Romanticism and Realism
Meaghan Edgerly -outline
Romanticism (1750-1850)
Flourished 1800-1840
A big contrast to Neoclassicism:
·
Art based on reason. People wanted to
find the truth.
·
And reason was the way to find truth.
·
And then it changed….
·
It was a challenge to the Enlightenment's notion
of rationality.
·
Philosophical movement at that time. They were
the rationalists.
Romanticism:
The foundation for art, music, and literature was now
emotion, drama, imagination, adventure.
•
Imagination is crucial.
•
Focuses on erotic pleasures.
•
High Drama
•
Movement
•
Bringing dreams and nightmares to the surface.
•
Idea that science was cold and alienated people
•
Poetry was the valued literature.
Henry Fuseli, The Nightmare
Express erotic fantasies through vivid imagination. The
Incubus, preying on sleeping women. Human sub-consciousness. Nightmare. “mare”
“Mara” spirit in North European mythology known to torment and suffocate people
in their sleep.
William Blake, Ancient of Days : Michelangeloesque
painting. Classical anatomy merges with inner dark dreams. “When he set a
compass upon the face of the deep” Proverbs 8:27. Blake used this painting in
his book, Europe: A Prophesy. Wisdom---TRUTH.
Francisco Goya, The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters
Goya depicted asleep with threatening creatures. Unleashing
of imagination, emotion, and nightmares.
Goya, Third of May, 1814
Lots of emotion and expression.
French invasion. Anonymous murderous French soldiers executing unarmed Spanish
peasants. Horrified expressions. Has a cruciform gestures- symbol of Christ
here.
Lots of darks and lights. Men about
to be executed. Bloody Bodies and dead people. Resistance and patriotism.
Goya, Saturn Devouring One of His Children
Saturn is associated with time.
Maybe Goya is upset over the passage of time. Saturn in Greek is Kronos, which
is similar to the word for time.
Theodorre Gericault, Raft of the Medusa, 1818-1819
Heroic and epic like Neoclassicism, yet dramatic, complex,
and emotional like Romanticism.
Music at the time expressed abstract ideas even better than art.
Compare a piece of “classical” Bach music to a “romantic” by the French
Composer, Saint Saen’s The Swan
We can see a lot more expression.
The endless pursuit of the unattainable.
There is freedom and passion felt
in this music.
Wagner was a German composer and in
his opera Die Walküre there is high drama and intesity. Compare that intensity to the art by Gericault and Delacroix.
It is very similar.
Literature: The best literature during the romanticism was poetry because it was
more expressive. Other books, such as Frankenstein, by Mary Shelly, came out.
Literature changed when the Romanticism shifted toward Realism. Books
by Charles Dickens became very popular because they focused on realistic people
and realistic situations.
Realism started to take place as reaction to Romanticism.
Due to scientific evolution and the studies of Charles
Darwin.
•
Looking at everyday people doing everyday,
ordinary things.
•
Conveying the dismal life.
•
No need for romantic heroes or dramatic scenes.

Europe and America
Outline for Art Historical Lesson

• Overarching Themes:
• America: During the years 1870–1900, American
Art was more of European art because even the works of American grown artists
such as Thomas Eakins and Winslow Homer were influenced through the foreign
arts.
• Impressionism announced the subversive power of
art, by freeing the artist to pursue his craft fearlessly and by insisting on engagement
with the real physical world.
III. A. American big Idea:
• The American artists used their own version of
“Impressionism”
• The influence of Europe’s Art initiated artist
growth and the development of museums, art schools and organizations in
America.
• Europe Big Idea: Impressionism was the first
step away from realism and towards abstraction. It followed the invention of the camera and allowed artists
freedom to move towards ideas of what is being shown and colors that are
unnaturally seen.

Starting
Activity : Get a large sheet of paper (from the rolls near the entrance of the
room) and some charcoal from the classroom drawers, have the class work
together to create a mural like the roof of the Sistine Chapel with the subject
being important things in a college student's life. Limit this to about fifteen
minutes.
Next, browse
these images of art from this time period http://collections.vam.ac.uk/search/?listing_type=imagetext&offset=0&limit=15&narrow=1&extrasearch=&q=1500-1600&commit=Search&quality=0&objectnamesearch=&placesearch=&after=&after-adbc=AD&before=&before-adbc=AD&namesearch=&materialsearch=&mnsearch=&locationsearch=
talk with
the class about commonalities found in these artworks and talk about why art
was that way during the time. Ask if there are any elements of the 16th centuries art that the
students want to incorporate into their own art. Look for inspiration.
Next, talk
about the printing press, and its affect on art. It's role in the development
of a visual culture for the average person. Before printing, most average
people only say art that was in churches or somewhere else in the public eye.
The discovery of printing was as influential (if not more so) as the discovery
of the internet.
Artistic Prompt: Choose an art piece
from the 16th century,
either from your own research or from the link that will be emailed to you on
thursday, and create your own interpretation of it.
