Modernismo

Chama-se genericamente modernismo (ou movimento moderno) o conjunto de
movimentos culturais, escolas e estilos que permearam as artes e o design da primeira metade do século XX. Apesar de ser possível encontrar pontos de convergência entre os vários movimentos, eles em geral se diferenciam e até mesmo se antagonizam.Encaixam-se nesta classificação a literatura, a arquitetura, design, pintura, escultura e a música modernas.O movimento moderno baseou-se na idéia de que as formas "tradicionais" das artes plásticas, literatura, design, organização social e da vida cotidiana tornaram-se ultrapassados, e que fazia-se fundamental deixá-los de lado e criar no lugar uma nova cultura. Esta constatação apoiou a idéia de reexaminar cada aspecto da existência, do comércio à filosofia, com o objetivo de achar o que seriam as "marcas antigas" e substituí-las por novas formas, e possivelmente melhores, de se chegar ao "progresso". Em essência, o movimento moderno argumentava que as novas realidades do século XX eram permanentes e iminentes, e que as pessoas deveriam se adaptar as suas visões de mundo a fim de aceitar que o que era novo era também bom e belo.A palavra moderno também é utilizada em contraponto ao que é ultrapassado. Neste sentido ela é sinônimo de contemporâneo, embora do ponto de vista histórico-cultural, moderno e contemporâneo abrangem contextos bastante diversos.

História do modernismo
Origens
A primeira metade do século XIX na Europa foi marcada por uma série de guerras e revoluções turbulentas, as quais gradualmente traduziram-se em um conjunto de doutrinas atualmente identificadas com o movimento romântico, focado na experiência individual subjetiva, na supremacia da Natureza como um tema padrão na arte, meios de expressão revolucionários ou radicais e na liberdade do indivíduo. Em meados da metade do século, entretanto, uma síntese destas idéias e formas de governo estáveis surgiram. Chamada de vários nomes, esta síntese baseava-se na idéia de que o que era "real" dominou o que era subjetivo. Exemplificada pela real política de Otto Von Bismarck, idéias filosóficas como o positivismo e normas culturais agora descritas pela palavra vitoriano.Fundamental para esta síntese, no entanto, foi a importância de instituições, noções comuns e quadros de referência. Estes inspiraram-se em normas religiosas encontradas no Cristianismo, normas científicas da física clássica e doutrinas que pregavam a percepção da realidade básica externa através de um ponto de vista objetivo. Críticos e historiadores rotulam este conjunto de doutrinas como Realismo, apesar deste termo não ser universal. Na filosofia, os movimentos positivista e racionalista estabeleceram uma valorização da razão e do sistema.Contra estas correntes estavam uma série de idéias. Algumas delas eram continuações diretas das escolas de pensamento românticas. Notáveis eram os movimentos bucólicos e reviva listas nas artes plásticas e na poesia (por exemplo, a Irmandade pré-rafaelita e a filosofia de John Ruskin). O Racionalismo também manifestou respostas do anti-racionalismo na filosofia. Em particular, a visão dialética de Hegel da civilização e da história gerou respostas de Friedrich Nietzsche e Søren Kierkegaard, principal precursor do Existencialismo. Adicionalmente, Sigmund Freud ofereceu uma visão dos estados subjetivos que envolviam uma mente subconsciente repleta de impulsos primários e restrições contra balançantes, e Carl Jung combinaria a doutrina de Freud com uma crença na essência natural para estipular um inconsciente coletivo que era repleto de tipologias básicas que a mente consciente enfrentou ou assumiu. Todas estas reações individuais juntas, porém, ofereceram um desafio a quaisquer idéias confortáveis de certeza derivada da civilização, da história ou da razão pura.Duas escolas originadas na França gerariam um impacto particular. A primeira foi o Impressionismo, uma escola de pintura que inicialmente preocupou-se com o trabalho feito ao ar livre, ao invés dos estúdios. Argumentava-se que o ser humano não via objetos, mas a própria luz refletida pelos objetos. O movimento reuniu simpatizantes e, apesar de divisões internas entre seus principais membros, tornou-se cada vez mais influente. Foi originalmente rejeitado pelas mais importantes exposições comerciais do período - o governo patrocinava o Salon de Paris (Napoleão III viria a criar o Salon des rejects, que expôs todas as pinturas rejeitadas pelo Paris Salon). Enquanto muitas obras seguiam estilos padrão, mas por artistas inferiores, o trabalho de Manet atraiu tremenda atenção e abriu as portas do mercado da arte para o movimento.A segunda escola foi o Simbolismo, marcado pela crença de que a linguagem é um meio de expressão simbólico em sua natureza, e que a poesia e a prosa deveriam seguir quaisquer conexões que as curvas sonoras e a textura das palavras pudessem criar. O poeta Stéphane Mallarmé seria de particular importância para o que aconteceria dali a frente.Ao mesmo tempo, forças sociais, políticas e econômicas estavam trabalhando de forma a eventualmente serem usadas como base para uma forma radicalmente diferente de arte e pensamento.Encabeçando este processo estava a industrialização, que produziu obras como a Torre Eiffel, que superou todas as limitações anteriores que determinavam o quão alto um edifício poderia ser e ao mesmo tempo possibilitava um ambiente para a vida urbana notadamente diferente dos anteriores. As misérias da urbanização industrial e as possibilidades criadas pelo exame científico das disciplinas seriam cruciais na série de mudanças que abalariam a civilização européia, que, naquele momento, considerava-se tendo uma linha de desenvolvimento contínua e evolutiva desde a Renascença.A marca da mudanças que ocorriam pode ser encontrada na forma como tantas ciências são descritas em suas formas anteriores ao século XX pelo rótulo "clássico", incluindo a física clássica, a economia clássica e artes como o ballet clássico.

