Sykes, Frontier Academy, Greeley, CO Length of Unit: Four lessons (approximately seven days; one day = 50 minutes) I.

Sonia Delaunay's Yellow Nude, 1908
© COPYRIGHT by Laura Ryan 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED SUBVERTING ORIENTALISM AND PRIMITIVISM? SONIA DELAUNAY'S YELLOW NUDE, 1908 BY Laura Ryan ABSTRACT In this thesis, I demonstrate that Yellow Nude includes a number of pointed references to historic stereotypes and contemporaneous tropes that embroil the artist’s identity in the primitivist ideologies she apparently appropriates. I first identify the background design within the painting as that of a turn of the century ikat textile, with Central Asian, Jewish, and Russian production histories that mimic the biographic transnationality of Delaunay herself. Delaunay therefore invites viewers to conflate the figure in the painting with the woman who made it, capitalizing on the perceived “exoticism” of her “primitive” cultural upbringing. From this perspective, the featured figure’s mask-like face, disjunctive body, and gender ambiguity further implicate, interrogate, and perhaps undermine international fascination with the “primitive.” I argue that in Yellow Nude Sonia Delaunay both recreated the popular type of the exotic foreign woman and subtly undercut the ideologies behind the genre through specific references likely legible to those who shared her background. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... ii LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ......................................................................................................... iv INTRODUCTION: THE VANGUARD NUDE,

FROM IMPRESSIONISM to POP ART Under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco
UNDER THE HIGH PATRONAGE OF HIS SERENE HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT II OF MONACO FROM IMPRESSIONISM TO POP ART Under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco FROM IMPRESSIONISM TO POP ART Après l’immense succès de l’exposition “Picasso” en 2011, Opera Gallery Monaco présente cet été “de l’Impressionnisme au Pop Art”. Une exposition prestigieuse qui, à travers plus de 50 tableaux et dessins de grands Maîtres, nous permet de suivre la période de l’Histoire de l’Art qui va de la Révolution impressionniste au choc du Pop Art. Les tubes d’étain ont été inventés vers 1840, ils ont permis aux peintres impressionnistes de sortir de leur atelier pour aller peindre des paysages “sur le motif”, c’est-à-dire dans la nature. De la même manière, la peinture acrylique diluable à l’eau est créée en 1963, elle est immédiatement adoptée par les peintres Pop Art. Andy Warhol, est le premier utilisateur de cette peinture industrielle qui accompagne de manière pertinente son discours sur la société de consommation. Entre ces deux écoles illustrées par des tableaux de Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir d’un coté et Andy Warhol de l’autre, nous découvrons des œuvres de Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall mais aussi Joan Miró avec le splendide tableau Untitled, 1960 ou encore Fernando Botero. Enfin, nous n’avons pas résisté au plaisir de mettre en page de couverture du catalogue la gouache et aquarelle Les Grâces naturelles de René Magritte, un hommage au Maître du Surréalisme dans sa période influencée par Renoir, tout un symbole pour cette exposi- tion qui retrace la période de l’Histoire de l’Art aujourd’hui la plus prisée par les collectionneurs avertis et la plus recherchée par les amateurs de “valeurs refuges”.

For Immediate Release October 22, 2008 Contact: Milena Sales 212.636.2680 [email protected] Sung-Hee Park 212.636.2680 [email protected] IMPRESSIONIST AND MODERN ART DAY AND WORKS ON PAPER SALES AT CHRISTIE’S NEW YORK THIS FALL New York – On November 6, Christie's New York will hold the Fall 2008 Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale, followed by the Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper Sale on November 7. Offering approximately 350 lots over the course of two days, both sales will feature works by leading Impressionist and Modern masters such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Gabriele Münter, Paul Klee, René Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Joan Miró, Henry Moore and Henri Matisse. Christie's remains the only international auction house to hold sales dedicated exclusively to Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper. Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale- November 6 The 240-lot Day Sale is led by important private collections. The first, from the Estate of Mr. and Mrs. Klingenstein, includes an oil on canvas by Marc Chagall entitled La femme en rouge (illustrated left on page 1- estimate: $750,000-950,000). As a frequent attendee of the Cirque d’ Hiver in Paris, Chagall often depicted lovers, flowers, animals and performers, forming a symbolical composition that fulfilled Chagall’s desire to create an art of joy, hope, and love. Here, Chagall positioned the musical performers as if floating towards the lovers, linking these symbols of passion and the arts. The cover lot of the sale is Joan Miró’s Femmes devant la lune (estimate: $600,000-800,000), coming directly from the family of Pierre Matisse, the artist’s dealer who launched the artist’s career to America.

