  • Comparison of Matisse and Picasso's Treatment of the Human Body
    Depiction of the body Matisse vs. Karie Edwards Eric Jones Picasso Chenla Ou Pablo Picasso 1881-1973 Henri Matisse 1869-1954 Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso were two of the twentieth century's greatest rivals and yet no two artists inspired each other more.-- www.matisse-picasso.org “Expression, for me, does not reside in passions glowing in a human face or manifested by violent movement. The entire arrangement of my picture is expressive; the place occupied by the figures, the empty spaces around them, the proportions, everything has its share.” – Henri Matisse “The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present. I have never had time for the idea of searching. Whenever I wanted to express something, I did so without thinking of the past or the future. I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should. Different themes inevitably require different methods of expression. This does not imply either evolution or progress; it is a matter of following the idea one wants to express and the way in which one wants to express it.” -- Picasso “We must talk to each other as much as we can. When one of us dies, there will be some things the other will never be able to talk of with anyone else.” --Henri Matisse to Pablo Picasso Matisse Time Line 1869: Born in Cateau-Cambrésis, France

  • Bonheur De Vivre
    BONHEUR DE VIVRE 18 March – 27 May 2016 Henri Matisse, Jeune fille à la mauresque, robe verte, 1921, oil on canvas, 66 x 55 cm. Courtesy Bernard Jacobson Gallery Bernard Jacobson Gallery is delighted to announce Bonheur de Vivre, an exhibition of 16 works by some of the greatest masters of the twentieth century, titled after the seminal Henri Matisse painting Le Bonheur de Vivre (1905-06). Bonheur de Vivre is the result of long-held desire by Bernard Jacobson to present work by some of the great artists who have particularly inspired and sustained his own love of modern art throughout a long and distinguished career as a gallerist. The exhibition is an unalloyed celebration of beauty, joy, colour and light; beginning with Henri Matisse, it traces the revolution in art that sprang from Le Bonheur de Vivre and the inspiration it proved to artists including Joan Miró, Alexander Calder, Sam Francis and Robert Motherwell, selected important works of which are included in Bonheur de Vivre. Matisse is represented with three remarkable, light-filled paintings of single female sitters all originating from his long working sojourn in the South of France; Jeune fille à la mauresque, robe verte (1921), Nu au peignoir (1933) and Jeune femme assise en robe grise (1942). In the apparent simplicity of these three paintings Matisse fully demonstrates his virtuosity, both by the fluidity of line which captures the youth and supple grace of his sitters and by the brilliance of pictorial light, so redolent of the South of France, created by the juxtaposition of one intense hue against another.

In fact his Blue and Rose Periods, when he mostly painted outcasts in a nostalgic style influenced by El Greco’s mannerism, can be squarely placed within the 19th century tradition of symbo- list painting. But with his Iberian experiments of the same year, he is struggling with his sentimental side in order to “modernize” himself.2 Although Iberian sculptures are archaic, not modern, they offer a way: they are “primitive,” that is, they provide something different than the academically acknowledged tradition.

  • Les Pensees De Pascal, Matisse
    Les Pensees de Pascal, Henri Matisse, 1924, 2010.37, G371 Questions: 1. Look carefully and describe what you see. 2. How does Matisse’s love affair with color play out here? 3. Matisse sought to achieve simplicity and balance in his paintings. What could be aspects of simplicity and balance in this piece? 4. How does Matisse seem to play with the contrasts between interior and exterior spaces? What other contrasts come to mind? 5. Matisse famously said, “Art should be devoid of troubling or depressing matter...a soothing, calming influence on the mind, something like a good armchair that provides relaxation from fatigue.” How could this painting be considered therapeutic? Explain. Main Points 1. Matisse regarded simplicity, balance, and serenity as the supreme achievement and message of French art. 2. Matisse’s art is important for its abstraction, spirituality, and subjectivity. 3. He recognized the importance of still-lifes in his own development. He copied paintings by Chardin and de Heem (1893) early on and reinterpreted de Heem in 1915. 4. He was searching for “what I believed to be exceptional in myself with means (colors) richer than in linear drawing, with which I brought forth what moved me in nature, through the empathy I created between the objects that surrounded me, around which I revolved and into which I succeeded in pouring my feelings of tenderness without risking to suffer from doing so as in life.” 5. Objects were not symbols or metaphors, literary references, not even important for their function. 6. Many of Matisse’s paintings include a window, allowing for depiction of both the interior of a room and the view of the exterior.

  • Impressionism Post-Impressionism and Fauvism
    • This lecture provides a quick introduction to Impressionism, the Post- Impressionists, particularly Paul Cézanne, Divisionism/Pointillism, the Fauves and Matisse • The lecture ends with the exhibition held by Roger Fry in 1910 called Manet and the Post-Impressionists. This is regarded as a turning point and the time when developments that had taken place in France over the previous 20 years were seen in England. Although made fun of by the critics it changed the way many artists worked. Notes • The following are not covered as they were covered in the course last year. • Introduce the influence on England Whistler, English Impressionists • New English Art Club • Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) is the only artist to have shown his work at all eight Paris Impressionist exhibitions, from 1874 to 1886. He ‘acted as a father figure not only to the Impressionists’ but to all four of the major Post-Impressionists, including Georges Seurat (1859-1891), Paul Cézanne (1839-1906), Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890, died aged 37)) and Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). • Roger Fry 1 • Created the name Post-Impressionist, started the Omega Workshop (Fitzroy Square), curator Metropolitan Museum, ‘discovered’ Paul Cezanne, Slade Professor • Wrote An Essay in Aesthetics • Organised the 1910 ‘Manet and the Post-Impressionists’ Exhibition, Grafton Galleries. ‘On or about December 1910 human character changed’ Vanessa Bell. • Organised the 1912 ‘Second Post-Impressionist Exhibition’.

Its roots lie in the work of the Symbolists and of Post-Impressionists such as Gauguin and Van Gogh. The colours are often strong and highly intense and often non-naturalistic and the brushwork is typically free and paint application tends to be generous and highly teXtured.

  • Les Demoiselles D'avignon, Was Painted in 1907 and Is the Most Famous Example of Cubism Painting
    Courtesy of www.PabloPicasso.org Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (Click above to see an image of the painting or see a smaller image below) This painting, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, was painted in 1907 and is the most famous example of cubism painting. In this painting, Picasso abandoned all known form and representation of traditional art. He used distortion of female's body and geometric forms in an innovative way, which challenge the expectation that paintings will offer idealized representations of female beauty. It also shows the influence of African art on Picasso. This painting is a large work and took nine months to complete. It demonstrates the true genius and novelty of Picasso's passion. He created hundreds of sketches and studies to prepare for the final work. Some critics argue that the painting was a reaction to Henri Matisse'sLe bonheur de vivre and Blue Nude. Its resemblance to The Large Bathers of Paul Cezanne, Statue Oviri of Gauguin and Opening of the Fifth Seal of El Greco has been broadly talked about by later critics. When it first exhibited in 1916, the painting was regarded as immoral. After nine years of the painting being created, Picasso had always referred to it as Le Bordel d'Avignon, but art critic Andre Salmon, who managed its first exhibition, renamed it Les Demoiselles d'Avignon to reduce its outrageous effect on general society. Picasso never liked Salmon's title, and as an compromise would have preferred las chicas de Avignon instead. Courtesy of www.PabloPicasso.org In 1972, art critic commentator Leo Steinberg in his article The Philosophical Brothel set an entirely distinctive clarification for the extensive variety of expressive characteristics.
