  2. Classical ART Rococo Style, Landscapes, Portraits, Still Life, Neoclassicism

  3. Rococo Style • Rococo: described as an inconsequential version of baroque • fuzzy detail • complex composition • superficiality • decorative • It is essentially decorative and nonfunctional – like the declining aristocracy it represented

  4. Rococo Style • Usually closed composition – but leads the eye in a disorderly fashion • Love, friendship, sentiment, pleasure, and sincerity became predominant themes • None of these characteristics conflict significantly with the overall tone of the Enlightenment

  5. Antoine Watteau (1683-1721) • His paintings are representative of many of the changing values of the aristocracy • Works are largely sentimental

  6. Watteau’s Embarkation for Cythera • Superficiality: Cythera is a mythological land of enchantment - Watteau portrays aristocrats idling away their time as they wait to leave for that faraway place.

  7. Watteau’s Embarkation for Cythera • Fuzzy Details • Soft color areas • Hazy atmosphere • Add to fantasy • Decorative detail of clothing • Each group of doll-like couples engages in graceful conversation and silly games

  8. Landscape and Portraiture • The popularity of landscape and portraiture increased in the 18th century • One of the most influential English painters of the time was Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788) • Landscapes bridge the gap between the Baroque and Romantic styles • Portraits exhibit sensitive elegance

  9. Gainsborough’s Mrs. Graham • Full length portrait • Unique freshness and lyric grace • Almost weightless figure • Beautiful color and delicacy • Some fuzzy details • Very decorative

  10. Gainsborough’s The Market Cart • Delicate use of wash - fuzziness (similar to Watteau) • Explores tonalities and shapes that express a deep and almost mystical response to nature - superficiality • Leads the eye in a disorderly fashion • Trees lead the eye up and to the left to be caught by the downward circling line of the trees and clouds in the background

  11. Still Life • Jean-Baptiste Simeon Chardin (1699-1779) • The finest, and the first famous, still life painter of the time • (started in Germany in the previous century) • His paintings show an interest in the servants and life “below the stairs” in well-to-do households • Everyday items can be raised to a level of unsuspected beauty

  12. Chardin’s Menu de Gras • Each item has intense significance • Richness of texture and color combined with complex, yet careful composition • The eye is directed by shapes and angles • Each new focus demands that we pause and savor its richness

  13. Neoclassicism • Neoclassicism: the return to classical qualities; “new” classicism • Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) • Works illustrate the newly perceived grandeur of antiquity • It was reflected in his subject matter, composition, and historical accuracy • He sought to inspire French patriotism and democracy (lead to the revolution)

  14. David’s The Death of Socrates • David exploits his political ideas using Greek and Roman themes • The subject suggests a devotion to ideals so strong that one should be prepared to die in their defense.

  15. Humanitarianism • The idea that all men and women have the right to dignity and happiness • Enlightened humanitarians painted satire and social commentary • Dramatic scenes of moral subjects

  16. William Hogarth (1697-1764) • His Rake’s Progress and Harlot’s Progress series are attempts to correct raging social ills and to instill solid middle class values

  17. The Harlot’s Progress • The prostitute is a victim of circumstances • She arrives in London, her employer seduces her, and she ends up in Bridewell Prison • 6 plates

  18. The Harlot’s Progress • Mistress to a Wealthy Man

  19. The Harlot’s Progress • From Common to Prostitute

  21. The Harlot’s Progress • Dying of Syphilis

  22. The Harlot’s Progress • Funeral

  23. The Rake’s Progress • Portray’s the downfall of a foolish young man from comfortable circumstances • The series moves through several views of the young man as he sinks lower and lower into corruption • Until he ends up in the Bedlam insane asylum • 8 Paintings

  24. The Rake’s Progress • Fortune left by his dead father

  25. The Rake’s Progress • With all his servants

  26. The Rake’s Progress • The Wild Party

  33. Activity – Create your Own “__’s Progress” • Pick one of your favorite movie characters, and create their “____________’s Progress” series of paintings (or, in this case, drawings.) • You may use anywhere from 6-12 panels (MUST HAVE AT LEAST 6) to tell the story of your character. • Give each panel a TITLE that represents what it’s showing and draw an image that specifically represents that event in their life. • Make sure the pictures are in order and tell the main events of that character’s life • Decide on all your scenes BEFORE you start drawing or you might draw yourself into a hole! • COLOR your pictures

  34. Example – Woody’s Progress from Toy Story • 1. Woody is Andy’s favorite toy - picture of them playing together • 2. Andy receives a new toy - picture of him opening Buzz Lightyear • 3.

Woody tries to get Buzz lost - picture of them falling out of the van at the gas station • 6. Woody and Buzz work together to get back to Andy - picture of them looking for Andy at Pizza Planet • 7. Woody and Buzz return to Andy’s house as friends – picture of all 3 of them playing together

  35. Activity – Create your Own “__’s Progress” • Have the rest of class today and all of class tomorrow to work • Graded on… • Does the story make sense? • Do the pictures represent the story well?
