Art History

To say there is a "best" artist of cubism or any other type of art is very subjective. Obviously.

Picasso was certainly a titan of art, and not just cubism. However, during his cubist phase, he shared the limelight with Georges Braque, who was equally skilled in cubist perspective, color, and form. They together invented Cubism, on the basis of Cezanne's art.

Besides the two mentioned, one should not forget Juan Gris, who went in their footsteps but added more colour. Also Fernand Leger was an important Cubist, but he developed soon in the direction of Purism, and the human figure became his main concern.

Cezanne is considered to be among the best-he was really to first to use this method of breaking down the light and shadows taking it one step further than Monet. But in my opinion , while Cezanne did many beautiful landscapes and portraits, Picasso's use of liht and dark(Cezanne in the later paintings mostly used high key or what Clement Greenberg referred to as close value, meaning they were not contrasting colors, but close in value,as in pastel shades), made for stronger more memorable images. Cezannes painting were soft,more decorative in comparison with Picasso's crackling pallette. The intensity of Picasso's work leaves an impression on one's mind like no other Cubist that ever lived. Braque was more like Picasso in this and in some cases they were so close it's hard to tell them apart, but in the end Picasso was simply more original and painted with unwavering conviction. And Picasso continued on breaking apart the planes , in his portraits especially , like a diamond cutter, and ultimately influenced Jackson Pollock who in turn took it into a whole new realm of abstract art, far,far away from cubism. Cubism was fairly shortlived as it was a technique, a way of painting,rather easily picked up, but it led to numerous styles in the early 1900's ."Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" Picasso's great and controversial masterpiece of his so called "African " period , cracked art wide open. Not only because of the subject, scale and composition, but in this painting the faces of the women go from somewhat normal recognizable faces to severely contorted and distorted anquished masks. It has been the most talked about and written about painting, of the first half of the twentieth century. Like "Guernica"another of Picasso's triumphs of his career, art critics of the time were hrrified at it's strengh of being. But a little high cubist painting, called "Soda" in the Guggenheim museum is a little gem, that respresents the height of Cubism, though not in such a sensational manner.

Paul Cezanne, Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso were the three major artists.

Quite a few artists after Picasso and Braque came up with the idea as Feininger and Gris.

Crude and mimetic

Post-impressionism took place in France. It is a term that was coined by a British artist and art critic Roger Fry, and used to describe the development of French art since Manet.

The Lascaux caves

In pictorial art the beginning of the 19th century.

The Rococo movement in design and art during the late 17th to early 18th century Paris, was characteristically whimsical and somewhat sensual. Rococo art can be recognized easily by the pastel colors and seashell curved lines in paintings of the period.

Medieval art has a very flat look to it. Sometimes objects in the foreground are larger than those in the background, however, they still appear to exist in the same plane. There is much decorative work in this period, small pieces of jewelry and illuminated manuscripts, not many large paintings were created during this time. The formula for creating the illusion of depth on a 2-dimensional surface (perspective) was not discovered until the early Renaissance, one of the first artists to use it was da Vinci in the 'Mona Lisa'. The background does appear to recede into the distance, while she exists on a plane much closer to the viewer.

Andy Warhol is generally considered to have been the leader of the art pop movement. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and passed away in 1987.

Industrialization

Apex: The great migration

Rococo is a style and architectural period in the 18th century, heavily attributed to France but was essentially worldwide. It is known for its filigree designs, gilding and extravagant detail.

Most of the art created during the middle ages was paid for by churches or kings therefore much of the art created during that period is religious in nature and was used to decorate the large cathedrals built to entice pilgrimages of the faithful who would give and spend money while admiring the beauty and grandeur of the art and architecture. The royalty were also rich patrons but their purchases were more personal in nature such as, commissioning books with painted illustrations, jewelry, fine tapestries to hang on their walls, sculpture to decorate their homes and tombs, etc. Often the wealthy would win favor with the local church by commissioning and donating works to the church in their names and the names of their loved ones, which would then be on display at the cathedral. The architecture of the middle ages in among the most long-lasting and evident example of artwork from this period and so is studied quite intensively in art history.

I have been looking for this same answer all over the W.W.W. but i have found nothing except the historical context no religious or social context i believe was involved in the art period. What i have found so far is that it started in 1905 ended in 1908. Also, i got that they got their name from an art critic who called them Les Fauves meaning wild beasts...thats all i got.

You can have a list of descriptive words to describe any art work. The descriptive words that you choose to use will be guided by how you feel as you reflect on the work. You'll want to use words to describe the way all of your senses "feel" when looking at what the artist has put before you.

There are really no similarties between these two areas. As you're text book might read 'This was a era for Europe'. There were no wars durning this period and monarchy pretty much ended. The rebirth although started in Florence, Italy because of there wealth from controlling the Mediterrainen at the time. The richest family might have been the medici family also. Hope this helps!

The main characteristics of the romantic period are: 1). a closeness to nature 2). a love of folk culture, notable songs and stories 3). making of romantic love a law unto itself, transcending conventional morality 4). a greater freedom of expression in the arts 5). the pursuit of emotional rapture

Religious thought and ideas changed somewhat - Lollards, Hussites, Martin Luther and Calvin all rejected, in one form or another, Christian Doctrine as presented by the Catholic Church. However, this is more to do with religious doctrine than philosophy as such.

The baroque movement conveyed a strong emotion message through the use of those techniques.
