Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT As an independent genre in painting, landscape oil painting has undergone the process of breaking away from Western oil painting and forming a complete landscape color system, which is accompanied by the style evolution of color language. Taking the French Impressionism and Russian Itinerants as research object, the paper attempts to clear the development of landscape oil painting with art history as entry point in combination with style and characteristic of color language in Chinese landscape oil painting, highlighting the importance of outdoors painting for landscape color language, as well as providing relevant teaching with theory of beneficial complement and practical reference.

  • Digital Suprematism Overview
    DIGITAL SUPREMATISM "Tom R. Chambers is a Texan with a “Russian, Suprematist soul”. He has repeatedly introduced the modern trend of new media art to the masses. He has brought Minimalism to the pixel. In 2000, Chambers began to look at the pixel in the context of Abstraction and Minimalism. And he is currently working with interpretations of Kazimir Malevich’s “Black Square” and other Suprematist forms. His work calls our attention to visual singularity, which is all that we see in the digital universe. Since the pixel corresponds to what we call “subatomic particles” in our physical universe, Chambers’ work connects us directly with the feeling of Russian Suprematism, described as the spirit that pervades everything, and pays tribute to the faith in the ability of abstraction to convey “net feeling in the work.” (Curator, OMG [One Month Gallery], Moscow, Russia, 2015) Chambers states: “I have always liked Minimalist works and as a digital artist, I began to explore the pixel as an art form in 2000. As I did research, and experimented with this picture element, I also began to read about Kazimir Malevich and his extreme Minimalist approach with ‘Black Square’. The more I contemplated his ‘Black Square’, the deeper I moved into the pixel and consequently the creation of the ‘My Dear Malevich’ project, which revealed similar to identical Suprematist forms that he created. I have focused on the pixel and his ‘Black Square’ ever since.” My Dear Malevich (MDM) (http://tomrchambers.com/malevich.html) In 2007, Chambers traveled (via magnification) into a digitized photograph of Malevich and discovered at the singular pixel level arrangements which echo back directly to Malevich's own totally abstract compositions.

  • Nature and the American Vision: the Hudson River School
    Nature and the American Vision: The Hudson River School “The painter of American scenery has indeed privileges superior to any other; all nature here is new to Art.” —Thomas Cole Nature and the American Vision: The Hudson River School is designed as a grand tour of the nineteenth-century American landscape, and the paintings on view reveal much about issues of national identity, westward expansion, mistreatment of the native population, and the beginnings of environmentalism in the United States. These curriculum materials are intended to help teachers discuss the paintings of the Hudson River School, in hopes that the works explored here can be used to create lessons in social science, language arts, geography, natural history, and science, among other subjects. The Hudson River School, which emerged by 1825 and continued to thrive until the end of the nineteenth century, was the first truly American art movement. While the term “Hudson River School” originated as a dismissive nickname referring to the perceived provincialism of its members, in time it came to represent a distinctive and vibrant movement devoted to the depiction of untamed American scenery as a symbol of America’s independent spirit. In Europe, writers and painters were exploring landscape as a vehicle through which to communicate universal truths, and landscape painting was acquiring more prestige as nature was increasingly associated with spirituality and the divine in Western culture. As these ideas spread to the United States, landscape acquired new connotations within American culture. The Hudson River School celebrated the exploration of the natural world as a source of spiritual renewal and an expression of national identity.

These artists took advantage of their worker status to learn and practice art legitimately in the Mass Art System of the time. They developed their particular style and vision of art from their amateur art training, forbidden visual and textual sources in the underground cultural sphere, and official theoretical debates on art.

  • Forest in Boisrémond, T. Rousseau, (PDF, 94KB)
    J. Paul Getty Museum Education Department When Impressionism Was a Dirty Word Information and Questions for Teaching Forest in Boisrémond, Théodore Rousseau Forest in Boisrémond Théodore Rousseau French, Barbizon, 1842 Black chalk (recto); graphite (verso) 10 13/16 x 17 1/2 in. 2002.3 Questions for Teaching What do you notice first about this drawing? Why do you think your eye is drawn to this area first? Focus in on one tree in the composition. What kinds of lines did the artist use to create the tree? What details do you notice in the background? Describe the lines the artist used to create these details. Théodore Rousseau called his drawings of trees "portraits." After looking at this drawing, why do you think he said this? Background Information Théodore Rousseau thought of trees as almost human. He called his drawings of trees "portraits" and the trees themselves "beings." His rendering of a pathway winding through an old forest demonstrates this affinity for natural entities. Zigzags of chalk and a line of trees give the hillside a rugged character, defining a downhill slope from the left side of the drawing to the lower right corner. There, Rousseau incorporated a serpentine creek with curved lines along the right side, leading to a distant, small town with a church. At the far left of the drawing, a person stands on the pathway, providing a sense of scale and distance. The artists of the Barbizon School were among the first to paint and draw en plein air, taking their tools outdoors to create their works of art, rather than inventing a scene from memory in a studio.

