Artist of 20 Century

th

art Movement
 Bythe 1870s, the stage was set for the
emergence of the next major art
movement in Europe, impressionism. It
started with a group of French painters—
that included Edouard Manet, Claude
Monet, Auguste Renoir—and eventually
spread to other countries, such as Italy,
Germany, and The Netherlands.

 EDOUARD MANET

was one of the first 19th century
artists to depict modern-life subjects.
He was a key figure in the transition
from realism to
impressionism, with a number of his
works considered as marking the birth
of modern art.

 Auguste Renoir
(1841-1919)
along with Claude Monet, was one of the
central figures of the impressionist
movement. His early works were snapshots
of real life, full of sparkling color and light.
By the mid-1880s, however, Renoir broke
away from
the impressionist movement to apply a more
disciplined, formal technique to portraits of
actual people and figure paintings.

 After the brief yet highly influential period of
impressionism, an outgrowth movement known as
POST-IMPRESSIONISM emerged. The European
artists who were at the forefront of this movement
continued using the basic qualities of the
impressionists before them—the vivid colors, heavy
brush strokes, and true-to-life subjects. However, they
expanded and experimented with these in bold new
ways,like using a geometric approach, fragmenting
objects and distorting people’s faces and body parts,
and applying colors that were not necessarily realistic
or natural. Two of the foremost post-impressionists
were Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh.

(1839–1906)
 Paul Cézanne
(1839–1906)
was a French artist and post-impressionist
painter. His work exemplified the
transition from late 19th-century
impressionism to a new and radically
different world of art in the 20th century—
paving the way for the next revolutionary
art movement known as expressionism.

 Vincent van Gogh
(1853-1890)

Netherlands. His works were remarkable

intense
emotions, and colors that appeared to
almost pulsate with energy. Van Gogh’s
striking style was to have a far-reaching
influence on 20th century art, with his

 one of America's most respected living artists--created
this bronze sculpture of a woman plummeting to her
death, basing it on the many people who did just that
during the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
 The statue was displayed in Rockefeller Center starting
around the time of the one-year anniversary of 9/11.
Immediately, members of the public began complaining
about the upsetting nature of the piece, and
administrators at the center quickly covered it in cloth
and hid it behind a screen. On 18 Sept, it was removed
entirely. The Center apologized to anyone who might've
been "upset or offended" by the statue.
