In this essay, I identify what makes abject art so uniquely effective in connecting with an audience and expressing complex themes. Knut Asdam's Untitled: Pissing from 1995 breaks down the hollowness of toxic masculinity through loss of control. Ana ... Ana Mendieta's Body Tracks from 1982 uses performance to critique the normalization of violence, and the product of the performance to imply the horrific violence against women. Ron Athey's 4 Scenes in a Harsh Life from 1994 uses piercing art and the spilling of blood to express the struggle with addiction along with reclaiming queer identity through religious themes. Marina Abramovic's Rhythm series from the 70's expresses the tensions between apathy towards self and sole trust in oneself and the work visualizes the cruelty that is experienced on both sides of the spectrum. Together, these artists use an intense art form to reveal systems of oppression that are not easily understood otherwise. The product of abject art is an audience that is left to grapple with their disgust at not only the content of the art, but the implication it draws in relation to how people experience their culture. Key Words: abject art, physical, visceral, performance, Marina Abramovic, Ron Athey, Ana Mendieta, Knut Asdam Read more

This paper explores Late Classic Maya art through the specifics of painted ceramicware and murals. Through my investigation, I explain why ceramics and murals in unison are especially exceptional art forms to aid in the study of Maya art and culture. ... I further discuss what painted illustration on both mediums provide to modern audiences about the Maya civilization by explaining how painted imagery on ceramics and murals elevates a colorful insight into the Maya. The Maya world builds upon already established Maya art and architecture in a way that enriches the artistic traditions and complex social systems. I also elaborate on how painted ceramics and murals, through similar techniques, styles, and iconography, played a vital role in allowing viewers to understand aspects of influential connections seen in the Maya mythology, ritual, courtly, and daily life. This paper is focused on the analysis of two ceramic vessels, the Metropolitan Vase and the Vessel with Ball Game Scene, and specific scenes from the wall paintings at Bonampak and Calakmul. The various forms of polychromatic iconography explored in this paper provides a prosperous position for surveying how the subsequent use of painted illustration attentively reflects the social, political, and cosmological structures and philosophies that the Late Classic Maya civilization was established upon and is known for today.
