Music of the 20th century tivoli
Expressionist artists in early 20th century music sought to express inner emotions and experiences of being alive rather than physical reality. Key figures included Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg who was associated with the expressionist movement in Germany and developed techniques like Sprechstimme that blended singing with speech. Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, known for his painting "The Scream," was also an important expressionist artist during this period.
KANDINSKY, Wassily, Featured Paintings in Detail (1)
The document provides details on several paintings by Wassily Kandinsky, including Moscow. Red Square (1916), Blue Mountain (1908), Small Pleasures (1913), and Lady in Moscow (1912).

It also provides biographical context, noting Kandinsky's pioneering role in abstract modern art and his goal of creating spiritual, emotionally evocative paintings through non-objective forms and colors.
Impressionism and post impressionism
Impressionism originated in the late 19th century with independent exhibitions held by a group of Paris-based artists. It is characterized by visible brushstrokes, ordinary subject matter, and emphasis on the changing qualities of light. Some famous Impressionists included Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley. They wanted to show reality rather than hiding behind academic rules of perfection. Post-Impressionism emerged in response to Impressionism's limitations, extending its use of color and real-life subjects but emphasizing geometric forms and expressive distortions. Notable Post-Impressionists were Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent Van Gogh, and Georges Seurat.

Impressionism in music
Impressionism was a late 19th century art movement characterized by the use of light and color to capture immediate impressions. Claude Debussy introduced Impressionism to music by using unresolved dissonances, ambiguous forms, and vague rhythms and textures to convey feeling rather than sharply defined articulation. Debussy developed these techniques through his exposure to the Impressionist paintings of Claude Monet and by reacting against the emotionalism of Romantic music. He is considered the leading exponent of musical Impressionism.

The document discusses Claude Debussy and his role in musical modernism through challenging conventions of scales, melody, harmony, rhythm, and tone color. It describes Debussy being influenced by gamelan music he heard at the 1889 Paris International Exposition and how this inspired works like "Pagodas" which features multiple overlapping melodies in different tempos mimicking gamelan music. Additionally, it analyzes Debussy's piece "Clouds" as employing impressionistic techniques through its oscillating and repeated chords that create a blurred and floating sense of time rather than clear development or form.
Composers of impressionist music
Maurice Ravel was a French composer born in 1875 in Ciboure, France. He showed early musical talent and studied piano from a young age. Ravel furthered his musical education at the Paris Conservatory, where he composed some of his most renowned works. Ravel's compositions were impressionistic in style, evoking different moods and places through subtle yet rich harmonies. Some of his most famous works include Bolero, Daphnis et Chloé, and Pavane for a Dead Princess. Ravel was a perfectionist who refined each composition until it was complete.

This document provides biographical information on four artists:
1) František Kupka, a Czech painter who was a pioneer of abstract art and co-founder of Orphism. He developed interest in color theory and abstraction around 1910.
2) Guy Laramée, a Canadian interdisciplinary artist known for theater, music, sculpture and more. His work often explores anthropological themes.
3) Felice Varini, a Swiss artist known for site-specific geometric paintings only visible from certain angles.
4) Dia Azzawi, an Iraqi-born painter who incorporates Arabic script into his work and helped establish modern Arab art in London.
Impressionism and Post-impressionism
Impressionism began in 19th century Paris and takes its name from Claude Monet's painting "Impression, Sunrise." Impressionist paintings used small, thin brush strokes to capture light and accuracy over precision. Techniques included short, thick strokes of paint applied side-by-side with little mixing to emphasize the play of natural light. Claude Monet is seen as the father of Impressionism for his plein-air landscape paintings. Post-Impressionism emerged later and focused on conveying personal responses through strong colors and slight distortions, as seen in the works of Seurat, Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Gauguin.
Impressionism of music
This document provides information about the Impressionist movement in music and two of its key figures, Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. It describes Impressionism as a French movement from the late 19th to early 20th century that replaced the dramatic emotionalism of the Romantic period with a focus on moods and impressions through the extensive use of color, vague melodies, and innovative harmonies. It then gives biographical overviews of Debussy and Ravel, noting some of their most important and influential musical works, and describes their contributions to developing Impressionist music through new approaches to harmony, rhythm, texture and form.
Impressionist Music
Musical Impressionism formed in late 19th century France as a transition from Romantic music to 20th century modernism. The two major Impressionist composers were Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Impressionist music was characterized by subtle emotion over dramatic expression, unconventional scales and harmony, looser musical forms, and emphasis on orchestration. Important works include Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and Ravel's Daphnis & Chloe Suites and Bolero.

