 SYMBOLIS
M
• Symbolism in painting represents a mixture of form and
feeling of reality and the artist's inner subjectivity
• the subjective vision of an artist expressed through a
simplified and non-naturalistic style (Albert Aurier, 1891)
and hailing Gauguin as its leader.
• The groundwork for pictorial Symbolism was laid as early as
the 1870s by an older generation of artists.

• Gustave Moreau (1826 1898)
• Puvis de Chavannes (1824-
1898)
• Odilon Rédon (1840-1916)
• Eugene Carrière (1849-1906)
• Arnold Böcklin (1827-1901)
• Edward Burne-Jones (1833-
1898)
 SYMBOLIS
M
• Wanting to add spiritual value to their artworks, these
founders of Symbolism produced imaginary dream
worlds populated with biblical figures and Greek
mythology creatures, which were often monstrous.
• Their artworks created what would become the most
persistent subjects in Symbolist art: love, fear,
anguish, death, sexual awakening, and unrequited
desire.

 FAUVIS
M
• Fauvism started in France to become the first new
artistic style of the 20th century.
• Totally different from the dark, disturbing nature of
Symbolist art
• the Fauves created bright cheery landscapes and
figure paintings with pure intense color and bold
distinctive brushwork.

• During the 1905 Salon d’Automne in Paris, artworks
from the movement had shown the difference of the
art to traditional art that led the critic Louis
Vauxcelles to describe the artists as Les Fauves or
"wild beasts," and, thus, the name was born.
• The leaders, of the movement were Andre' Derain
and Henri Matisse.

 EXPRESSIONISM
• Expressionism was a modernist movement, originating
in
Germany at the beginning of the 20th century.
• Expressionism was an artistic style in which the artist
tried to describe not the objective reality but the
subjective emotions, objects, and events that aroused
him.
• Its conventional trait was to show the world solely from a
subjective perspective, distorting it radically for
emotional effect to evoke moods or ideas.
 EXPRESSIONISM
• Expressionist artists tried to express the meaning
of
emotional experience rather than physical reality.
• He achieved his goal by distortion, exaggeration,
primitivism, and fantasy and through the vivid,
violent, or dynamic application of formal elements.

M
• Cubism was started by Georges Braque and Pablo
Picasso.
• Cubist artworks were easily recognizable because of
their flattened, nearly two dimensional
appearance; an inclusion of geometric, angles,
lines, and shapes; and a fairly neutral color.
 CUBIS
M
• Cubist works often appeared more like collage than
anything else.
• Cubism allowed artists to see in a different way of
seeing and depicting real-life objects.
• Cubist paintings were not meant to be realistic,
instead, the artist would piece together fragments of
the subject from different vantage points into one
painting.
