ART HISTORY III: MASTERY IN THREE MEDIA - FIRE AND ICE-THE ROMANTIC-CLASSIC DEBATE

Nineteenth-century Neoclassical art redirected the course of French painting. Works by David and Ingres expressed France's moral and psychological revolution against the crown. Romantic painting emerged when rigid neoclassical rules seemed to strangle imagination. Emphasizing imagination and emotion, paintings by Gericault and Delacroix demonstrate the Romantics' struggle to restore the humanity, passion, and drama of art after Napoleon's fall at Waterloo.

ART HISTORY III: MASTERY IN THREE MEDIA - FRENCH ROCOCO PAINTERS OF COURT AND COURTIERS

French Rococo paintings are representative of the frivolous, fairy-tale existence of the nobility during the eighteenth century-from the reign of Louis XIV, when France controlled every aspect of life, to the Regency of Louis XV, when the nobility shielded themselves from the poverty of the people. The works of Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard, Chardin, and Vigee-LeBrun illustrate the fragile, delicate, playful style and trivial themes and characters of Rococo painting.

ART HISTORY III: MASTERY IN THREE MEDIA - SOUTH OF THE BORDER

The role of politics in twentieth-century Latin American art. The appeal of communism to early twentieth-century Mexican painters and muralists (Kahlo, Orozco, Rivera, and Siqueiros) is reflected in the portraits, traditions, and struggles glorifying their people. Tamayo, an outspoken anti-communist, preferred to associate with the surrealists and cubists rather than with other Mexican painters. Today, Latin American artists continue to produce politically motivated works, such as Colombian Botero's political cartoons and Paris-born Venezuelan Marisol's satirical sculptures.

ART HISTORY III: MASTERY IN THREE MEDIA - THE TRIUMPH OF POPULAR REALISM IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY FRANCE

By 1840, French painters were no longer concerned with depicting the court and courtiers of the successive reigns of kings, the Napoleonic era, or Neoclassicism. Realist painters were guided by real-world landscapes, objects, and people, and usually painted outdoors. Works of Corot, Daumier, Millet, Bonheur, and Courbet illustrate the desire of Realists to interpret the visual world as precisely as possible.

ART HISTORY I: A CENTURY OF MODERN ART - ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM

This American art movement of the 1940s and 1950s manifested the creative feelings, frustrations, and struggles of painters through gestures and motion. The early movement's preoccupation with automatic writing, motion, and chaos are demonstrated in the bold gestural paintings of Kline, de Kooning, and Gottlieb, and focus on Pollock's technique of spattering and dribbling. The importance of color as a powerful emotive element is demonstrated through works by Rothko, Frankenthaler, and Louis. The precise canvases of Frank Stella suggest a reaction to Abstract Expressionism.

Four Impressionist masters are presented: Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Cassatt. Post-Impressionism is explored through the works of Seurat and Toulouse-Lautrec.

Early Flemish paintings grew out of illuminated Gothic manuscripts. In portraying interiors and furnishings, towns, rivers, trees, and flowers, van Eyck, Van der Weyden, Bruegel the Elder, and Memling developed a technique of painting on wood panels with oil, creating an enamel-like smoothness and an impression of light reflected from deep within. In later Flemish works, the character of Baroque painting was embodied in the dramatic masterpieces of Rubens.
