Grade Four Session One – the Theme of Modernism Grade Four Session One – The Theme of Modernism Fourth Grade Overview: In a departure from past years’ programs, the fourth grade program will examine works of art in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in preparation for and anticipation of a field trip in 5th grade to MoMA. The works chosen are among the most iconic in the collection and are part of the teaching tools employed by MoMA’s education department. Further information, ideas and teaching tips are available on MoMA’s website and we encourage you to explore the site yourself and incorporate additional information should you find it appropriate. http://www.moma.org/learn/moma_learning! To begin the session, you may explain that the designation “Modern Art” came into existence after the invention of the camera nearly 200 years ago (officially 1839 – further information available at http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/dagu/hd_dagu.htm). Artists no longer had to rely on their own hand (painting or drawing) to realistically depict the world around them, as the camera could mechanically reproduce what artists had been doing with pencils and paintbrushes for centuries. With the invention of the camera, artists were free to break from convention and academic tradition and explore different styles of painting, experimenting with color, shapes, textures and perspective. Thus MODERN ART was born. Grade Four Session One First image Henri Rousseau The Dream 1910 Oil on canvas 6’8 1/2” x 9’ 9 ½ inches Collection: Museum of Modern Art, New York (NOTE: DO NOT SHARE IMAGE TITLE YET) Project the image onto the SMARTboard. Ask the students to take a couple of moments to look closely at the image but not to say anything, just look closely and carefully. After a few minutes ask them: What do you see in this image? What do you notice? What is going on in this picture? Make sure they support their comments with specific details from the composition and give them plenty of time. Some questions to further the discussion: Bring up the elements of art (shape, color, form and line) and ask them to point out the different elements in the painting. Do the animals and people look realistic? Why and/or why not? How do the animals look in the painting? Scared? Ferocious? Do you think the artist actually saw a scene like this? How do you think the woman in the painting might have gotten to where she is? What about the other figure in the center of the painting? Who might he/she be? How and what is the mood and/or feeling conveyed in this painting? Depending on the direction your conversation takes, you may wish to further engage the children in a discussion of the two figures in the painting: the woman reclining on a divan and the darker figure in the center of the painting. Who might this person be? How do we know? (It’s a male snake charmer and you’ll the orange snake slithering in right foreground; it’s also been noted that the model for the reclining woman was a friend of Rousseau’s named Yawigha). Now is a good time to reveal the title of the painting (The Dream) and the name of the artist (Henri Rousseau). The title of the painting will have more significance to the children once they have discussed the work in detail. Now tell the children a little bit about the artist and, most significantly, how he never left France during his life, but rather gleaned all his knowledge from visits to the botanical gardens and zoo in Paris and by reading lots of material on the these subjects. In fact, before he retired at age 49 and became a full-time “artist”, he was a customs inspector for the French government for 20 years. About the Image: “The Dream” was painted by Henri Rousseau in 1910. Rousseau was a curious figure in the early twentieth-century avant-garde. He was not trained as a painter and instead he was a self-taught artist whose day job was as a customs agent. His work centered on exotic renditions of jungle scenes which are detailed with great precision in terms of the foliage, the animals, and the landscape. Rousseau never left Paris. Rather, he got all of his knowledge for the horticultural details by going to the botanical gardens in Paris, by going to the zoos to look at the various birds and animals, and by reading lots of magazines that were charting the sort of exotic places that travelers and explorers were just starting to go to on other continents. Rousseau titled his painting “The Dream” because there is this very strange situation of an upholstered sofa in the middle of the jungle on which this woman with her two braids sits naked staring out at the scene ahead of her. One interpretation that the artist gave was that the woman was reclining on this sofa in some living room in Paris, and she was dreaming this jungle around her. But there are so many ways to think about this painting and that it's much more fun to leave it open in your mind as to how this lady on the sofa got into this jungle. This painting was first exhibited just a few months before Rousseau’s death in September of 1910 in Paris. http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=79277 About the Artist: Henri Rousseau is most celebrated as being one of the best naive artists of the time. His work can also be viewed as a precursor to Surrealism with its juxtaposition of unlikely people and things and the fantastical, dreamlike qualities associated with his paintings. Rousseau was given the nickname La Douanier (“Customs Officer”) which stemmed from a job he held from 1871 to 1893 when he worked with the Paris Customs Office. Prior to this career, he served in the army. During this time, painting was something that he did as a hobby. In 1893 he accepted early retirement, which allowed him to focus on painting full time. This in turn allowed him to better his form and create a name for himself in the world of art. Although much of his work was often ridiculed, he did not waiver in the form and style in which he created his artwork. There is a traditional, academic quality to his work that was very unlike the work of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists who were working at the same time in Paris. His ability to see beyond the eye's reach, and his ability to perceive what was not seen on paper gave his work extreme depth and helped him create a diverse set of paintings during his career. Like most artists, shortly following his death, Henri Rousseau became an extremely well known name in the art world. Rousseau died on September 2, 1910 in Paris. http://www.henrirousseau.net/ Grade Four Session One Second Image Pablo Picasso Demoiselles d’Avignon 1907 Oil on canvas 8’ x 7’ 8” Collection: Museum of Modern Art, New York Project the image onto the SMARTboard and before you start asking them questions, allow them to absorb the image quietly on their own. Some children may recognize the image and you can encourage that but don’t give anything away yet. You may start the dialogue by bringing up the subject of Portraiture. Portraits can represent individuals in many different ways. They can be literal representations of a person or they can represent a person symbolically. As we had previously discussed, with the invention of photography, painters began to explore new ways to represent the world, breaking with the literal and representational compositions of the previous era. Rather than just seeking to capture the sitter’s physical appearance, many artists sought to represent his or her character, disposition, and even inner psyche. In order to represent such subjective and symbolic aspects of their subjects, artists often paid less attention to capturing precise facial features than to developing new compositional devices, employing non-naturalistic color (also called “arbitrary color”), and making very specific choices about the background and what it might reveal about the subject. http://www.moma.org/learn/moma_learning/themes/what-is-modern-art/modern- portraits Some of the students may have already guessed the artist and you may tell the class the artist’s name and the title of the painting – Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. Now you can begin with some questions: What do you see in this image? What do you notice? What is going on in this picture? How does Picasso choose to portray these women? Where do you think he found the inspiration for their faces? Which elements of art can you point out in this painting? How do certain of these elements affect the mood or feeling of the painting? You can discuss with the students that Picasso painted Les Demoiselles d’Avignon after encountering African masks and Iberian sculpture at the Palais du Trocadéro, a Paris museum. Picasso, like many of his contemporaries, drew inspiration from non-European art. African masks, with their radical simplification and stylization of human features, suggested an alternative to conventions of Western painting and representation, and challenged artists like Picasso to develop new forms of representation. Another interesting conversation topic is to point out that when this painting was first shown to the public it outraged many people, including some of Picasso’s closest friends. People thought it was ugly, ridiculous and distasteful. In fact, it wasn’t shown in public again for almost 40 years.

