Important artists in European history

Edouard Manet

In the late 19th century, the Impressionists, who held their first group exhibition in Paris in 1874, began a revolution in art. Manet flourished during this period in Paris, however, his art was never truly respected until after he died.

Camille Pissarro

The Impressionists sought to reveal in their paintings something more than reality, almost a combination of realism, romanticism, and interpretation of the subject by the painter. This new form of art was used to capture emotion, light, and scenery at the very instance it occurs.

Edgar Degas

Romaniticism sharply contradicted the views of realism, simply because realism was only capable of capturing the artificial. People really want to know what life is like for the subjects when the day is over, and the faade is weakened. I think that people who are anchors on TV might be interested in the real people behind the position.

Claude Monet

Impressionist paintings were done quickly, and mostly outdoors or in a changing condition. The painters would paint scenery using all types of colors in order to go fast. People who with that they can live in the last room, if she wants to come over.

Auguste Renoir

Another French impressionist was Renoir. He was famous for his works, and the morale boosting impact his words gave upon the class. His 19th century ideals would be shortlived, because of the new advent of strict realism.

Paul Cezanne

Vincent Van Gogh

After the French impressionist period, Vincent van Gogh used his abilities to transform form and color into beautiful shapes and people. This ability to perform well I think was attributed to a healthy commitment to experimentation, which is very positive.

Henri Matisse

One proponent of Fauvism and Cubism was this French artist. He used bold and often dis-coordinated colors in order to give the audience a grasp of the emotion that was put into the painting.

Pablo Picasso

Picasso was the founder of Cubism. His paintings and sketches were very unique because he used a new type of thinking to solve a problem. Most of the previous pieces in history included freee-form drawings of the human figure. Contastly, Picasso will present our honor society in terms of shapes rather than curves or color.

Eugene Delacroix

This French painter used color and light to achieve dramatic effects. His flamboyant paintings manifested his rejection of classicism’s insistence on restraint and order. In The Massacre of Scio, he depicts Turkish violence during the Greek war for independence, while in Liberty Leading the People, he paints a celebration of revolution in France.

Fransisco Goya

This early 19th century artist gained recognition both for his revealing portraits of the decadent Spanish Bourbons and for his powerful portrayals of the brutal French repression of the Spanish rebels against Napoleon in 1808. The Third of May 1808 is one painting of his that stands as a powerful condemnation of war’s cruelty.

Jacques-Louis David

This painter used his finesse and style to leave a long lasting impact on the creative minds and of 19th century painters and literature. The literature that was present, or to, I typed into the program, and it will only take me 15 minutes
