Claude Monet
Brushstrokes became more important than imagery.
The Impressionists’ emphasis on observation paralleled the ideas of scientists and philosophers of the day, who argued that reality was only what could be sensed, measured and analyzed.Do you agree with this definition of
reality?

José Clemente Orozco
![Page 7: S12 _ nature, knowledge, technology](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050920/54b32faa4a79594c288b46fc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

The Critique of Learning
The artist Orozco presents the argument against the pursuit of sterile knowledge.
sterile: adj. unable to produce children/totally clean/free from bacteria or any other living microorganism.
![Page 10: S12 _ nature, knowledge, technology](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050920/54b32faa4a79594c288b46fc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Critique of Learning
This painting is a warning against the academic (teacher/student of higher education) who is completely occupied with sterile research or learning that has no value outside of academia.
academia: n. the environment or community concerned with the pursuit of research, education, and scholarship.
How’s Ms. Beka doing? Is her course about things that have no value outside of
school?
![Page 11: S12 _ nature, knowledge, technology](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050920/54b32faa4a79594c288b46fc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Critique of Learning
Orozco believed that sterile education passes for knowledge, but it actually keeps the young busy without giving them any real wisdom or understanding.
WHAT IS REAL WISDOM
OR UNDERSTANDING?!
![Page 12: S12 _ nature, knowledge, technology](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050920/54b32faa4a79594c288b46fc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Critique of Learning
The rhythm of the lines is strong, from the verticals of the academic robes, to the black and white of the skeleton’s ribs, to the book spines below.

José Clemente Orozco. An Epic American Civilization, 1932-1934. Fresco.A 20-panel cycle in Baker Memorial Library, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, USA.
![Page 14: S12 _ nature, knowledge, technology](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050920/54b32faa4a79594c288b46fc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
José’s thoughts… “The American continental races are now becoming aware of their
own personality, as it emerges from two cultural currents—the indigenous and the European. The great American myth of Quetzalcoatl is a living one embracing both elements and pointing clearly, by its prophetic nature, to the responsibility shared equally by the two Americas of creating here an authentic New World civilization. I feel that this subject has a special significance for an institution such as Dartmouth College which has its origin in a continental rather than in a local outlook—the foundation of Dartmouth, I understand, predating the foundation of the United States.”
As Orozco surely had been told, Dartmouth College was chartered for the purpose of “the education and instruction of Youth of the Indian Tribes in this Land . . . and also of English Youth and any others.”