Galenson Volume Publisher: Cambridge University Press Volume ISBN: 978-0-521-11232-1 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/gale08-1 Publication Date: October 2009 Title: The Greatest Artists of the Twentieth Century Author: David W. Galenson URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c5785 Chapter 2: The Greatest Artists of the Twentieth Century Introduction The masters, truth to tell, are judged as much by their influence as by their works. Emile Zola, 18841 Important artists are innovators: they are important because they change the way their successors work. The more widespread, and the more profound, the changes due to the work of any artist, the greater is the importance of that artist. Recognizing the source of artistic importance points to a method of measuring it. Surveys of art history are narratives of the contributions of individual artists. These narratives describe and explain the changes that have occurred over time in artists’ practices. It follows that the importance of an artist can be measured by the attention devoted to his work in these narratives. The most important artists, whose contributions fundamentally change the course of their discipline, cannot be omitted from any such narrative, and their innovations must be analyzed at length; less important artists can either be included or excluded, depending on the length of the specific narrative treatment and the tastes of the author, and if they are included their contributions can be treated more summarily.

  • California State University, Northridge Exploitation
    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE EXPLOITATION, WOMEN AND WARHOL A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art by Kathleen Frances Burke May 1986 The Thesis of Kathleen Frances Burke is approved: Louise Leyis, M.A. Dianne E. Irwin, Ph.D. r<Iary/ Kenan Ph.D. , Chair California State. University, Northridge ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to Dr. Mary Kenon Breazeale, whose tireless efforts have brought it to fruition. She taught me to "see" and interpret art history in a different way, as a feminist, proving that women's perspectives need not always agree with more traditional views. In addition, I've learned that personal politics does not have to be sacrificed, or compartmentalized in my life, but that it can be joined with a professional career and scholarly discipline. My time as a graduate student with Dr. Breazeale has had a profound effect on my personal life and career, and will continue to do so whatever paths my life travels. For this I will always be grateful. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In addition, I would like to acknowledge the other members of my committee: Louise Lewis and Dr. Dianne Irwin. They provided extensive editorial comments which helped me to express my ideas more clearly and succinctly. I would like to thank the six branches of the Glendale iii Public Library and their staffs, in particular: Virginia Barbieri, Claire Crandall, Fleur Osmanson, Nora Goldsmith, Cynthia Carr and Joseph Fuchs. They provided me with materials and research assistance for this project. I would also like to thank the members of my family.

