The Visionary Genius Hilma af Klint: Explore the Spiritual World of the very first Abstract Artist Art History School 2021-07-05 | The artist Hilma af Klint was the true pioneer of abstract art, producing abstract paintings five years before Kandinsky. Find out more in this Hilma af Klint biography. The Swedish artist Hilma af Klint was born on 26 October 1862, at the Karlberg Palace in Solna, Sweden, the naval academy where her father was based. She was the fourth of five children born to Mathilda and Victor af Klint who were both staunch Protestants. Most of her childhood was spent in the Karlberg Palace, but during the summers, the family would move to Adelso, an island in Lake Malaren, near Stockholm. It was here that Hilma's fascination with nature and organic life began.In 1880 she attended the Technical School, now known as Konstfack, and studied classical portraiture under the supervision of the artist Kerstin Cardon. Around this time, she became a committed vegetarian, usually wore black and began to develop an interest in the spiritual and the occult. At the age of 20 in 1882, Hilma enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. She was one of the first women to do so and spent the next five years studying drawing, portraiture and landscape painting. She graduated with honours and as a result, was awarded a studio in the Academy’s “Atelier Building”, in Stockholm's artist quarter. In 1896 she joined the Edelweiss Society but left soon after with four other like-minded women artists and founded the “Friday Group”, also known as “The Five”. They met for spiritual meetings, meditation and séances. The medium, Sigrid Hedman, one of the five, led exercises in automatic writing. This was decades before the Surrealists would use automatic drawing to generate their ideas. In 1904 Hilma af Klint’s work profoundly changed after an otherworldly experience. During a séance, she claimed to have heard a voice telling her to make paintings 'on an astral plane'. So, in November 1906 at age 44, Hilma af Klint began creating, ‘The Paintings for the Temple,’ which comprised several series of paintings on various themes. The first, preparatory group was called Primordial Chaos and consisted of twenty-six small pictures. They break free entirely from representation, combining geometric shapes such as spirals with dynamic brushstrokes, letters of the alphabet and symbols. It was a conscious decision on her part to keep these works secret, only showing them to a small, very select group of friends.Hilma af Klint shared an interest in the spiritual with the other pioneers of abstract art including Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, and Piet Mondrian. And like Hilma af Klint many were drawn to Theosophy, which opened a route towards a new world of spiritual reality, rather than merely depicting visual impressions of the world around them. Had she not kept her abstract work secret she would surely have held the accolade of producing the world’s first abstract paintings. Instead, Kandinsky’s paintings of 1911 would, until recently, come to be recognised as the first abstract works of art. Hilma af Klint did not have any contact with the modern movements of her time, yet she is now generally considered to be the pioneer of abstract art - her first abstract painting created in 1906, pre-dates Kandinsky’s by five years.

Why did Bulgarian artist Christo wrap up the Reichstag like a Parcel? #art #shorts #arthistory Art History School 2023-09-06 | In the realm of art history, one pivotal event in Germany marked the culmination of historical wounds and the dawn of renewal. In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, but the specter of Nazi-era atrocities still haunted the collective memory of Germany. It wasn't until the 24th of June 1995 that a remarkable transformation unfolded before the eyes of German President Roman Herzog and the world, orchestrated by the visionary Bulgarian artist, Christo.On that fateful day, Christo and his artist wife Jeanne-Claude embarked on an audacious artistic endeavour - the wrapping of the Reichstag, Germany's iconic Parliament building. This architectural marvel had endured a tumultuous past, gutted by a mysterious fire in 1933, just prior to Hitler's ascent to power. For decades, it stood as a haunting ruin, bearing witness to a dark chapter in history.The symbolic act of encasing the Reichstag in shimmering fabric became a profound testament to the resilience of the German spirit. It symbolized the nation's determination to shed the remnants of its painful past and emerge anew. The wrapping was a visual metaphor, signifying the healing and reconstruction of a nation scarred by totalitarianism.On the 6th of July 1995, the cloth cocoon was delicately unraveled, unveiling the rebirth of the Reichstag. Reconstruction, organised by the architect Norman Forster, commenced promptly, allowing the German Parliament to once again in 1999, convene within its hallowed halls, just as it had before the Nazis' devastating reign.This masterstroke by Christo stands as one of his most poignant and impactful contemporary art works, encapsulating the power of art to heal wounds, reconcile history, and ignite hope in the hearts of a nation seeking redemption. The work was known as Wrapped Reichstag.Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1 And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

