Romanticism, Realism & Photography

THEME: Features of Romanticism“Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains!” - Rousseau

P.I.N.E.

Past – Longing for the medieval past, pre-industrial Europe (Gothic architecture will be revived)

Irrational/ Inner mind / Insanity – Romantic artists depict the human psyche and topics that transcend the use of reason. One Romantic artist, Gericault, chose to do portraits of people in insane asylums

Nature – longing for the purity of nature, which defies human rationality

Emotion/ Exotic – Romantics favored emotion and passion over reason. Exotic themes and locales were also popular because they did not adhere to European emphasis on rationality

Imagination, not reason, FEELING, not thinking = FREEDOM
