SLIDESMANIA
 ART NOUVEAU THREE FAMOUS ARTISTS
· Between 1890 and 1910, countries from Europe and
the United States witnessed the emergence and flourishing
of a new art style.

· This ornamental style of art was a break from the

conservative historicism, which was the prevailing and
dominant theme of most Western artworks.

· This ornamental style uses long and organic lines that

are concretely manifested in architecture, jewelry and glass
design, among others. LOUIS COMFORT GUSTAV KLIMT
TIFFANY
· The defining characteristic of Art Nouveau is the
asymmetrical line that usually is in the form of insect wings
or flower stalks. The line is done in such a graceful and
elegant manner that somehow evokes a certain power to it.

 ART NOUVEAU THREE FAMOUS ARTISTS
· Art Nouveau drew inspiration from both organic and
geometric forms to create elegant flowing designs that
resembled the stems, vines, tendrils, blossoms, and flowers of
plants.

· Both Art Nouveau and Art Deco are early expressions of

modernity. The difference between Art Nouveau and Art Deco
was ART NOUVEAU features curved in lines and organic forms
that celebrate nature while ART DECO is more industrial and
full of straight lines, geometry, and sharp edges.

· These rebel artists driven to impart their own style in the LOUIS COMFORT GUSTAV KLIMT
art world were the innovators but highly influential movement TIFFANY
known as Art Nouveau.

· Art Nouveau pieces are organic in their ornamentation

featuring what many art historians call whiplash curves
decorating every available surface.

Common characteristics of Art Nouveau

are muted colors (all colors that have low
saturation (or chrome). These are subtle
colors that are not bright or have been
subdued, dulled, or grayed.

Examples of this Art Nouveau can be found in all art
forms during this time. Art Nouveau was the first artistic movement
to give serious credibility to the graphic arts especially the poster as
an art form. Job
- Art Nouveau had a great run and even though it lasted
only 20 years, the work produced during this period made a lasting
expression on the art world towards the end of Art Nouveau, the
prevailing aesthetic eventually gave way to the more industrial lines
of modernism ad the more predictable geometric forms of Art deco
still the influence and appreciation of Art Nouveau organic forms
and prolific ornamentation has lasted through today.

SLIDESMANIA
 FAUVISM ONE FAMOUS ARTISTS
· This is a style of painting that emerged in
France around the turn of the twentieth
century.

· What makes fauvists revolutionary is that

they used pure and vibrant colors by applying
straight from the paint tubes directly to the
canvas.
Henri Matisse
· This is done to produce a sense of explosion
of colors in the canvas.

· The difference lies with how the fauves have

this strong and expressive reaction to how
they portray their subjects.

SLIDESMANIA.C
 FAUVISM ONE FAMOUS ARTISTS
· Most fauvist works reject the conservative and
traditional renderings of three-dimensional space

· What artists did was they introduced and

promoted a picture space that is defined by the
movement of color.

· This goes along with the unique color schemes

and color renditions of objects and people in
fauvism.

· Henri Matisse said he did not choose colors Henri Matisse

based on scientific theory like post-impressionist
but on feeling, observation, and the nature of each
experience. Also full of artists shifted away from
urban themes and return to impressionist subject.

HISTORY OF FAUVISM
· Developed in France during the 20
century
· Started by Henri Matisse- He is a
leader in the fauvist movement.
· The term FAUVISM means WILD
BEASTS (known as Les Fauves in French
term)
· The term Les Fauves was born when a
painting by Henri Matisse was shown at an
exhibition at 1906 Salon d’Automne
· There were Fauvists but Henri was one of
th
the dominant figure
· It was not exactly an art movement
· The name, Les Fauves was actually first
used as a derogatory remark about their work
by French art critic Louis Vauxcelles. Les
Fauves actually means “wild beasts”—it
referred to Matisse and the others' choice of
colors, indicating that their work was savage
and primitive.
· It started with Henri Matisse experimenting
with colors in painting
SLIDESMANIA.C
 FAUVISM
· Fauvism valued individual
expression. The artist’s direct experience
of his subjects, his emotional response to
nature, and his intuition were all more
important than academic theory or
elevated subject matter.
· Color could project a mood and
establish a structure within the work of
art without having to be true to the
natural world.
Fauvism’s central artistic concerns was
the overall balance of the composition.
The fauves’ simplified forms and
saturated colors drew attention to the
inherent flatness of the canvas or paper;
within that pictorial space, each element
played a specific role. The immediate
visual impression of the work is to be
strong and unified.

-
CUBISM
was a revolutionary new approach to representing
reality invented in around 1907–08 by artists Pablo Picasso
and Georges Braque. They brought different views of TWO FAMOUS ARTISTS
subjects (usually objects or figures) together in the same
picture, resulting in paintings that appear fragmented and
abstracted.

- a style of art that stresses abstract structure at the Pablo Picasso

expense of other pictorial elements especially by displaying
several aspects of the same object simultaneously and by
fragmenting the form of depicted objects.

- Cubism is an artistic movement, created by Pablo

Picasso and Georges Braque, which employs geometric
shapes in depictions of human and other forms. Over time,
the geometric touches grew so intense that they sometimes
overtook the represented forms, creating a more pure level
of visual abstraction. Georges Braque

 FUTURISM
- Futurism was launched by the Italian poet
THREE FAMOUS ARTISTS
Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1909. On 20
February he published his Manifesto of Futurism
on the front page of the Paris newspaper Le Figaro.

- Among modernist movements futurism was

exceptionally vehement in its denunciation of the
past. This was because in Italy the weight of past
culture was felt as particularly oppressive.
Giacomo Balla
- Futurist painting used elements of neo-
impressionism and cubism to create compositions
that expressed the idea of the dynamism, the energy
and movement, of modern life.