The Greatest Painter of all Time according to Salvador Dali! #art #shorts #arthistory Art History School 2023-08-29 | See more art history videos at @ArtHistorySchoolIn the year 1979, the enigmatic Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali compiled an extraordinary list of what he believed to be the greatest painters in history.He meticulously evaluated each artist in nine distinct categories: technique, inspiration, colour, design, genius, composition, originality, mystery, and authenticity. A maximum of 20 points was allocated to each category.Salvador Dali himself claimed the 5th position in his list, a testament to his exceptional self-awareness and creative prowess. In 4th place, was the legendary Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance polymath whose innovations transcend time. In 3rd spot was the masterful Diego Velazquez, whose groundbreaking techniques left an indelible mark on art history. 2nd position went to the great renaissance master Raphael, whose ethereal works continue to captivate hearts across generations. The pinnacle of artistic excellence, according to Dali's discerning eye, was Johannes Vermeer whose mastery of light and meticulous attention to detail probably earned him the coveted title of Salvador Dali's ultimate artistic luminary.Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1 And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

Artist Georges Braque: How he became the Great Cubist Painter- Art History School Art History School 2023-05-30 | Join us on another episode of our art history channel as we delve into the life, works, and legacy of a true pioneer of modern art Georges Braque. From his early days as a Fauvist, collaborating with Picasso, to his ground breaking role in co-founding Cubism, Braque's artistic trajectory is a testament to innovation and creative daring.In this video, we'll navigate the intricate interplay between Braque's evolving style and the cultural backdrop of his time. Witness his mesmerizing fusion of form and content, as he skilfully navigated the realms of abstraction and representation. We'll explore his profound influence on Cubist principles, dissecting his collaborative efforts with Picasso and the birth of a revolutionary movement that transformed the artistic landscape forever.Georges Braque (1882–1963) stands as one of the seminal figures in 20th-century art, hailed for his transformative impact on the Cubist movement. Born in Argenteuil, France, Braque initially pursued a career in decorative painting before embracing the bold colours of Fauvism, collaborating closely with Pablo Picasso during the early 1900s. However, it was their co-invention of Cubism that catapulted Braque to artistic renown.Braque's ingenious approach to deconstructing and reconstructing forms revolutionized the concept of representation. His "analytical Cubism" sought to depict objects from multiple perspectives in a single composition, challenging traditional notions of space and dimension. His meticulous exploration of geometric shapes, fragmented planes, and earthy colour palettes gave rise to artworks that celebrated abstraction while retaining a sense of connection to reality.The outbreak of World War I temporarily paused Braque's artistic pursuits, but he resumed his creative journey with a renewed vigour post-war. The "synthetic Cubism" phase that followed introduced elements of collage and mixed media, showcasing his versatility and innovation.Throughout his career, Braque's dedication to pushing artistic boundaries left an indelible mark, inspiring generations of artists to rethink the way they perceived and expressed the world around them. His legacy endures as a testament to the power of artistic evolution and imagination.More art history: arthistoryschool.comHow to Draw Videos: paulpriestleyart.comPlease consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1 And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

Explore Otto Dixs Provocative Art: 18+ version - contains Images some may find Disturbing Art History School 2023-02-07 | Otto Dix was a German artist and printmaker who was active during the first half of the 20th century. Born in 1891 in Untermhaus, Germany, Dix was a prolific and versatile painter who produced works in a variety of styles, including Expressionism, New Objectivity, and Surrealism. Despite his early training in academic painting, Dix's paintings often contained a sharp, critical edge that was in stark contrast to the idealized, academic art of the 1930’s in Germany under the Hitler regime. His paintings and prints often depicted the violence and suffering of World War I, as well as the decadence and corruption of German society in the 1920s. Dix's works were banned by the Nazi regime in the 1930s, and he was drafted into the People’s Militia during World War II. After the war, Dix continued to create and exhibit his paintings until his death in 1969. Today, he is considered one of the leading artists of the 20th century and his works can be found in major art museums and collections around the world.#arthistoryPlease consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

