chapter 20
the rococo and neoclacissism (1680 - 1850)
characteristics chief artists major works historical context
thanks to the advances of Mannerism and the Baroque,
subject matter begins to shift to the mundane and in some
cases, titillating and provocative; neoclassicism
immediately rejects this focusing on the ideal and the
Greco-Roman grandeur
• Paul Peter Rubens• Jean-Honoré
Fragonard• François Boucher• Jacques-Louis David• Jean-Auguste-
Dominique Ingres • Eugene Delacroix
• The Swing• The Death of Marat • Equestrian portrait of
Stanisław Kostka Potocki• Oath of the Horatii • The Death of Socrates • The Lictors Bring to
Brutus the Bodies of His Sons
The 18th century was marked by the Age of Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. Reason, intellectualism, and scientific thought begins to replace and ultimately does replace “the sacred” – that is religious dogma. As with many time periods, the Rococo overlaps with the end of the Baroque and Neoclassicism will remain a mainstay in the French Academy as other movements progress.

romanticism vs. and realism (1780 - 1900)
characteristics chief artists major works historical context
romanticism triumphs the imagination, emotionalism, the
spirit and the individual whereas realism celebrates the working
class and the peasantry; the landscape, objective reality
(against the ideal) the poor, the everyday man, and the mundane continue to be subject matters – perhaps more so than any time
before
• Eugene Delacroix • Caspar David Friedrich• Francisco de Goya• Joseph Mallord William
Turner• Théodore Géricault• Gustave Courbet• Jean-Baptiste Siméon
Chardin• Jules Breton
• Wanderer above the Sea of Fog
• The Third of May 1808• Saturn Devouring One of
His Sons • The Raft of the Medusa• Liberty Leading the
People • Bonjour, Monsieur
Courbet
The transition from the 18th century into the 19th century was riddled with revolutions and war: American Revolution (1775–1783), French Revolution (1789–1799), and Napoleon is crowned emperor of France in 1803. With such varied responses to these wars, it is not surprising that there are conflicts in art. Many take up the rebellious spirit and backlash against the standards of the Academy and neoclassicism.

The American Civil war followed the collapse of the Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Holy Roman and Mughal empires and preceded the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871) and the Unification of Germany in 1871. During this time, the camera and photography becomes widespread throughout Europe and America as the British Empire, the US and the German Empires begin exerting their power around the world. At the end of this period the automobile revolutionizes the cultures of West.

The beginning of the 20th century was marked by the Boxer Rebellion in China, World War I throughout Europe and with US involvement, the Russian Civil War and the Great Depression. New technologies were continually being developed at a fast-paced rate. The airplane, telephone, motion picture, as well as mechanized warfare moved society into the modern era.

“MANIFESTO OF FUTURISM1. We want to sing the love of
danger, the habit of energy and rashness.
2. The essential elements of our poetry will be courage, audacity and revolt.
3. Literature has up to now magnified pensive immobility, ecstasy and slumber. We want to exalt movements of aggression, feverish sleeplessness, the double march, the perilous leap, the slap and the blow with the fist.
4. We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing automobile with its bonnet adorned with great tubes like serpents with explosive breath ... a roaring motor car…“ –excerpts from Manietti’s Futurist Manifesto

chapter 21
dadaism and surrealism (1917 - 1950)
characteristics chief artists major works manifestos
as the subject matter continues to become challenged the
dadaists respond with critique: absurdity and purely
individualized art that challenges everything about reality and what we know;
similarly the surrealists deal in psychology and dreams, further individualizing the media into
pure subjectivity

• Cut with the Dada Kitchen Knife through the Last Weimar Beer-Belly Cultural Epoch in Germany
• Fountain • The Elephant Celebes• This is not a pipe • Entr'acte (film)
“MANIFESTO OF SURREALISM• Beloved imagination, what I most
like in you is your unsparing quality.
• There remains madness, "the madness that one locks up," as it has aptly been described. That madness or another…. We all know, in fact, that the insane owe their incarceration to a tiny number of legally reprehensible acts…
• It is not the fear of madness which will oblige us to leave the flag of imagination furled.
• Not so fast, there; I’m getting into the area of psychology, a subject about which I shall be careful not to joke. “ – excerpts from Andre Breton’s Surrealist Manifesto

Quotes by Warhol…
“An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have”
“Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.”
“I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say ‘figment’…”
Quotes by Rothko…
“It was with the utmost reluctance that I found the figure could not serve my purposes. But a time came when none of us could use the figure without mutilating it.”

Quotes about Postmodernism…
“In Modernism, reality used to validate media. In Postmodernism, the media validate reality. If you don't believe this, just think how many times you've described some real event as being 'just like a movie.‘” - Brad Holland
“Postmodernism refuses to privilege any one perspective, and recognizes only difference, never inequality, only fragments, never conflict.”
- Elizabeth Wilson
the critical process• thinking about art today– what is the role of art today?– how has postmodernism changed art? how has it made the subject
matter of a work turn from objective experience to subjective?– is it a merely a repository of cultural artifacts?– can art help us understand our past, present and future?
• The Weather Project, Olafur Eliasson 2003-2004– is this really a form of entertainment vs. art?– does eliasson transport the viewer? does the artist provide a means
for the viewer to see the future?– if art intrudes on this space, and the viewer intrudes on the art, what
does eliasson say about the viewer/art relationship? – what is it about your world that you have come to understand and
appreciate more deeply and fully?chapter 21
