The Rococo
The RococoGreg A.

Rococo was an 18th century artistic movement originating in Paris, France between 1700-1750. It was a more ornamental successor to Baroque style, characterized by asymmetry, curved forms, focus on ornamentation like shells and scrolls, and themes of intimacy, romance and playfulness. Rococo first influenced interior design, furniture and decorative arts before spreading to painting, sculpture and architecture. Key features included natural motifs, elaborate carving, and integration of decorative arts into interior ensembles.Rococo

Rococo originated in the early 1700s in France as a lighter, more ornate style that evolved from Baroque. It emphasized beauty, nature, and curved, asymmetrical designs inspired by shells and rocks. Rococo flourished during the reign of Louis XV and is seen in paintings like Boucher's Odalisque Brune depicting an aristocratic woman and Watteau's Venetian Pleasure showing an operatic scene. Furniture, interiors, fashion, and jewelry featured elaborate floral motifs, pastel colors, asymmetry, and natural themes reflecting the style's emphasis on beauty, lightness, and nature.Western Art Movements

This painting by Ahmad Fuad Osman titled "Recollections of Long Lost Memories #1" depicts the late Tunku Abdul Rahman and a modern teenager standing in front of a river landscape. It uses monochromatic colors for Tunku Abdul Rahman from the past and brighter colors for the teenager representing the present. The painting comments on how today's youth don't fully understand or appreciate the meaning of independence due to a lack of direct experience with the struggle, as they are more influenced by Western culture. It integrates images from the past and present to convey a message about historical perception versus modern reality.Minimalism

Conceptual art emerged in the 1960s-1970s as a reaction against commercialized art. It prioritized ideas over traditional art objects, using images and objects to convey concepts. Influenced by Duchamp's readymades, it questioned what art is. There was no set style, and works took many forms including installations, performances, and land art. Key ideas included art being conceptual rather than material, reducing objects to minimalism, and requiring viewer participation to complete works. Prominent conceptual artists profiled include Damien Hirst, known for installations using medical and domestic items to explore death, and Tracy Emin who used autobiographical works addressing sexuality and relationships.Rococo

It discusses how the painting broke conventions by depicting nude women in a modern setting with clothed men, which shocked viewers. It summarizes the painting's composition and style, and notes that while Manet drew inspiration from classical works, he presented the scene and figures in a bold, unconventional manner that rendered it almost obscene to contemporary audiences. The document also compares the painting to other works that influenced Manet or responded to the controversy around his work.Cubism

Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. It was developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque between 1907-1920, inspired by African art and Post-Impressionist painters like C辿zanne. Cubism depicted subjects from multiple viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. There were two phases: Analytic Cubism focused on geometric forms like cubes from 1908-1912; Synthetic Cubism reassembled subjects with collage from 1912-1919. Cubism influenced later artistic movements like Surrealism and Expressionism and revolutionized how artists depicted the visual world.Elements of art 2015 16

The document provides an overview of the Baroque period in art and architecture from approximately 1600 to 1750. It was characterized by dramatic, elaborate decoration and highly emotional religious art and architecture. Key figures who defined the Baroque style included Bernini in Rome with works like the Baldachin at St. Peter's.

This document discusses the concept of formalism in art, which emphasizes the visual form and aesthetic qualities of a work over its representational content. It describes how formalism was promoted in the early 20th century by critics like Clive Bell and Roger Fry, who argued that a work's "significant form" produced an emotional response in viewers. The document then outlines how formalism influenced Modernist art movements and was later challenged by anti-formalists who argued it had become too detached from social and political issues. It provides examples of how Minimalism, Conceptual art, and other movements reacted against the dominance of formalism.Art apprec ch1 3

The document discusses the evolving concept of the artist from pre-modern to modern times. Prior to the Renaissance, artists were seen as anonymous craftsmen fulfilling commissions from patrons. In the Renaissance, artists had more independence but were still constrained by contracts. The modern concept of the unique, individual artist emerged in the 19th century with Romanticism. This saw the artist as a troubled genius existing outside of society. In the 20th century, postmodern and conceptual art challenged the notion of the singular artistic author/genius through ideas like collaboration, appropriation, and deconstruction.Lecture, 1990-2000

After World War II, art moved away from modernism and toward postmodernism. Postmodern art explored identity, politics, and the relationship between art and mass culture. Styles included abstract expressionism, minimalism, pop art, conceptual art, and earthworks. Artists like Pollock, Rothko, and Judd created abstract works that emphasized process, emotion, and the qualities of materials over recognizable subjects. Later artists engaged popular culture and examined the definition of art through new media.An%20 art%20lover%e2%80%99s%20delight