Explore the Dreamlike World of Dorothea Tanning: An Artistic Retrospective - Art History School Art History School 2022-09-04 | Dorothea Tanning was an amazing American artist, a pioneer of Surrealism in America and also an author. Learn about the life of surrealist artist Dorothea Tanning in this Dorothea Tanning biography. The American artist Dorothea Tanning, daughter of Swedish émigré parents, was born on 25 August 1910 in Galesburg, Illinois, USA. At the age of sixteen she became a library assistant at the Galesburg Public Library. She was deeply influenced by the books she read and considered the idea of becoming a writer. In 1928 she studied at Knox College, a local liberal arts institution, and in 1930 moved to Chicago where she enrolled at the Chicago Academy of Art, but left 3 weeks later. She was largely self-taught as an artist. In 1936 she visited the exhibition Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and saw works by René Magritte, Max Ernst, Meret Oppenheim, Marcel Duchamp and many others. The surrealist paintings had a profound effect on her. In 1942 she met Max Ernst who was organising, with his wife Peggy Guggenheim, an exhibition of 31 female artists at her Art of this Century Gallery in New York. Ernst selected Tanning’s painting Birthday for the exhibition. Dorothea Tanning’s work often combines a sinister sexuality with a fairy-tale childlike sensibility which is reminiscent of surrealist childhood fantasies and nightmares.Dorothea Tanning and Max Ernst married in October 1946 and moved to Sedona, Arizona, USA. Later, whilst building their house there, Tanning wrote Abyss, a gothic-flavoured, desert adventure short story that became the novel ‘Chasm: A Weekend’ first published in 1949. Around 1955 Tanning’s paintings moved away from meticulously rendered figurative dreamscapes due to her newfound interest in costume and stage design for the.Tanning’s first retrospective exhibition took place in Belgium in 1967. When Ernst died in 1976, aged 84, Tanning was bereft. She published her memoir Birthday in 1986, and in 1994 established the Wallace Stevens Award for poetry. She created her last known paintings in 1998 but she continued to write until her death on 21 January 2012, aged 101.Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

Paul Klee the Playful Genius. A Journey Through the Life and Art of a Visionary! Art History School Art History School 2022-07-04 | Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks! Learn about the life of artist Paul Klee in this Paul Klee biography. Paul Klee was born on the 18th of December 1879 in Muchenbuchsee, near Bern in Switzerland. Encouraged by his parents, he started violin classes at age seven and proved himself to be a very talented musician. He moved to Munich in 1898 to study art at the Academy of Fine Arts with Heinrich Knirr and Franz von Stuck. His first important works, a series of etchings, called ‘Inventions’ were undertaken between 1903–1905 after a visit to Italy. In June 1905 he visited Paris where he saw Impressionist paintings and the work of van Gogh, Cezanne and the Belgian artist, James Ensor. On 15th of September 1906, he married Lily Stumpf. Naturalistic painting didn’t interest him. His aim was for creativity and imagination to determine the outcome of the picture, inspired by the first layers of paint or marks applied to the canvas.Around 1911 he met August Macke and Wassily Kandinsky. His friendship with Franz Marc proved crucial because it was Marc that showed Klee how far abstraction and a visionary approach to content could be taken. In 1914 he visited Tunisia with Louis Moilliet and August Macke and it was in Hammamet that Klee claimed in his diary that his breakthrough to painting in colour had occurred. ‘Colour and I are one.’ Hans Goltz organised a large retrospective exhibition of 362 Paul Klee paintings in his Munich gallery in May 1920. This was Klee’s breakthrough, but despite a guaranteed annual income, he felt it too risky to rely on just selling paintings. So, he accepted an offer to teach at the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany. In 1925 Paul Klee’s pedagogical sketchbook, based on his visual form lectures, was published as a student Bauhaus manual. By the mid-1920s Klee’s reputation had spread far beyond Germany. In 1926 Paul Klee took part in the Surrealist’s first exhibition in Paris and in 1928 he visited Egypt. In March 1930 the Museum of Modern Art in New York, USA presented an exhibition of his work, the institution’s first solo show by a living European artist. In 1933, when Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, Klee was denounced as a "Galician Jew" and a "cultural Bolshevik," and his work derided as "subversive" and "insane." In 1936 Paul Klee was diagnosed with progressive scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease and for over almost a year was almost incapable of working. In April of 1937 17 paintings by Paul Klee were shown at the infamous exhibition of Degenerate Art in Munich. The Nazi’s also confiscated over 100 of his works from public collections in Germany. Paul Klee’s late paintings and drawings are strongly influenced by the harsh distortions of Pablo Picasso’s work of the 1920s and ’30s. Paul Klee died in hospital in Locarno, Switzerland 29th of June 1940. In 2005 Zentrum Paul Klee Museum opened as an independent institution and research centre containing around 40% of Paul Klee’s entire output.Interested in DRAWING?

