How Did Photography Influenced The History And The Development Of Contemporary Painting?

Impressionism, in contrast, strove not to capture the toils of society in a moralistic setting like Realism did, but to evoke a general mood in the viewer. Painting was transformed from the idea of capturing a moment on canvas to creating a moment on canvas; painting was reduced to its own surface, “no longer transparent means but opaque ends” (Schneider 43). This was exemplified by Manet’s own ideas of painting not as “sight” but as “insight” into the human condition, driven by an artist’s intuition. Manet and the impressionists began painting en plein air, outdoors in the fresh air where they were closer to their subjects and captured the light of fleeting moments like sunrises and sunsets with quick brushstrokes intended to evoke general mood in the viewer based on the capture of light and tones in the painting, leading to the namesake “impression” left by the movement.

The Early vs. the High Renaissance - I've decided to go with Piero Della - Francesca Battista Sforza and Frederico Da Montefeltro vs. Raphael Agnelo Doni and Maddalena Strozzi. Paintings. Despite their many differences, there are also some similarities between the portraits made by these two artists. Discussing pg. 620 (20-31) Piero Della Francesca Battista Sforza and his wife and Frederico Da Montefeltro, an Italian artist during the Early Renaissance, Fifteenth Century in Uffizi, Florence. The artist showed the small panels that resembles Flemish painting in their detail luminosity, their record of surface and texture, and their vast landscapes. as mentioned on page (620) the reason why they are turned side ways is due to male in the portrait

In History, artistic achievements have represented cultural advancements in civilized society. The artist’s ability to express themselves on a surface plane has progressed immensely from the prehistoric era through the present. At one time, techniques were so primitive, simple handheld figures and tools were all artisans had the ability to craft. However, Mesopotamian and Greek and Hellenistic Art specifically, modernized the techniques and boundaries of sculpture and figurative art. As time goes on, an artist's ability to express themselves within their art has progressed.

It was the year 1839 and French painter Paul Delaroche, having witnessed the birth of photography, ostensibly declared painting deceased (Batchen 2001, 129; Mirzoeff 2009, 63). Eighty-two years later in 1921, Russian artist Alexander Rodchenko after exhibiting his triptych of the three primary colours Pure Red Colour, Pure Yellow Colour, Pure Blue Colour (1921), stated factually that he had “reduced painting to its logical conclusion” thus killing painting once more (Rfya 2002, 209). Painting suffered yet another obituary in the 1960s when Minimalist Donald Judd, a painter turned sculptor, decreed “It looks like painting is finished” (Obendorf 2009, 31). However, despite the various undertakers of the art world within the last one-hundred and eighty years endeavouring to irrefutably bury painting, painting refuses to die.

Van Gogh`s paintings are a tremendous contribution to the development of art. Inspired by bright colors, he painted and painted which had a turning point and have been duplicated many times by many experts whereas never reaching the emotional typically intensity of Van Gogh`s.

Throughout time there has been of course many influences that have impacted the art world and have made it what it is today. However, there are some artistic movements that have had a greater impact and stand out over others. The movement that has always personally stood out to me was Ancient Egyptian art. The works that were produced for time period are interesting in terms of the lack of tools and the innovation to make these paintings, sculptures, and architecture that almost seem impossible to have been constructed. In my opinion the arts produced during the Early Dynastic through the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt are some of the most technologically advance forms that stand out over all other art forms for the time

Photographers involved in this technique look at photography as more of a true artistic impression than as anything else. The argument compares an artist using brush, paint and canvas to create a work of art, while the photographers use a camera, film to do the same.They see the camera as a tool, like a paint brush that is used in the creation of art.

Alberti makes it clear that he is not concerned with painting’s origins, even though he briefly discusses them. Subsequently, the author uses old writings as reference to strengthen his point of view on how highly painting is esteemed above other “crafts” history. It is therefore clear that the author believes painting to be somewhat in metaphysical nature, something beyond the ordinary.

The role of colour in paintings had a major change with the advent of Post Impressionism. Colour changed from the traditional Neo-classicists methods to artists such as Seurat the Post-impressionist artist who was obsessed with the science behind art. . The main concepts I am discussing in terms of how the role of colour has changed are: the traditional role of colour, what made artists change their focus, science discoveries about light, optics and the difference between the colour use in the two styles; Neoclassicism and Post- Impressionism. Using Wolfflins model of interpretation I will compare the two uses of colour in Jacques Lois David’s “The Coronation of the Emperor and Empress” and Georges Seurat’s “The Circus”.

During the 19th century, the act of painting was revolutionized by the development of the paint-tube. This innovation allowed artists to make their craft portable, which allowed them to work outside studios in natural settings. The trend towards on-the-go painting subsequently sparked rapidity in painting. Impressionist art is characterized by quick brushstrokes, applied hurriedly and without previous study. Impressionists were concerned with capturing “the moment,” or capturing fleeting natural phenomena like light glistening on water or peaking out from behind a cliff. Thus, in order to capture such moments, Impressionist painters needed to paint quickly to stay true to whatever vision they were capturing, before it disappeared with a shift

The Birth of Photography caused a paradigm shift of Arts and Drawing in particular. Artists, among those who we could mention Matisse, Picasso , Chillida , Warhol or Gego , researched and experienced other ways of approaching drawing.

There is no denying that art has been constantly redefined throughout history. Art has consistently been catered to fit what society wants and needs it to be, from realism to abstract and idealized Greek statues to intricate cathedral ceilings. However the Impressionist Movement of the 19th century brought a whole new dimension to the art community. Oscar-Claude Monet, a founders of the Impressionism, used his art to not only showcase a subject but to present it in a way that was completely extraordinary. Surrendering harsh lines and distinct shapes, Monet used brush textures and contrasting color palettes to open up a whole other perspective with which to observe the world. Monet commandeered these distinct techniques in his efforts to focus on the illustration of light effects on his subjects. This can be seen in his piece, The Rouen Cathedral, Façade (Sunset), Harmonie in Gold and Blue.

The exhibition focuses on the relationship between painting and photography, the largely experimental period in which this developed coincided with the founding of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Paintings by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais and John Singer Sargent are included (and personally i believe they are the highlights of the exhibition) are shown side by side with the photos they inspired and of subjects they drew inspiration from.

Although Sargent was creating and studying art during the 19th century art movement of Impressionism, his art did not reflect this exposure, apart from some of his early works, and it is not generally considered Impressionist; nevertheless, certain of his artistic elements do show that there was some effect on his style from the artists of his time. One such characteristic of the Impressionist movement is Sargent’s compositional arrangements that are somewhat candid. Additionally, a prominent feature of Sargent’s art is his fascination with and masterful handling of light. Light was one of the principles that was of greatest importance in Impressionist art, and their art was “in reaction to the reflex of light, either real or imaginary.” This definition of one of the aesthetic principles of Impressionism truly encapsulates the work of Sargent, for, even in his earliest art, his attention to light, its source – real or fairly
