  1. Birth of Modern Art Edouard Manet

  2. Edouard Manet Music in the Tuileries Gardens 1862

  3. Edouard Manet Music in the Tuileries Gardens 1862 Manet’s painting 'Music in the Tuileries Gardens' at first seems to record an everyday scene from modern life – a disorganised crowd listening to an open-air concert. The artist has in fact carefully composed a cultural ‘self-portrait’ as the work contains numerous identifiable sitters, including Manet himself. http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibitions/manet/events-and-resources/key-to-music-in-the-tuileries-gardens-1862,979,MA.html Also, how did this painting show the influence of the birth of photography during that time? (Hint: See what happens to the depiction of people along the edges of the work)

  9. Impressionism

  10. IMPRESSIONISM - How did the term Impressionism come about? - When did this movement develop? - Who were the artists involved in this movement? - What were their aims? - How was their style(s) like?

  11. What does Impression mean/suggest? Sketch Lack of realism IMPRESSION Blurred A moment in time Vague Quick/fast

  12. Claude Monet Impression: Sunrise 1872 Oil on canvas, 48 x 63cm

  13. How are the two works which depict the same subject matter different? Claude Monet Impression: Sunrise 1872 Claude Lorrain Seaport with the embarkation of the queen of sheba 1648

  14. Subject:Misty view of seaport at sunrise Hurried & vigorous brushwork/dabs Predominant use of orange Dispersed/ all-over composition AIM: To capture an instantaneous sensation -- the shimmering surface of water, caring less about detail. No distinction between foreground, middle ground nor background. Claude Monet Impression: Sunrise 1872 This work changed the concept of a ‘completed’ artwork. A ‘sketch’ is now deemed by Monet as worthy of exhibiting

  15. “What does the canvas depict? Look at the catalogue.” “Impression: Sunrise” “Impression -- I was sure of it. I was just telling myself that, since I was impressed, there had to be some impression in it… and what freedom, what ease of workmanship! Wall-paper in its embryonic state is more finished than this seascape.” ~ Louis Leroy

  16. Impressionist’s Pursuit -- Ever-changing Light

  17. Invention of oil paints packaged in air-tight tubes allowed the Impressionists to paint outdoors

  18. The Key Impressionists Edgar Degas (1834 -- 1917) Claude Monet (1840 -- 1926) Auguste Renoir (1841 -- 1919) Mary Cassatt (1844 -- 1926) Camille Pissarro (1830 -- 1903)

  19. Some Examples of work by the Impressionists

  20. 2 main groups: • Landscape: Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley • - Figure: Edgar Degas, Auguste Renoir, Mary Cassatt • Aim: • Objective transcription of the world • To study the effect of light on objects & people.

  21. General Characteristics of Impressionists: • - Clear, bright colours ~ Concept of complementary colours • - Short, choppy brushwork / dabs • - ‘Snapshot’ composition • - Sketchy quality Claude Monet The Poppy Field 1873 Oil on canvas

  22. The Influence of Japanese Woodcut prints on Impressionist artists Hokusai Katsushika Great Wave off Kanagawa 1823-9

  23. Hiroshige Ando Cherry Blossom at Arashiyama Impressionists applied the flat, bright colors, and asymmetrical compositions of woodcuts to their paintings. Kitagawa Utamaro The Three Models

  24. Leader of the Impressionists Claude Monet 1840 -1926

  25. This painting depicts a popular boating and bathing establishment with an adjacent floating café, on the Seine near Bougival to the west of Paris. In the summer of 1869 Monet was living near La Grenouillère with his mistress, Camille, and their son. Working alongside Renoir, he painted sketches of the scene in a very fresh and direct manner, possibly in preparation for a slightly larger canvas, now lost.The exceptionally free handling of Monet's painting may in part be due to the canvas being a sketch for what was to be a more ambitious composition painted back in the studio. He uses broad areas of colour to indicate the boats moored in the shadows, while dots in the lighted water in the background represent a party of bathers in the river.