Discover the Pioneering Spirit of Amrita Sher-Gil: Indias Great Modernist - Art History School Art History School 2022-04-28 | Amrita Sher-Gil was a true pioneer of Indian Modern art. She explored female themes and has become one of Indian's greatest painters. Learn about the life and painting of Indian artist Amrita Sher-Gil in this Amrita Sher-Gil biography. The Indian artist Amrita Sher-Gil was born in Budapest in Hungary on the 30th January 1913. Her parents had met in London and married in 1912 in Lahore, India, which today is in Pakistan. Her father Umrao Singh Sher-Gil was a Sikh aristocrat from the Punjab, India, a Persian and Sanskrit scholar and pioneer photographer. Her mother Marie Antoinette Gottesmann was a red headed Hungarian Jewish singer.She had a relatively privileged upbringing and at the age of eight Sher-Gil started formal art lessons with a Major Whitmarsh, but it wasn’t long before she refused to follow his very formal drawing instruction.She first enrolled at the Grande Chaumière Academy in Paris in 1929 at the age of 16, under the watchful eye of painter Pierre Valliant who did much to improve her drawings. Later in October 1929 she attended Lucien Simon’s classes at the prestigious Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. He encouraged her and allowed her to attend his classes despite her being underage. Checkout my video of Indian Artist: M F Husain youtu.be/OsVQKR918RQShergil enthusiastically embraced Indian culture, deciding to wear only saris and focused on painting India’s poor, particularly the everyday lives of women. She painted them at the market, at weddings, and undertaking menial domestic chores. The paintings were infused with melancholy and loneliness, but there is a raw honesty about them. At a time when most artists portrayed women as content and compliant, Sher-Gil’s treatment of female subjects was singularly unique, revealing their dignity and silent resolve. Her paintings are not a romanticised view of the poor. Her most famous paintings are Two Women and Self Portrait as a Tahitian.Amrita Sher-Gil’s legacy is unparalleled, in both her life and art, she was a woman both within and ahead of her time and became one of India's most compelling artists of the 20th century.

Mary Cassatt: The Life of an Artist: Art History School Art History School 2021-02-10 | Mary Stevenson Cassatt was an American artist born in Allegheny City now part of Pittsburgh, USA on 22 May 1844 one of six children born to Robert and Katherine Cassatt. The family were wealthy, and her mother Katherine was a strong believer in educating women to be knowledgeable and socially active. So, it is not surprising that Mary Cassatt depicted the 19th century New Woman from the woman's perspective. She studied art initially in the US, but spent most of her life painting in France, returning occasionally to America to see friends. In Paris she met the artist Edgar Degas and they remained close friends with for the rest of his life. She became a member of the Impressionist group and helped develop Impressionism alongside Claude Monet, Eduard Manet and Camille Pissarro. Although she never married, she was enchanted by her nieces and nephews and excelled in painting children, who dominate her subject matter. She is best known for her paintings of mother and child groups and fashionable portraits and in 1893 she created her most famous painting, The Child's Bath. Her early work with the impressionists is probably her best and is sometimes known as the painter and poet of the nursery. Her paintings are filled with light and joy, perhaps, not what you might expect from the brush of a strong-minded and somewhat stubborn woman. She was at her best with other artists who she saw as her intellectual equals. A strong supporter of the votes for women campaign, she lived into her 80’s but unfortunately, her life did not end well.Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

He had his first art exhibition at 18 and by 1941 New York’s Downtown gallery was exhibiting his paintings. He was one of the first black artists to be represented by a major gallery. He tended to work by creating a series of paintings on a theme; his most important series are the Life of Toussaint L’Ouverture, the black revolutionary general and founder of the Republic of Haiti. The Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman Series that explored the anti-slavery movement, and his most famous being, The Migration Series, inspired by the African-American Great Migration, the movement of 6 million black Americans out of the rural Southern United States to the industrial cities in the North and Midwest that occurred between 1916 and 1970’s.