Nossa obra foi inspirada nas revistas modernistas, porque elas falavam de Renovação e nosso Projeto do Abajur foi renovar papel de revista,fazendo a arte do Origami.

Pablo Picasso
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (
October 25, 1881April 8, 1973), often referred to simply as Picasso, was a Spanish painter and sculptor. His full name is Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Clito Ruiz y Picasso.One of the most recognized figures in 20th century art, he is best known as the co-founder, along with Georges Braque, of cubism.Biography
Pablo Picasso was born in
Málaga, Spain, the first child of José Ruiz y Blasco and María Picasso y López. He was christened with the names Pablo, Diego, José, Francisco de Paula, Juan Nepomuceno, Maria de los Remedios, and Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad.[2] Picasso's father was a painter whose specialty was the naturalistic depiction of birds and who for most of his life was also a professor of art at the School of Crafts and a curator of a local museum. The young Picasso showed a passion and a skill for drawing from an early age; according to his mother,[3] his first word was "piz," a shortening of lápiz, the Spanish word for pencil.[4] It was from his father that Picasso had his first formal academic art training, such as figure drawing and painting in oil. Although Picasso attended art schools throughout his childhood, often those where his father taught, he never finished his college-level course of study at the Academy of Arts (Academia de San Fernando) in Madrid, leaving after less than a year.Personal life
After studying art in Madrid, he made his first trip to Paris in 1900, the art capital of Europe. In Paris, he lived with
Max Jacob (journalist and poet), who helped him learn French. Max slept at night and Picasso slept during the day as he worked at night. There were times of severe poverty, cold, and desperation. Much of his work had to be burned to keep the small room warm. In 1901, with his friend Soler, he founded the magazine Arte Joven in Madrid. The first edition was entirely illustrated by him. From that day, he started to simply sign his work Picasso, while before he signed Pablo Ruiz y Picasso.In the early years of the 20th century, Picasso, still a struggling youth, divided his time between Barcelona and Paris, where in 1904, he began a long-term relationship with Fernande Olivier. It is she who appears in many of the Rose period paintings. After acquiring fame and some fortune, Picasso left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert, whom Picasso called Eva. Picasso included declarations of his love for Eva in many Cubist works.In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including André Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, and writer Gertrude Stein. Apollinaire was arrested on suspicion of stealing the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in 1911. Apollonaire pointed to his friend Picasso, who was also brought in for questioning, but both were later exonerated.He maintained a number of mistresses in addition to his wife or primary partner. Picasso was married twice and had four children by three women. In the summer of 1918, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a ballerina with Sergei Diaghilev's troupe, for whom Picasso was designing a ballet, Parade, in Rome; and they spent their honeymoon in the villa near Biarritz of the glamorous Chilean art patron Eugenia Errázuriz. Khokhlova introduced Picasso to high society, formal dinner parties, and all the social niceties attendant on the life of the rich in 1920s Paris. The two had a son, Paulo, who would grow up to be a dissolute motorcycle racer and chauffeur to his father. Khokhlova's insistence on social propriety clashed with Picasso's bohemian tendencies and the two lived in a state of constant conflict. In 1927 Picasso met 17 year old Marie-Thérèse Walter and began a secret affair with her. Picasso's marriage to Khokhlova soon ended in separation rather than divorce, as French law required an even division of property in the case of divorce, and Picasso did not want Khokhlova to have half his wealth. The two remained legally married until Khokhlova's death in 1955. Picasso carried on a long-standing affair with Marie-Thérèse Walter and fathered a daughter, Maia, with her. Marie-Thérèse lived in the vain hope that Picasso would one day marry her, and hanged herself four years after Picasso's death.The photographer and painter Dora Maar was also a constant companion and lover of Picasso. The two were closest in the late 1930s and early 1940s and it was Maar who documented the painting of Guernica.During the Second World War, Picasso remained in Paris while the Germans occupied the city. Picasso's artistic style did not fit the Nazi views of art, so he was not able to show his works during this time. Retreating to his studio, he continued to paint all the while. Although the Germans outlawed bronze casting in Paris, Picasso continued regardless, using bronze smuggled to him by the French resistance.After the liberation of Paris in 1944, Picasso began to keep company with a young art student, Françoise Gilot. The two eventually became lovers, and had two children together, Claude and Paloma. Unique among Picasso's women, Gilot left Picasso in 1953, allegedly because of abusive treatment and infidelities. This came as a severe blow to Picasso.He went through a difficult period after Gilot's departure, coming to terms with his advancing age and his perception that, now in his 70s, he was no longer attractive, but rather grotesque to young women. A number of ink drawings from this period explore this theme of the hideous old dwarf as buffoonish counterpoint to the beautiful young girl, including several from a six-week affair with Geneviève Laporte, who in June 2005 auctioned off the drawings Picasso made of her.Picasso was not long in finding another lover, Jacqueline Roque. Roque worked at the Madoura Pottery in Vallauris on the French Riviera, where Picasso made and painted ceramics. The two remained together for the rest of Picasso's life, marrying in 1961. Their marriage was also the means of one last act of revenge against Gilot. Gilot had been seeking a legal means to legitimize her children with Picasso, Claude and Paloma. With Picasso's encouragement, she had arranged to divorce her then husband, Luc Simon, and marry Picasso to secure her children's rights. Picasso then secretly married Roque after Gilot had filed for divorce in order to exact his revenge for her leaving him.Picasso had constructed a huge gothic structure and could afford large villas in the south of France, at Notre-dame-de-vie on the outskirts of Mougins, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Although he was a celebrity, there was often as much interest in his personal life as his art.In addition to his manifold artistic accomplishments, Picasso had a film career, including a cameo appearance in Jean Cocteau's Testament of Orpheus. Picasso always played himself in his film appearances. In 1955 he helped make the film Le Mystère Picasso (The Mystery of Picasso) directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot.Pablo Picasso died on April 8, 1973 in Mougins, France, while he and his wife Jacqueline entertained friends for dinner. His final words were "Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink any more."He was interred at Castle Vauvenargues' park, in Vauvenargues, Bouches-du-Rhône. Jacqueline Roque prevented his children Claude and Paloma from attending the funeral.

