    3. Manet, Le Dejeuner sur L'herbe (Luncheon on the Grass) 1863

    4. Le Dejeuner sur l’herbe Work shocked the Academy, rejected by jury of official Paris art exhibition Shown at the Salon des Refuses Offensive to show clothed man / nude woman – who meets our gaze. Theme from classical art but Manet made it contemporary. Therefore the Sunday picnic becomes linked to prostitution (real issue in Parisian parks in outer suburbs)

    5. Degas, Woman combing her hair, 1886 Degas – French Impressionist Captures a single moment Voyeuristic quality of catching a woman at her toilette Masterful composition Does he objectify women?

    7. Van Gogh, Starry Night.

    8. Gauguin, Manao tupapau (The Spirit of the Dead Keep Watch) 1892 Gauguin left Paris for Tahiti in 1891 to escape ‘artificial’ European civilisation. European ‘Primitivist’ artists were fascinated by the power of “Primitive art” and mimicked forms and patterns from African, Polynesian arts.

    9. Munch, The Scream 1893 Edvard Munch – Norwegian Wanted to depict “modern inner life” His own psychological condition was somewhat unstable

    10. Matisse, Madame Matisse (the Green Stripe) 1905 Matisse understood ptg did not reproduce nature but represented it. His paintings have a life of their own –form / expressions is one. He consciously arranges the surface as surface, using colour to play off each other. Which colours here are warm / cold? Come forward / go back? How do they create volume? How do they create a sense of life?

    11. Kandinsky, Study for Composition II, 1909 Kandinsky realised the potential of abstract painting when he noticed the beauty of one of his ptgs upside down This work relates to a theme of a rider on horseback (and gave name to Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter. The Rider could symbolise mythical horsemen of apocalypse.

    12. Der Blaue Reiter – The Blue Rider German group; existed in between 1911 - 1914 Goal- free painting from its illusionistic function Artists wanted to make the world ‘visible’ so viewer could communicate with the painting (“artist-work-viewer”) Modelled on Music and its harmonies Colour should, like notes, condense to form colour ‘chords’ and arouse feelings in the viewer of harmony or dissonance “A painting must be composed like music and should ring out like a colour symphony” (Kandinsky)

    13. Picasso, Guernica 1937

    14. Braque, Woman and a Guitar, 1913 Cubists were not interested in emotions or colour, interested in form devpd a new method of ANALYSING forms Also interested in denying illusion in paintings Replaced 1-D fixed viewpoint with several perspectives at once Fragmented forms, broke them into planes, use of collage and ‘found objects’

    15. Mondrian, Broadway Boogie Woogie, 1942 Piet Mondrian was Dutch Founded De Stijl Believed painting needed to be ‘pure’. Bring back focus to key elements of design – colour, shape, surface, line to create harmonious compositions Claimed his art works represented a true version of reality, a pure reality that existed independent to nature. This work is an early work which still refers to a landscapeS

    16. Salvador Dali, The Persistence of Memory, 1931

    17. Rene Magritte, ‘Ceci n’est pas un pipe’ from The Treachery of Images, 1929 Magritte – Belgian Surrealist artist Art may ‘depict’ an object but can never ‘capture’ it Works play with reality and illusion Psychoanalysts say this could reflect his "constant shifting back and forth from what he wishes—'mother is alive'—to what he knows—'mother is dead' ".

    18. The Human Condition 1935 René Magritte described his paintings as "visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, … when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question, 'What does that mean?'. It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable." (Wikipedia)

    19. Antonio Gaudi, La Sagrada Familia

    21. Frida Kahlo, Self Portrait with Thorn necklace, 1940 Mexican artist

    22. Diego Rivera, Murals in the Palacio Nacional depicting Mexico’s history
