Abstract art developed in the late 19th century as artists felt a need for a new art form that reflected the fundamental changes in technology, science, and philosophy. It uses forms, colors, and lines instead of attempting to represent recognizable reality. In the 20th century, several movements contributed to abstract art becoming more removed from visual references, including Romanticism, Impressionism, and Expressionism. Artists like Kandinsky and Mondrian were also influenced by Eastern and occult philosophies. During this time, abstract art developed in Russia, Germany, France, and the United States. It became an international art movement as artists fled Europe during World War II and spread abstract styles around the world.

This document discusses Post-Impressionism in Europe in the late 19th century. It describes two main trends: Scientific Post-Impressionism exemplified by Seurat and Cézanne, and Lyrical Post-Impressionism represented by Gauguin and Van Gogh. Seurat developed a technique called Pointillism based on new scientific theories of color and vision, applying small dots of pure color that were meant to optically mix in the viewer's eye. His most famous work, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, exemplifies this technique and took over two years to complete.
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was a French post-Impressionist painter who initially had a career as a stockbroker before becoming a full-time artist in his late 30s.

Gauguin spent time in Brittany in the 1880s where he was inspired by medieval and primitive art and produced works with broad fields of color expressing transcendent visions. He had a brief collaboration with Vincent van Gogh in Arles but their partnership ended abruptly. Gauguin then traveled to Tahiti in search of a primitive paradise in 1891 and again in 1895, where he spent the

Georges Seurat was a French post-impressionist painter born in 1859 who developed the style of pointillism. He studied color theories and spent his career moving away from impressionism towards a more structured technique using science and dots of color. His most famous work Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte from 1886, currently located at the Art Institute of Chicago, was his breakthrough piece that established his pointillist style which uses dots of paint that blend together in the viewer's eye. Seurat's innovative technique changed the course of impressionism and made him one of the most important post-impressionist artists.
Impressionism focused on capturing fleeting moments and effects of light with short, visible brush strokes of bright colors. It originated in France in the mid-1800s and was practiced by artists like Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh. Post-Impressionism both extended and rejected Impressionism by using vivid colors, heavy brushwork, and true-to-life subjects but also geometric forms and distorted shapes.
Expressionism used distorted forms and exaggerated colors to represent inner emotions, developed in early 1900s Europe by artists including Munch, Picasso, and Matisse who employed heavy black lines and
The document discusses various art movements from the 1860s to the 1970s including Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Op Art, and Pop Art. It provides examples of influential artists and their works from each movement such as Monet's Sunrise, Munch's The Scream, Picasso's Girl with a Mandolin, Duchamp's Fountain, Ernst's The Elephant Celebes, Vasarely's Painting Zebras, Delaunay's Windows Open Simultaneously, and Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans. The movements experimented with different styles, subjects, and philosophies including using emotion over realism, irrational
Modern Art Movements (by Ar Kush Jee Kamal)Kush Jee Kamal
Modern art includes artistic work produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s and denotes the styles and philosophy of the art produced during that era. The term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation.
It's a chronological compilation of 100 years of Art movements by Ar. Kush Jee Kamal (India) for the benefits of all the art lovers.
Impressionism emerged in the late 1800s as a style of painting that emphasized capturing an artist's immediate impression of a scene through the use of light, brushstrokes, and color separation. While controversial at first for its unfinished appearance, it grew in popularity for its depictions of modern life. Post-Impressionism developed in the 1880s as artists diverged from Impressionism's focus on light, instead emphasizing personal expression and symbolic meanings over realistic depictions. Notable Post-Impressionist works like Van Gogh's Starry Night and Cézanne's Mont Sainte Victoire explored bolder uses of color and form.
The document summarizes several major art movements from Neo-Classicism to Cubism. It discusses prominent artists from each movement such as Jacques-Louis David for Neo-Classicism, Eugene Delacroix for Romanticism, Gustave Courbet for Realism, Claude Monet for Impressionism, and Pablo Picasso for Cubism. Each movement is characterized and the document provides examples of important works from representative artists.
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was a post-Impressionist painter known for his unique, colorful style of expressionistic brushwork. He was mostly self-taught and drew inspiration from Millet prints. Throughout his life he struggled with mental illness and poverty. His early works used dark colors in a Realist style, while his later works featured brighter expressionsitic landscapes, still lifes and portraits characterized by bold colors. Though misunderstood in his time, he maintained correspondence with his brother Theo, who supported him financially. After years of illness, he died by suicide at age 37.

