Withdrawn in manner, conventional in dress, and virtually unknown for the first half of his career, the French painter and graphic artist drew upon his own startlingly complex and fantastic inner world to create haunting works that reveal an existence beyond that of everyday vision.

(laughter.)As you all know, the Armory Show was opened on February 17th, 1913, fifty years ago, to the day (Fig. 2A, 2B). As a result of this event, it is rewarding to realize that, in these last fifty years, the United States has collected, in its private collections and its museums, probably the greatest examples of modern art in the world today. It would be interesting, like in all revivals, to compare the reactions of the two different audiences, fifty years apart.

  • Edgar Degas French, 1834–1917 Woman Arranging Her Hair Ca
    Edgar Degas French, 1834–1917 Woman Arranging her Hair ca. 1892, cast 1924 Bronze McNay Art Museum, Mary and Sylvan Lang Collection, 1975.61 In this bronze sculpture, Edgar Degas presents a nude woman, her body leaned forward and face obscured as she styles her hair. The composition of the figure is similar to those found in his paintings of women bathing. The artist displays a greater interest in the curves of the body and actions of the model than in capturing her personality or identity. More so than his posed representations of dancers, the nude served throughout Degas’ life as a subject for exploring new ideas and styles. French Moderns McNay labels_separate format.indd 1 2/27/2017 11:18:51 AM Fernand Léger French, 1881–1955 The Orange Vase 1946 Oil on canvas McNay Art Museum, Gift of Mary and Sylvan Lang, 1972.43 Using bold colors and strong black outlines, Fernand Léger includes in this still life an orange vase and an abstracted bowl of fruit. A leaf floats between the two, but all other elements, including the background, are abstracted beyond recognition. Léger created the painting later in his life when his interests shifted toward more figurative and simplified forms. He abandoned Cubism as well as Tubism, his iconic style that explored cylindrical forms and mechanization, though strong shapes and a similar color palette remained.

    1874 – 2019 “Question: Why can’t art be beautiful instead of fascinating? Answer: Because the concept of beautiful is arguably more subjective for each viewer.” https://owlcation.com/humanities/20th-Century-Art-Movements-with-Timeline • Impressionism • Dada • Post-Impressionism • Surrealism • Symbolism • Abstract Expressionism • Fauvism • Pop Art • Expressionism • Superrealism • Cubism • Post-Modernism • Futurism • Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter • Post-Impressionism is an art movement that developed in the 1890s. It is characterized by a subjective approach to painting, as artists opted to evoke emotion rather than realism in their work • Symbolism, a loosely organized literary and artistic movement that originated with a group of French poets in the late 19th century, spread to painting and the theatre, and influenced the European and American literatures of the 20th century to varying degrees. • Fauvism is the style of les Fauves (French for "the wild beasts"), a group of early twentieth- century modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. • Expressionism is a modernist movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. ... Expressionist artists have sought to express the meaning of emotional experience rather than physical reality. • Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture.

    SIXTH CLASS: STILL LIFE I. INTRODUCTION In today’s class we are going to examine two examples of still life painting. Does anyone remember what type objects are often found in still life paintings? Fruit, vegetables, meat, flowers, books, clocks, chinaware, silverware, glassware, bottles, pipes, fabrics, etc. (If time permits, show students different examples of still life painting from an art history text or an art magazine.) What do these objects have in common? They are all small enough to fit on a table, and they are all motionless. Can anyone make up a definition of a still life painting? An arrangement of non-moving objects. These are typically shown close up. Who knows what the term "composition" means in art? The arrangement of shapes, lines and colors in a painting. Still life painting, because it focuses on a few objects at close range, is an easy type of art in which to study how an artist puts a picture together, i.e., how he or she arranges its composition. Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists were attracted to still life painting, each for his own reasons and each with a somewhat different result. Before revealing today's artworks, let's get our eyes ready for looking. II. EYE EXERCISES VI. STILL LIFE PAINTING A. Vase of Roses Artist - Vincent van Gogh – Dutch (l853-l890) Year Painted - l890 Medium - oil on canvas Props - poster of painting; white paper and colored pencils, crayons or Craypas for each child; green vase; a pink or white rose (either fabric or real) for each student in the class; a green cloth or large piece of construction paper for the background.