Movimento desvairado

Escolhemos a poesia de Mario de Andrade "Paulicéia Desvairada", que mais tarde virou samba-enredo da escola de samba Estácio Sá, visualizamos nesta obra toda o musica brasileira, desde clássicos até as musicas populares e junto com a evolução de generos musicas, evoluiu também a forma de se armazenar as músicas, que antes era por discos de vinil e atualmente se armazena músicas através dos CDs

Veja abaixo a letra do Samba-enredo (a letra é a mesma da poesia):

Eu vi (ai meu Deus eu vi)O arco-íris clarearO céu da minha fantasiaNo brilho da Estácio a desfilarA brisa espalha no arUm buquê de poesiaNa Paulicéia desvairada lá vou euFazer poemas, e cantar minha emoçãoQuero a arte pro meu povoSer feliz de novoE flutuar nas asas da ilusãoMe dê, me dá, me dá, me dêOnde você for eu vou com vocêLá vem o trem do caipiraPrum dia novo encontrarPela terra, corta o marNa passarela a girarMúsicos, atores, escultoresPintores, poetas e compositoresExpoentes de um grande paísMostraram ao mundo o perfil do brasileiroMalandro, bonito, sagaz e maneiroQue canta e dança, pinta e borda e é felizE assim transformaram os conceitos sociaisE resgataram pra nossa culturaA beleza do folcloreE a riqueza do barroco nacionalModernismo movimento culturalNo país da TropicáliaTudo acaba em carnaval...

Modernismo

O modernismo no Brasil


O modernismo se início em 1922,tendo como marco inicial a Semana de Arte Moderna.
Esse movimento tinha como intuito principal resgatar a e reavivar a cultura e as tradições nacionais.
Engajados nessa causa, muitos escritores, pintores, escultores, músicos, entre outros usaram toda a sua ousadia e agressividade em suas obras.
Inicialmente a semana de arte moderna não teve a repercussão esperada, todavia anos mais tarde esse movimento foi e, ainda é reconhecido como um dos movimentos mais significativos à nossa cultura e ao resgate de nossa identidade perdida em meio a tantas influencias externas.
Devida a apresentação diversificada de algumas características, o modernismo foi dividido em fases, que são elas:


Primeira Geração (1922-1930)
Caracteriza-se por ser uma tentativa de definir e marcar posições. Período rico em manifestos e revistas de vida efêmera.
Um mês depois da SAM, a política vive dois momentos importantes: eleições para Presidência da República e congresso (RJ) para fundação do Partido Comunista do Brasil. Ainda no campo da política, surge em 1926 o Partido Democrático que teve entre seus fundadores Mário de Andrade.
É a fase mais radical justamente em conseqüência da necessidade de definições e do rompimento de todas as estruturas do passado. Caráter anárquico e forte sentido destruidor.
Principais autores desta fase: Mário de Andrade, Oswald de Andrade, Manuel Bandeira, Antônio de Alcântara Machado, Menotti del Picchia, Cassiano Ricardo, Guilherme de Almeida e Plínio Salgado.
Características
- Busca do moderno, original e polêmico.
- Nacionalismo em suas múltiplas facetas.
- Volta às origens e valorização do índio verdadeiramente brasileiro.
- “Língua brasileira” - falada pelo povo nas ruas.
- Paródias - tentativa de repensar a história e a literatura brasileiras.
A postura nacionalista apresenta-se em duas vertentes:
- nacionalismo crítico, consciente, de denúncia da realidade, identificado politicamente com as esquerdas.
- nacionalismo ufanista, utópico, exagerado, identificado com as correntes de extrema direita.

Manifesto da Poesia Pau-Brasil (1924-1925)
Escrito por Oswald e publicado inicialmente no Correio da Manhã. Em 1925, é publicado como abertura do livro de poesias Pau-Brasil de Oswald. Apresenta uma proposta de literatura vinculada à realidade brasileira, a partir de uma redescoberta do Brasil.

Verde-Amarelismo (1926-1929)
É uma resposta ao nacionalismo do Pau-Brasil. Grupo formado por Plínio Salgado, Menotti del Picchia, Guilherme de Almeida e Cassiano Ricardo. Criticavam o “nacionalismo afrancesado” de Oswald. Sua proposta era de um nacionalismo primitivista, ufanista, identificado com o fascismo, evoluindo para o Integralismo de Plínio Salgado (década de 30). Idolatria do tupi e a anta é eleita símbolo nacional. Em maio de 1929, o grupo verde-amarelista publica o manifesto “Nhengaçu Verde-Amarelo — Manifesto do Verde-Amarelismo ou da Escola da Anta”.

