[Music] thank you good day everyone in this video we are going to discuss the great and map a lesson on their arts for the first quarter this lesson will be focused on the different types of Modern Art if you are ready to listen let's start with our lesson [Music] history art has mirrored life in the community Scholars lines shapes and forms the same has been true in the last two Centuries with world events and Global Trends being reflected in the art movements the decades from 1900 to the present have seen the human race living in an ever-shrinking planet the 20th century saw a boom in The Interchange of ideas beliefs values and the lifestyles that continues to bring the citizens of the world closer together from the industrial revolution of the late 1800s the world zoomed into the electronic age in the mid-1900s then into the present cyberspace age in just over a hundred years humans went from hand-cranked for telephones to hands-free mobile phones from the first automobiles to interplanetary space vehicles from local radio broadcasting to international news coverage via satellite from vaccinations against polio and small talks to laser surgery when it comes to the effects on the world of art the art movements of the late 19th century to the 20th century captured and expressed all these and more specifically these were the movements known as impressionism and expressionism while earlier periods of art had a quite set conventions as to the style technique and treatments of their subjects Impressionists and expressionists conveyed their ideas and feelings in bold innovative ways this were the exciting precursors of the Modern Art of the 20th century [Music] in this lesson we are going to talk about the different kinds of 20th century art forms we'll be talking about impressionism expressionism abstractionism abstract expressionism and lastly the contemporary art forms let's start with the origins of the movement of impressionism [Music] impressionism was an art movement that emerged in the second half of the 19th century among a group of paris-based artists the duration of the impressionist movement itself was quite short less than 20 years from 1872 to the mid-1880s but it had a tremendous impact and influence on the painting styles that followed such as a neo-impressionism post-impressionism for vision and cubism and even the Artistic Styles and movements of the day the name impressionism was coined from the title of a work by the French painter Claude Monet this painting is entitled impression Soleil Levon in English it's called Impression Sunrise and it is an oil on canvas that called Monet decided to do in the year 1872. the term precisely captured what this group of artists sought to represent in their works the viewers momentary impression of an image it was not intended to be clear or precise but more like a fleeting fragment of reality caught on canvas sometimes in mid-motion at other times awkwardly positioned just as it would be in real life let's talk about the influence of De La Croix as with all emerging art movements impressionism owed its inspiration to earlier Masters one major influence was the work of the French painter Eugene De La Croix De La Croix was greatly admired and emulated by the early Impressionists specifically for his use of expressive brush Strokes his emphasis on movement rather than on Clarity of form and most of all his study of the optical effects of color in particular the Lacroix painting The Bark of Dante contained a then revolutionary technique that would profoundly influence the coming impressionist movement and it involved something as simple as droplets of water the painting is Loosely based on a fictional scene from Dante's Inferno showing Dante and the poet Virgil Crossing hell's River sticks while tormented Souls struggle to climb aboard their boat it is the drops of water running down the bodies of this doomed Souls see the enlarged detail next slide that are painted in a manner almost never used in delacroix time when studied closely it is seen that four different unmixed pigments yellow green red and white create the image of each drop in its shadow viewed from a little distance this colors blend to represent individual drops glistening with light the distinct colors merge in the eye of the viewer to appear monochromatic which means single colored or in this case of water droplets colorless in short an impression is formed putting this and similar principles into wider practice future painters would carry French art into one of its richest periods impressionism foreign now let's talk about a break from past painting Traditions under impressionism there were several areas in which impressionist artists move away from the established particles of art at the time this involved their use of color choice of subject matter and setting and technique for capturing light and conveying movement let's talk about color and Light the painting conventions and techniques of earlier art periods were very much concerned with line form and composition in contrast the impression is painted with freely brushed colors that conveyed more of a visual effect rather than a detailed rendering of the subject they used short broken Strokes that were intentionally made visible to the viewer they also often placed pure unmixed colors side by side rather than Blended smoothly or shaded the result was a feeling of energy and intensity as the colors appeared to shift and move again just as they do in reality [Music] when it comes to Everyday subjects Impressionists also began to break away from the creation of formally post portraits in grandiose directions of mythical literary historical or religious subjects they ventured into capturing scenes of life around them household objects Landscapes and seascapes houses cafes and buildings they presented Ordinary People seemingly caught off guard doing everyday tasks at work or at leisure or doing nothing at all and they were not made to look beautiful or lifelike as body parts could be distorted and facial features merely suggested by a few Strokes of the brush the location in which the Impressionists painted was also different previously still life's portraits and Landscapes were usually painted inside a studio however the Impressionists found that they could best capture the ever-changing effects of light on color by painting outdoors in natural light this gave their works of freshness and immediacy that was a quiet change from the stiffer heavier more planned paintings of earlier Masters impressionist painting also moved away from the formal structured approach to placing and positioning their subjects they experimented with unusual visual angles the sizes of objects that appeared out of proportion