For example; traditional ways of applying paint, types of oil paints used, and subject matter and composition of paintings started to differ. yonakohen https://padlet.com/yonakohen/e9v7cq06ous8/wish/124236722
Claude Monet - painting by capturing the natural light outside. Painting outside was not a common method of painting.

Artist who were recognized as belonging to the same movement were influenced by each other's work heavily. The resemblances can be observed between paintings of artists who shared similar views about artmaking. yonakohen https://padlet.com/yonakohen/e9v7cq06ous8/wish/124237219 Expressionism - Edvard Munch's painting "The Scream" is recognized today as one of the most important aspects of the modernist movement expressionism.]]> 2016-09-16 01:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/yonakohen/e9v7cq06ous8/wish/124237219 5- Modernism was an era in which while many traditional techniques like painting were still in use and developed further in style many new and unconventional approaches to art making/new mediums were introduced and acknowledged.

Impasto - a technique using thick layers of paint instead of very refined detail. Van Gogh's paintings are a good example of impasto.

Try to scare up some images that , for instance, reflect the connection to literature. (Hint - look at Gustave Moreau and Odilon Redon and look up the book called "A Rebours" by J.K. Huysmans. Or find some works no longer obligated to "traditional ways of applying paint." Sort of illustrate your ideas as you go along.

Thank you! These are very useful sources. -Yona]]> 2016-09-21 18:35:10 UTC https://padlet.com/yonakohen/e9v7cq06ous8/wish/125530047 5) Pointilism  yonakohen https://padlet.com/yonakohen/e9v7cq06ous8/wish/129121723 Pointilism was also a new technique of paint application.

Unlike traditional painters who would sit for long hours at an interior location, impressionists would paint outside and would paint fast because their main aim was to capture the daylight.

It is possible to find similarities within Kirchner's and Nolde's paintings since they were both a part of the expressionist group "Die Brucke"

Georges Seurat - A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte - 1864- 1866

Seurat's painting is one of the most recognized examples of divisionism. ]]> 2016-11-07 13:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/yonakohen/e9v7cq06ous8/wish/135760219 Review #3 ebcutler https://padlet.com/yonakohen/e9v7cq06ous8/wish/137386736 Yona, you have a start here, but you are getting a little off track and trying to think about "art history" as a series of movements rather than as guiding principles. 

#1 is good: Modernism challenges and undermines the former rules of painting.

#2 is more of a problem. How does identification with a group seem modern? It may well but you need to explain that. Are you saying that belonging to a group is a way of being seen as new and different? Or something else? And if being seen as new and different is important, are you saying that originality is a principle of modernism?

#3 exhibitions? Not sure about this.

#4 are you talking about a unity of all the arts? This may be hard to argue.

#5 new techniques--is this related to #1?

So revisit what you have here and see if you can clarify your thoughts before you meet with your group.

Monet, probably the most highly renowned impressionist painter, painted the same scenery over and over to show the effects of changing daylight on color.

At the start of the modernism the phrase referred to breaking former rules of traditional painting, and modernist paintings would use new techniques of applying paint to the surface. The subjects were still recognizable and usually sceneries or humans depicted from real life. However around 1940s, artists started depicting much more abstract compositions on their canvases. Abstraction in painting became an important part of the development of modernism. Artists such as Jackson Pollock, Piet Mondrian, Mark Rothco, Willem de Kooning are important examples of abstraction in painting.

The changes of the art of painting can be examined alone and compared to older methods. However modernist art can't be dissociated from history. The late 19th and early 20th centuries were times marked by important social developments as well, and the art that was made during this period was no doubt affected by the events. Even though there are many sceneries and portraits that exist under modernism, some artworks are famous because they relate directly to social events. 

Pablo Picasso - Guernica

Guernica means war in Spanish. This painting made by Picasso is depicting the violence of the Spanish civil war. ]]> 2016-11-28 19:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/yonakohen/e9v7cq06ous8/wish/140320182 4) yonakohen https://padlet.com/yonakohen/e9v7cq06ous8/wish/140322899 Ernst Ludwig Kirchner - Street Berlin

This painting by Kirchner, made in 1913, can also inform the viewer about the historic period during which it was made. It clearly shows the bourgeoisie going out at night in fancy clothes. This was simultaneous to the events prior to WW1, so it shows how there still was a wealthier class of people who were able to dress well and have fun.]]> 2016-11-28 19:58:31 UTC https://padlet.com/yonakohen/e9v7cq06ous8/wish/140322899 4) yonakohen https://padlet.com/yonakohen/e9v7cq06ous8/wish/140325005 Moulin Rouge - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

This lithograph poster made in 1891 by French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec advertises the night club named moulin rouge. This is also very important in terms of informing the contemporary audience about the context of when this artwork was made.

  • challenge to traditional norms and values
  • abstraction
  • sense of historical context
  • new techniques
  • manifestos/shared projects