Tadeusz Kantor was a Polish theater director, painter, and scenographer born in 1915. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow and founded the experimental Theatre of Death in 1975. Some of his most famous productions included The Dead Class and Wielopole, Wielopole. Kantor drew influence from movements like Constructivism, Dadaism, and Informel and won numerous awards throughout his career for his avant-garde work that pushed boundaries in theater. He is still considered one of Poland's most important artists.
Post Impressionism Project
Post-Impressionism developed in the 1880s-1900s as an artistic movement that broke from the limitations of Impressionism. While still using vivid colors and brushstrokes, Post-Impressionist artists such as Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and George Seurat were more inclined to emphasize form and use unnatural color to convey emotion and personal expression over natural scenery. Each artist developed their own unique styles, such as Cezanne's reduction of objects to basic geometric shapes or van Gogh's swirling brushstrokes expressing his feelings, though they did not entirely agree on a cohesive movement.
Post impressionism
Post-Impressionism emerged in the late 1880s as younger artists rejected Impressionism's emphasis on light and color over subject matter. The term was coined by art critic Roger Fry in 1910 to describe diverse styles including Pointillism, Cloisonnism, Synthetism and others. Key figures included Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Georges Seurat, who concentrated on subjective expression over optical effects. Their works laid the foundation for later avant-garde styles like Cubism and Expressionism. Japanese woodblock prints also strongly influenced these artists through their asymmetrical designs, flat forms and emphasis on nature.
Differences between Expressionism and Impressionism
Both expressionism and impressionism emerged in the early 20th century art scene. Impressionism from 1867 to 1886 featured artists like Monet and Renoir who captured impressions of light through small brushstrokes and vibrant pure colors without harsh lines. Expressionism from 1905 to 1925 included Matisse, Munch, and Chagall, and used gestural brushstrokes, distorted subjects, and bold arbitrary colors to convey emotional expression rather than natural colors.
Impressionism, expressionism and cubism
Impressionism emerged in the late 19th century focusing on capturing fleeting moments and effects of light using short brush strokes, pure colors, and everyday subjects. Key impressionists included Monet and Renoir. Expressionism used distorted forms and exaggerated colors to convey personal feelings rather than realistic depictions, seen in works by Munch and Kandinsky. Cubism combined views of subjects into fragmented, abstracted scenes as in works by Picasso, Braque, and Filipino artists Manansala and Legaspi.
Week 2 Lecture, 20th Century
The 20th century saw immense changes in art and society. Key developments included the rise of modern art movements like Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism and German Expressionism that rejected realism and embraced abstraction. Artists like Matisse, Picasso, and Kandinsky were influenced by non-Western art and sought to express inner experiences through color, form, and symbolism. Concurrently, new technologies like photography impacted visions of modernity and the human form. These revolutionary artistic developments mirrored broader changes in Western society at the dawn of the modern era.
Expressionism
German Expressionism developed in the early 20th century as an artistic style that used distortion and exaggeration to convey emotional intensity. It drew inspiration from Van Gogh, Munch, Fauvism, and primitive art. Two major German Expressionist groups were Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter. Die Brücke aimed to break from traditional German art through woodcuts expressing personal feelings. Der Blaue Reiter was more mystical, seeing primitive art as spiritually pure. Wassily Kandinsky furthered expressionism by abandoning representation for pure abstraction using color's emotional power. Expressionism's emphasis on inner feelings influenced art globally throughout the 20th century.
