Renaissance to Modern Art Art History 112 Renaissance to Modern Art Professor Daniel Zolli MW 12:20 – 1:10 PM (Forum) Office Hours: 202 Borland, We 2-4pm and by appointment Email: [email protected] v Course Overview: Art History 112U provides a critical introduction to the history of Western art from the Renaissance to Modern Periods. It is an introduction to the process of looking at art and as a preliminary exploration of the methods of art historical interpretation. Although stylistic and formal developments will be explored, our principal focus will be devoted to the function of the arts in the social, political, and religious life of people. Each week, a series of artworks (e.g., painting, sculpture, printmaking, and the decorative arts) will be introduced and discussed from a variety of historical and interpretive perspectives. Although this is not an architecture course we will occasionally discuss buildings because they are often integral to the desired effects and audience of artworks. Art History 112 presumes no prior knowledge of the subject, and will introduce basic and traditional concepts of chronology, classification, and analysis, along with more contemporary approaches to the material. Requirements Readings & Online Material: There is no assigned textbook for this course, for reasons of cost and utility. Rather, the principal readings and videos each week are drawn from two online resources: “Smarthistory” (smarthistory.org) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Timeline of Art History (metmuseum.org/toah). Hyperlinks for all reading and viewing assignments are embedded directly into this syllabus. It is my belief that these materials, taken together, offer a far more accessible, and ultimately enriching, introduction to art in the Western tradition. And in tandem with lectures and section, they contain everything you need to master the course and its content. Reading and viewing assignments can be completed in advance of the classes to which they are related, or after, depending on your learning preferences. Do note, as well, that lectures will address artworks not covered in the assignments, yet for which you are responsible in the exams. For this reason, it is imperative that you attend the lectures regularly. In instances where you want ideas about particular artworks, artists, or concepts reinforced, or simply for a more comprehensive understanding of the subject, you may consult Janson’s History of Art (8th ed., Volume II), which holds closely to the chronology of our course. PDFs of that book, and a list of the page numbers corresponding to each week in our course, may be found on Canvas (under “Janson”), though—again—this is not required reading. Note also that there is a PDF of common art-historical terms on Canvas. Lecture Slide Sheets: Will be uploaded to Canvas at the beginning of each week (on Monday morning). You may print them out or follow them on your screen. Three Exams: To occur in section in Weeks 6 and 12, and during Final Exam Week. The exams are non-cumulative, and have a set format: I. Slide IDs: Identify the artist, title, date, and medium/media of five artworks drawn from the “Lecture Slide Sheets” (the works for which you are responsible appear in bold). 5 minutes / 20 points II. Short Essay: Presented with two works, you must (i) ID them (as above); and (ii) write a short essay comparing some essential quality that they share (or do not share). 15 minutes / 30 points III. Longer Essay: Two weeks before each exam, you will receive a list of four questions that address broad themes covered in the course, one of which will appear on the exam. While you may take as much time to prepare as you would like, you may not use notes during the exam. 30 minutes / 50 points Short Paper: On an artwork of your choosing in the Palmer Museum of Art, which you will study closely in person for at least four hours. The essay will be developed and written in three stages: (i) by Week 3, you will submit a bullet- pointed list of formal observations based on one hour with your artwork; (ii) by Week 8, a 2-3 page formal analysis, having studied it for two more hours; (iii) and by Week 14, a polished piece of writing (5 pages) in which you discuss your artwork in an analytically convincing and rhetorically persuasive manner. Grading 60% Three Exams (20% each) 20% Short Paper (Phase One = 5%; Phase 2 = 5%; Phase 3 = 10%) 20% Attendance and Participation Letter Grade Range 100–92.5 = A 89.5–92.5 = A- 86.5–89.5 = B+ 82.5–86.5 = B 79.5–82.5 = B- 76.5–79.5 = C+ 70–76.5 = C 60–70 = D 0–60 = F - 2 - Course Guidelines and Policies Attendance and Participation: Regular attendance will be taken. If you miss class, it is your responsibility to obtain notes of the day’s material. 3 unexcused absences = reduction of final grade; more than 5 = failure. Late assignments: will be deducted a half-grade per day (weekends do count). Email Etiquette: While convenient, email does not substitute for class attendance or office hours. The TAs and I will occasionally communicate with the class via Canvas, but we request that you not abuse email to ask us routine information about the class. If you have a question about a reading or assignment please consult the syllabus first. Academic Integrity Statement: Academic integrity is a fundamental principle underlying all scholarly work, and a necessity for the creation of an honest and positive learning environment. Accordingly, adherence to the basic precepts of academic integrity is expected in all student work. The dishonest representation of someone else’s work as your own (i.e. cheating, plagiarism) will not be tolerated, nor will acts of deception or falsification. Acknowledgment in your written work of information, points of view, and quotes taken from other sources should always be made through appropriate references (i.e. footnotes, bibliography). Violations of academic integrity will be dealt with in accordance with the policies of the University. Students with Disabilities: Penn State welcomes students with disabilities into the University’s educational programs. If you have a disability-related need for reasonable academic adjustments in this course, contact the Office for Disability Services (ODS), located in room 116 Boucke Building at 814-863-1807. For further information regarding ODS, please visit their web site at www.equity.psu.edu/ods/ Instructors should be notified as early in the semester as possible regarding the need for reasonable academic adjustments.

