This painting was largely attractive to the male audience because, at the time female nudity was not commonplace, so seeing it in a painting was provocative and appealing. The painting was later acquired by Sterling and Francine Clark. The painting is a part of academism, and could be considered as a reaction against impressionism. The Academy was formed after the death of Michaelangelo, D'avinci, and other renaissance artists. It involves classical and traditional approaches to painting and the arts and emphasizes the importance of preservation of tradition.  Additionally, artists working for the (French) Academy, were guaranteed pay, so long as they remained within the academy's guidelines. Artists were scouted and picked from young ages and were brought up being taught fundamental art principals and techniques.

Monet's use of color and a shallow sense of perspective create an energetic sense of movement which mimics photography. This piece falls into the early impressionistic movement, which began in France in the 1860s and valued the expression of movement and experimentation with color and line work over the ability to accurately depict something. Some of the early and influential impressionists include Degas, Renoir and Monet.

Elements such as a mistress in a bustle with a monkey or a man in casual clothing laying comfortably in the grass are all in stand in contrast to each other and emphasize the diversity and social atmospheres in Paris at the time. Seurat and other impressionists and Post impressionists emphasized the importance of knowledge of color theory and were heavily influenced by the scientific understandings of the world around them. Therefore, This style of painting, which is more specifically considered pointillism, required precision in its use of colors, as it is comprised of thousands of dots of paint. ]]> 2022-10-03 01:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323024570 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323040758 This painting depicts a group of women seeing a vision of Jacob wrestling with an angel after listening to a sermon. This painting is significant because of Gaugin's ability to stray from naturalism and its tendencies. In the image, we can tell that accurate perspective isn't a priority in Gaugin's work (hence his still life paintings with disproportionate tables). If we look at the faces or placements of the figures throughout the painting, we can see that there is no use of shading to help indicate whether objects are in the foreground or background. Gaugin was also considered one of the first artists to begin to adopt a more primitivist ideology and incorporate it into his work. Primitivism is not considered an art movement, but a belief that idealizes non-western cultures by assuming that they are more connected to earth and simplicity, but also sees the as inferior to western cultures and society.]]> 2022-10-03 01:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323040758 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323071407 This painting By Van Gogh Depicts a very intense atmosphere within a cafe where a crime is about to take place. Van Gogh is rumored to have painted this after a violent dispute with Gaugin and occurred before he infamously cut off his own ear and before he went to an asylum. Van Gogh's work encapsulates the post impressionist period. Van Gogh's work is very expressive and textured. In this piece, we can see the radiation of light being emitted from the light bulbs based on the distinct and textured line work surrounding the light bulbs. Van Gogh's work marks the transition into a more expressionistic approach to art which is very emotional and marked by its distinct vibrancy and texture and expression of emotion. ]]> 2022-10-03 02:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323071407 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323130336 Much like Van Gogh, Munch also struggled with severe mental health issues and inner turmoil which was then expressed in his artwork. The Cry is possibly a representation of the anxieties and general mental instability that Munch was experiencing. This era marked the beginning of Proto- Expressionism and Symbolism. This Movement also includes artists such as Edouard Vuillard and Henri de Toulouse - Lautrec. Proto- expression is often identifiable through its significantly thick and textured line work and its expressiveness and emotionality and general disregard for depicting accurate forms. ]]> 2022-10-03 04:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323130336 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323150688 This piece was produced by a Color Lithograph and is widely considered to be the origin of graphic arts. When producing this image, it needed to be able to be reproduced many times for very cheap, so a minimal color pallet was used. Additionally, it was a poster, so it needed to be eye catching. Toulouse accomplished all of these things, his color pallet only consists of yellow, red, and a greyscale. Additionally, he uses a suggestive pose in order to attract the attention of a male audience. This piece largely encapsulates what graphic arts aims to communicate which is simplified forms with a minimal color pallet and the ability to effectively communicate while providing minimal but necessary information. ]]> 2022-10-03 04:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323150688 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323167441 This painting depicts two lovers sharing a kiss, but also is a larger metaphor and expression for the love and intimacy shared within a relationship. Klimt is a great representation of the art nouveau style because, this piece, along with others represent the common stylistic techniques used within the genre. Art Nouveau largely emphasizes decorative or ornamental and at times, primitive elements. We can see this, especially in, The Kiss because the figures appeared to be wrapped in a cloak which looks similar to stained glass. ]]> 2022-10-03 05:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323167441 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323174907 Rodin notably emphasized the importance of building forms within his works. He largely emphasizes the drama, energy and movement within the sculpture while also showing his analysis and understanding of the human form. Rodin challenged traditional sculpture by only representing fragmented features of the human body and excluding the arms and legs of the body. By doing this, he expressed the fact that sculpture can still be complete and brilliant despite the fact that it is not represented in it's entirety. ]]> 2022-10-03 05:15:16 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323174907 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323179839 This sculpture depicts both a male and female character embracing and sharing a kiss and is perhaps one of the most recognizable of Brancusi's work and is a sound representation of his ability to simplify and create distinct forms. This piece is notable for its ability to communicate the gender of each form, even though the design of each character is relatively minimal and similar to one another. This piece also has primitive elements in the fact that is similar to indigenous or African sculptures. ]]> 2022-10-03 05:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323179839 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323191255 In this piece, Matisse draws on inspiration from multiple different art movements such as expressionism and neo- expressionism. In this painting, Matisse depicts a model, while also painting himself reflected in a mirror in the background. Matisse is one of the large influential artists in fauvism. Fauvism has a tendency to be expressive in its form and mark making and utilize unrealistic or unnatural and vibrant color pallets. ]]> 2022-10-03 05:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323191255 