Marc Chagall Fabulously Fun Facts
Marc Chagall Fabulously Fun Facts He sleeps. He wakes. At once he paints. He chooses a church and paints a church He chooses a cow and paints a cow. --Written about Chagall by French Poet Blaise Cedrars Marc Zaharovich Chagall (1887-1985) was born in the Russian-Jewish Village of Vitebsk, eldest of Nine Children in a Hasidic Jewish family. Given the Hasidic belief that it is a sacrilege to give God form or produce images, it is surprising that Chagall chose an artistic career. He likely persuaded his mother to support his choice. As a child, Marc played with the family dogs, chickens, a goat and a donkey. He often concocted his own toys, as there was no money to purchase any. With some hesitation, his mother took him to a local artist for lessons, where, for a time, he painted everything in purple! He also used burlap bean sacks for his early paintings, but the work must not have impressed his eight sisters. They used them to cover freshly washed floors and to stuff the holes in the chicken coop! Chagall was happily married to his wife Bella for twenty-nine years until her death until 1944. Bella can frequently be seen “floating about” Chagall‟s canvases. Chagall explained: “ What I mean by „abstract‟ is something which comes to life spontaneously through a gamut of contrasts, plastic as the same time as psychic, pervades both the picture and the eye of the spectator with conceptions of new and unfamiliar elements” Chagall created works in virtually every artistic medium, including painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints.

I had the impression of being in an enchanted city, but in those days everything was wonderful, and everything was possible, and at that moment the people of Vitebsk had become Suprematists.” Sofia Dymshits-Tolstaia, 1921 This is the first major exhibition to explore a littleknown chapter in the history of the Russian avant-garde: Marc Chagall’s encounter with the leading figures of abstraction, El (Lazar) Lissitzky and Kazimir Malevich, at the time of the Russian Revolution.

At no other point in the history of art did artistic schools and artists’ associations emerge at such a breathtaking pace than between 1910 and 1920. Every group was its own programme, every programme its own call to battle – against the past as well as against competing iterations of the present. The Albertina is devoting a major presentation to the diverse range of art from that era: 130 masterpieces by Mikhail Larionov, Natalia Goncharova, Kazimir Malevich, Wassily Kandinsky, and Marc Chagall illustrate fundamentally different styles and their dynamic development from primitivism to cubo-futurism and on to suprematism, as well the chronological parallels between figurative expressionism and pure abstraction.

Marc Chagall “Chagall” He was born Moishe Segal in a Jewish family near Vitebsk, Russia, in 1887. Vitebsk was a picturesque city of synagogues and churches built mostly of wood. Very little survived after World War II. He belonged to a very religious family, and he was the oldest of nine children. ! His father was employed by a herring merchant for a small income. His mother sold groceries from their home. The Russian government conﬁned Jews causing the creation of Jewish market villages called shtetls throughout Eastern Europe. Jewish children could not attend regular schools. Chagall’s primary education was at local Jewish religious schools where he studied Hebrew and the Bible. His mother enrolled him in a Russian high school when he was 13 by giving the headmaster 50 rubles. The turning point in his artistic career was when he noticed a fellow student drawing. It was like a vision. ! His friend told him: “Go and ﬁnd a book in the library … choose any picture you like and just copy it.” Chagall started copying images and decided he wanted to be an artist. ! 1906: Chagall enrolled at the studio of Yehuda Pen, a realist artist who offered Chagall free classes, but Chagall did not enjoy portrait painting. !

Franz Marc Mini
http://www.franzmarc.org/ Franz Marc was a German print maker and artist; he not only had an influence on art during his time, but was considered to be one of the key figures of the Expressionist movement in Germany following his time as well. The Blue Rider, was a magazine publication series, which he was a co-founder of; it focused on the movement, and it was well known to be connected to a small group of artists who were in charge of posting images, as well as breaking stories, during the time that the magazine was in existence in Germany. Distinct style During his career, Franz Marc created about 60 pieces in lithography and woodcut. Many of his pieces depicted animals, in their natural setting and habitat. The use of bold, bright colors were often seen in his works as well. He took a cubist approach, in the display and creation of the animals that he depicted in his works; simplicity was often seen as a means to his creative process as well, as most pieces simply focused on the animal, and the raw emotion, as opposed to drawing in from external factors, to create the printed art works during his career. Color scapes He also gave meaning to the colors that were used in his pieces; blue was used to depict masculinity and a spiritual style; while yellow and lighter colors depicted femininity and joy. Red tones were often used to depict violence or some serious under toning in his work. His works were oppressed by the Nazis in the early 1930s, and nearly 130 pieces which Franz Marc had created, were removed from exhibits, and art shows that he had become a part of, in different cities in Germany.