Toulouse Lautrec: The Life of an Artist - Art History School Art History School 2020-12-09 | The French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born in Albi, in the Midi-Pyrenees region of France, on 24 November 1864. He was the firstborn child of Count Alphonse and Countess Adele de Toulouse-Lautrec. They were an aristocratic family - descendants of the Counts of Toulouse with an ancestry stretching back almost a thousand years. Ironically, Toulouse Lautrec’s family background was the opposite of the poor, working class life he would lead in Paris as an artist. Yet Lautrec became one of the most influential post-impressionist artists of the late 19th century. Famous for his humanistic portrayals of sex workers that reveal an uncommon sensitivity, perhaps he was motivated by a sense of identification with the socially marginalized, due to his own physical issues. And also, for his highly individualized poster portrayals of Montmartre entertainers, cabaret dancers and singers such as Jane Avril and Yvette Guilbert. His famous paintings have a great sense of immediacy, but they were carefully prepared. Lautrec always carried a small sketchbook wherever he went. The thousands of rapid drawings and jotting that survive tell us he drew frequently, and how he developed his great paintings from quick visual impressions. He created just 30 posters, all lithographs, all of which are now regarded as iconic images. For the first time in history, he elevated the medium of advertising to high art, instinctively grasping the concept of celebrity and by interweaving commercial and fine art prefigured many of the ideas of Andy Warhol.Although Toulouse Lautrec produced many wonderfully inventive artworks, his short life was also the story of a battle with disability, ridicule, disease and alcoholism.Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

Grant Woods American Gothic Explained : The Story behind Great Paintings Art History School 2020-08-12 | Grant Wood’s painting ‘American Gothic’ a true reflection of American rural life or simply a satire? What is the story behind this great painting? I wonder what your view will be? The painting was inspired by a visit to Eldon in Iowa, USA and was completed in 1930. Its style is heavily influenced by the Flemish Renaissance painters such as Jan Van Eyck. ‘American Gothic’ became the masterpiece of Regionalism a style of painting associated with mid-west America in the 1930’s In 1928 Grant Wood made a trip to Munich in Germany and saw the paintings of 15th and 16th-century German and Flemish masters. He was amazed at their realism and attention to detail. ‘American Gothic’ was the result of this newfound passion. The painting brought him almost instant fame and provided him with the platform to promote American Regionalism to new aspiring artists. The two models for the painting are interesting. The man is Grant Wood’s dentist, 62-year-old, Byron McKeeby. The woman is his sister Nan who replaced his original choice, his mother Hattie, because he was concerned, she wouldn’t be able to cope with posing for long periods. However, the rise of abstraction in the 1940’s led to a decline in interest in Grant Wood’s work. He died of cancer in 1942 aged 50.Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

Georges Seurat - Sunday Afternoon on the Grande Jatte Explained: The Story behind Great Paintings Art History School 2020-07-29 | Georges Seurat, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte. You have probably been looking at this painting incorrectly, watch and find out why? Georges Seurat the French painter of A Sunday Afternoon on Le Grande Jatte was a Pointillist painter who died when only 31 years old. The artist was born in Paris, France in 1859. This video discusses the story behind the creation of the painting from the initial sketches and preliminary oil paintings, to Seurat's imaginative use of geometry. It explains what Pointillism or Divisionism as Seurat called it, actually is. It took Georges Seurat 2 years to paint the picture completing the painting in 1886. It was exhibited first at the Maison Doree and then at the Salon des Independents later in 1886. The painting was sold to Frederic Clay Bartlett for $20,000 in the 1920's and donated to the Art Institute of Chicago where it remains today.The Grande Jatte is actually a small island in the middle of the river Seine to the west of Paris as it was in 1886. The figures look very static and the couple on the right of the painting seem too big, but this is all part of Georges Seurat's plan. The geometry of the painting was very carefully worked out. The end of the video reveals the painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte's, great secret. You'll never look at the painting in quite the same way again.Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

