== Aspects of performance art ==
Another aspect of performance that grew in popularity in the early 20th century is [[performance art]]. The origins of Performance art started with [[Dada]] and [[Russian constructivism]] groups, focusing on avant-garde poetry readings and live paintings
The emergence of [[abstract expressionism]] in the 1950s with [[Jackson Pollock]] and [[Willem de Kooning]] gave way to [[action painting]], a technique that emphasized the dynamic movements of artists as they splattered paint and other media on canvas or glass. For these artists, the motion of putting paint on canvas was just as valuable as the finished painting, and so it was common for artists to document their work in film; such as the short film Jackson Pollock 51(1951), featuring Pollock dripping paint onto a massive canvas on his studio floor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.openculture.com/2011/08/jackson_pollock_lights_camera_paint.html|title=Jackson Pollock 51: Short Film Captures the Painter Creating Abstract Expressionist Art|website=Open Culture|access-date=2019-11-21}}</ref> [[Situationists]] in France, led by [[Guy Debord]], married avant-garde art with revolutionary politics to incite everyday acts of anarchy. The "Naked City Map" (1957) fragments the 19 sections of Paris, featuring the technique of [[détournement]] and abstraction of the traditional environment, deconstructing the geometry and order of a typical city map.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://homepages.phonecoop.coop/vamos/work/lecturenotes/documents/nakedcity.html|title=The Naked City|website=homepages.phonecoop.coop|access-date=2019-11-21}}</ref>
