Everything There Is To Know About Art In One Class Period!
Renaissance (1300-1600) • Revival of interest in Classical art • Perspective, three-dimensional sculpture • Reflects rise of humanism and importance of patrons
Mannerism (1520-1600) • Either the end of the Renaissance or the beginning of Baroque • Should artists follow the “manner” of what came before or try new things? • Exaggerates or fantasizes the human form
Parmigianino – “Madonna with the Long Neck” (1534) Note the elongated proportions, stylized poses and lack of clear perspective.
Baroque (1600-1750) • Art characterized by ornamentation and curves, not straight lines • Drama, rich color, bright light, dark shadows • Art serves the Counter-Reformation and Absolutism • Art centralized to serve the state as center of art moves from Rome to Paris
Rococo (Baroque Gone Wild!) (1720-1789) • Art is lighter and less formal reaction against Baroque • Often portrays a fantasy world
Neoclassicism (1770-1820) • Looks to Greece and Rome for inspiration • Strips away Rococo frivolity and Baroque ornament (but what goes in its place?)
Romanticism (1800-1850) • Glorification of nature, patriotism and the Medieval past • Emphasize feeling not reason • Often linked with nationalism
Realism (1850-1880) • Grittier and with more attention to social problems and context • Portrays real peasants, workers and events • Based on fact not emotion, goes with Realpolitik
Impressionism (1870-1905) • Focus on accurate depiction of light and inclusion of movement or change over time • Ordinary subject matter including life of the middle class • Partly an attempt to capture impressions that photography could not
Modern (20th Century) • Art influenced by Freud, Einstein and Age of Anxiety • Too fractured to make general statements