Manifesto Regionalista de 1926
1925 e 1930 é um período marcado pela difusão do Modernismo pelos estados brasileiros. Nesse sentido, o Centro Regionalista do Nordeste (Recife) busca desenvolver o sentimento de unidade do Nordeste nos novos moldes modernistas. Propõem trabalhar em favor dos interesses da região, além de promover conferências, exposições de arte, congressos etc. Para tanto, editaram uma revista. Vale ressaltar que o regionalismo nordestino conta com Graciliano Ramos, José Lins do Rego, José Américo de Almeida, Rachel de Queiroz, Jorge Amado e João Cabral - na 2ª fase modernista.
Revista Antropofagia (1928-1929)
Contou com duas fases (dentições): a primeira com 10 números (1928 e 1929) direção Antônio Alcântara Machado e gerência de Raul Bopp; a segunda foi publicada semanalmente em 16 números no jornal Diário de São Paulo (1929) e seu “açougueiro” (secretário) era Geraldo Ferraz. É uma nova etapa do nacionalismo Pau-Brasil e resposta ao grupo Verde-amarelismo. A origem do nome movimento está na tela “Abaporu” (O que come) de Tarsila do Amaral.
1ª fase - inicia-se com o polêmico manifesto de Oswald e conta com Alcântara Machado, Mário de Andrade (2º número publicou um capítulo de Macunaíma), Carlos Drummond (3º número publicou a poesia “No meio do caminho”); além de desenhos de Tarsila, artigos em favor da língua tupi de Plínio Salgado e poesias de Guilherme de Almeida.
2ª fase - mais definida ideologicamente, com ruptura de Oswald e Mário de Andrade. Estão nessa segunda fase Oswald, Bopp, Geraldo Ferraz, Oswaldo Costa, Tarsila, Patrícia Galvão (Pagu). Os alvos das críticas (mordidas) são Mário de Andrade, Alcântara Machado, Graça Aranha, Guilherme de Almeida, Menotti del Picchia e Plínio Salgado.

Alguns Autores
Antônio de Alcântara Machado (1901-1935)
Cassiano Ricardo (1895-1974)
Guilherme de Almeida (1890-1969)
Manuel Bandeira (1886-1968)
Mário de Andrade (1893-1945)
Oswald de Andrade (1890-1953)
Plínio Salgado (1895-1975)
Raul Bopp (1898-1984)
Ronald de Carvalho (1893-1935)

Segunda Geração (1930-1945)
Estende-se de 1930 a 1945, sendo um período rico na produção poética e também na prosa. O universo temático se amplia e os artistas passam a preocupar-se mais com o destino dos homens, o estar-no-mundo.
“A segunda fase colheu os resultados da precedente, substituindo o caráter destruidor pela intenção construtiva, “pela recomposição de valores e configuração da nova ordem estética”. --Cassiano Ricardo
Durante algum certo tempo, a poesia das gerações de 22 e 30 conviveram. Não se trata, portanto, de uma sucessão brusca. A maioria dos poetas de 30 absorveria parte da experiência de 22: liberdade temática, gosto da expressão atualizada ou inventiva, verso livre, anti-academicismo.
A poesia prossegue a tarefa de purificação de meios e formas iniciada antes, ampliando a temática na direção da inquietação filosófica e religiosa, com Vinícius de Moraes, Jorge de Lima, Augusto Frederico Schmidt, Murilo Mendes, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, ao tempo em que a prosa alargava a sua área de interesse para incluir preocupações novas de ordem política, social e econômica, humana e espiritual. À piada sucedeu a gravidade de espírito, a seriedade da alma, propósitos e meios. Uma geração grave, preocupada com o destino do homem e com as dores do mundo, pelos quais se considerava responsável, deu à época uma atividade excepcional.
O humor quase piadístico de Drummond receberia influências de Mário e Oswald de Andrade. Vinícius, Cecília, Jorge de Lima e Murilo Mendes apresentam certo espiritualismo que vinha do livro de Mário "Há uma gota de Sangue em cada Poema" (1917).
A geração de 30 não precisou ser combativa como a de 22. Eles já encontraram uma linguagem poética modernista estruturada. Passaram então a aprimorá-la e extrair dela novas variações, numa maior estabilidade.
O Modernismo já estava dinamicamente incorporado às praticas literárias brasileiras, sendo assim os modernistas de 30 estão mais voltados ao drama do mundo e ao desconcerto do capitalismo.

Prosa
Romances caracterizados pela denúncia social, verdadeiro documento da realidade brasileira, atingindo elevado grau de tensão nas relações do eu com o mundo. Uma das principais características do romance brasileiro é o encontro do escritor com seu povo. Há uma busca do homem brasileiro nas diversas regiões, por isso o regionalismo ganha importância, com destaque às relações do personagem com o meio natural e social.
Os escritores nordestinos merecem destaque especial, por sua denúncia da realidade da região pouco conhecida nos grandes centros. O 1° romance nordestino foi "A Bagaceira" de José Américo de Almeida. Esses romances retratam o surgimento da realidade capitalista, a exploração das pessoas, movimentos migratórios, miséria, fome, seca etc.

Alguns Autores
Carlos Drummond de Andrade (1902-1987)
Cecília Meireles (1901-1964)
Érico Veríssimo (1905-1975)
Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953)
Jorge Amado (1912-2001)
José Lins do Rego (1901-1957)
Murilo Mendes (1901-1975)
Vinícius de Moraes (1913-1980)

