ImpressionismPost-Impressionism
FauvismExpressionism
CubismSurrealism
Captured everyday subjects and emphasized the momentary effects of sunlight
Concentrated on reflected light rather than form of objects
Artists broke up solid forms and blurred edges by applying paint to canvas in small dabs of pure color-the dabs blend together in the eye of the viewer
Wanted to produce something more meaningful than the impressionists
Some wanted to express feelings, intuitions and ideas-others to show more form and structure
Most outstanding: Paul Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin
Led to important developments in art of the 20th century
Young French painters used bold bright colors in unexpected or unusual ways
Short-lived movement-circa 1903-1908 Also used bold distortions, bright colors
and loose brushstrokes Les Fauves means “wild beasts” Looking to express feelings Henri Matisse & Andre Derain examples
COMMUNICATE STRONG EMOTIONAL FEELINGS AND WHICH STRESSED PERSONAL FEELINGS RATHER THAN COMPOSTION
Experienced terrible economic and social conditions before and after WWI-emotions ranged from fear to anger to poverty and death
3 things influenced the Cubists 1st –All shapes in nature are based on
geometric solids 2nd – All matter is made up of atoms
that are constantly in motion 3rd – Art from another culture: African
Art
Tried to paint 3D objects so that you could see all angles and points of view at once
Futurists (subgroup)- placed lines and shapes in a composition to suggest movement
Dadaists (subgroup)- introduced fantasy into their artwork –aimed at the culture & society they felt had failed them-featured strange objects such as fur lined teacups
Style in which dreams, fantasy, and the subconscious served as inspiration
Very realistic, almost photographic images but would combine objects that didn’t belong together
Artists who painted the farmlands and cities of America realistically
Focused on the largeness, beauty, productivity and Abundance of America
SCULPTURE: Alexander Calder• Made sculptures using wire and sheet metal
in a balanced arrangement that always remained in motion: called the works MOBILES.
ARCHITECTURE• Frank Lloyd Wright-believed that FORM
should follow FUNCTION• Designed buildings that were in harmony
with the environment• MEXICAN MURALISTS• Expressed feelings about the plight of their
people• Covered ceilings and walls with murals of
Mexican history, sufferings of the peasants, and the bad behavior of the ruling class
• Combined solid forms of ancient Mexican art with colors of European expressionism
Abstract Expressionism• 1st style following WWII-abstract because it
emphasized principals &elements of art as its subject matter-expressive because it stressed feelings and emotions rather than planned design
• COLOR-FIELD PAINTING Only flat colors-without precision or emotion
Mark Rothko
Pop Art early 1960s – artist began using mass media and advertising for inspiration
Pop artists, like Andy Warhol, created artworks using images of things like Coke bottles, soup cans, giant hamburgers and comic strips in many forms of art
OP Art –artworks created to fool the eye OP= optical art-uses scientific
knowledge about vision and how we see to create illusions of movement
Has hard edges, smooth surfaces and every element is carefully planned
NEW REALISM aka photo-realism, hyper-realism, & super-realism
Subject matter is looks very real
Reduced their works to a minimum of elements • Such as one color or minimum of geometric
forms• Some created gigantic earthworks
• Some of today’s artist are referred to Postmodern
• -art styles are changing very rapidly
