Post-Impressionism
1880-1907
Realism in France occurred around the same
time as the Revolution 0f 1848, largely due to
Courbet. This style champions socialism, which
challenges authority and privilege of the rich.
Courbet has painted an image of a funeral, a scene
of commoners carrying out a simple social ritual.
Devoid of political or philosophical agendas, Realism
can literally be described as real: simple, everyday
scenes and events.

Millet creates a scene of gleaners, who were
beggars of the time. These three women are
picking the leftovers of grain in a field after the
major harvesting (you can see the large harvest in
the wagon). At the time of its exhibition in Paris,
the people were scared of this scene. It reveals at
what cost society has to pay for such wealth for an
upper class.

Manet’s painting is considered to be the one that
turned the Parisian art world on its head, and
propelled the world into the Modern Art Era. It
might not look like much, but this image is actually
ridiculing what the traditionalists viewed as
appropriate subject matter. This is a contemporary
scene, with Parisians having lunch in a park with a
naked woman. Another woman wearing a Roman
toga plays in the water. It is obvious that this scene
would never really happen in real life, and that’s the
message Manet was after. He also painted it with
bold, thick strokes of color.

Degas developed a painterly approach to his
everyday scenes as Manet had. His compositions
appear off-centered, and elements are cut-off on
the edges, much like a photograph would crop a
scene. This is unusual in painting at the time, and
creates a image of spontaneity, as a snap-shot does.

Realism in Painting
In part due to the impact of photography, the Realist painters wanted to branch
away from fantastic or Romanticized representation of life and nature and
instead strove to depict real-life events with real-life detail.
Realists tried to move away from their own feelings and ideas and instead
represent life as it actually was – not filtered through just one person’s
understanding or emotion. They wanted to represent life without any
embellishments and this meant even dealing with its ugly, dirty, or low sides.
Ultimately, they aimed for objective rather than subjective representation.
They were also concerned with contemporary events – with the here and now
rather than some romanticized past or utopian future.
The subject matter consists almost exclusively of the lower classes and rural poor.
Realists tried to convey the idea that ordinary people in modern times, not
archaic gods or kings and queens, were the proper subject for modern art.
The Realists also generally refused to use traditional iconography in their
paintings, such as Biblical allusions, mythological subjects, or complex symbols.
Gustave Courbet (1819-1877)
Courbet was one of the leading figures in this shift away from Romantic,
sublime, and idealized art toward a more true-to-life style in painting. He,
like most Realists, was also a social activist on the side of the working classes.
What follows are a few quotes from Courbet that reveal his new approach to
painting and which reinforce the characteristics on the previous slide:
“To be able to translate the customs, ideas, and appearances of my time as I
see them – in a word, to create a living art this has been my aim…”
“The art of painting can consist only in the representation of objects visible
and tangible to the painter…[who must apply] his personal faculties to the
ideas and the things of the period in which he lives…”
“I hold also that painting is an essentially concrete art, and can consist only
of the representation of things both real and existing…An abstract object,
invisible or nonexistent, does not belong to the domain of painting”
“A painter should paint only what he can see.” When asked why he never
painted angels, Courbet replied, “Show me an angel, and I’ll paint one.”
Courbet
Self-Portrait
1848
Here is Courbet’s self-portrait. You can tell he
has not tried to create an idealized image of
himself or an overly sentimental image either. It
is simply what he sees in the mirror – for better
or for worse!