Terceira Geração (1945-1978)
A literatura brasileira, assim como o cenário sócio-político, passa por transformações.
A prosa tanto no romance quanto nos contos busca uma literatura intimista, de sondagem psicológica, introspectiva, com destaque para Clarice Lispector. Ao mesmo tempo, o regionalismo adquire uma nova dimensão com Guimarães Rosa e sua recriação dos costumes e da fala sertaneja, penetrando fundo na psicologia do jagunço do Brasil central. Um traço característico comum a Clarice e Guimarães Rosa é a pesquisa da linguagem, por isso são chamados instrumentalistas. Enquanto Guimarães Rosa preocupa-se com a manutenção do enredo com o suspense, Clarice abandona quase que completamente a noção de trama e detém-se no registro de incidentes do cotidiano ou no mergulho para dentro dos personagens.
Na poesia, surge uma geração de poetas que se opõem às conquistas e inovações dos modernistas de 22. A nova proposta foi defendida, inicialmente, pela revista Orfeu (1947). Assim, negando a liberdade formal, as ironias, as sátiras e outras “brincadeiras” modernistas, os poetas de 45 buscam uma poesia mais “equilibrada e séria”. Os modelos voltam a ser os Parnasianos e Simbolistas. Principais autores (Ledo Ivo, Péricles Eugênio da Silva Ramos, Geir de Campos e Darcy Damasceno). No fim dos anos 40, surge um poeta singular, pois não está filiado esteticamente a nenhuma tendência: João Cabral de Melo Neto.
Alguns Autores
Clarice Lispector (1920-1977)
Domingos Carvalho da Silva
Ferreira Gullar (1930- )
João Cabral de Melo Neto (1920-1999)
João Guimarães Rosa (1908-1967)
Ledo Ivo (1924- )

Proposta e inspiração do Abajur

Para realizarmos o projeto do abajur, que foi um modo de resgatar um pouco da importância e influencia modernista , buscamos inspiração nas idealizações dos grandes nomes da época.Um desses nomes foi Tarsila do Amaral, que lutou com toda a bravura e determinação por esse movimento.O nosso abajur se chama Mosaico modernista e nele temos imagens das maiores obras modernistas sobre um abajur simples, preto , deixando somente a luz do modernismo transparecer pelas imagens.Esse era o intuito dos modernistas, a partir de suas idéias conscientizar e emanar a luz da inovação, tendo como base de criação as raízes da cultura nacional.

Edvard Munch




Biography

Edvard Munch was born in Ådalsbruk/Løten, Norway, and grew up in Kristiania (now Oslo). He was related to painter Jacob Munch (1776–1839) and historian Peter Andreas Munch (1810–1863). He lost his mother, Laura Cathrine Munch, née Bjølstad, to tuberculosis in 1868, and his older and favorite sister Sophie (Johanne Sophie b. 1862) to the same disease in 1877. Ultimately his father, Christian Munch, died young, as well, in 1889. Munch also had a brother, (Peter) Andreas (b. 1865) and two younger sisters (Laura Cathrine b. 1867, Inger Marie b. 1868). After their mother's death, the Munch siblings were raised by their father, who instilled in his children a deep-rooted fear by repeatedly telling them that if they sinned in any way, they would be doomed to hell without chance of pardon. One of Munch's younger sisters was diagnosed with mental illness at an early age. Munch himself was also often ill. Of the five siblings only Andreas married, but he died a few months after the wedding. He would later say, "Sickness, insanity and death were the angels that surrounded my cradle and they have followed me throughout my life."


Studies and influences
In 1879, Munch enrolled in a technical college to study engineering, but frequent illnesses interrupted his studies. In 1880, he left the college to become a painter. In 1881, he enrolled at the Royal School of Art and Design of Kristiania. His teachers were sculptor Julius Middelthun and naturalistic painter Christian Krohg.

While stylistically influenced by the postimpressionists, Munch's subject matter is symbolist in content, depicting a state of mind rather than an external reality. Munch maintained that the impressionist idiom did not suit his art. Interested in portraying not a random slice of reality, but situations brimming with emotional content and expressive energy, Munch carefully calculated his compositions to create a tense atmosphere.


Maturity
Munch's means of expression evolved throughout his life. In the 1880s, his idiom was both naturalistic, as seen in Portrait of Hans Jæger, and impressionistic, as in (Rue Lafayette). In 1892, Munch formulated his characteristic, and original, Synthetist aesthetic, as seen in Melancholy, in which colour is the symbol-laden element. Painted in 1893, The Scream is his most famous work.[2]

During the 1890s, Munch favoured a shallow pictorial space, a minimal backdrop for his frontal figures. Since poses were chosen to produce the most convincing images of states of mind and psychological conditions (Ashes), the figures impart a monumental, static quality. Munch's figures appear to play roles on a theatre stage (Death in the Sick-Room), whose pantomime of fixed postures signify various emotions; since each character embodies a single psychological dimension, as in The Scream, Munch's men and women appear more symbolic than realistic.

In 1892, the Union of Berlin Artists invited Munch to exhibit at its November exhibition. His paintings evoked bitter controversy, and after one week the exhibition closed. In Berlin, Munch involved himself in an international circle of writers, artists and critics, including the Swedish dramatist August Strindberg.

While in Berlin at the turn of the century, Munch experimented with a variety of new media (photography, lithography, and woodcuts), in many instances re-working his older imagery.

One of his great supporters in Berlin was Walter Rathenau, later the German foreign minister, who greatly contributed to his success.

In the autumn of 1908, Munch's anxiety became acute and he entered the clinic of Dr. Daniel Jacobson. The therapy (including electric shock therapy) Munch received in hospital changed his personality, and after returning to Norway in 1909 he showed more interest in nature subjects, and his work became more colourful and less pessimistic.


Later life
In the 1930s and 1940s, the Nazis labeled his work "degenerate art", and removed his work from German museums. This deeply hurt Munch, who had come to feel Germany was his second homeland.

Munch built himself a studio and simple house at Ekly estate, at Skøyen, Oslo, and spent the last decades of his life there.[3] He died there on January 23, 1944, about a month after his 80th birthday.