[1] In reaction to the traditional establishment, constituted especially by the École des Beaux-Arts, the Paris Salon, and the styles and techniques they promulgated, Toulouse-Lautrec cultivated his own approach to painting, while also pioneering new methods in lithography and the art of the poster. He explored popular, even vulgar subject matter, while collaborating with vanguard artists, writers, and stars of Bohemian Paris. Despite his artistic innovations, he remains an enigmatic and somewhat liminal figure in the history of French modern art.

  • Post-Impressionism Post-Impressionism Is a Whole A
    Post-Impressionism Post-Impressionism is a whole a term coined by the British artist and art critic Roger Fry in 1914, to describe the development of European art since Monet. It’s roughly the period between 1886 and 1892 to describe the artistic movements based on or derived from Impressionism. The term is now taken to mean those artists who followed the Impressionists and to some extent rejected their ideas. Generally, they considered Impressionism too casual or too naturalistic, and sought a means of exploring emotion in paint. POST-IMPRESSIONISM Post-Impressionism Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Disabled poster artist known as one of the first Graphic Designers Paul Cezanne Large block-like brushstrokes; Still lifes, Landscapes Vincent Van Gogh Distrurbed painter of loose brushstrokes and bright, vivid colors George Seurat Founder of Pointillism; Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte Paul Gauguin Rejected Urban Life and choose secondary-colored Tahitian women Auguste Rodin Bronze sculptor; Very loose and not detailed. “The Thinker”, and “Burghers of Calais” Edvard Munch Long brushstrokes to create haunting images POST-IMPRESSIONISM Post-Impressionism Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec ” At the Moulin Rouge” Art Institute of Chicago. 1895 French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864- 1901) was interested in capturing the sensibility of modern life and deeply admired Degas. Because of this interest and admiration, his work intersects with that of the Impressionists. However, his work has an added satirical edge to it and often borders on caricature. Toulouse-Latutrec’s art was, to a degree, the expression of his life. Self-exiled by his odd stature and crippled legs from the high society his ancient aristocratic name entitled him to enter, he became denizen of the night world of Paris, consorting with a tawdry population of entertainers, prostitutes, and other social outcasts.

  • Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa or simply Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French: [ɑ̃ʁi də tuluz lo Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec ˈtʁɛk]; 24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman and illustrator whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 1800s yielded a collection of exciting, elegant and provocative images of the modern and sometimes decadent life of those times. Toulouse-Lautrec – along with Cézanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin – is among the most well-known painters of the Post-Impressionist period. In a 2005 auction at Christie's auction house, a new record was set when La blanchisseuse, an early painting of a young laundress, sold for US$22.4 million.[1] Contents 1 Early life 2 Disability and health problems 3 Paris 4 London Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 5 Alcoholism Birth Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse- 6 Death name Lautrec-Monfa 7 Art 8 Selected works Born 24 November 1864 8.1 Paintings Albi, Tarn, France 8.2 Posters Died 9 September 1901 (aged 36) 8.3 Photos Château Malromé, France 8.4 Signature Nationality French 9 In popular culture Field Painter, printmaker, draftsman, 10 References illustrator 11 Further reading 12 External links Movement Post-Impressionism, Art Nouveau Early life Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa was born at the chateau du Bosc in Albi, Tarn in the Midi- Pyrénées région of France, the firstborn child of Comte Alphonse de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa and Adèle Tapié de Celeyran.

