ARTH 103 - Symbolism and Expressionism
|
Sketch I for "Composition VII"
|
|
Vasily Kandinsky, 1913, Russian, Expressionism (Der Blaue Reiter). Abstracted connection of color, lines and forms. Meant to express relentlessness of universal forces. Kandinsky was influenced by music in his artwork, especially by Wagner. This was a study for a final piece.
|
|
Paul Klee, 1915, German, Expressionism (Der Blaue Reiter). Combines directness and naivete of children's art with saturated colors of stained glass art. Very geometric; triangular mountain expresses theosophical belief in the power of the shape. Religious symbols (star of David, Islamic moon, hieroglyphics). Nature connected to spirituality through the tree and mountain. Expresses Klee's feelings on the nature of life and the universe -- all the unessential is stripped away.
|
|
Oskar Kokoschka, 1914, Austrian, Expressionism. Self portrait with mistress. Looks as if they're in the sky. Painted during tumultuous time of their relationship, he looks frustrated. Tries to hold on, but knows it's ending.
|
|
Hans Ludwig Kirchner, 1908, German, Expressionism (Die Brucke). Nauseating depiction of people in Dresden. Little girl looks most evil of all. Woman picks up skirts showing undergarments -- comment on morality of people in Dresden. Technology and people are claustrophobic, reflects melancholy of city life that Kirchner felt.
|
|
Henri Matisse, 1905-1906, French, Expressionism (The Fauves). Colors are pleasant to look at. The perspective is off. Modernized version of Greco-Roman art, some characters are gender neutral, no real continuity. Not meant to be upsetting, meant to take mind off reality as escapism.
|
|
Edvard Munch, 1893, Norwegian, Symbolism. Nightmarish quality. Represents Munch's reaction to the futility of life. Also a reaction to the eruption of Krakatoa, which caused the sky to turn red and led to fears of the coming century.
|
|
Henri Rousseau, 1910, French, Symbolism. Bizarre imagery, including animals, a man playing a flute, moon in broad daylight and a woman who isn't phased by any of it. The title pretty much explains it.