"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity."
—Edvard Munch

Legacy
When Munch died he left 1,008 paintings, 15,391 prints, 4,443 drawings and watercolors, and six sculptures to the city of Oslo which built the Munch Museum at Tøyen.[citation needed] The museum houses the broadest collection of his works in the world. His works are also represented in major museums and galleries in Norway and abroad. After the Cultural Revolution in the People's Republic of China ended, Munch was the first Western artist to have his pictures exhibited at the National Gallery in Beijing.

One version of The Scream was stolen in 1994, another in 2004. Both have since been recovered, but one version sustained damage during the theft which was too extensive to repair completely.

In October 2006, the colour woodcut Two people. The lonely (To mennesker. De ensomme) set a new record for his prints when it was sold at an auction in Oslo for 8.1 million NOK (1.27 million USD). It also set a new record for the highest price paid in auction in Norway. [1]

Munch appears on the Norwegian 1,000 Kroner note along with pictures inspired by his artwork. [2]


Frieze of Life — A Poem about Life, Love and Death

MadonnaIn December 1893, Unter den Linden in Berlin held an exhibition of Munch's work, showing, among other pieces, six paintings entitled Study for a Series: Love. This began a cycle he later called the Frieze of Life — A Poem about Life, Love and Death. Frieze of Life motifs such as The Storm and Moonlight are steeped in atmosphere. Other motifs illuminate the nocturnal side of love, such as Rose and Amelie and Vampire. In Death in the Sickroom (1893), the subject is the death of his sister Sophie. The dramatic focus of the painting, portraying his entire family, is dispersed in a series of separate and disconnected figures of sorrow. In 1894, he enlarged the spectrum of motifs by adding Anxiety, Ashes, Madonna and Women in Three Stages.

Around the turn of the century, Munch worked to finish the Frieze. He painted a number of pictures, several of them in larger format and to some extent featuring the Art Nouveau aesthetics of the time. He made a wooden frame with carved reliefs for the large painting Metabolism (1898), initially called Adam and Eve. This work reveals Munch's preoccupation with the "fall of man" myth and his pessimistic philosophy of love. Motifs such as The Empty Cross and Golgotha (both c. 1900) reflect a metaphysical orientation, and also echo Munch's pietistic upbringing. The entire Frieze showed for the first time at the secessionist exhibition in Berlin in 1902.

Van Gogh

Name: Vincent Willem Van Gogh
Born: Groot-Zundert, Brabant,Netherlands - 30 March, 1853
Died: Auvers-sur-Oise, France - 27 July, 1890
Biography
On March 30, 1853 Anna Cornelia Carbentus gave birth to a boy in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands. Unbeknownst to her or the father, Reverend Theodorus Van Gogh of the protestant church, this boy would be tormented by severe mental instability for the majority of his life, die from his own hands, and ultimately change the outlook on art for the rest of history. His life was to become one of uncertainty and madness, involving largely his own need to find a niche and the undeniable love for art. This man was Vincent Van Gogh.
Vincent's family consisted of his three sisters Elisabeth, Anna, Wil, two brothers Theo and Cor, and his mother and father. His earliest years were spent as a quiet child with little or no attention spent on art or artistic qualities. Other specifics about Van Gogh's childhood are not known.
In 1870, after completing a sketchy array of education, Van Gogh was employed by the Hague gallery, run by French art dealers Goupil et Cie, at the age of 16. Later in 1873, Goupil transferred Vincent to London then again to Paris by 1875. After this relocation, Gogh lost all desire to become a professional art dealer; instead following in his father's foot steps and devoting his life to the evangelization of the poor seemed more logical. Despite his erratic behavior his parents agreed to pay for his education. Gogh soon abandoned his lessons and began a ministry with the miners of Borinage. During this time he was able to identify with the miners, their lifestyles, and their families. This interaction between Gogh and the worker class is later shown in his works as he becomes fascinated with depicting peasant life.
After working with the miners for a period of time, Vincent's own urge to leave something of importance behind for mankind along with his brother Theo's consistent pressure, he became an artist. Without any proper training, or even having open artistic talent, Gogh doubted his abilities, and was supported in this doubt by his parents. However, Theo continued to push Vincent forward and supported him financially. The outcome would be the creation of a master of art, who evolved from his doubtful shell into a brilliant but besieged mind very rapidly.
In 1881, at the age of 27, Vincent moved back in with his parents after completing nine months of further education in Brussels. At home Vincent set to work on teaching himself how to draw. He tested various different techniques and styles along with experimenting with different subject matters. Other areas he worked on mastering were perspective, shading, and anatomy. Many of his earliest pieces were of peasant life, which could be attributed to his work with the miners of Borinage. Vincent soon became passionate about becoming an acclaimed drawer of figures, and continued to practice his newly developed skills. By the end of 1881, Vincent had moved from his parent's house and was acquiring lessons from Anton Mauve, his cousin by way of marriage. Vincent also began a relationship with Sien Hoomik, a pregnant prostitute whom had had one child out of wedlock already. Vincent was deeply shunned by Mauve for this relationship thus causing the two to fall out of friendship. However, Vincent continued to master the skills of drawing and used Hoomik as a model whenever possible.