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
Manet, the realist, eventually became an Impressionists. Hey, don’t confuse Manet with Monet. Manet organized an exhibition of Les Refusees, or The Refused One. He was very influential in bringing the style of the Impressionists to the public eye.
If someone told you today, your art looks like the Impressionists’ you’d probably say THANK YOU. But it actually started out as an insult.. .the famous art critic Louis Leroy skewered Monet’s Sunrise painting, saying it looked like an Impression of a Painting and that too bad Monet couldn’t actually finish the artwork. Well, the name stuck… because they WERE trying to capture a moment. Ironically, today it is one of the best known movements in Western art.
Although today this style of painting is very familiar to us, at the time it was very avant-garde and breaking with tradition. The impressionists were greatly influence by the Japanese ukioye prints, and could care less about religion, mythology, or history. Impressionism was all about the moment; contemporary life of the middle class and the down-and-outs, or capturing a moment.
Monet painted the same subjects at different times of day, to capture those effects of light that pass so quickly. With the invention of the oil paint tube, the impressionists could go outdoors and paint easily, or even take a train to the country side to paint.
Monet’s friend Renoir also captured the fleeting effects of light. Renoir was the most famous figure painter of the Impressionists. He did spontaneous paintings from live models, with loose, fast impasto paint, like we see here with a group of friends eating lunch along the Seine river in Paris.
Renoir’s paintings feel very spontaneous and lively paintings; he often painted middle class Parisians enjoying leisure time. The Impressionists got away from stiff, posed portraits and into a loose and free style.
Edgar Degas was the exception to painting out doors; he focused on ballet dancers and performers, as did Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. Degas worked in both pastels and oils, and was highly influenced by Japanese prints that were popular at the time.
But a female Impressionist did the best job of all at capturing the theme of the mother and child. Mary Cassatt did hundreds of paintings, prints, and pastel drawings of women and children, in a very natural style that families can relate to. However, she did more than paint domestic scenes; she was hugely influential in bringing the French Impressionists to the U.S. to exhibit. Unlike in Europe, their paintings were VERY popular and still draw huge crowds in US museums today.
Like the French Impressionists, Cassatt loved the clean lines and patterns of Japanese woodblock prints, as shown in this print of a mom getting the baby out of the bathtub.
Yet Impressionism was soon taken to the next level by a group of artists
Artist: Hiroshige Title: Plum Orchard, Kameido Medium: Woodblock print Size: 13¼ X 8 ⅝ X (33.6 X 47 cm) Date: 1857 Source/ Museum: From One Hundred Famous Views of Edo / The Brooklyn Museum, New York
Van Gogh filtered reality through his “temperament”, with expressive lines, vibrant colors, and impasto brushwork. Though he did not gain popularity in his lifetime, today he is one of the most recognized Western artists. A
Cezanne emphasized form and structure with simplified landscapes with geometric shapes and pure colors. You look at the sapce, but don’t enter it. Did not use traditional perspective, simply color.
Cezanne also began to play with the rules of perspective and tilted our vision a bit. But Seurat would truly go deep into structure and color with his pointillism paintings.
Very different from Impressionism ’ s informal, seemingly accidental quality, pointillism is intellectual and scientific with applying uniform sized dots in different colors. Seurat studied ancient Egyptian art and talked about the procession of life.
Gauguin went to Tahiti in search of paradise, and maybe he found it. He worked in a style that was known as primitivism or symbolism. He incorporated Tahitian gods and symbols of the cycle of life in somewhat unreal settings like this one.
The Art Deco/Art Nouveau style emerged at the turn of the century in Vienna and elsewhere. The emphasis was on decorative patterns rather than realistic modeling of forms. Klimt’s famous painting The Kiss epitomizes this style.
In the decorative arts, many artists and artisans rebelled against the mass production of the Industrial Revolution. William Morris started the Arts and Crafts movement, that returned to handmade tapestries and simple wood furniture with clean lines. This style still continues today, though ironically mass-produced in China and sold at places like Target and Home Depot.
Artist: Auguste Rodin Title: Burghers of Calais Medium: Bronze Size: 6'10½" X 7'11" X 6'6" (2.1 X 2.4 X 2 m) Date: 1884–89 Source/ Museum: Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn, 1966
Louis Sullivan pioneered the development of modern architecture, with bulidings such as The Wainwright Building. The invention of the elevator by Otis allowed high buildings, along with the use of steel infrastructure. Sullivan told us that “Form follows function,” and his style still continues in today’s cities.
