There is a word bank on page two, but try to answer all questions from your head before you go to the word bank or any other sources.

Quick recap of modern movement

Pre-industrial: cultural products (buildings, furniture, clothing, music, art) from semi-skilled artisans and amateurs.

Late 19th century: professionalization of cultural production and de-skilling of other kinds of production.

Culture split between Fine Art, which is beautiful but useless,
and utilitarian goods, which are cheap and nasty. Explosion of Kitsch. The “Art Poster” and Arts and Crafts movements are attempts to bridge the gap.

20th Century Modernism: attempt to erase difference between “high” and “low” culture.
Produce utilitarian goods of highest quality in factories. Reject “art for art’s sake.” Advocate styles that can be produced, and used, by all people.
