The human form is always rendered in a rigid pose with designated colors to indicate a particular saint or holy person. Over the centuries this style remains true to its Orthodox beliefs and unchanging in its visual presentation. • RENAISSANCE ART: 1400 - 1600 AD The Humanistic movement of the period was reflected in the visual artists' desire to portray nature and people-centered scenes realistically. Academic study of nature led to art works that used the concepts of perspective, foreshortening, and shading to create the illusion of three-dimensional space on a flat surface. DEVELOPMENTS AND INFLUENCES: The development of photography in the 1850's captured an image of life realistically and caused painters and artists to explore other styles beyond realism. African sculptures and masks were brought to Europe at this time and greatly influenced the Western-European artists. The use of simplified, 2D, geometric forms as found in native cultures were adapted to European painting and sculpture and termed "modern". Now, when we see in art an emphasis on the two dimensional, abstracted, flattened imagery and use of an emotional or interior language, we owe much to traditional native peoples and their cultural expression. • THE MODERN AGE IMPRESSIONISM: Slice of Life", everyday subject matter rendered with hasty brush strokes to create a quick impression of the objects. Often forms are cut by the painting's edge--much in disregard of the academic centered painting of the Renaissance time BEGIN SELECTION OF YOUR ARTIST UNITS FROM THIS POINT FORWARD: 6 POST IMPRESSIONISM: - various approaches to the new manner of image making - emphasis on 2D rather than 3D - background is becoming as important as the main subject matter - abstraction of reality A: FORMALISM PAUL CEZANNE (1839-1906) emphasis on solid clearly bounded color areas architectural approach to seeing the world in terms of geometric shapes; cones, cubes, cylinders worked to make impressionism solid and durable B: CUBISM: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris • monochrome palette - browns and grays • geometric breakup of space/shading dark to light • emphasis on 2D rather than 3D C: POINTILLISM OR DIVISIONISM George Seurat (1859-1891) • scientific exploration of color and the optical process • no line or plane of color is used - only dots D: EXPRESSIONISM Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) • vivid color • emotional content • vivid brush strokes E. SYMBOLISM Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) • quest for religious experience - religious theme • flat color areas • interest in "primitivism"- back to the non-European cultures that were in tune with nature and the deeper meaning of life F: EDWARD MUNCH (1863-1944) • psychological artistic representation of inner demons and emotions • starkly expressive style Between 1901-06 comprehensive exhibits in Paris of the works of Van Gough, Gauguin and Cezanne introduced a broad range of new artists to these revolutionary painting styles.

[email protected] ANDRÉ DERAIN 1880 – 1954 FROM FAUVISM TO CLASSICISM January 24 – February 21, 2020 WHEN THE FAUVES... SOME MEMORIES BY ANDRÉ DERAIN At the end of July 1895, carrying a drawing prize and the first prize for natural science, I left Chaptal College with no regrets, leaving behind the reputation of a bad student, lazy and disorderly. Having been a brilliant pupil of the Fathers of the Holy Cross, I had never got used to lay education. The teachers, the caretakers, the students all left me with memories which remained more bitter than the worst moments of my military service. The son of Villiers de l’Isle-Adam was in my class. His mother, a very modest and retiring lady in black, waited for him at the end of the day. I had another friend in that sinister place, Linaret. We were the favourites of M. Milhaud, the drawing master, who considered each of us as good as the other. We used to mark our classmates’s drawings and stayed behind a few minutes in the drawing class to put away the casts and the easels. This brought us together in a stronger friendship than students normally enjoy at that sort of school. I left Chaptal and went into an establishment which, by hasty and rarely effective methods, prepared students for the great technical colleges. It was an odd class there, a lot of colonials and architects.

