BSED MT 1-1N ART MOVEMENTS

IMPRESSIONISM Impressionist painters moved away from realistic representations to use visible
brushstrokes, vivid colours with little mixing, and open compositions to capture the emotion of light
and movement. The Impressionists started as a group of French artists who broke with academic
tradition by painting en plein air—a shocking decision when most landscape painters executed their
work indoors in a studio.

❖ Claude Monet - The Bridge In The Monet Garden (1900) ❖ Pierre Auguste Renoir - The Rose
Garden At Wargemont (1948) ❖ Mary Cassatt - The Boating Party (1894) POST-IMPRESSIONISM
Not unified by a single style, artists were united by the inclusion of abstract elements and symbolic
content in their artwork. Perhaps the most well known Post-Impressionist is Vincent Van Gogh, who
used colour and his brushstrokes not to convey the emotional qualities of the landscape, but his
own emotions and state of mind.

❖ Vincent van Gogh - Road Works at Saint-Remy (1889) ❖ Paul Cézanne - Table, Napkin, and Fruit
(A Corner of the Table) (1895) ❖ Paul Gauguin - Le Sorcier d'Hiva Oa (Marquesan Man in a Red
Cape), (1902) CUBISM A truly revolutionary style of art, Cubism is one of the most important art
movements of the 20th century. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque developed Cubism in the early
1900s, with the term being coined by art critic Louis Vauxcelles in 1907 to describe the artists.
Throughout the 1910s and 1920s, the two men—joined by other artists—would use geometric forms
to build up the final representation. Completely breaking with any previous art movement, objects
were analysed and broken apart, only to be reassembled into an abstracted form.

❖ Pablo Picasso - Girl before a Mirror Paris (1932) ❖ Georges Braque - Violin and Candlestick
(1910) ❖ Juan Gris - Pipe and Domino (1924) SURREALISM A precise definition of Surrealism can
be difficult to grasp, but it is clear that this once avant-garde movement has staying power, remaining
one of the most approachable art genres, even today. Imaginative imagery spurred by the
subconscious is a hallmark of this type of art, which started in the 1920s. The movement began when
a group of visual artists adopted automatism, a technique that relied on the subconscious for
creativity.

❖ Salvador Dali - The Melting Watch (1954) ❖ Max Ernst - Forest and Dove' (1927) ❖ Rene Magritte
- The Art of Living (1967) EXPRESSIONISM This style of art takes the spontaneity of Surrealism and
injects it with the dark mood of trauma that lingered post-War. Jackson Pollock is a leader of the
movement, his drip paintings spotlighting the spontaneous creation and gestural paint application
that defines the genre. A style of painting, music, or drama in which the artist or writer seeks to
express emotional experience rather than impressions of the external world.

❖ Jackson - Pollock Mask (1941) ❖ Willem
de Kooning - Untitled V (1981) ❖ Clyfford
Still - Lightning Bolt (1946) POP ART
Pop Art emphasized banal elements of common goods, and is frequently thought of as a
reaction against the subconscious elements of Abstract Expressionism. Roy Lichtenstein’s bold,
vibrant work is an excellent example of how parody and pop culture merged with fine art to make
accessible art. Andy Warhol, the most famous figure in Pop Art, helped push the revolutionary
concept of art as mass production, creating numerous silkscreen series of his popular works.

❖ Andy Warhol - Untitled from Marilyn Monroe (1967) ❖ Roy Lichtenstein - Popeye (1961) ❖
Jasper Johns - Map (1961) KINETIC ART The seemingly contemporary art movement actually has
its roots in Impressionism, when artists first began attempting to express movement in their art. In
the early 1900s, artists began to experiment further with art in motion, with sculptural machine and
mobiles pushing kinetic art forward. In contemporary terms, kinetic art encompasses sculptures
and installations that have movement as their primary consideration.

❖ Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle. Le Cyclop - La Tête

(1970) ❖ Alexander Calder - Triple Gong (1948_ ❖ Anthony
Howe - Real-World Screensavers (2013)

a style of art that is concerned with the technical ability to wow viewers. Primarily an American art
movement, it gained momentum in the late 1960s and 1970s as a reaction against Abstract
Expressionism. Here, artists were most concerned with replicating a photograph to the best of their
ability, carefully planning their work to great effect and eschewing the spontaneity that is the hallmark
of Abstract Expressionism. Similar to Pop Art, Photorealism is often focused on imagery related to
consumer culture.

❖ Yigal Ozeri - Untitled ( 2012.) ❖ Ralph Goings - Donut (1995) ❖ Chuck Close - Self Portrait (1997)
FAUVISM One of Fauvism's major contributions to modern art was its radical goal of separating color
from its descriptive, representational purpose and allowing it to exist on the canvas as an
independent element. Color could project a mood and establish a structure within the work of art
without having to be true to the natural world. Fauvism valued individual expression. The artist's
direct experience of his subjects, his emotional response to nature, and his intuition were all more
important than academic theory or elevated subject matter. All elements of painting were employed
in service of this goal.
 ❖ Henri Matisse - Luxe, Calme et Volupte (1904) ❖
Maurice de Vlaminck - The River Seine at Chatou
(1906) ❖ André Derain - Pinède à Cassis (Landscape)
(1907)
Seat No. 24 January 17, 2019 Ladrera, Lalaine R. BSED MT 1-1N FUTURISM The Futurists were
fascinated by the problems of representing modern experience, and strived to have their paintings
evoke all kinds of sensations - and not merely those visible to the eye. At its best, Futurist art brings
to mind the noise, heat and even the smell of the metropolis. The Futurists were fascinated by new
visual technology, in particular chrono-photography, a predecessor of animation and cinema that
allowed the movement of an object to be shown across a sequence of frames. This technology was
an important influence on their approach to showing movement in painting, encouraging an abstract
art with rhythmic, pulsating qualities.

❖ Umberto Boccioni - The City Rises (1910) ❖ Giacomo Balla - Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash
(1912) ❖ Natalia Goncharova - The Cyclist (1913) CLASSICISM This is a movement that can be
defined by its attention to traditional forms concentrating on elegance and symmetry. It takes the art
of the Greeks and Romans as its idea of perfection. Developing in Rome in the late 15th century,
the classical style was widespread particularly among the Renaissance artists. Their aim was to
capture the precision of the antique age which for them represented the possibility of attaining
absolute beauty in their art. Using examples such as the ‘Belvedere Torso’ and the ‘Medici Venus’,
the artists rejected emotionalism in favour of attention to form and detail.