  • The Barbizon School of Painters Were Part of an Art Movement Towards Realism in Art, Which Arose in the Context of the Dominant Romantic Movement of the Time
    Barbizon School The Barbizon school of painters were part of an art movement towards Realism in art, which arose in the context of the dominant Romantic Movement of the time. The Barbizon school was active roughly from 1830 until 1870. It takes its name from the village of Barbizon, France, near the Forest of Fontainebleau, where many of the artists gathered. Some of the most prominent features of this school are its tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork, and softness of form. In 1824 the Salon de Paris exhibited works of John Constable. His rural scenes influenced some of the younger artists of the time, moving them to abandon formalism and to draw inspiration directly from nature. Natural scenes became the subjects of their paintings rather than mere backdrops to dramatic events. During the Revolutions of 1848 artists gathered at Barbizon to follow Constable's ideas, making nature the subject of their paintings. The French landscape became a major theme of the Barbizon painters. The leaders of the Barbizon school were Théodore Rousseau, Jean-François Millet, and Charles-François Daubigny. Rousseau, Thunderstorms mood in the level of Montmartre 1845-48 Rousseau, Avenue of Chestnut Treees Rousseau, Avenue of Chestnut Treees 1837 watercolour Théodore Rousseau (1812 – 1867) was born in Paris, France in a bourgeois family. Although at first his father regretted his decision to persue a carreer as an artist he became reconciled to his son forsaking business, and throughout the artist's career (for he survived his son) was a sympathizer with him in all his conflicts with the Paris Salon authorities.

It is best defined as an artist’s mastery of a variety of painting techniques, including the depiction of atmosphere and natural light, intended to produce a picture that mimicked reality. This style reached its height in the latter part of the 19th century. Major artists of this period include: William Bouguereau, Jean-Léon Gérome, Alexandre Cabanel, Briton Riviere, and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Modern: Impressionism and Post-Impressionism; the commencement of modern painting. This period is the beginning of experimentation with form, color, brushwork, and subject matter leading to modern art. These artists experimented with depicting the effects of light and using expressive color and brushwork to portray both figures and landscapes. Founding members include: Claude Monet, Eugène Boudin, Camille Pissarro, Pierre Auguste Renoir, and Albert Guillaumin—and their contemporaries—Edmond Petitjean, Henri Lebasque, Henri Martin, and Georges d’Espagnat. These artitsts produced works which continue to be most favored for their market value and aesthetic merit. 2 (at The Ritz-Carlton) Welcome to Guarisco Gallery Guarisco Gallery is a leading international gallery founded in 1980 specializing in museum quality 19th - and early 20th - century paintings and sculpture.

  • Exhibition Checklist Unruly Nature: the Landscapes of Théodore Rousseau
    1 EXHIBITION CHECKLIST UNRULY NATURE: THE LANDSCAPES OF THÉODORE ROUSSEAU At the J. Paul Getty Museum, Getty Center, June 21, 2016 – September 11, 2016 By the late nineteenth century, the stature of Théodore Rousseau (1812–1867) as one of Europe’s preeminent landscapists was firmly established, and he was celebrated internationally as a leader of the Barbizon School, named after the village on the edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau where he and other pioneering artists had taken up residence in the 1840s and 1850s. After a few years of academic training, Rousseau came to the fore in the 1830s as one of the Romantic era’s great independents and a controversial exemplar of the period’s new spirit of naturalism. Restlessly inventive, he skipped the time-honored trip to Italy and instead found a lifetime’s inspiration in the varied regions of his native France, which he approached with great sensitivity and ecological awareness. Few landscapists before him had tackled such an array of subjects or paid such attention to the variable effects of season, weather, and time of day, and few had experimented with such a range of graphic and painterly styles and techniques in the process. Exploratory and open-ended in its pursuit of new formulas of expression, Rousseau’s oeuvre was a fundamentally unruly one, testifying to an exciting moment of discovery in French art when the once-lowly genre of landscape became one of the most consequential, a generation before the Impressionists came on the scene. This is the first major international loan exhibition in North America devoted to Rousseau’s work.
