They aimed to express spiritual realities by going behind appearances - the object. 5 Blaue Reiter Kandinsky Stylistic Development Kandinsky had worked as a lawyer in Russia. While a student, he had travelled into the heart of Russia to research peasant legal systems and had been struck by the power of the folk art they used to decorate their homes. Kandinsky went to Munich in 896 to study painting in the fashionable Jugendstil (style of Art Nouveau). He focused on the Symbolist work of late 9th century Russian artists, German art from the Middle Ages and even older Byzantine art. He used simplified forms and flat, unnatural colours, often applied in large stippled dots. He travelled throughout Europe between 903 and 908, exhibiting in Paris and winning a Grand Prix in 906. While living in Paris during 906 - 07, Kandinsky attended many of the early exhibitions by the Fauves. Their influence on him was tremendous. In their paintings he saw the liberation of colour from representation, and he spent the rest of the decade incorporating the implications of this freedom in his art. These early works by Kandinsky were particularly notable for their bright colours and imaginative use of fairytale subjects such as knights on horseback. From September 907 to August 908, Kandinsky lived in Kandinsky: Blue Horseman 905 oil on canvas, 5 x 54cm, EG Buhrle Collection, Zurich Berlin where he met Rudolph Steiner. In 908 Gabriele Münter bought a house in the rural area of Murnau. It was here that Kandinsky began to develop his own style, encouraged by Alexi von Jawlensky, recently returned from a year in the studio of Matisse. Kandinsky’s paintings from 908 and 909 are dominated by strong colour, abbreviated forms and a sense that the subject is only a pretext for his experimentation with colour. From 909 Kandinsky was painting heavily simplified pictures which still contain ciphers or abbreviated symbols of natural objects. His colours are expressive and non-representational. He began to title works as either: • Impressions – still some recognisable subject matter • Improvisations – spontaneous emotional works often using the automatic drawing technique. He produced 35 numbered Improvisations between 909 and 94 as well as some unnumbered ones.

  • Monet and American Impressionism
    Harn Museum of Art Educator Resource Monet & Impressionism About the Artist Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840. He enjoyed drawing lessons in school and began making and selling caricatures at age seventeen. In 1858, he met landscape artist Eugène Boudin (1824-1898) who introduced him to plein-air (outdoor) painting. During the 1860s, only a few of Monet’s paintings were accepted for exhibition in the prestigious annual exhibitions known as the Salons. This rejection led him to join with other Claude Monet, 1899 artists to form an independent group, later known as the Impressionists. Photo by Nadar During the 1860s and 1870s, Monet developed his technique of using broken, rhythmic brushstrokes of pure color to represent atmosphere, light and visual effects while depicting his immediate surroundings in Paris and nearby villages. During the next decade, his fortune began to improve as a result of a growing base of support from art dealers and collectors, both in Europe and the United States. By the mid-1880s, his paintings began to receive critical “Everyone discusses my acclaim. art and pretends to understand, as if it were By 1890, Monet was financially secure enough to purchase a house in Giverny, a rural town in Normandy. During these later years, Monet began painting the same subject over and over necessary to understand, again at different times of the day or year.

Seitz Museumof MotfwnArt ARCHIVE Claude Monet was the purest and most characteristic master of Impressionism. The fundamental principle of his art was a new, wholly perceptual observation of the most fleeting aspects of nature — of moving clouds and water, sun and shadow, rain and snow, mist and fog, dawn and sunset. Over a period of almost seventy years, from the late 1850s to his death in 1926, Monet must have pro duced close to 3,000 paintings, the vast majority of which were landscapes, seascapes, and river scenes. As his involvement with nature became more com plete, he turned from general representations of season and light to paint more specific, momentary, and transitory effects of weather and atmosphere. Late in the seventies he began to repeat his subjects at different seasons of the year or moments of the day, and in the nineties this became a regular procedure that resulted in his well-known "series " — Haystacks, Poplars, Cathedrals, Views of the Thames, Water ERRATA Lilies, etc.

This show was notable for acquainting the New York School with the medium as its artists would go on to embrace collage, creating objects that ranged from small compositions of handmade paper to mural-sized works of torn and reassembled canvas. Despite the significance of this development, art historians consistently overlook collage during the era of Abstract Expressionism. This project examines four artists who based significant portions of their oeuvre on papier collé during this period (i.e. the late 1940s and early 1950s): Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Anne Ryan, and Esteban Vicente. Working primarily with fine art materials in an abstract manner, these artists challenged many of the characteristics that supposedly typified collage: its appropriative tactics, disjointed aesthetics, and abandonment of ―high‖ culture.

  • Italian Painting in Between the Wars at MAC USP
    MODERNIDADE LATINA Os Italianos e os Centros do Modernismo Latino-americano Classicism, Realism, Avant-Garde: Italian Painting In Between The Wars At MAC USP Ana Gonçalves Magalhães This paper is an extended version of that1 presented during the seminar in April 2013 and aims to reevaluate certain points considered fundamental to the research conducted up to the moment on the highly significant collection of Italian painting from the 1920s/40s at MAC USP. First of all, we shall search to contextualize the relations between Italy and Brazil during the modernist period. Secondly, we will reassess the place Italian modern art occupied on the interna- tional scene between the wars and immediately after the World War II —when the collection in question was formed. Lastly, we will reconsider the works assem- bled by São Paulo’s first museum of modern art (which now belong to MAC USP). With this research we have taken up anew a front begun by the museum’s first director, Walter Zanini, who went on to publish the first systematic study on Brazilian art during the 1930s and 40s, in which he sought to draw out this relationship with the Italian artistic milieu. His book, published in 1993, came out at a time when Brazilian art historiography was in the middle of some important studies on modernism in Brazil and its relationship with the Italian artistic milieu, works such as Annateresa Fabris’ 1994 Futurismo Paulista, on how Futurism was received in Brazil, and Tadeu Chiarelli’s first articles on the relationship between the Italian Novecento and the São Paulo painters.

  • Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin Left the City, Seeking to Renew Themselves As Artists in Simpler, Rural Environments
    Vincent van Gogh / Paul Gauguin A Rocky Friendship 1 Vincent van Gogh (1853 – 1890) and Paul Gauguin (1848 – 1903) both experimented with the expressive possibilities of color and line to create distinct personal styles of painting. Working in France at the end of the nineteenth century, the two friends inspired each other during a nine-week period in the autumn of 1888. In February of that year, Van Gogh moved to the peace- ful town of Arles in the south of France. He dreamed of creating a “studio of the south” where a group of art- ists could work and live as a community. He invited his friend and fellow painter Gauguin to join him. Van Gogh transformed his yellow house into an artist’s studio in anticipation. Gauguin finally moved to Arles in October of 1888. Although they learned from each other’s techniques and produced many works side by side, Van Gogh’s stubborn nature and Gauguin’s pride and arrogance made their life together difficult. After nine weeks, a passionate argument caused Van Gogh to have a mental breakdown, and Gauguin returned to Paris. Despite the unhappy ending to the “studio of the south,” the two painters remained friends, and they wrote letters to each other until Van Gogh died two years later. Even though they had different personalities, the two “They say — and I am very willing to believe it — that it artists shared some things in common: is difficult to know yourself — but it isn’t easy to paint Both were essentially self-taught artists.
