Document Summary
Fauvism and expressionism (continued) (lecture continued from wednesday) Wanted to place certain artists together on display. Childlike colors, not a flattering comment from critics. Arbitrary color: color freed from its descriptive role and employed instead for expressive and emotional effect. Mixed technique : many different types of brushstrokes, seeming spontaneous, sketch- like. Inspired by art of other cultures; taking on mask-like qualities for faces, for example. Interest in color for its own sake and its expressive, symbolic qualities. More order and structure, but based on artists" subjectivity. Rejects impressionist emphasis on spontaneous recording of color and light. Style of painting in which the artists seek to render emotional experience, than visual impressions of the physical world. Effort to create utopian counter-worlds (in this course) two groups: artists" group bruke and der blaue reiter. Many artists got away from the city to collaborate and work together. Identify stages in the development of analytic and synthetic cubism.