Explore the Magic of L.S. Lowry: The Artist who Painted Northern England - Art History School Art History School 2020-06-10 | You think life is tough now? I wonder what you'll think after watching my video on Laurence Stephen Lowry. English artist L.S Lowry was born on 1st November 1887 in Manchester, in northern England. Lowry was an outsider and a loner who suffered from Asperger Syndrome, a jovial, self-effacing individual, who was often depressed and very lonely. He never married, found relationships almost impossible and the London art establishment never took him very seriously. From childhood Lowry loved drawing and doodling, but as far as his mother was concerned there was simply no question of him being allowed to be an artist. In 1905 he was an evening student at Manchester School of Art and was inspired by the French tutor of drawing, Adolphe Valette. The 1930’s were a struggle, he had no emotional support at home and despite numerous exhibitions in Canada, Paris, Manchester, he sold very few paintings. L S Lowry was 52 when his mother died. He stayed in the same house, alone and lonely for the next 9 years. It was his sanctuary, full of cobwebs and splattered paint. By 1948, he was earning good money as a painter, so he moved house to the affluent village of Mottram-in-Longdendale, near Manchester. In 1976 he was given a one-man exhibition at the Royal Academy in London. This was a major achievement, as very few living artists are given this accolade. But he died on 23 February 1976 six months before the show opened. It was a major success and was one of the most popular Royal Academy shows of the 20th century.He was famous for his ‘matchstick men’ paintings. A large collection of L S Lowry paintings can be see at The Lowry, in Salford, Manchester.Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

Paul Cézanne: The Life of an Artist - Art History School Art History School 2020-02-17 | PLEASE NOTE: TYPO - birthday displayed should be 1839 not 1869. This video covers the life of the great Post Impressionist painter and French artist, Paul Cézanne. Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks! Paul Cézanne was born on the 19th of January 1839 in Aix en Provence in France, the eldest of three children. Cézanne’s father was an authoritarian figure, unlike his son, who was indecisive and lacked self-confidence. During 1863 and 1864 Cézanne worked regularly at the Academy Suisse in Paris where he met Renoir, Monet and Sisley. He applied to the prestigious Ecole des Beaux Art, but was rejected because they felt his paintings were overworked. In 1869 he met Hortense Fiquet, a 19-year old bookbinder, who would become his lover. Camille Pissarro advised him to remove dark colours from his palette, not to paint with black, but only with the three primary colours and their derivatives. Cézanne took his advice and the creation of his dark expressive, intuitive paintings came to an end. The first exhibition of the Impressionists was held at the photographer Nadar's studio in 1874, Cézanne showed three paintings. Monet was not impressed and described Cézanne, ‘as a bricklayer who paints with a trowel’. Two years later he showed 16 paintings at the third Impressionist exhibition, but after a hail of criticism decided not show with the Impressionists again. Cézanne rejected the Impressionist theories of light, he wasn’t interested in momentary light effects and reflections, they were of secondary importance to him. His goal was to make things look permanent and solid, he achieved this by creating a balanced composition, the result of careful calculation, reflection and logic. On the 22nd of October 1906 he died of pneumonia and was buried at the San Pierre cemetery in Aix en Provence. Interested in DRAWING?

