RICKMANSWORTH U3A ART APPRECIATION GROUP The Glasgow Boys September 2018 The Glasgow Boys - influences Jules Bastien-Lepage, (1848 – 1884) French painter of rustic outdoor genre scenes widely imitated in France and England. Bastien-Lepage studied under Alexandre Cabanel, first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1870, and won a medal at the Salon of 1874 for Spring Song. Style owes a little to Édouard Manet and in the tradition of Jean-François Millet and Gustave Courbet. A sentimental element characterizes Bastien-Lepage’s work. He was also a portraitist of note. October, 1878,by Jules Bastien-Lepage (1848-1884), Oil on Canvas, 1,807 mm x 1,960 mm, National Gallery of Victoria, Australia The Glasgow Boys - influences James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834 – 1903) American artist, based primarily in the United Kingdom. Averse to sentimentality and moral allusion in painting and a leading proponent of "art for art's sake". While his art is characterized by a subtle delicacy, his public persona was combative. He found a parallel between painting and music and entitled many of his paintings "arrangements", "harmonies", and "nocturnes", emphasizing the primacy of tonal harmony. Whistler influenced the art world and the broader culture of his time with his artistic theories and his friendships with leading artists and writers.
