La Tour Eiffel Georges Seurat. He was a French painter in the late 18th Century. He was born in 1859 and died in 1891. He believed that the artist could create mood, harmony and emotion in art by using colours and lines. He painted using small distinct dots of colors directly on the canvas, without mixing the paint. This way when you stand a distance away, the dots seem to blend in into the desired color. His style of painting is called Pointillism. If you look closely at his paintings you will see that they are made out of many tiny dots. Robert Delaunay Eiffel Tower 1926.

Jean METZINGER (Nantes 1883 - Paris 1956)
Jean METZINGER (Nantes 1883 - Paris 1956) The Yellow Feather (La Plume Jaune) Pencil on paper. Signed and dated Metzinger 12 in pencil at the lower left. 315 x 231 mm. (12 3/8 x 9 1/8 in.) The present sheet is closely related to Jean Metzinger’s large painting The Yellow Feather, a seminal Cubist canvas of 1912, which is today in an American private collection. The painting was one of twelve works by Metzinger included in the Cubist exhibition at the Salon de La Section d’Or in 1912. One of the few paintings of this period to be dated by the artist, The Yellow Feather is regarded by scholars as a touchstone of Metzinger’s early Cubist period. Drawn with a precise yet sensitive handling of fine graphite on paper, the drawing repeats the multifaceted, fragmented planes of the face in the painting, along with the single staring eye, drawn as a simple curlicue. The Yellow Feather was one of several Cubist paintings depicting women in fashionable clothes, and with ostrich feathers in their hats, which were painted by Metzinger in 1912 and 1913. Provenance: alerie Hopkins-Thomas, Paris Private collection, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, until 2011.

Artist description: Trained in the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, Jean Metzinger sent three paintings to the Salon des Indépendants in 1903 and, having sold them, soon thereafter settled in Paris.

CUBISM and ABSTRACTION Background
015_Cubism_Abstraction.doc READINGS: CUBISM AND ABSTRACTION Background: Apollinaire, On Painting Apollinaire, Various Poems Background: Magdalena Dabrowski, "Kandinsky: Compositions" Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art Background: Serial Music Background: Eugen Weber, CUBISM, Movements, Currents, Trends, p. 254. As part of the great campaign to break through to reality and express essentials, Paul Cezanne had developed a technique of painting in almost geometrical terms and concluded that the painter "must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone:" At the same time, the influence of African sculpture on a group of young painters and poets living in Montmartre - Picasso, Braque, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Derain, and Andre Salmon - suggested the possibilities of simplification or schematization as a means of pointing out essential features at the expense of insignificant ones. Both Cezanne and the Africans indicated the possibility of abstracting certain qualities of the subject, using lines and planes for the purpose of emphasis. But if a subject could be analyzed into a series of significant features, it became possible (and this was the great discovery of Cubist painters) to leave the laws of perspective behind and rearrange these features in order to gain a fuller, more thorough, view of the subject. The painter could view the subject from all sides and attempt to present its various aspects all at the same time, just as they existed-simultaneously. We have here an attempt to capture yet another aspect of reality by fusing time and space in their representation as they are fused in life, but since the medium is still flat the Cubists introduced what they called a new dimension-movement.

Europeana Learning Scenario Title Four Dimensions in Physics and Arts Author(s) Eirini Siotou Summary This is an interdisciplinary learning scenario combing the courses of Physics and Art History. The main objective of the learning scenario is to combine a variety of elements from the two above-mentioned courses in order to examine the dimensions of width, height, depth and time as presented and taught in Physics lessons, from a different perspective the Arts. Through Europeana's art collections students would have the chance to study how the four dimensions of physics have been attributed over the centuries. Finally, they will also investigate the new concepts learned by using an Augmented Reality (AR) app which will give them the chance to “control” time and space variables and make changes to the (virtual) painting of the painter. The teaching approach that will be applied is Inquiry Based Learning as it is the one applied to Physics lessons of Secondary School. This scenario was part of the Erasmus + European Program: Augmented and Virtual Reality in Education.

