He is most famous for inventing the mobile, a kinetic art form consisting of abstract shapes suspended from wires that move with air currents. After studying engineering, Calder began attending art school in New York in 1923 and created miniature circuses that fascinated him, leading to his interest in kinetic art and mobiles. He lived in Connecticut for most of his life, creating colorful abstract mobiles and sculptures until his death in 1976.
Cubism 1
Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. Inspired by developments in science and technology, as well as non-Western art, Cubism depicted subjects from multiple perspectives to represent four-dimensional reality on a two-dimensional surface. Pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Cubist works featured geometric shapes and abstracted forms rather than realistic renderings. Other notable Cubists included Fernand Léger, Juan Gris, and Jean Metzinger. Cubism opened the door for later abstract art movements and changed the course of modern visual art.
The picture of Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde was an Irish poet and playwright born in 1854 who studied at Trinity College Dublin and Oxford University. He is remembered for his epigrams, plays like The Importance of Being Earnest, and novels such as The Picture of Dorian Gray. Wilde was accused of homosexuality, which was illegal at the time, and died in poverty in 1900. The document provides biographical details on Wilde and contextualizes his works and lifestyle within the Aesthetic Movement in Victorian England during the late 19th century.
Modernism
The document discusses how modern art movements in the early 20th century, such as Cubism and Expressionism, influenced graphic design. It describes Pablo Picasso's Cubist works which analyzed subjects from multiple viewpoints using geometric planes. Cubism challenged Renaissance traditions and its emphasis on shapes influenced graphic composition. Expressionist works exaggerated color and proportion to depict subjective emotions. Both styles influenced graphic illustration and poster art by emphasizing social and political messages.
Fauvism
Fauvism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement known for its use of vibrant, non-naturalistic colors and bold brushwork. Led by Henri Matisse, the Fauves sought to reject traditional perspective and depict their emotional response to nature through expressive color. Key Fauvist artists included Matisse, Andre Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, and their works were characterized by simplified forms and strident hues directly applied from the paint tube. While the movement was brief, from 1904-1908, it had a significant influence on the development of modern art through its radical approach to color.
Lecture Notes
Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. Developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque between 1907-1914, Cubism depicted subjects from multiple viewpoints to represent three-dimensional forms on a two-dimensional surface. It featured geometric planes and monochromatic colors to focus attention on the subject's form rather than atmosphere or lighting. Later, collage and mixed media were incorporated, known as Synthetic Cubism. Cubism influenced many later art movements and had widespread effects on literature, architecture and design.
Georgia senor center
Georgia O'Keeffe was an American artist known for her paintings of flowers, landscapes, and cityscapes. She pioneered abstract painting in the early 20th century, creating non-representational works using only shapes, colors, and forms as early as 1915. Her early abstract paintings were prominently displayed by her husband Arthur Stieglitz at his 291 gallery, exposing the American public to this new style of art. O'Keeffe was influenced by Arthur Wesley Dow's principles of composition and abstraction, and she credited Arthur Dove as having the most significant impact on her development as a young artist moving her style towards abstraction.
Mapeh expressionism
Expressionist art arose in the early 1900s as a movement where artists expressed more emotion through exaggerated forms and strong colors rather than realistic images. Several styles developed within expressionism including neoprimitivism, fauvism, dadaism, surrealism, and social realism. Neoprimitivism incorporated elements from indigenous arts, fauvism used bold colors and distortions, and dadaism had dream-like qualities and visual tricks to protest World War I. Surrealism depicted dream worlds beyond reality, and social realism used art to protest social issues and push for reform. Pablo Picasso's monumental painting Guernica combined elements of expressionism and emerging cubism to condemn the
Cubism
Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. Led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Cubism was characterized by the geometric fragmentation and multiple perspectives of subjects depicted. It featured geometric forms, 3D distortions, and overlapping views to represent subjects from various angles simultaneously in a single image. Cubism influenced many later artistic movements and had widespread impact on art and culture.
Chapter 10 picturing the waste land - western europe during world war i
The Cabaret Voltaire opened in Zurich in 1916, launching the art movement known as Dada. Founded by Hugo Ball and Emmy Hennings, it attracted diverse artists and hosted performances of works rejecting logic and rationality in response to World War I. Dada soon spread to other cities and focused on nonsensical happenings and works incorporating chance to subvert artistic norms. Figures like Marcel Duchamp, Hans Arp, and Francis Picabia created readymades and works embracing happenstance that challenged definitions of art. Dada marked a revolutionary beginning of conceptual art and influence on subsequent avant-garde movements.

Frederick Brown is an American artist born in 1945 who was influenced by jazz music. He established a studio in New York's Soho district in the 1970s where he collaborated with jazz musicians like Ornette Coleman. Brown's paintings from that time were large, bold abstractions that drew on his interests in music, urban life, and spirituality. He believes that art is a religious experience that comes through the artist, not from them. The document provides background information on various American and international portrait artists like Andy Warhol, Tamara de Lempicka, and Diego Rivera along with images of some of their self-portrait works.

Sarah Tucker
Sarah Tucker has been working with batik techniques for over 30 years, using wax and Procion dyes on cotton and paper. She finds inspiration in landscapes, especially the fluidity of water contrasted with solid rock formations. For her batik art, Sarah works from photographs taken on walking holidays, abstracting the essence of the views by noting light and shade effects.

From Post-Impressionism Paul Henry took a blunt and uncompromising approach to the formal challenges of landscape painting He simplified shapes and textures, reducing the visible world to its bare necessities
- 5. Influences • Influenced by Jean Francois Millet • Barbizon School - part of an art movement towards Realism • From Millet, Paul Henry borrowed an interest in humble rural life, and a close study of farmers and peasant women

- 8. Belfast exhibition 1911 • ‘The Watcher’ 1911 • "... You will look through this exhibition in vain for the 'sweetly pretty' Ireland of the popular illustrators, for the chocolate-box colleen or the cardriver with his budget of comic stories. In place of the glamour of false romance you get the veracity of the thing seen; sentimentalism gives way to stark sincerity". (“The Northern Whig”)
- 9. Launching the Curragh 1911 • Paul Henry was deeply moved by the harshness of life on Achill Island, both the living conditions and the hardness of the economic life. ..."the people cling with pathetic heroism to their holdings with a dumb ferocity of affection. Existence [for many of them] would be simply impossible were it not for the money coming in from [relatives in] America".
- 10. Landscapes • In later years Paul Henry moved from painting people to landscapes without any figures in them • One suggestion for this is that the women of Achill did not want to be sketched by Paul Henry, at least, did not want to be portrayed in the manner that he wanted • Paul Henry castigated the young girls on Achill for turning up to model for him wearing modern silk stockings and high heeled shoes, rather than barefoot and in the everyday clothes handed down to them by their grandmothers. (Mary Cosgrave)

- 13. A Connemara Village An example of the later landscapes of Paul Henry Painted in 1934
- 14. Paul Henry’s legacy • Paul Henry became internationally renowned • Many of his paintings were reproduced as posters or prints • Ironic that his paintings were used to promote tourism in the West of Ireland when he was actually distressed about the impact of tourism on Achill Island • His pictorial naturalism continues to represent a vision of Ireland that many people regard as truly authentic. • Paul Henry died in 1958
