Who said: “Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more arbitrarily so as to express myself forcibly. . . I have tried to express the terrible passions of humanity by means of red and green. . .”?

 * Essay Questions. **


 * 1. Show ** Watteau, "Pilgrimage to Cythera" (FIG. 29-6).
 * Question. **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;"> To what time period does this painting belong? What social class would most likely have favored this painting? How does the painter use color and composition to help establish the painting’s ambiance and mood? (8 minutes)

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">Students should explain this is a Rococo style painting favored by the pre-Revolutionary French aristocracy. The pastel colors help give the paintings its soft and dreamy appearance.


 * 2. Show** Jacque Louis Davis, "Oath of the Horatii//"// (FIG. 29-23).
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">Question **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">. Identify the artist of this painting. What are the essential political messages the painter wished to convey and what stylistic qualities did he use to strengthen this message. //An alternate “political propaganda” question might be asked of David’s “//Death of Marat.”

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">Students should identify David and discuss the elements of line and design of this neoclassic painting. The heroic postures and finger pointing invoke Roman art and devotion to State. It is good, sound propaganda art.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">Chapter 30 is enormous so break into 5 sections:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">1. Lecture Strategies and Key Ideas. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">This chapter introduces European and American art of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period that was inspired and influenced by scientific secularizing (“positivism"), urbanization and, in the arts, the development of photography. The era was revolutionary in the way artists saw their craft and this period witnessed a complex number of painting styles.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">The length of the chapter suggests it be broken down into several teaching modules and teachers might consider subdividing reading and lectures into four sessions.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">(1) “Neoclassical” art of France; <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;"> (2) “Romanticism” from Spain, France, England and United States (see **<span style="font-family: 'Univers-Bold','sans-serif';">The Romantic Spirit in Art, Music, and Literature); ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">(3) “Realism,” the term given to styles of the period that shared an introspective character with art as a commentary on both the “real” world of artists and on their profession; <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">(4) “Pre-Raphaelites" who looked to the Middle Ages for emotional and aesthetic inspiration; and <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;">(5) Architecture and Photography of the 19th century.

LAS MENINAS AND META-ART STUDY! The link below will direct you to a blog post RE: Meta-Painting within Diego Velazquez' famous work, "Las Meninas" (1656). Velazquez was a leading Spanish artist in the court of King Philip IV, and as such, was commissioned to paint grand works of portraiture. "Las Meninas" combines traditional elements of portaiture with meta-themes that ultimately cause us to question the true subject/purpose of the painting.