The Renaissance art era focused on naturalism, individualism, and classical influences that built upon medieval ideals. Artists like Da Vinci and Michelangelo created iconic works depicting the human form and natural world. Abstract Expressionism emerged after WWII as an American movement that embraced leftist politics and new styles like surrealism. Pop Art blurred high and low culture by incorporating popular imagery from advertisements and media into works by artists like Warhol and Johns. Both modern movements stood out by challenging conventions and influenced future styles that embraced new subject matters and perspectives.Art history

Art serves many functions including assisting with rituals, reflecting customs, communicating ideas, educating people, glorifying power, commemorating the dead, celebrating events like war, protesting war, and entertaining. It has content related to imagery, location, symbols, beliefs, and text. Art can be categorized as fine art, pop culture, or kitsch. Styles include naturalistic, idealized, expressive, classical, non-objective, and impasto. People encounter art daily and are drawn to either its aesthetics or meaning, and some judge certain types of art as more valuable.Art 100- The Purpose and Function of Art

Abstract Expressionism was an American post-WWII art movement centered in New York City that focused on spontaneous, raw expression and large canvases to depict inner emotions and the subconscious. Key artists included Jackson Pollock, known for his drip paintings; Willem de Kooning who used gestural abstraction; and Mark Rothko whose color field paintings conveyed transcendental experiences through large areas of color without subjects. The movement sought to express universal feelings through new techniques arising from surrealism, abstractionism, and the influences of the Depression and World War II.Art 100- Purpose and Function of Art

油
This document provides an overview of concepts of representation in contemporary art. It discusses several key theories of representation, including sign theory, gaze theory, and the theory of the death of the author. Sign theory examines how signs have both denotative and connotative meanings. Gaze theory analyzes how the gaze is gendered and how different subjects interact visually. The death of the author seeks to shift meaning-making from the artist to the audience. A variety of artworks are presented that demonstrate different representational methodologies applying these theoretical concepts.Chapter 26 - New Perspectives on Art and Audience

Abstract Expressionism was an influential art movement based in New York between the 1940s-1960s. It aimed to tap into emotions and the unconscious through spontaneous gestures and application of color. Key artists like Pollock, de Kooning, Rothko, and Kline created large nonrepresentational works using nontraditional techniques like dripping and pouring paint. The movement focused on subjective personal expression and the creative process over traditional aesthetics.SP16UVC1.2

This document discusses what counts as art and explores various examples. It examines how definitions of art and value are socially constructed and can change over time. Folk art is discussed as a category that is defined more by the social position of the maker rather than objective qualities. The document also profiles several self-taught artists like James Hampton and Howard Finster whose outsider art gained recognition later in their lives. Prestige in the art world is influenced by agreements among institutions, critics, and the market.Arts Presentation for ToK 2

The document discusses three theories of art:
1) Art as communication - Art communicates feelings from the artist to the viewer through the artist's unique language. Famous works like Guernica conveyed anti-war messages.
2) Art as education - Art can educate viewers morally and increase knowledge by altering consciousness towards objectivity and unselfishness. Socialist realist art sought to forge ideological consciousness.
3) Art as imitation - Originally, art imitated classical works to achieve technical skill. Later, imitation served other goals like homage, parody, or revealing new truths by drawing on the past. Imitative works can comment on or trivialize originals.Social Realism

Social realism emerged as an art movement in the Philippines in the 1970s during the Marcos dictatorship as artists sought to promote social change through their depictions of everyday life and political issues. Kaisahan, a collective of 13 young artists, coined the term "social realism" and used various media like paintings, prints, comics and murals to portray the struggles of the working class and expose human rights abuses. Their goal was to raise social consciousness and inspire the masses to work for justice, freedom and peace. The social realists addressed themes of oppression, militarization, labor issues and more, drawing from folk traditions as well as Marxist and nationalist ideologies.Surrealism (new)

Surrealism was an artistic movement that brought together artists interested in expressing unconscious thoughts and dreams. It was led by Andre Breton and drew inspiration from Freudian psychoanalysis. There were two main trends - the Automatists who focused on free expression through abstraction, and the Veristic Surrealists who sought to represent unconscious images realistically. Notable Surrealist artists included Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Rene Magritte, and Max Ernst, each with their own unique styles exploring the surreal, paradoxical nature of dreams.Evaluating art
