  5. Discussion • 3. Describe the various costumes you see (girls, Prince Seigfried, Von Rothbart.) How do they help tell the story?

  6. Discussion • 4. Did you enjoy what you saw? Would you buy tickets to Swan Lake? Why or why not? • This one I won’t make you share – but answer HONESTLY on your paper. • Turn these papers into the box for credit. I will pass them back in a few days and they will go back into your binder.

  7. Romantic Art Painting

  8. Romantic Painting • Romantic style had an emotional appeal (similar to music, opera, and ballet) • Romantic compositions moved toward fragmentation of images • With the intention of dramatizing, personalizing, and escaping into imagination • Painting strove to get away from formal content and move towards the expressive

  9. Romantic Painting - Characteristics • Characteristics of Romantic Painting: • Fragmented – usually by lines (most often diagonals) • Clear obvious brushstrokes (texture) • Strong contrast • Very expressive to the point that detail sometimes suffer for emotion • Often involves a sense of “doom”

  10. Romantic Painting • We’ll look at the work of several artists to demonstrate the emotional themes and individuality • You will NOT need to name these paintings on the quiz or test • You will want to remember these names… • And (remember you WILL have music recognition)

  11. Francisco de Goya • 1746-1828 • Spanish • Used his paintings to attack the abuses perpetrated by governments, both the Spanish and the French • His highly imaginative and often nightmarish works capture the emotional character of humanity and nature

  12. The Third of May - Goya • Tells a true story • On May 3rd, the citizens of Madrid rebelled against the invading army of Napoleon • People were arbitrarily arrested and executed by the masses

  13. The Third of May - Goya What/who is the focal point?

  14. The Third of May - Goya • It is impossible to escape the focal point of the story – the man in white about to die • His strong value contrasts force the eye back to the victim • The lantern behind the soldiers keeps the work in balance

  15. The Third of May - Goya • Goya leads us beyond the death of individuals here • The figures are not naturalistically depicted people • Instead, Goya makes a powerful social and emotional statement

  16. The Third of May - Goya • The soldiers’ faces are hidden and their rigid, repeated forms create a frightening line of suffering • The murky quality of the background strengthens the value contrasts and charges the emotional drama

  17. The Third of May - Goya • Color areas have hard edges • A stark line of light running from the oversized lantern to the lower border separates the executioners and victims

  18. The Third of May - Goya What Romantic characteristics are seen?

  19. J.M.W. Turner • 1775-1851 • English • Indulged in a subjectivity even beyond that of his Romantic contemporaries • His work foreshadows the dissolving image of 20th century painting • “airy visions with tinted steam”

  20. The Slave Ship - Turner

  21. The Slave Ship - Turner • Visualizes a passage in James Thomson’s poem “The Seasons” which describes how sharks follow a slave ship in a storm “lured by the scent of steaming crowds of rank disease and death.”

  22. The Slave Ship - Turner • Elements of Romantic Painting: • Fragmented by disjointed diagonals • The brushstrokes are energetic and spontaneous • The sea and sky appear transparent • Expression dominates form and content – a sense of doom prevails

  23. Eugene Delacroix • 1798-1863 • Employed color, light, and shade to capture the climactic moments of high emotion

  24. The 28th of July: Liberty Leading the People - Delacroix • Shows the allegorical figure of Liberty bearing the tricolor flag of France and leading the charge of a freedom loving people

  25. The 28th of July: Liberty Leading the People - Delacroix Which characteristics of Romantic art are evident here?

  26. The 28th of July: Liberty Leading the People - Delacroix • Lights and darks provide strong and dramatic contrasts • The red, white, and blue, used around the work unify the scene

  27. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot • 1796-1875 • “Romantic naturalism” • First to execute finished paintings outdoors rather than in a studio • He wanted to create the full luminosity of nature and to capture the natural effect of visual perception • Visual perception: how the eye focuses on detail and how peripheral vision works

  28. Volterra - Corot How is there visual perception?

  29. Volterra - Corot • Strives to achieve a true-to-life visual effect by reducing the graphic clarity of all details except those of the central objects (which are presented very clearly) • Just as our eyes perceive clearly only those objects on which we are focused

  30. Romantic vs... • BAROQUE • Chiaroscuro is DIFFERENT from Fragmentation • Chairoscuro is a strip of bright light (high values) • Fragmentation is having one side of the painting high in contrast from the other • CLASSICAL • Both Romantic and Classical aren’t overly detailed • Classical is POSITIVE (Utopia – graceful) • Romantic is NEGATIVE (harsh – doom)

  31. Music review • Test Friday – let’s make sure you remember these musical examples… • 8 Music Examples, Multiple Choice, Fill in the Blank (with a word bank), and just 2-3 short answer questions

  32. Mystery Art • Groups of 2-3 • You will be handed an artwork and a worksheet • As a group, determine if the artwork is from the Romantic Period • Fill out the worksheet as you go (will be turned in for a grade.) • We will go over the worksheet before you begin • You will get started today and finish tomorrow. • Get the worksheet done today – tomorrow you will briefly present your findings to the class