Vincent soon became irritable and made the choice to break off his relationship with Hoomik and move once again to follow artists like Van Rappard and Mauve to Drenthe.
Vincent soon found a lack of inspiration and models and moved back in with his parents to continue practice. Here Vincent was first introduced to the paintings of Jean-Franqois Millet, a French artist, who had become quite famous across Europe for his renditions of peasant life. Van Gogh began painting and he forcibly modeled his style after Millet. By the age of 29, Vincent had moved from his parents' house and worked in a make-shift studio located in a room he rented from a Catholic church.
From the beginning of Van Gogh's artistic career he had the ambition to draw and paint figures, in 1884 he began working on mastering weathered hands, heads and other anatomical features of peasants. He was planning on creating a multiple figure piece that would make his name respected in the artistic community. The piece he created was entitled The Potato Eaters and was completed in 1885. This piece proved to be success, but not in his lifetime.
After the personal failure of The Potato Eaters, Vincent decided he needed some professional training in art techniques. He enrolled later that year in an academy in Antwerp where he discovered the art of Peter Paul Rubens, and various Japanese artists. Both of these factors would greatly affect Van Gogh's style in art. By early 1886, he had moved to Paris to live with his brother Theo. Here Vincent was immersed in a centrifuge of modern art from the impressionist and post impressionists. Van Gogh quickly dropped the dark colors he had used to create The Potato Eaters after discovering the palette to be horrendously out of date. He adopted the brighter more vibrant colors with ease and began experimenting with the techniques he saw in the art of the impressionist and post impressionists. He soon began to research the styles found in the Japanese artwork he had discovered a year earlier.
While in Paris, Vincent was acquainted with various other artists including: Paul Gauguin, Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet, and Emile Bernard. Vincent befriended Paul Gauguin and moved to Arles in 1888 hoping that his new friends would join him to create a school of art. Vincent was confident in his new and highly personal style and felt that he could attribute it to modern art with his outlandish new color combinations.
Later Paul Gauguin did join Van Gogh in Arles. Vincent began painting sunflowers to decorate Gauguin's bedroom. These sunflowers would later become one of Vincent's signature pieces. Although something much greater was brewing in Vincent's head, that he couldn't control. Towards the end of 1888, the first signs of Van Gogh's mental illness began to take hold. He suffered from various types of epilepsy, psychotic attacks, and delusions. One such episode entailed Vincent pursuing Gauguin with a knife and threatening him intensely. Later that day, Vincent returned to their house and mutilated his ear, then offered it to a prostitute as a gift. Vincent was temporarily hospitalized and released to find Gauguin swiftly leaving Arles and his dream of an artistic community shattered.
As the year of 1888 came to an end, Vincent traveled to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence where he committed himself to an asylum. Here his paintings became a torrent of activity. Although he could not draw and paint for long periods of time without suffering from an attack, he managed to create The Starry Night which resides as his most popular work and one of the most influence pieces in history. The swirling lines of the sky are a possible representation of his mental state. This same shaken style is visible in all of his work during his time in the asylum.
Vincent left Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in 1890 and began contacting his brother Theo. Van Gogh continued working and created a number of pieces; nearly one painting day. Vincent viewed his life as horribly wasted, personally failed and impossible. On July 27, 1890 Van Gogh attempted suicide by shooting himself in the chest. He survived, but died two days later from the wound.
Theo, who had collected the majority of Vincent's work from Paris, died only six months later. His widow took the collection to Netherlands and dedicated herself to getting the now deceased Vincent the recognition he deserved. She published his work and Vincent became famous nearly instantly. His reputation has been growing since.
The story of Vincent Van Gogh's tragic life, filled with mental evils and artistic triumphs , lingers almost becoming that of legend. His work is still astounding millions around the world daily, and though he sold only one painting in his life, his influence on the outcome of art has been amazing and overwhelming. His paintings have reached new records when sold for hundreds of millions of dollars, and his persona has sparked number one hit songs. Vincent Van Gogh has altered mankind forever... and he believed his life was a terrible failure!

