Document Summary
Matisse: 1905- matisse in this time impressionism was mundane (as compared to late 1860"s). People even like it now: art was for money- artist rarely created art for the sake of making a piece- art was a business. The artists we study are challenging this- it"s not a career it"s about questioning the role of a painting, of art in modern society and questioning those traditions and the socially accepted terms of representation. The artist chooses colour free of natural appearance that creates a structure for the painting. The uses of colour s unpleasant- colours here are not accurate depictions (should be grey and brown) but the colour can still be used to express what he"s saying (1906 london bridge) Joseph turner- steam train on the bridge (ain steam and speed. The great western railway: an early example of what the impressionists and fauves would later look at.