off-center placement and empty spaces on the canvas photography has also influenced the artworks in impressionism photography was in its early stages at this time as well as it gained popularity photography inspired Impressionists to capture fleeting moments of action whether in Landscapes or in the day-to-day lives of people but whereas kamirash snapshots provided objective true to life images the artists were able to offer a subjective view of their subjects expressing their personal perceptions rather than creating exact representations they also had the advantage of manipulating color which photography at that time still lacked foreign let's now discuss the works of money Monet and Renoir let's start with Edward bunny he lived from 1832 until 1883. Edward Monet was one of the first 19th century artists to depict Modern Life subjects he was a key figure in the transition from realism to impressionism with a number of his Works considered as marking the birth of Modern Art my niece first artwork is called argentool he made it in 1874 and it is an oil on canvas painting another painting is called Cafe concert which he did in 1878 and it is also an oil on canvas [Music] another artwork is called Rue mosny decked with flags he made it way back 1878 also oil on canvas another work is called the bar at Folly Berger in 1882 which is also a work of oil on canvas another artist is named Claude Monet he lived from 1840 until 1926. Claude Monet was one of the founders of the impressionist movement along with his friends August Renoir Alfred Sisley and Frederick Bazil he was the most prominent of the group and is considered the most influential figure in the movement Monet is best known for his landscape paintings particularly those depicting his beloved flower gardens and water lily ponds at his home in javerney [Music] here are some artworks of Monet the first one is called La Promenade which he did way back 1875 and oil on canvas painting another one is called the red boats Arjun tool he did it way back 1875. it is also oil on canvas [Music] another work is called bridge over a pond of water lilies he made it way back 1899 another work on oil on canvas lastly another word of Monet is called irises in Monet's garden he did it in 1900 which is also oil on canvas another famous painter in this artistic movement is named August Renoir he lived from 1841 until 1919. August Renoir along with Claude Monet was one of the central figures of the impressionist movement his early Works were snapshots of real life full of sparkling color and Light by the mid-1880s however Renoir broke away from the impressionist movement to apply a more disciplined formal technique to portraits of actual people and figure paintings here are some of the artworks often wore the first one is called dancer which he did way back 1874 and oil on canvas painting another artwork on oil on canvas is called a girl with a watering can which he did way back 1876. another artwork of Renoir is called Malay Irene kahen Danvers way back 1880 which is also oil on canvas [Music] lastly renoir's work is entitled Luncheon of the Boating Party which he did way back 1881 also oil on canvas this time let's talk about the works of Cezanne and Van Gogh under the post-impressionism artworks after the brief yet highly influential period of impressionism an outgrowth movement known as post-impressionism emerged the European artists who were at the Forefront of this movement continued using the basic qualities of the Impressionists before them the Vivid colors heavy brush strokes and true to life subjects however they expanded and experimented with this in bold new ways like using a geometric approach fragmenting objects and distorting people's faces and body parts and applying colors that were not necessarily realistic or natural two of the foremost post-impressionists were Paul Cezanne and Vincent van Gogh let's first talk about Paul Cezanne he lived from 1839 up to 1906. Paul Cezanne was a French artist and post-impressionist painter his work exemplified transition from the late 19th century impressionism to a new and radically different world of Art in the 20th century Paving the way for the next revolutionary art movement known as expressionism here are some of the artworks of Suzanne first is called Hortense Thicket enough striped skirt this is a work of Cezanne from 1878 it is oil on canvas another artwork is called still life with compote it is a work which he did from 1879 up to 1882. it is also oil on canvas another work is entitled Harlequin which he did from 1888 to 1890 also oil on canvas artwork last example of the artworks of Cezanne is called boy in a red vest which he did way back 1890 also an oil on canvas painting [Music] another famous post-impressionistic artist is named Vincent van Gogh Vincent lived from 1853 up to 1890. he was a post-impressionist painter from the Netherlands his works are remarkable for their strong heavy brush Strokes intense emotions and colors that appeared to almost pulsate with energy Van Gogh's striking style was to have a far-reaching influence on 20th century art with his Works becoming among the most recognized in the world here are some artworks of Vincent Van Gogh the first one is called sheaves of wheat in a field he did it way back 1885 an oil on canvas painting another artwork is called the sower which he did way back 1888 another oil and canvas painting [Music] next is called still life vase with 15 sunflowers which he did way back 1888. another one is called bedroom at arlis which he did way back 1888 and one of the most famous painting of Vincent Van Gogh called starry night he did it way back 1889 which is an oil and canvas painting lastly a work called wheat field with cypresses which he did way back 1889 which is an oil on canvas painting to summarize the Impressionists search for a more exact analysis of the effects of color and light in nature they sought to capture the atmosphere of a particular time of day or the effects of different weather conditions they often work outdoors and applied their paint in small brightly colored Strokes which meant sacrificing much of the outline and detail of their subject impressionism abandoned the conventional idea that the shadow of an object was made up from its color with some brown or black added instead the Impressionists enriched their colors with the idea that a shadow is broken up with dashes of its complementary color and that's the end of the first part of our topic under first quarter lesson in arts I hope you learned a lot about the impressionistic art movement under modern art for the next part of this lesson please watch the other videos uploaded in my channel thank you for watching and see you in our next lesson bye