  • Fauvism (Henri Matisse)  Non-Realistic Colours Are Used but the Paintings Are Seemingly Realistic
    Non-Photorealistic Rendering of Images Work Division This project has been dealt with in three phases- Phase 1 Identifying explicit features Phase 2 Verification using viewers Phase 3 Technology(Coding) Phase 1 In this phase we tried to identify the explicit features in a group of paintings belonging to the same period and/or to the same artist. Following are the styles we implemented using image processing tools Fauvism Pointillism Cubism Divisionism Post Impressionism(Van Gogh) Phase 1 Fauvism The subject matter is simple. The paintings are made up of non-realistic and strident colours and are characterized by wild brush work. Phase 1 Pointillism We noticed that the paintings had a lot of noise in them and it looked like they were made by grouping many dots together in a proper way. There’s no focus on the separation of colours. Phase 1 Cubism It looked as if the painting was looked through a shattered glass which makes it look distorted. Phase 1 Divisionism The paintings are made up of small rectangles with curved edges each with a single colour which interact visually. Phase 1 Post Impressionism (Van Gogh) These paintings have small, thin yet visible brush strokes. They have a bright, bold palette. Unnatural and arbitrary colours are used. Phase 2 In this phase we verified the features we identified in phase 1 with other people We showed them a group of paintings belonging to a certain era and/or an artist and asked them to write down the most striking features common to all those paintings. Phase 2 Here are the inferences we made from the statistics collected Fauvism (Henri Matisse) Non-realistic colours are used but the paintings are seemingly realistic.

  • FAUVISM and ITS COLOR Deb Komitor Art History Paper in Partial
    FAUVISM AND ITS COLOR Deb Komitor Art History Paper In partial fulfillment of the Master of Fine Arts Program The basic premise to early 20th century avant-garde art was that painting should offer an equivalent to nature and not an imitation of 1't • 1 This freedom is implied by the pre-sense of color being used as a non-descriptive element rather than to describe subjects in a realistic manner. This freeing of color from formal description was the basis of fauvism. Fauvism was a synthetic movement seeking to include and expand art styles from the immediate past. It looked back on the means in which Gauguin, van Gogh, Seurat, the Nabis, and the Neo-Impressionists approached color. Color was being used to designate emotions, thoughts, and ideas, rather than just to enhance the realistic rendering of subject matter. Fauvism was neither a school nor a system; it was merely chance encounters and common aspirations of a group of young independ- 2 ent painters, who reacted more or less alike to the climate of the times. Matisse was the central figure in the Fauve group. His early law studies would ahve provided him with a secure future, but in 1890 while recovering from an appendicitis operation he discovered his great love for painting. A year later he persuaded his father to allow him to go to Paris to attend painting classes at the Julian Academy, where he was taught by Bouguereau and Ferrier. Matisse, however, could not agree with their illustrious style of painting nor their method of teaching and was in fact thrown out of the life class.

    Art Masterpiece: La Grande Jatte, 1884-1886 by Georges Seurat Keywords: Pointillism and Neo-Impressionism Grade: 5th – 6th Activity: Mosaics / Pointillism Meet the Artist: • Born in France in 1859 to a family that supported his desire to be an artist. Georges Seurat received art schooling in Paris. • Initially rejected by the impressionist artists of the day, he decided to associate with other artists. He created a new style that was a “new” form of impressionism called Neo- Impressionism. • Impressionists painted in a manner that the painting was the image you see if you simply take a quick look at it. • Neo- Impressionists painted so that it was more orderly, more scientific. • Eventually, his technique was given the title “pointillism “ He never cared for this title. In pointillism, the artist uses dots or dashes to complete a picture. The paintings tend to look grainy, meaning up close one would only see “points” or small dashes, but from farther away, a picture emerges. • He believed that this form of painting would make colors appear more brilliant and powerful than standard brush strokes. • His paintings were very large and he painted only a handful of complete paintings in his lifetime and 60 smaller paintings. He sought to make Chandler Unified School District Art Masterpiece every inch of the canvas perfect. He sometimes took years to finish a painting. • La Grande Jatte took over 2 years for the artist to complete. The size of this piece is approximately 7’ x 10’. • The island of la Grande Jatte is located at the very gates of Paris, lying in the Seine between Neuilly and Levallois-Perret, a short distance from where currently stands La Défense business district.
