English Culture IV - Gilbert and George

Gilbert and George

“Gilbert & George place themselves, their thoughts and their feelings at the centre of their art, and almost all of the images they use are gathered within walking distance of their home in London’s East End. Yet their pictures capture a broad human experience, encompassing an astonishing range of emotions and themes, from rural idylls to gritty images of a decaying London; from fantastical brightly-coloured panoramas to raw examinations of humanity stripped bare; from sex advertisements to religious fundamentalism.

From the beginning, they wanted to communicate beyond the narrow confines of the art world, adopting the slogan ‘Art for All’. As a result they have joined the very small handful of artists to become household names, and their impeccably-dressed figures are instantly recognisable to the general public. Bringing together a selection of pictures that spans their entire 40-year career, it is fitting that Gilbert &George: Major Exhibition is the largest retrospective of any artist to be held at Tate Modern.”

In this video George and Gilbert talk about the "Major Exibition" of them that happened in 2007 in London at Tate Modern.

Summary (english culture II)

More students can not take good grades and especially because this should not respond correctly to the questions.
To improve this situation, it is necessary to go through some stages. Before any work or presentation, the student must identify the content of their work and explain their case and justify the information. The student needs knowledge of previous arguments in the area they are creating an original argument about. They must not only know these things, but synthesize them, because the students memorize the information without understanding and then can not synthesize this information.
To conclude, students must present their point of view, but reasoned.