This document provides a tutorial on how to read and analyze a visual image. It discusses the key elements to describe such as the title, date, size and materials used. It suggests describing the genre, figures, and their location in the foreground, middle ground or background. Style elements are also important like use of light, color, forms, lines and shapes. Conclusions should consider the context for why the image was created such as the occasion, patrons, aims, and reactions from contemporaries. The overall goal is to organize observations about the image's key details, descriptions, style, and context in a clear manner.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Editor's Notes
This lesson will deal with the first P. trend: pointillism
I shall discuss about these keywords
They refer to different aspects:
Postimpressionism = Movement (coined in 1910 by Roger Fry)
Neo-Impressionism = style. Term coined by Seurat
C-L and Pointillism = technique to depict light and shapes
Scientific-Impressionism = approach
This complex painting technique recreated something of the impression of vibrations produced by sunlight
George Pierre Seurat was born in 1859 in Paris.
S. Is credited with the invention of Neo-Impressionism = he attempted to apply aspects of color theory and the psychology of perception to his landscapes and genre scenes.
The technique is known as chromoluminarism and pointillism to depict light and shapes.
He moved away from the rapidity of Impressionism and developed a structured, monumental art, to depict modern urban life.
He made sketches in the open air, in order then to paint the burlap (= rough cloth= iuta) completely in his studio.
Subjects: he painted scenes of leisure and suburban life including bathers, anglers and people promenading.
Angler = pescatore
Bathers at Asnières = transitional work, where modern techniques are used to represent the typical Impressionist theme in a large size and classical composition. The jury of the 1884 Salon refused it!
Seurat's artistic personality was compounded of qualities which are usually supposed to be opposed and incompàtible: on the one hand, his extreme and delicate sensibility; on the other, a passion for logical abstraction and an almost mathematical precision of mind.
Seurat studied how colours interact each other, developing his technique in 1885-6.
During this period he was attracted by the scenes of the harbor, but he said: ”People say they see poetry in my art. I see only science”
He united art and science creating a style which he called SCIENTIFIC IMPRESSIONISM. This technique was thought as the means to translate the effects of light and colour in nature, and as a scientific solution to the problem of colour and vision, of representing light and colours in contrast with the solutions adopted by Monet and the Impressionists (the empirical methods).
The dot (= point of color) was the means that seemed best able to control the qualities of each color.
Seurat and his contemporaries stated that these dots were meant to reproduce an optical mixture of colors blending in the eye (or rather in the mind) without loosing in intensity and luminosity. This is not exactly what takes place, because these points are not small enough to fuse and to reproduce a single color, BUT this complex technique aimed at recreated something of the impression of vibrations (shimmering effects) produced by sunlight.
The painter stated that the optimum distance was three times the diagonal measurement of any paintings (but the effect of the canvas is that the dots remain clearly visible as dots).
I’ll give a summary of / summarize …
He studied the laws of Chevreul regarding contrasting colors: he supported in fact that no color is purely visible by himself and it evokes something of its opposite. (= law of simultaneous contrast). E.g. red is the opposite of green
WORQX: DESIGN, RESOURCES AND TUTORIALS – COLOUR: http://www.worqx.com/color/color_basics.htm
Additive color is a method to create color by mixing different light colors
A subtractive color model explains the mixing of a set of paint pigments to create a wider range of colors
The HSB scheme. Three main characteristics can define color:
1. the hue is the color itself in its different variations.
2. the saturation is the purity of the colour. It refers to the amount of color that distances it from the gray = the s. is the intensity, or level of chroma, of a color. The more gray a color has in it, the less chroma it has.
3. the brightness refers to the amount of black or white in the color. = luminosity. (for instance: when brightness increases saturation decreases)
In his best-known and largest painting, Georges Seurat depicted people relaxing in a suburban park on an island in the Seine River called La Grande Jatte.
Before listening to the video I’d like you to consider some aspects.
The subject: he focuses his attention on street life images and on indoor scenes as well.
He wanted to be modern, obtaining effects of brilliance.
He wanted to analyze a mood, a social phenomenon.
The artist worked on the painting in several campaigns, beginning in 1884 with a layer (= something that covers a surface, or something that is between two things) of small horizontal brushstrokes of complementary colors. He later added small dots, also in complementary colors, that appear as solid and luminous forms when seen from a distance. Seurat’s use of this highly systematic and "scientific" technique, subsequently called Pointillism, distinguished his art from the more intuitive approach to painting used by the Impressionists.
Although Seurat embraced the subject matter of modern life preferred by artists such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, he went beyond their concern for capturing the accidental and instantaneous qualities of light in nature. Seurat sought to evoke permanence by recalling the art of the past, especially Egyptian and Greek sculpture and even Italian Renaissance frescoes.
As he explained to the French poet Gustave Kahn, "The Panathenaeans of Phidias formed a procession. I want to make modern people, in their essential traits, move about as they do on those friezes, and place them on canvases organized by harmonies of color."
Some contemporary critics, however, found his figures to be less a nod to (= allusion) earlier art history than a commentary on the posturing and artificiality of modern Parisian society.
Seurat made the final changes to La Grande Jatte in 1889. He restretched the canvas in order to add a painted border of red, orange, and blue dots that provides a visual transition between the interior of the painting and his specially designed white frame.

Academic training: at the age of 17 he was taught to paint by a pupil of Ingres, Henri Lehman, at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris + in the Louvre he studied early Italian and 17th-century French artists and the classical statues as well.
He admired Piero della Francesca (intellectual precision and equilibrium ), Pisano and Ghiberti (dramatic atmosphere) and Poussin (classicism in landscape).
He copied the Parthenon friezes and those of Egypt, admiring their idealization (representation in profile and for flat forms).
He studied modern techniques (Impressionism) and applied optical theories of colour relationships.
enduring art (and not impression) in a classical style, with a modern subject.
Art, for him, is not in what we see, but in how we see.
Preparatory studies, for up to a year, before the final painting
His drawings in black and white are particularly concerned with light and three-dimensional forms: Light creates depth, roundness
light comes from a precise source and seems to come out of the paper.
Some contemporary critics, however, found his figures to be less a nod to (= allusion) earlier art history than a commentary on the posturing and artificiality of modern Parisian society.
Unromantic vision of modern life / loneliness = the main element of reality.
He visited Fontainbleu and the village of Barbizon. He admired Millet = profound understanding of the dignity of labour (= solid figures and classicism in landscape) together with his mastery of drawing.
Topics = Life of working people /working people at leisure. Street life images and indoor scenes as well
Style = enduring life and no impressions. Art, for him, is not in what we see, but in how we see.
Aim = to analyze a mood, a social phenomenon. He wanted to be modern, obtaining effects of brilliance.
The only spontaneous figures in the painting are the children playing, the animals (dogs and a monkey at a leash) and the man lying (reclining) on the grass with his naked arms
