Bell Ringer • M.Socrative.com – Room 38178 • Questions: • 1. What do we call small color patches? • 2. What do we call a group of paintings that work together or have a common theme?
Post-Impressionism • Impressionism evolved into a collection of different styles called “post-impressionism” • In subject matter, post impressionist paintings were similar to impressionist paintings – landscapes, familiar portraits, groups, and café and nightclub sceenes • The post-impressionists gave their subject matter a complex and profoundly personal significance
Post Impressionism • The post-impressionists were deeply concerned about capturing sensory experience • They were more interested in their paintings as flat surfaces – carefully composed of shapes, lines, and colors (very different form impressionists) • They rarely attempted to sell their works
Post-Impressionism • Post-impressionism called for a return to form and structure • Characteristics they believed were lacking in their impressionist counterparts • They structured their paintings around traditional elements • They brought formal patterns to the canvas and sought to return painting to traditional goals • They used clean color areas and applied color in a systematic/scientific manner
Georges Seurat • 1859-1891 • Often described as a “neo-impressionist” • He called his technique “divisionism” • His patient and systematic application of specks of paint is called pointillism • Paint is applied with the point of the brush, one small dot at a time
Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon… • Show attention to perspective, and yet feels flat and avoids 3-dimensionality
Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon… • Color areas are fairly uniform and outline is continuous
Vincent Van Gogh • 1853-1890 • His intense emotionalism in pursuing form was unique • He shared his personal feelings in his paintings • His turbulent life included numerous short-lived careers, impossible love affairs, and serious mental illness – he shares very personal and subjective artistic viewpoints • Monday we’ll watch a short movie on him (1 class)
Vincent Van Gogh • Had an interest in complimentary colors (colors across from each other on the color wheel) • Did not apply colors in small dots,instead, placed large color areas side by side • The brushwork in the foreground isactive while the background strokes are smooth
Van Gogh • Tomorrow we’ll watch a short documentary about Van Gogh where you will explore his story, artworks, and methods.
Cubism • The years between 1901 and 1912 witnessed an emerging approach to pictorial space called cubism • Cubist space violated all usual concepts of two- and three-dimensional perspective • Until this time, the space within a composition had been thought of as an entity separate from the main subject of the work – if the subject were removed, the space would remain unaffected. • Picasso changed that
Pablo Picasso • 1881-1973 • In his view, the artist should paint “not objects, but the space they engender.” • The area around an object became an extension of the object itself – if the object were removed, the space around it would collapse • Cubist space is typically quite shallow and reaches forward toward the viewer
Pablo Picasso • Developed as a result of experimentation • At this time, Einstein was exploring ideas involved with the time-space continuum • Not sure if Picasso was inspired by the theory of relativity, but it did at least make his work more acceptable
Pablo Picasso • 1901-1905 – Picasso’s Blue Period, oppressed subjects appeared in his paintings, dominated by blue tones • The Guitar Player
Pablo Picasso • 1904-1906 – Picasso’s Rose Period, he became more concerned with make believe, had paintings of circus performers, etc. • Family of Saltimbanques
Picasso’s “Style” The background merges with the subject – almost like pieces of a puzzle, you need every piece
Activity! • We haven’t colored in awhile… • On the table are a number of small pictures – pick ONE • Turn it into a pointillism style painting – using the markers (instead of paint and brushes) fill the pictures with several small dots side by side • I will grade these and hang them up • Make sure you put your name on your completed picture (in one corner)
