THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CONTEXT AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERFORMANCE ART IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

The study investigate the influence that the economic, political and cultural context had on artists expressing their ideas through the means of performance in the first half of the 20th century. Dynamic changes in every field of social life, and especially in the scientific and technical, directly or indirectly, stimulate artists to publish manifestos, search for a synthesis between the arts, protest artistic actions, or those aimed at self-examination. These attitudes impact the discovery and practice of new forms of expression in modern art.
