especially later in his career, was associated with the avant-garde movement, characterized by greater tension, intensity, and dissonance. Such differences in musical performance may be explained, at least partially, by E-S theory.
