After the development of the camera, artists switched to less realistic styles, including the focus on structure and form of Post-Impressionism (Cézanne, van Gogh), the geometric cubism (Picasso), and abstract painting's lack of reality altogether (Kandinsky).]]> 2018-02-09 17:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/230122159 Exhibit VIII: Modern Art (Surrealism, Bauhaus) 793954 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/230122474 Surrealism
Surrealism was not intended to be rational as they thought rationalism inhibited the imagination. Ideas of Freud and Marx influenced this style, in which both "hyperealism" and less common techniques such as collage could be found. Sometimes objects were placed in strange positions or situations, to see it as it truly was rather than in its standard context. Important artists from this school include Salvador Dalí (The Accomodations of Desire), Dorothea Tanning (Birthday), Yves Tanguy (Mama, Papa is Wounded, below) and others. Surrealism began in France in the 1920s and ended in the 1960s.
Bauhaus
Bauhaus attempted to bring art and manufacturing together, inspired by the earlier Arts and Crafts movement. It made art seem more separate from the rest of the humanities. This school was founded by Walter Gropius in 1919, and was centered on an actual school there. The school ended in 1933 when the Nazis took power. Important artists include Gropius himself (he designed the Bauhaus building), Bayer (who designed a typeface called Universal Bayer), and others.

Artwork, such as amulets and paintings, was also political and displayed the social hierarchy.  Classical Greek art focused on gods and epic heroes. Often, gods were displayed in sculptures and paintings, with focus on the human body and other details. ]]> 2018-02-12 17:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/230707941 Exhibit V: Romanticism 7955881 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/230714922 This was the 19th-century intellectual and artistic movement that stressed the importance of intuition, feeling, emotion, and imagination as sources of knowing. 
One important characteristic of Romanticism was Individuals, which was the interest in the unique traits of each person.
Romantic Literature:
Gothic literature also began to emerge, embodied by the works of Mary Shelley. Shelley wrote of a mad scientist in her well-known novel, Frankenstein.
Romantic Art:
Caspar David Friedrich painted landscapes with an interest in details. Friedrich valued nature, viewing it as a manifestation of divine life, which he conveyed in Man and Woman Gazing at the Moon.
Romantic Music:
Beethoven singlehandedly transformed the art of music. He used music to reflect his deeper inner feelings. With the composition of the Third Symphony or Eroica, he broke through the elements of Romanticism.

Realists often combined their interest in everyday life with a searching examination of social questions.
Realistic Literature:
Literary Realists were distinguished by their deliberate rejection of Romanticism. Gustave Flaubert perfected the realist novel in his work Madame Bovary, which described a town life in France.
Realistic Art:
Gustave Courbet was the most famous artist in the Realist school, in which he painted a realistic portrayal of everyday life. One of his most famous works The Stonebreakers depicted human misery that society wouldn't acknowledge.
Jean-Francois Millet painted scenes from rural life, especially peasants. In The Gleaners, he showed the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. ]]> 2018-02-15 06:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231795479 Exhibit III: Renaissance 7955881 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231795931 The Renaissance, an era of re-brith from the 14th-17th centuries, saw a revival of greco-roman traditions as well as new developments made in art. Some developments made in this era were oil paint, the use of lights and darks, and a sense of depth in paintings. Art was centered around the human relation to the natural world due to the idea of humanism. ]]> 2018-02-15 06:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231795931 Venus Anadyomene 794274 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231799559 2018-02-15 07:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231799559 Man and Woman Gazing at the Moon 7955881 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231800053 2018-02-15 07:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231800053 Eroica 7955881 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231800371 2018-02-15 07:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231800371 Madame Bovary 7955881 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231803261 2018-02-15 07:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231803261 The Stonebreakers 7955881 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231803709 2018-02-15 07:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231803709 The Gleaners 7955881 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231804163 2018-02-15 07:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231804163 Battle Of Plataea 794274 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231904569 2018-02-15 14:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231904569 794274 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231919300 2018-02-15 14:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231919300 794274 https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231920904 2018-02-15 14:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/7955881/cf5z9kdkh1uv/wish/231920904