Persecution, Exile, Confrontation; Marc Chagall the Painter of Love and Light - Art History School Art History School 2019-12-18 | Why is Marc Chagall known as the painter of Love? Chagall an orthodox Jew, was born in Vitebsk, Russia (now Belarus) on the 7th of July 1887 as Moshe Segal. He was the eldest of 9 children. In 1910 Chagall moved to Paris, where he changed his name to the more French sounding Marc Chagall and in 1911 moved into his own studio in La Ruche, the legendary Parisian artist colony. On 25th of July 1915 Marc Chagall married Bella Rosenfeld in Vitebsk. By 1919 Marc Chagall had set up the Vitebsk School of Fine Arts with artists Kazimir Malevich and El Lissitzky. But things did not go well and Chagall soon upped and left. Shortly afterwards, Malevich renamed the Art School the Suprematist Academy. By the 1930's Marc Chagall’s paintings were selling well. In 1933 a number of Chagall’s paintings were publicly burnt by the Nazis, outside of the Mannheim Art Gallery. In 1937, on the orders of the Nazi regime, all Chagall’s works were removed from German museums, three were shown in the notorious Degenerate Art Exhibition in 1937. Shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, Chagall moved his family to the United States. In New York Pierre Matisse, the son of artist Henri Matisse, organised Chagall’s first exhibition in America, in November 1941, at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York. In the late 1940’s exhibitions were held of Chagall’s work in New York, London, Zurich and Bern in Switzerland. They were all hugely successful. But Marc Chagall longed to return to France, in 1948 he left America for good. In 1950 he moved to Vence in the South of France and intermittently met up with Matisse and Picasso both of whom had studios nearby. In 1951 he married Valentina Brodsky. Their marriage gave him new energy later he visited Chartres Cathedral to study medieval stained-glass window painting. This inspired him and in 1959 he created stained glass windows for the north apse of Metz Cathedral in France. 1964 saw Marc Chagall complete the window of the Good Samaritan for the memorial to John D Rockefeller Junior and the Peace window for the United Nations building in New York. Marc Chagall died at his home in St Paul de Vence at the age of 97, on the 28th of March 1985. Interested in DRAWING?

Visions of Nature and Humanity: The Artistic Legacy of Ferdinand Hodler - Art History School Art History School 2019-09-09 | The Swiss artist Ferdinand Holder was born in Bern in Switzerland in 1853, the eldest of 6 children. The family was poor and at the age of 9 young Ferdinand Hodler worked to help his stepfather paint commercial signs. In 1871 aged 18, Ferdinand Hodler travelled to Geneva to study to become an artist under painter Barthelemy Menn. His painting at this time consisted mainly of Swiss landscapes, figure compositions and portraits, painted in a very vigorous realistic style, much influenced by the French Realist painter, Gustave Courbet. However, from 1890 his work evolved, absorbing influences from many genres, particularly Symbolism and Art Nouveau. Ferdinand Hodler filled his canvases with monumental and simplified flat figures, often displaying ritualised gestures, and composed with rhythmic and repetitive lines, forms and colours. An artistic style he referred to as Parallelism. Ferdinand Hodler was married twice, but in 1908 he met Valentine Gode-Darel, who became his mistress. He was passionately in love with her, but in 1913 she was diagnosed with cancer. Hodler spent many hours by her bedside drawing, and this resulted in a remarkable series of paintings which documented her gradual decline. In 1908 the Swiss National Bank commissioned Ferdinand Hodler to create two designs for their new paper currency. Controversially, he chose not to create images of famous men, but a wood cutter and a reaper instead. Both notes eventually appeared in circulation in 1911. Ferdinand Hodler died on the 19th of May 1918 in Geneva.

Haystacks to Water Lilies: A Film of the Life and Art of the Impressionist Claude Monet. Art History School 2018-01-10 | The French Impressionist painter Claude Monet was born in Paris in 1840 and showed great talent as an artist even when aa young child. After meeting Eugene Boudin, a local landscape artist, he introduced him to painting outdoors, or plein air painting, which become the cornerstone of Monet's work. In 1872 he painted a picture of Le Havre harbour using very loose brushstrokes this picture known as 'Impression, Sunrise' gave the name to the movement, Impressionism.Claude Monet became a financial and critical success during the late 1880s and 1890s. Around this time he started painting in series, such s the Haystacks which became very popular. He spent his last years painting at Giverny, painting in the gardens that he helped create. His water lily paintings along side his paintings of the Japanese-style bridge over his pond at Giverny are amongst his most famous works. In 1918, Claude Monet donated 12 of his waterlily paintings to the nation of France to celebrate the Armistice, these paintings are now displayed permanently in the Orangerie in Paris.I created this documentary film of the Life of Claude Monet (35 minutes in length) for use in colleges, art societies and art groups. The film covers all aspects of the famous artist Claude Monet's life, from his initial struggles to get to art school in Paris and earn his father's good wishes, to the birth of Impressionism and his crowning success of his final years painting his waterlily paintings at Giverny. The film also looks at his relationship with his dealers, especially Paul Durand Ruel and his struggle to sell enough paintings to support his children. A number of Claude Monet's paintings, including his Haystack and his Japanese bridge pictures are discussed and his later years spent developing his garden and lake at Giverny which would provide the inspiration for his water lily paintings. Many elements in the film are shot in France in the places in which the artist Monet himself painted.This video is a great way for students and other people to learn about the life of Impressionist painter Claude Monet Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