  • “Turning Points: Jane Avril in Paris” Popular Culture Association Meeting 2015 by Victoria Olsen in 1884, An
    “Turning Points: Jane Avril in Paris” Popular Culture Association meeting 2015 by Victoria Olsen In 1884, an adolescent girl institutionalized at the Salpetriere Psychiatric Hospital in Paris attended a “mad ball” to celebrate Mardi Gras. She suffered from St. Vitus Dance, a neurological disease now called Sydenham’s chorea that causes compulsive twitching. That night at the ball she began to dance— with strange disjointed movements and great passion. An audience formed and applauded. Much later the woman claimed that was the turning point in her life: when she realized that what had been called mental illness she could claim for herself as art. “Alas,” she wrote, “I was cured.” The hospital had been a safe haven from an abusive mother, but when she left she was able to reinvent herself, changing her name to Jane Avril. By 1889 she was a star dancer at the Moulin Rouge and soon afterwards a friend and model for the painter Henri de Toulouse Lautrec. Her dancing— a variant of the new can can— drew crowds, and her image—tall, thin, red-haired, pointy-nosed— sold posters. [SEE IMAGE] This was not the only “turning point” that Jane identified in her memoirs. There are other places too where she uses phrases like “then my new life began….” This paper focuses on the role of turning points in Jane Avril’s life and in life-writing in general. As biographers, we use turning points as a way to organize a narrative, the “story” part of the life story, but these turning points inevitably close doors as well as open them.

Emma Wise ART 162 – A with Honors Japanese Influence on Western Impressionists: The reciprocal exchange of artistic techniques During the nineteenth century, Paris was at the heart of modern art movements. It was during this time the Impressionist painters began to display their work in salons. Occurring at the same time was the influx of Japanese goods into Europe, including the artistic products. In Paris there was a large exhibition of Japanese ukiyo-e prints at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts during the spring of 1890 (Ives). The Japanese woodblock prints had an impact on western art and is visible in the work of the Impressionists. This can be seen through the painting and printmaking produced during the nineteenth century. The Impressionist movement paralleled Japan during the Edo period. During the two time periods, there was an increase of leisure time which led to the creation of art. In Japan, the creation of this art created a growing industry of accessible art. The increased leisure time in Paris fueled the art community. During the Edo period in Japan, there was an increase in economic growth that strengthened the middle class.

  • Moulin Rouge (A) in 1889, Paris Hosted the Universal Exhibition
    Inside Out WORKSHEET A Moulin Rouge (A) In 1889, Paris hosted the Universal Exhibition. The centrepiece of the exhibition was a large tower named after its creator, Gustave Eiffel. Another structure made for the exhibition was a giant model of an elephant, which people could go inside. People from all over the world came to Paris as the city was beginning its Belle Époque (which means ‘beautiful era’). Everybody was looking forward to the 20th century and the benefits of modernisation. There was an atmosphere of fun and optimism about the place. After the exhibition ended, many of the structures were taken down. The Eiffel Tower stayed but the elephant was moved to a new place. On October 6th, 1889, a new dance hall opened called The Moulin Rouge, and the elephant’s new home was in the garden at the back of the dance hall. Moulin Rouge (B) The Moulin Rouge (which means ‘red windmill’) opened on October 6th, 1889, in Montmartre, Paris. It very quickly became the most fashionable venue in town. People of all ages and classes came to watch the dancers kicking their legs in the air in the new (and outrageous) dance called the can-can. In the garden at the back of the Moulin Rouge, men (women couldn’t go in) paid one franc to enter the giant model elephant and watch a belly dancer, while others enjoyed sitting on the grass drinking absinth. Absinth was a strong green-coloured alcoholic drink popular at the time. A regular visitor to the Moulin Rouge in the 1890s was an artist named Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec.

In 1910, Roger Fry needed a collective noun for the artists he was presenting at the Grafton Gallery in London – and invented the term ‘Post-Impressionist’ which has stuck.
