This is an 8 page paper discussing the transition of paintings, photography and modern video art in regards to societal awareness, change and post-colonial views. In the last two centuries, art has been used in different ways to portray societal expectations and norms and the acceptance or denial of art has led the way to societal change. The paintings of William Bouguereau depict perfection in regards to heavenly and pure images of women, children and mythological creatures. Bouguereau used his work to escape the societal realities and portray images which he believed people wanted to see and taught methods in art he believed that artists wanted to learn. Unfortunately, Bouguereau maintained his traditional and classic styles during the evolution of Modernist and Impressionist painters and his paintings were considered unrealistic. French colonists used photography in Africa in the mid 19th century as a way of depicting “realistic” images they believed people wanted to see of tribal Africa. However, despite the perception that photography was “realistic”, the images portrayed of Africans were those which were stereotypical portrayals of Africans as “savages” “needing” to be civilized by Imperialism; a concept accepted by European society. Lastly, modern video artists such as Montreal’s Nelson Henricks raise social awareness and self-identity by questioning societal norms, and viewers and critics of Henricks’ work feel the need to step back and examine conventional views.
