Summary of an
essay:
As we all know, art passed very long way to creative what we have today. This is the
result of a lot of division and revolutions to destroy old traditions and make new era of
art-culture at the same time. The turning point came during the 19th century, which led
to permanent revolution. There were so many blank to fill up, so it was necessary to
change some important issues absolutely. Certainly full deconstruction had positive and
negative sides, but eventually changes directed towards progress.

Architecture destruction:
Great French Revolution marked the beginning of conflict between traditions which
would change the artists living and working conditions. It was difficult to introduce a
distinction between real masterpiece and duplicate. However, this time the revolution
undermined art from another side. The Industrial Revolution began to destroy the very
traditions of solid craftsmanship. (Gombrich, 2016, p. 499)
First of all, the results of these changes primarily affected the architecture, because
there was no any method to teach crafts. It was the time of the vast expansion of cities
in England and America that turned whole tracts of country into built-up areas, but this
time of unlimited building activity had no natural style of its own. It should be noted that
rules and artworks of pre Georgian period was refused, As too simple and inartistic.
performances enabled them to quit being accepted norms and to respond to community
requirements and the painters who was proud of his loneliness.

Causes and Consequences:
What was the cause of this revolution? Why destroyed traditions? The situation made it
hard for a lot of other reasons. For example: Industrial Revolution and the fall of
workmanship, emergence of the new middle class and Etc. Artists started to realize as
rejected, so they expressed their protest in different forms: attire, manners, their artworks and many other things. (Gombrich, 2016, p. 504)
Finally, such a sequence of phenomenon was not normal, but it seems that was
inevitable. As we told, there is no doubt that revolution provides full deconstruction of
culture and traditions of art, but we never specify all of this will effect positively or
negatively. However, history has shown progressive results of permanent revolution.