Cubism Was One of the First Truly Modern Movements to Emerge in Art
QUICK VIEW: Synopsis Cubism was one of the first truly modern movements to emerge in art. It evolved during a period of heroic and rapid innovation between Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. The movement has been described as having two stages: 'Analytic' Cubism, in which forms seem to be 'analyzed' and fragmented; and 'Synthetic' Cubism, in which newspaper and other foreign materials such as chair caning and wood veneer, are collaged to the surface of the canvas as 'synthetic' signs for depicted objects. The style was significantly developed by Fernand Léger and Juan Gris, but it attracted a host of adherents, both in Paris and abroad, and it would go on to influence the Abstract Expressionists, particularly Willem de Kooning. Key Points • Analytic Cubism staged modern art's most radical break with traditional models of representation. It abandoned perspective, which artists had used to order space since the Renaissance. And it turned away from the realistic modeling of figures and towards a system of representing bodies in space that employed small, tilted planes, set in a shallow space. Over time, Picasso and Braque also moved towards open form - they pierced the bodies of their figures, let the space flow through them, and blended background into foreground. Some historians have argued that its innovations represent a response to the changing experience of space, movement, and time in the modern world. • Synthetic Cubism proved equally important and influential for later artists. Instead of relying on depicted shapes and forms to represent objects, Picasso and Braque began to explore the use of foreign objects as abstract signs.

The Orpheu Generation and the Avant-‐‑Garde: Intersecting Literature and the Visual Arts
The Orpheu Generation and the Avant-Garde: Intersecting Literature and the Visual Arts Patrícia Silva* Keywords Orpheu, Orpheu generation, Avant-garde, Cubism, Futurism, Orphism, Intersectionism, Sensationism. Abstract Considering the literary and artistic production of key figures from the Orpheu generation, this essay examines their transnational links to counterparts in the European avant-garde through acquaintance and epistolary networks. More specifically, it does so by focusing on the intersections between literature and the visual arts in works by writers and artists and the periodicals in which they published between 1915 and 1917, to argue that their aesthetic hybridity reflects the experimentalism in the arts of this period animated by the goal of creating “the total work of art”, which is central to European modernism and actively practised by the Portuguese modernists. Palavras-chave Orpheu, Geração de Orpheu, Avant-garde, Cubismo, Futurismo, Orfismo, Interseccionismo, Sensacionismo. Resumo Considerando a produção literária e artística de figuras centrais da geração de Orpheu, este ensaio examina as relações transnacionais que estas estabeleceram com os seus contrapartes na vanguarda europeia por meio de redes de familiaridade e epistolares. Mais especificamente, fá-lo ao focar as intersecções entre a literatura e as artes visuais nas obras destes escritores e artistas e nos periódicos em que publicavam entre 1915 e 1917, arguindo que o seu hibridismo estético reflete o experimentalismo nas artes deste período animado pelo fim de criar “a obra de arte total”, que preside ao modernismo europeu e foi ativamente praticado pelos modernistas portugueses. * Center for Social Studies, University of Coimbra & Queen Mary, University of London.

Excursions Volume 4, Issue 2 (November 2013) Proceedings: ‘Purity’ 11th-12th July 2013, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK Tara Ward, “Pure Painting and Mottled Colour” Excursions, vol. 4, no. 2 (2013) www.excursions-journal.org.uk/index.php/excursions/article/view/115 Tara Ward University of Michigan Pure Painting and Mottled Colour For those of us immersed in the field of modern art, the word ‘pure’ always seems to have been spoken by Clement Greenberg (1909-1994). The equally preeminent and problematic art critic claimed that the history of modern art was a process of purification and famously wrote: It quickly emerged that the unique and proper area of competence of each art coincided with all that was unique in the nature of its medium. The task of self- criticism became to eliminate from the specific effects of each art any and every effect borrowed from or by the medium of any other art. Thus would each art be rendered ‘pure’ and in its ‘purity’ find the guarantee of its standards of quality as well as of its independence. ‘Purity’ meant self-definition, and the enterprise of self-criticism in the arts became one of self-definition with a vengeance. (Greenberg, 1961, p.86) Greenberg insisted that art must retreat from the world and that each medium needed to purge anything that more properly belonged to another art form. In this explicitly, but tenuously Kantian view, modern painting had progressively rid itself of all recognizable objects and any illusion of three-dimensional space. What replaced the mimetic tradition was an attention to the literal characteristics of the medium; painting increasingly recognized the shape and size of its support as well as its use of pigment.
