     Vorticism An English avant-garde movement founded by Wyndham Lewis in 1914. The name Vorticism came from the Italian Futurist Umberto Boccioni’s remark that all creative art emanates from an emotional vortex. Like Futurism, Vorticism employed a harsh, angular and highly dynamic style in both painting and sculpture and aimed at capturing activity and movement. Although Vorticism did not survive the First World War it was significant as the fist movement towards abstraction in English art. Vorticism Artists : Bomberg, Lewis

François Boucher, Le Déjeuner, (1739, Louvre), shows a rocaille interior of a French bourgeois family in the 18th century. The porcelain statuette and vase add a touch of chinoiserie.

 

 Rococo  

A light, playful and decorative style that emerged in France around 1700 and was disseminated throughout Europe in the eighteenth century. The term comes from the French word rocaille, meaning the fancy shell- and rockwork used to decorate fountains and grottoes. Predominantly a style of interior decoration, the Rococo is typified by charm, elegance and playfulness and a palette usually consisting of pastel colours. Its subject matter frequently dealt with the leisurely pastimes of the aristocracy and risque’ love themes.

Demetrius Chalcondyles (1424 – 1511) was a Renaissance teacher of Greek and of Platonic philosophy who taught in Italy for over forty years; at Padua, Perugia, Milan and Florence.

  Renaissance

 Throughout the Middle Ages man lived in fear of God and within the omnipresence of the Church. Art generally showed the heaves and saints, and bore little relation to what was happening on earth. From the fourteenth century, however, man began to realize his importance and effect on the world. This rebirth [or ‘renaissance’] was reflected in art: figures became more life, space became more real and the Christian story began to be told from a human point of view. As the decades continued artist were able to recreate the world on panels, frescos and altarpieces with increasing ease. Beginning with the stylized works of Giotto and Masaccio, the Renaissance culminated in the monumental creations of Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo. Although generally associated with Italy, the Renaissance also developed independently north of the Alps in Germany and Flanders. While Italian Renaissance artists laid emphasis on perspective and the illusion of space, Flemish and German artists were more interested in a detailed, jewel-like depiction of the world around them.

Renaissance Artists : [Early Renaissance] Fra Angelico, Botticelli, Donatello, Ghiberti, Ghirlandaio, Giotto, Filippino Lippi, Mantegna, Masaccio, Perugina, Pieto della Francesca, Pollaiuolo, Signorelli, Verrocchio; [High Renaissance] Andrea del Sarto, Fra Bartolommeo, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian; [Northern Renaissance] Altdorfer, Durer, Elsheimer, Grunewald, Mabuse, Massys, Van der Weyden

Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood  

An association of young English artists formed in 1848. Dismayed at what they saw as the decadent state of British painting, the Pre-Raphaelites sought to evoke the sincerity of early Italian art before the High Renaissance master Raphael, as exemplified by artists such as Sandro Botticelli and Filippo Lippi. Pre-Raphaelite pictures frequently depict literary, historical and religious scenes and often make moralizing comments on social behavior and relationships. The artists painted richly textured and minutely detailed pictures which show particular interest in the decorative qualities of flowers and fabric.

Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Artists : Brown, Burne-Jones, Hunt, Millais, Rossetti, Waterhouse

Pittura Metafisica [Metaphysical Painting]

Metaphysical Painting was founded in Italy in 1917 by Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carra’. It is characterized by distorted perspectives, unnatural lighting and strange imagery, often using tailors’ dummies and statues instead of the human body. By placing objects in unlikely contexts, the Metaphysical Painters aimed to create a dreamlike, magical atmosphere. In this respect the movement has much in common with Surrealism, but it differs from Surrealism in its concern with rigid compositional structure and architectural values.

 Op Art

A movement in abstract art that developed in the 1960s. Op Art [short for ‘optical art’] exploits the fallibility of the human eye. The artist plays games with the viewer by creating images which appear to shimmer and pulsate. Although the work of art itself is static, the forms and colours used cause and optical illusion of movement.

Neo [- Classicism, -Expressionism, -Romanticism]

The prefix ‘nero’, meaning ‘new’, refers to a revival of previous trends or ideas. Neo-classicism, for example, was a movement that developed in the latter half of the eighteenth century; its aims were a return to Classical values and a revival of the elegant styles of Ancient Greek and Roman art. In art and architecture it is characterized by a preference for line and symmetry, and by its frequent borrowing from Antique sources. Neo-Expressionism refer to the re-emergence of Expressionist characteristics in the work of particular artists in the USA and Europe, especially Germany, in the late 1970s. Neo-Expressionist works tend to be highly personal often executed with violent fervor. Neo – Romanticism refers to a strongly theatrical form of twentieth-century painting which combines both Romantic and Surrealist elements.

Neo [- Classicism, -Expressionism, -Romanticism] Artists:

[Neo-Classicism] Alma-Tadema, Canova, David, Ingres, Leighton, Mengs, Powers, Prud’hon; [Neo-Expressionism] Auerbach, Baselitz, Bomberg, Boyd, Clemente, Frink, diefer, Schnabel; [Neo-Romanticism] Nash, Piper

Nabis

A small group of French artists, active in the 1880s, who were inspired by Paul Gauguin’s method of painting in pure colour. Their approach is epitomized by a statement by Maurice Denis, one of the group’s members: ‘Remember that a picture. Before being a horse, a nude, or some kind of anecdote, is essentially a flat surface covered with colours.’ Their pictures are characterized by broad surfaces of flat colour or patterns. As well as painting the group was interested in print-making. Posters, book illustrations, textiles and theatre design.

Minimalism Art

A trend in painting and sculpture that developed primarily in the USA during the 1960s and 1970s. As the name implies, Minimalist Art is pared down to its essential; it is purely abstract, objective and anonymous, free of surface decoration or expressive gesture. Minimalist painting and drawing is mono-chromatic and often draws on mathematically derived grids and linear matrices; yet it can also evoke a sensation of the sublime and of states of being. Sculptors used induxtrial processes and materials, such as steel, perspex, even fluorescent tubes, to produce geometric forms, often made in series. This sculpture has no illusionistic properties, relying instead on a bodily experience of the work by the spectator. Minimalism can be seen as a reaction against the emotionalism of Abstract Expressionism, which had dominated modern art through the 1950s.

Mannerism

A development of the Renaissance style, Mannerism is generally seen as a reaction against the harmony, order and perfection of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The style was prevalent in Italy between 1520 and 1600. It is characterized by a use of bright, almost garish colours, elaborate compositions, exaggerated forms and dramatic movement. The term originates in the use of the word maniera, meaning ‘stylishness’ and signifying grace, poise and harmony. The word has developed a variety of meanings over the centuries; however, it is generally associated with art and artists who openly demonstrated excessive skill, virtuosity and caprice.

Bronzino, Cellini, El Greco, Giambologna, Giulio Romano, Parmigianino, Pontormo, Rosso, Tintoretto
