Chapter 21 notes ❖ The Modern World: 1800–1945 ➢ Driven by technological progress and characterized by rapid change, the 19th century gave birth to our industrialized middle-class culture of mass production, mass advertising, and mass consumption, including the mass consumption of leisure activities such as shopping, going to entertainment, and visiting art museums. ➢ Art museums developed in the 19th century, and the first national museum was the Louvre in Paris. Art Museum Louvre in Paris

❖ Neoclassicism and Romanticism ➢ Neoclassical style emerged in the 18th century, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art. It emphasizes simplicity, order, and classical aesthetics in various forms of artistic expression, including architecture, art, and literature. ➢ Neoclassicists felt that great art could only be made from great subject matter like history and the bible. ★ Neoclassicism:- characterized by clear contours, clean colors, and precise draftsmanship. Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Jupiter and Thetis. ★ Neoclassical Artists examples are Jaques-Louis David and Jean Auguste-Dominique Ingres ➢ Romantic artists were driven by a desire against the “Age of Reason” and to explore emotions, individual expression, and the sublime in their works.

➢ Romantic artists gloried in such subjects as mysterious or awe-inspiring landscapes, picturesque ruins, extreme or tumultuous events and the struggle for liberty, and scenes of exotic cultures. ★ Romanticism:- urged using imagination, emotions, intuition, and individual experience in artwork. Eugène Delacroix. The Women of Algiers. 1834. ★ Examples of romanticist artists are Delacroix and Goya.

❖ Realism ➢ Realism:- the reaction against Neoclassicism and Romanticism. Sought to depict the everyday and ordinary for their subjects. Also, the first movement was born in the 19th century. ➢ Their works unmasked the true lives of the middle and lower classes for art viewers. Honoré Daumier. Rue Transnonain. 1834. Lithograph, 11 ¼ × 17 ⅜". ★ An example of a Realism artist is Gustave Courbet ❖ Manet and Impressionism ➢ In 19th-century France, the mark of an artist’s success was acceptance at the annual Salon.

➢ In 1863, the Salon jury rejected almost three thousand of the submitted works, which caused such an uproar among the spurned artists and their supporters that a second official exhibition was mounted: the “Salon des Refusés.” Édouard Manet. Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe. 1863. Oil on canvas, 7' × 8' 10" ★ Manet's two goals are to paint modern life and update two Renaissance images as parodies. ❖ Impressionism:- aimed to capture the impression. Artists did not want to portray a literal landscape but the sensation of a landscape. ➢ It is characterized by its focus on capturing fleeting impressions of light, color, and atmosphere in a spontaneous and subjective manner. ➢ Impressionist painters sought to depict the changing effects of natural light and the transient qualities of their subjects.