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323199809 This painting depicts a group of nude figures having a picnic on a beach. Gaugin utilities primarily warm and pink non-naturalistic tones to represent this figures. There are even green and blue halos around some figures, further abstracting from realistic representations of human forms in space. Additionally the embraces taking place among several of the characters provide a sense of sensuality and vivacity. Matisse, along with other french fauvists such as Raoul Dufy and Georges Braque use vibrant tones in their work and nearly abstracted or simplified forms and shadows in their works. ]]> 2022-10-03 05:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323199809 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323208971 In this painting, Kirchner portrays himself with a model, although there is notable uncomfortable sexual tension between the two. There is both a physical distance between them, with Kirchner being in the forefront, which may signify his dissociation or superiority to the model. Additionally, he is only depicted as wearing a robe and is holding his hand near his pelvic area while holding a phallic object, suggesting that he has sexual intentions with the model. Additionally, the model has her hands in front of her pelvis, seemingly guarding it, which possible evokes a sense of shame, discomfort or embarrassment. Kirchner belongs to a genre of fauvism called Die Brucke (or The Bridge). German fauvism in itself aimed to express the artists emotions in more abstract ways while still maintaining an intellectual sense of being. The bridge is defined by mixing elements of both high and low art. ]]> 2022-10-03 06:02:39 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323208971 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323210275 This painting is meant to be a visual expression of what music felt or sounded like to the artist. In this way it is very expressive of the artists emotions and spirituality and connectedness to the elements existing outside of themselves. . It belongs to a movement under german expressionism called the blue rider. The blue rider began as a socially progressive magazine which was headed by Wassily Kandinsky. Similar to other forms of expressionism, it utilized non natural color pallets with expressive line work and abstracted human forms, however, the blue rider aimed to depict more spiritual meanings in their works. Kandinsky very likely had synesthesia and would often express how things like music made him feel and many other artists under the blue rider aimed to capture the abstract emotions an feelings witin their artworks as well.]]> 2022-10-03 06:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323210275 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323225283 This piece depicts a group of prosititues which are soliciting themselves while wearing African masks. It is said that pablo drew inspiration from primitive or african art while visiting a museum and that is where he was able to draw inspiration for the simplified forms of the faces on the female characters in the painting. Cubism in itself uses a plastic language in order to create simplified and expressive forms. It is not naturalistic in its forms and often aims to capture the energy or vague forms of an object. Some of the prominent artists within this movement are Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. ]]> 2022-10-03 06:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323225283 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323227396 Picasso had previously done a portrait of Vollard, but was now attempting to apply the concepts of analytical cubism to the portrait. In the painting, we can see simplified elements of the art dealers face as his body appears to erode or dissolve before out eyes. Although the painting uses minimal shape and color pallet, we are still able to clearly distinguish the fact that it is Vollard in the painting, which goes on to capture the mentally engaging intention of analytic cubism. ]]> 2022-10-03 06:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323227396 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323229257 This Picasso piece actually signified the invention of collage. At this point, Picasso had successfully demonstrated the ability to convey realistic and cubist features within his work, so he then included literal and real physical elements into his work in order to convey texture and further add a layer of abstraction into his work. Synthetic Cubism often involves collage and the ability of artist to add separate physical elements into their work. This movement was spearheaded by Picasso but is practiced by other artists such as Georges Braque, and has influenced its way into other movements such as Dadaism.]]> 2022-10-03 06:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323229257 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323248756 In this piece, we are seeing what is the energy of a soccer player moving. This piece belongs to the futurist movement which draws inspiration from cubism. Futurism originates in Italy and attempts to capture the energy and spirituality which lies beneath or within the visible and tangible surface of an object. Futurist artists also followed a manifesto in which they were striving to rid themselves of past art and social constructs and actually rebel against them. Some of the notable artists from this group were Umberto Bocciono and Kurt Schwitters. ]]> 2022-10-03 06:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323248756 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323249664 This Piece is a part of the abstract art movement, and even more specifically, a part of the De Stijl sub-movement which was originated in the Netherlands and drew from elements of cubism. It aims to communicate simplified and mechanical forms along with a flat style and often minimized color scheme. Those who worked within this movement, most notably Piet Mondrian, utilized neo-plastic elements and language in order to simplify forms into geometric shapes and primary colors. This is a piece that is even in person as the texture of the brush strokes and edges of the canvas were all treated with such detail. ]]> 2022-10-03 06:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323249664 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323253234 This piece is actually a urinal fountain taken out of its original context (a restroom) and placed in an art exhibition. The artists purpose was to cause us to question what constitutes art and whether or not context largely influences our perception of art. This piece is DADAist, however DADAism is technically an anti art movement. Dadaism is an aggressive, pro-war and suggestive movement which traveled to different cities and countries to spread its agendas. To display a piece from this movement as art would inherently go against its anti-art ideology. ]]> 2022-10-03 06:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323253234 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323256620 This piece was constructed to provoke thought and the idea of sensation. It takes every day items and reinvents them by combining them with an unexpected element, in this case, hair, which causes us to re-examine our experience with these objects and reimagine them. Surrealism and its artists question reality and social constructs and often times delve into fantasy and surreal or hallucinatory ideas in order to create dreamlike or out of this world pieces. Surrealism aims to get us to question why we do the things we do, say the things we say, or see things the way we do and rearrange our realities. Notable artists from this movement include Max Ernst, Salvador Dali, and Andre Masson]]> 2022-10-03 06:58:51 UTC https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323256620 juliedelgado44 https://padlet.com/juliedelgado44/2euty75ktk8k8izo/wish/2323265892