    ODILON REDON (French: 1840-1916) Profile Against a Blue Ground Pastel on paper: 17 3/8 x 12 1/8 inches 44.2 x 30.8 cm. Signed lower right: ODILON REDON Executed 1899 The present work, which belonged to the artist’s son Arï Redon, is an important new addition to the corpus of pastels by Redon depicting single figures in profile. Acquired years before Arï’s death by the art historian and dealer Mira Jacob, it thus did not form part of the very large donation of Odilon Redon paintings, pastels, prints and drawings bequeathed by Arï and his wife to the French State. (On the latter subject, see R. Bacou, Musée du Louvre: La donation Arï et Suzanne Redon , Paris, 1984.) The model for this image of wide-eyed innocence is in all likelihood Arï himself, whose birth in 1889 (especially after the heart-rending loss, some two and a half years earlier, of Redon’s other son Jean) inspired in the artist a newfound optimism and sense of wonder. Such physiognomic features as the small, upturned nose and retracted chin—emphasized here by the profile format—are certainly apparent in other pastels and drawings from roughly the same time that are known to depict Arï. Comparable likenesses in pastel are Portrait d’Arï en rouge (Wildenstein 34; private collection), which is signed and dated 1894; Arï au col marin of c. 1895 (Wildenstein 37; Musée d’Orsay, Paris); and the slightly later Arï (Wildenstein 39; private collection). On our pastel’s original backing is an inscription in red chalk, OR 1899 , which may have been written by Arï Redon.

Guillaumin has recently been “rediscovered” and acknowledged for his importance within the Impressionist movement and as a major influence on Post-Impressionists including van Gogh, Paul Signac, and Henri Matisse. Here, Guillaumin creates an intimate portrait of his wife in pastel. The use of pastel was popular in the 17th century, but was re- introduced by the Impressionists in the 19th century, most notably by Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, and Henri Toulouse Lautrec. Armand Guillaumin La Femme de l’artiste French, 1841-1927 23’’ x 20’’ fr. Signed L.R., Pastel 3 44 Pointillism The Post-Impressionist period was a hothouse of varied artistic philosophies, including Pointillism, Symbolism, and Fauvism. Branching from Impressionism, Seurat and Signac developed this technique in 1886. Pointillism, also known as divisionism, is a mode of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an image. Unlike the academic artists who blended colors on the palette before applying paint to canvas, this new modern movement relied on the ability of the eye and mind of the viewer to blend color spots into clearer and more defined forms.

  • Press Release
    Press release The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents on May 12, 2017 Paris, Fin de Siècle: Signac, Redon, Toulouse-Lautrec and Their Contemporaries Paris, Fin de Siècle: Signac, Redon, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Their Contemporaries • Dates: May 12–September 17, 2017 • Curator: Vivien Greene, Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation - This is an exceptional opportunity to view rarely seen, late 19th-century French avant- garde works from private European collections. The exhibition focuses on the radical innovations of the Neo-Impressionists, Symbolists, and the Nabis, and the revival of printmaking in the 1890s. It includes artists such as Paul Signac, Odilon Redon, Pierre Bonnard, and Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec, who carefully crafted compositions that are anti-naturalistic in form and execution. - The artworks featured in this exhibition, mirroring a time of political and social upheaval, embrace utopian conceptions of shimmering seascapes and landscapes; introspective, fantastical visions; and stark, incisive portrayals of contemporary life. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is pleased to present Paris, Fin de Siècle: Signac, Redon, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Their Contemporaries, an exhibition that analyzes the Parisian art scene, underscoring the most important French avant-gardes of the late 19th century, particularly the Neo- Impressionists, Symbolists, and Nabis. The leading exponents of these movements are represented in the show by approximately 125 paintings, pastels, drawings, and prints. Fin-de-siècle Paris was a time and place of political upheaval and cultural transformation, during which sustained economic crisis and social problems spurred the rise of radical left-wing groups and an attendant backlash of conservatism that plagued France throughout the late 1890s. In 1894, President Sadi Carnot fell victim to an anarchist assassination, while the nationally divisive Dreyfus Affair began with the unlawful conviction for treason of Alfred Dreyfus, an officer of Alsatian and Jewish descent.