  • Pop Artists Andy Warhol (1925 – 1987) Is the Standard Bearer of Pop Art and Now One of the Most Famous Artists in the World
    Moxie University Shares: University Pop Artists Andy Warhol (1925 – 1987) is the standard bearer of Pop Art and now one of the most famous artists in the world. He was born to immigrant parents from Eastern Europe and was frail, solitary and unpopular as a child. He contracted scarlet fever and the subsequent complications kept him in bed for a lengthy time. While in bed he listened to the radio and collected pictures of movie stars. This experience would set his career-path. He would get a degree in commercial art and work in NY at commercial advertising agencies. His first “works” were whimsical illustrations of women’s fashion shoes, he seemed to give the shoes a unique personality of their own. In the early 60’s Warhol would start a revolution in art by depicting ordinary items of consumption as “Art.” This would become the catalyst for “pop” art. In general Warhol sought (By Jack Mitchell, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=15047586) out the most ironic and cynical elements to satirize in American society. His works were his way of “thumbing his nose” at American Exceptionalism in an age when America was at its zenith in terms of global cultural power and influence. In the end he wanted to be a celebrity more than he wanted to be an artist, fame was its own-just- reward. He is also responsible for creating an industrial method of producing works with his “factory” process. Warhol’s later life could be thought of as the first instance of a Reality-TV-Show, just the act of living was an “Art” on its own.

  • Reflected in the Mirror There Was a Shadow Roy Lichtenstein Andy Warhol
    REFLECTED IN THE MIRROR THERE WAS A SHADOW ROY LICHTENSTEIN ANDY WARHOL 1 2 3 4 REFLECTED IN THE MIRROR THERE WAS A SHADOW ROY LICHTENSTEIN ANDY WARHOL November 1 – December 23, 2011 LEO CASTELLI To confront a person with his shadow is to show him his own light. Once one has experienced a few times what it is like to stand judgingly between the opposites, one begins to understand what is meant by the self. Anyone who perceives his shadow and his light simultaneously sees himself from two sides and thus gets in the middle. (Carl Jung, Good and Evil in Analytical Psychology, 1959) Roy Lichtenstein’s new paintings based on mirrors show that he has taken on another broad challenge – that of abstract, invented forms. The Mirror paintings are close to being total abstractions. Nothing recognizable is “reflected” in them, but their surfaces are broken into curving shards of “light,” or angular refractive complexities. They are, in effect elaborately composed pictures of reflections of air. (…) The specific source for the “imagery” of the mirrors is the schematic denotation of reflections and highlights derived from cheap furniture catalogues or small glass company ads. However the distance of Lichtenstein's illusory Mirrors from their sources is so great that the interest is frankly elsewhere. Any tacky connotations (formerly to be cherished) are now dissipated in the paintings’ final fastidious grandeur. (Elizabeth Baker, “The Glass of Fashion and the Mold of Form,” ArtNews, April 1971) Roy Lichtenstein, Paintings: Mirror, 1984 Oil and Magna on canvas, 70 x 86 inches 4 To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools This way to dusty death.

  • GUIDE to MAJORS at YESHIVA: ART What Is the Art Major? What
    GUIDE TO MAJORS AT YESHIVA: ART Choosing a major can be stressful, but it is important to understand that you can pursue almost any career regardless of which major you choose. While there are some exceptions, most entry-level positions simply require general transferable skills—those that can be learned in one setting and applied in another. Relevant experience through internships and activities is generally more important to employers than a major. It is best to choose an area that you find interesting and where you have the ability to do well. What is the Art Major? The Art department at Stern College for Women offers students an opportunity to develop a Shaped Major with a focus in either Art History (34 credits) or Studio Art (40-41 credits). Art History is the study of art from various periods, cultures, and parts of the world. It teaches students to interpret and understand works of art of many types, by learning about artists' lives and their societies. Studio Art aims to strengthen a student’s natural talent in either the fine arts or the various design fields by offering courses in painting, design, architecture, fashion, drawing, sculpture, or computer graphics. The student develops a Shaped Major based on her particular art interest. Students also may sign up for an 18-credit Art Minor. Furthermore, any Stern College student who wishes to explore her artistic side is welcome in classes. Majors may take up to ten credits at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), and minors may take five credits. What can I do with a Major in Art? Graduates with a focus on Art History can enter a wide range of professional careers including museums, galleries, auction houses, education, publishing and more.
