Modern Art Retrospective
Gietto Di Bondone - The Massacre of the Innocents, 1302-05
Revolutionary brought the 3D perspective to images.
Modern art is not as straight forward as a time line. Modernism - Mid 19th C
Raphael - The Triumph of Galatea, 1511
After this it became stylized, idolized
deliberate break from the past
Cararaggio - Doubling Thomas, 1602-03
at this time there was lots of religious paintings
shown jesus with flesh and blood, darkness
Chiaroscuro - difference between lightness and darkness
Claude Lorrain - Coast Scene with Europa, 1634
Jan Van Goyen - Windmill by a River, 1642
at this time most artists thought paintings should be for Gods eyes
Johan Vermeer - The Milkmaid, 1748
it was frowned upon in them times to paint everyday life, art was very decorative
Francois Boucher - The Fountain of Love, 1748
very popular by painting images that could go into houses, non religious
They wanted art to teach, inspire upstanding victorian times, clean duties to God.
At the same time underground evil prostitution and drug rings ran.
Jean Honore Fragonard - The Swing, 1767
adored by everyone, didn’t have to think much. Titillating
art had been stuck in a rut
Pre-Raphalite (not acknowledged as modern artists)
Rossetti - Venus Verticordia, 1864-8
repect detail of nature
Red House William Morris
Modern Art - Avante Garde - Looking Forward
Pre-Raphalite - Looking Back because they thought art had got to the high point.
Gustave Coubet - ABurial Ornam, 1849-50
Realist, dark, used black tar. ‘only paint what people actually experienced’
No beautiful flowers, rolling hills
Made his own little Gallery
Edward Manet - Olympia, 1863
No fernes, roughly drawn
prostitute, looking straight at the viewer
he wanted to be accepted but his paintings were refused and caused outrage.
Modernism starts at this?
Claude Monet - Impression Sunrise, 1872
looseness of brushstrokes, joke at that time
artists began to see more than the object, light , colour etc
start of paint in a tube
cameras were beginning to take hold
Georges - Pierre Senrat - Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
shadow - the colour tinged by its complimentary colour
application of paint became as big as the scene
new scenes - city parks, train stations etc
Impressionists held exhibitions so critics had to start accepting the changes.
art in the street - everyday man
Paul Cezanne - Still life with apples and oranges 1899
not a perfect image, what the artist wants you to see
Van Gough - Bandaged Ear, 1889 - £90 million
Bohemian, only sold one painting
Dark/hardworking people
colour could express a mood/ feeling
making art about them selfs
an expression of himself, picks the colours to express himself.
At this time more self portraits were done than in any other time.
Max Ernst - Approaching Puberty, 1921
Surrealism broke down quickly, to obvious
Freud disliked them
Picasso - Les Demoiselles d’Arignon 1907
when people pick an image to represent modernism this is sometimes it because of the angular figure, moving away from the traditional figure its all about composition.
Jackson Pollock 1912 - 56
Modern art is functional, political non decorative but may be beautiful
Abstraction fundamental core to modernism.