Vincent van Gogh the Maverick Genius - A Story of Passion, Tragedy, and Legacy Art History School 2017-11-28 | Vincent Van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853 in Zundert in the southern Netherlands, the son of a pastor. In 1869, he took his first job, working in the Hague branch of the international art dealing firm Goupil’s. During this time he began to write to his younger brother Theo, a correspondence which continued for the rest of Van Gogh's life and gives up such insights into his life.Van Gogh's moved to London where he briefly worked as a teacher. Later he moved to Paris, again working at Goupil’s but he was dismissed in 1876 for lack of effort. He in finally became deeply involved in Christianity, and worked briefly as a preacher in the Borinage, a mining community in southern Belgium.After failing at other occupations he decided, in 1880, at the age of 27, to become an artist. He travelled around the Netherlands, teaching himself to draw and paint made possible with the financial support of Theo. In 1886, Van Gogh moved to Paris, where he met Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Pissarro and Gauguin, with whom he became friends. His style changed and became looser and lighter under the influence of Impressionism.In 1888, Van Gogh moved to Provence in southern France, where he painted his famous series 'Sunflowers'. Gauguin joined him but they did not get on well. Gauguin criticised Van Gogh’s work and as a result he attacked Gauguin with a razor. Not long afterwards Van Gogh cut off his ear and took it to a local brothel in Arles.Time spent in the asylum in Arles, southern France followed where he swung between periods of inertia, depression and incredibly concentrated artistic activity. He was released in late 1890 as ‘cured’ but on the 27 July 1890, Van Gogh shot himself in a field near the church in Auver sur Oise, north of Paris. He died in the Auberge Ravoux, a small bar in Auver sur Oise two days later.I created this documentary film of the Life of Van Gogh (35 minutes in length) for use in art societies and art groups. The film covers all the major aspects of Vincent Van Gogh's life from his early life in England, his relationship with his brother Theo, through being a preacher to eventually, at the age of 27 , becoming an artist. The film covers all the important elements of his artistic life, including, his moves to Paris and Arles, his most famous paintings including the painting of the sunflowers, his short and turbulent association with Paul Gauguin which contributed to the incident that led to him cutting off of his ear and his move to the asylum at Saint Remy. The video also covers Van Gogh's move to Auver sur Oise, his time spent with Dr Gachet and his final demise in July 1890. Loving Vincent, I wanted to make a special effort to do justice to this very famous artist.Please consider subscribing to this channel: youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1And supporting this channel on Patreon, patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

Explore the Enchanted World of Henri Rousseau: An Artistic Odyssey Through the Jungle of Imagination Art History School 2017-10-25 | Henri Rousseau was a self-taught French painter known for his vibrant and fantastical jungle scenes. Born in Laval in 1844, Rousseau initially worked as a toll collector before taking up painting in his spare time. He eventually gained recognition as an artist, and his work was exhibited in Paris alongside the Impressionists.Rousseau's unique style was characterized by bold colors, flattened forms, and an imaginative approach to nature. His depictions of lush jungles and exotic animals were inspired by botanical gardens, popular literature, and images in magazines. While his work was often dismissed by critics during his lifetime, it has since become highly regarded and influential.Today, Rousseau is celebrated as a pioneer of modern art and an inspiration to many artists who followed in his footsteps. His paintings can be found in major museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. In 1885 Henri Rousseau exhibited his first pictures at the Salon des Refuses, Paris they had technical problems but have a naïve charm about them. His ‘paintings Surprised’, Old Junior’s Cart and ‘Scout attacked by a Tiger ‘are amongst is most important works.He died a pauper in 1910 and was buried in a pauper’s grave and only 7 people attended his funeral. After money raised by Picasso he was reburied in 1912 and again in 1947 in his home town of Laval.
