The Lost Generation

The "Lost Generation" is what Gertrude Stein Hemingway as Indicated to His generation. Being one of Post World War I, this generation is One That Was HAD Suffered and looking for an intellectual haven. These expatriates Decided to renounce US citizenship and Their Fled to Paris to ease Their confusion of the war. For a group of young artists DURING a time like this, Paris Was the ideal place to be. Pendant thesis times, it has-been written how Paris felt free with the sun always shining, the white buildings and the Seine River. These Were the times, as you know of May, "The Roaring Twenties". With the prohibition of alcohol going on in America, Paris Was full of freedom; freedom to drink, dance, have fun, etc. After a period of Suffering, thesis young artists found happiness and liveliness dans le city of love; There Was romance everywhere, warm food aromas swarming the streets, and artists Struggling to make a living by selling Their creations. 

I Believe That What Was MOST importantly for this "lost generation" Was That Was no one alone. Everyone was in Paris together Attempting to find Meaning in Life and Any kind of intellect whether it be cultural, philosophical, political, etc. This is why the outcome of amazing artists Was Produced DURING this era. It Was like it Was a social group and Gertrude Stein Was the head, the one everyone Went to for approval and advice. Because There Was so much art being white Produced in various kinds of ways- writing, music, painting, etc.- There Was an open possibility to achieve achievement inspiration from Reviews another's peers.

The Generation That I am Currently growing up in today has-beens Given several titles by many association. I think one of the Most Popular Might Be the generation of technology, due to the Advancements in the 2000's that grow more and more Every Day. ALTHOUGH this Might Be one of the assorted titles Labeled to my "generation" in the United States, I Consider Associating myself in a different kind of "generation". When I think about "The Lost Generation", I think a group of artists confused with life, Who Traveled to-have unknown year instead of beauty to try and find answers through intellect with --other artists in the Saami tract. With this, I have myself thinking of The New School. Like the Lost Generation, I see The New School as a Place That people, injustement than coming from one place, come from all over the world to find truth in the art They Want to Pursue. Some come Knowing Exactly what Art That Is Specific, others come in searching of it. I can not compare The New School and The Lost Generation with the Saami Meaning of "lost" Because it is not the Saami Suffering. HOWEVER, Each and Every individual at The New School is lost in Some way or another in Their Own Way. And by this, we gather in social chat of culture, philosophy, literature, politics, religion, etc., whether it is over joined in the courtyard, a class seminar, was critical of one's own art work in the studio, gold happy hour beer at a local bar down the street.        

            Not only do I Consider my generation as simply The New School, I Consider It as a generation of artists in New York Who-have absolutely no boundaries, as one can see, I live in a time Where I have to issue exist anymore Even if boundaries . Everywhere I turn in New York, I am Surrounded by young artists, like myself, try trying to find Meaning in What They want to Produce, and how to do it in a way That Is Unlike anyone else. And These Days, to me at least, it semble like the Crazier and more "explicit" one's work is, the better it is and the more fame and / or credit it / you Will receive gold. Like The Lost Generation, deep down I Know That it Gives comfort to all Of Those in the position Sami Because if you are Struggling with your work, There Is Truth That You arent Entirely alone. And with Those Who-have made it, it aussi Gives comfort That Provides hope and inspiration. Goal aussi comfort comes with competition and jealousy. I Would Say That my generation Might Be one of the MOST competitive ones, Especially at The New School. As great as it is To Be Surrounded by talented youth That You can share your thoughts and idea's with, in the end you find anyone That All The New School in New York and is truly looking out for is for Themselves and Their own success. As much as this is true, I assure You That Alongside of this, do you find your group of artist friends That arent in competition with you and supporting you do and do wish to share success. I'm not sure what i would name Even my generation, maybe "the generation of no boundaries" or "the daring generation"; maybe even "the generation of no fear," Because That Is what it seems to-have come to These Days. Youth, Especially in New York, Because I Can not speak for Any Other hand of the United States, has come to this point of being white Where free and living on the edge is a way of life; I've Said Earlier about current art, the Crazier the better. This aussi goes for how we treat our bodies, portray Ourselves in person and now since technology HAS boomed, through social media.
