Chapter 23 Section 5 Literature, Music, and Art in the Industrial Age
Romanticism • Many writers of the 1800’s , reacting against the age of reason and science joined an artistic movement known as romanticism. • Their work appealed to the imagination and spirit of individuality • {They showed life as they wanted it to be rather than how it was} • Romantics valued emotion and instinct above reason • In Britain poets included Wordsworth, Keats, and lord Byron • Other writers include Sir Walter Scott in Scotland, The Grimm Brothers in Germany, and James Fenimore Cooper in America
Music • In Music like in literature there was a movement toward romanticism • One of the inspirations for this was German composer Ludwig Von Beethoven • He expressed his love of nature in Pastoral Symphony • Beethoven’s music became known for its powerful and passionate emotions • Tchaikovsky wrote ballet music, operas and symphonies • His works were often built around stories such as Sleeping Beauty, Romeo and Juliet, and Napoleon’s defeat in Russia • Other composers include Wagner (VAHG nuhr), Verdi, and Chopin (SHOH pan)
Art and Architecture • Romantic painters, like romantic writers, chose subjects from the past and their paintings were full of drama and action • Some opted for painting outside rather than in the studio. As a result their color use was more vivid and intense • In architecture there was a return to the so called gothic revival of the mid 1800’s • The gothic revival was an attempt to recreate the great architectural style of the middle ages • This is reflected in many Churches, colleges, and public buildings in the US
Photography • The age of Photography began in 1839 when the daguerreotype was introduced • Photography showed people the world in new different ways • Photos taken by William Jackson influenced congress to make Yellowstone the first national park • {Matthew Brady’s pictures of the Civil war showed people the reality of war} • The cameras ability to show scenes like these helped give rise to realism
The Rise of Realism • {In the mid 1800’s writers and artists began to deal with everyday life and social settings, in an approach called realism} • For example Mark Twain described life along the Mississippi river • Naturalists took realism even further by showing ugly and unpleasant aspects of everyday life • The exposure of social problems helped bring about reform • Impressionist painters tried to paint vivid impressions of people and places by studying light and color
Experiments in art • Painters and sculptors often rebelled against the industrial world • There was less nationalism in art than in literature and art. There was also more individual experimentation • Landscapes and still life's of painter Paul Cezanne explored the forms and shapes of his subjects • Other artists include Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin (goh GAN), Edgar Degas • That is the end of the notes!