Visible Influences

Emiliano Augusto Cavalcanti de Albuquerque Melo
Emiliano Augusto Cavalcanti de Albuquerque Melo, (September 6, 1897October 26, 1976), known as Di Cavalcanti, was a Brazilian painter. Married to the painter Noêmia Mourão in 1932, who would be an inspiration in his works in the later 1930’s. After a prior marriage to his cousin Maria in 1921. Engaged in a pursuit for a Law degree in São Paolo and did not manage to complete this pursuit.Interpretations of artworksIf one looks at the works of art presented by Di Cavalcanti one has to come to terms that this goes against art one would have seen before and thus one has to examine these works differently. Di Cavalcanti was obviously obsessed with the female body, since very many representations are to be found within the works he produced. The street scenes depicted by Cavalcanti have such a friendly feeling to them and one cannot deny the feelings these images evoke within the onlooker themselves. The art Di Cavalcanti produced is very friendly due to the bright color palette and the depictions of everyday life in such a normal, non-romanticized way that they evoke no strong political undercurrent, as seen in the muralisms found in Mexico around the 1930’s and ‘40’s made by Diego Rivera and David Siqueiros. The works produced by these artist were very much so part of revolutionary movement in opposition of the new revolutionary government who came to power in Mexico. Di Cavalcanti on the other hand refrained from overwhelming political representations and made friendly art although he himself was in a pursuit of perfecting the pure Brazilian art which had a clear break with the European influences who had their influences on the art before and still had after Di Cavalcanti started producing his art.
*
the early years (1987-1922)
Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1897, Di Cavalcanti became influenced by the intellectuals he met at his uncle’s house. This would provide the basis for a lifelong politically driven artistic career, which would start by the production of a drawing published by the magazine fon-fon. Di Cavalcanti moved to São Paulo in 1917. At this time Di Cavalcanti held his first exhibition at the Editora do Livro (o livro bookstore) in São Paulo. This first exhibition would only include caricatures with very viable symbolist influences to be found presented in the works. In 1918 Di Cavalcanti would become part of a group of intellectuals and artists in São Paulo which would contain artist like Oswald de Andrade, Mário de Andrade, Guilherme de Almeida, etc. This group would be the direct cause for bringing the Semana de Arte(week of modern art) in life in 1922. For which one can see the cover page on the right of this page. This movement along with the Group of Five wished to revive the artistic environment in São Paulo at the time and had as main interest to free the Brazilian art from the European influences found within it. The works Di Cavalcanti displayed at the Semana would however possess a varying symbolist, expressionistic, and impressionistic influences. This can thus be seen as a continuance of European stylistic influences and this would not change until Di Cavalcanti would return from Paris in 1925 and would locate himself in Rio de Janeiro once again.
*
Years abroad (1923-1925)
Di Cavalcanti would leave the South American continent and would locate himself in Paris and Montparnasse in 1923 until 1925. During this time Di Cavalcanti was employed as a correspondent for the newspaper Correio da Manhã and would attend classes at the Académie Ranson in Paris, which would directly lead him to meet European modernists like Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, George Braque, and Léger. During this time his feelings to create a true Brazilian art would flourish and thus lead to his later works.
*
Return to Rio de Janeiro (1926-1936)
After returning from Europe and having experienced the modernist movement in Europe Di Cavalcanti would start working on a more Brazilian art, which Di Cavalcanti and the group who held the Semana de Arte already advocated in 1922. During this time Di Cavalcanti would join the Brazilian Communist Party due to the heightened nationalistic feelings.Di Cavalcanti felt these feelings due to his stay abroad in Paris for three years.Di Cavalcanti embodies the problematic tendency of Brazilian modernists to be pulled in two directions: his subject matter consists of particularly Brazilian themes (mostly mulatto women), but his chief artistic influences are the European modernists and Pablo Picasso most of all. In 1929 Di Cavalcanti also started to work on interior design, as seen in the two panels produced for the Teatro João Caetano ( João Caetano Theatre) in Rio de Janeiro. This was thus another notch in the artistic belt Di Cavalcanti embodied, varying from drawings to paintings and also interior design. In 1930 Di Cavalcanti was involved in an exhibition of Brazilian art at the International Art Center at the Roerich Museum in New York. At this time Di Cavalcanti once again was involved with correspondence and magazines as he was the principal writer for the newly established magazine forma. In 1932 another large group was established by Lasar Segall, Anita Malfatti, and Vitor Becheret which was the Sociedade Pró-Arter Moderna also known as SPAM. The goal of this group was to bring modernism to Brazilian art and follow in the footsteps of the Semana de Arte and encourage a revival of its ideas. On April 28th, 1933 this group would hold the Exposição de Arte Moderna, which would be the first exhibition to feature works produced by Pablo Picasso, Léger, and George Braque all of which were know by the Brazilian people, however these works were never seen in the flesh before this exhibition. The exhibition pieces from the European masters were all borrowed from local Brazilian private collections. This exhibition was such a success that during the second showing in the fall many local Brazilian artist like Di Cavalcanti, Portinari, etc. took part in the exhibition. During the next years until 1937 Di Cavalcanti would be jailed twice for the communistic beliefs and ties he undertook in prior years. During his first incarceration in 1932 Di Cavalcanti would actually meet his wife to be painter Noêmia Mourão after being incarcerated for supporting Revolução Paulisto. The year after this Di Cavalcanti would marry Noêmia Mourão and she became his traveling partner for the years to come until they both got jailed in 1936.
*
Europe again(1937-1940)
In 1937 Di Cavalcanti and his wife Noêmia Mourão would set sail to Paris to stay there until the outbreak of World War II in the start of 1940. During this three year stay abroad Di Cavalcanti was awarded a Gold medal in the Art Technique Exhibition in Paris for his murals performed in the French-Brazilian Coffee Company. After this Di Cavalcanti would produce around 40 works, only to be left behind when he and his wife fled the country on the eve of the German Nazi invasion and would arrive back in São Paolo in 1940.Back in Brazil (1941-1976)After his return to Brazil his nationalistic feelings became even stronger and one can see that in the representations of mulatto women, carnivals, Negroes, deserted alleys, and tropical landscapes which are only to be found in the Brazilian everyday life and social settings and not in European settings and thus providing a clear distinction. Only to lecture about these things in 1948 in the Museu de Arte de São Paulo. Providing a lecture on modernism, expressing nationalism, and opposing abstraction. However trying to do so one will always be encouraged to see the European influences in the works produced by Di Cavalcanti. Di Cavalcanti tried to steer away from these influence, however was ultimately unable to do so during his career. In 1951 the first of the Bienals was held at the Museu de Arte Moderna at São Paulo and provided a great example where Di Cavalcanti’s works were shown. At the Bienal there were many more artists from the South American continent who were seeking for a true national art. The Mexican Muralists Diego Rivera and David Siquieros were thus personally invited by Di Cavalcanti and actually attended. The exuberance and expression of true south American art was a very strong incentive for the founder Francisco Matarazzo Sobrinho or also known as Ciccilo to hold this exhibition again and after completion there was another exhibition to be shown in 1953 . The works left behind after feeing Europe in 1940 were to be recovered in 1966 in the basement of the Brazilian Embassy in Paris.The friendship with local patron and creator of the Bienals, Francisco Matarazzo Sobrinho or better known as Ciccilo, was a direct effect to the donation of 559 drawing by Di Cavalcanti himself to the Museu de Arte Contemporânea which was founded by Ciccilo. The Museu de Arte Contempemporânea is also better known as the MAC and currently has 564 drawings of Di Cavalcanti in its possession of which only 5 were acquired through purchases and the others through the donation by Di Cavalcanti himself.
*
Style
Di Cavalcanti tried through the creation of the Semana de Arte in 1922 and the Bienals in either 1951 and 1953 to push for a true Brazilian art which was to be seen as separated from European stylistic influences. This was a dream and philosophy which can be seen as an ideal for Di Cavalcanti which was never found as one can see stylistic influences from the Italian Renaissance, Muralism, and the European Modernists.
