Slide 5
Ran through the 1840s, 1850s, and 1860s Central Figure: Gustave
Courbet (1819-1877) Courbet was influenced by the innovations of
Corot in terms of the play of light on shadows and peripheral
vision His aim was to make an objective and unprejudiced record of
the customs, ideas, and appearances of contemporary French
society
Slide 6
COURBETS THE STONE BREAKERS Courbet painted 2 men as he had
seen them working beside the road.
Slide 7
COURBETS THE STONE BREAKERS The work is LIFE SIZE 5ft x 8ft Can
tell the work is laborous
Slide 8
COURBETS A BURIAL AT ORNANS Painted as he saw it no one posed
or arranged Obscure, unknown people
Slide 9
JEAN-FRANCOIS MILLET Millet (1814-1875) Belonged to the
Barbizon School, which focused upon a realistic-Romantic vision of
landscape Typically used peasants as his subject matter
Slide 10
JEAN-FRANCOIS MILLET He exalted the honest, simple life and
work on the land Determined to show the harsh reality of life His
worked was viewed as anti-industrial
Slide 11
MILLETS WOMAN BAKING BREAD The peasant emerges as an heroic
figure The peasant women has added height and dominance thanks to
the painters point of view Ordinary woman doing an ordinary
thing
DAUMIERS THE THIRD CLASS CARRIAGE Shows the interior of a
large, horse-drawn bus in Paris
Slide 15
DAUMIERS THE THIRD CLASS CARRIAGE The viewer is in the seat
opposite a grandmother, her daughter, and two grandchildren
Slide 16
DAUMIERS THE THIRD CLASS CARRIAGE They form a strong
compositional triangle that contrasts with the people behind them,
but theyre still not posed
Slide 17
EDOUARD MANET Manet (1832-1883) Strove to paint only what the
eye can see His works go beyond a mere reflection of reality to a
larger artistic reality One which suggests that a painting has an
internal logic different from the logic of familiar reality Manet
liberated the painters art from competition with the camera
Slide 18
MANETS LUNCHEON ON THE GRASS Realism, but leading to
Impressionism
Slide 19
MANETS LUNCHEON ON THE GRASS Manet sought to speak in a new
voice
Slide 20
MANETS LUNCHEON ON THE GRASS Shocked the public (female nude
while men dressed) dream like
Slide 21
MANETS LUNCHEON ON THE GRASS Ordinary people Manets model, his
brother, and the sculptor Leenhof
Slide 22
MANETS LUNCHEON ON THE GRASS Took reality and put it in a
mythical setting with mythical touches (nudity)
Slide 23
IMPRESSIONISM Impressionism: a new way of seeing reality
through color and motion, style based on an understanding of the
interrelated mechanisms of the camera (new technology) and the eye
These painters tried to outdo photography Impressionists emphasized
the presence of color within shadows Vision consists of the result
of light and color making an impression on the retina
Slide 24
IMPRESSIONISM Characteristics: Pleasant, comfortable scenes
Painted outdoors Still ordinary people doing ordinary things, but
PLEASANT things Brushstrokes equalized across the canvas Forms and
objects best appear when the viewer is at a certain distance
Slide 25
IMPRESSIONISM The style lasted about 15 years in its purest
form Profoundly influenced all painting that followed Working
outside, the impressionists concentrated on the effects of natural
light on objects and atmosphere Their experiments resulted in a
profoundly different vision of the world around them
Slide 26
IMPRESSIONISM For them, the painted canvas was a material
covered with pigments (small color patches) which together, create
lively, vibrant images The subjects painted are impressions of
landscapes, rivers, streets, cafes, theatres, and so on Claude
Monet brought impressionism to its birth
Slide 27
CLAUDE MONET Not to be confused with Manet Monet (1840-1926)
Monet tried to find an art in modern life by recording everyday
themes with on-the- spot, objective observations Had two aims: (1)
representation of contemporary subject matter and (2) optical truth
(the way colors and textures really appear to the eye)
Slide 28
CLAUDE MONET Monets paintings reflect an innocent joy in the
world around him and intensely positive view of life He sought to
bring realism to his peak (still ordinary people doing ordinary
things, just in a different direction) His work encompasses
scientific observation, the study of optics, and other aspects of
human perception
Slide 29
MONETS ON THE SEINE AT BENNECOURT Conveys a pleasant picture of
the times, an optimistic view rather than the often pessimistic
outlook of the realists
Slide 30
MONETS ON THE SEINE AT BENNECOURT Lack of atmospheric or linear
perspective brings the entire painting to the foreground no deep
space
Slide 31
MONETS ON THE SEINE AT BENNECOURT The scene is bright, alive,
and pleasant were comfortable
Slide 32
MONETS SERIES Monet painted several series (groups of paintings
that work together or have a common theme) Initially did them as a
way of studying light and shadow Most famous: the Water Lilies
Slide 33
MONETS WATER LILLIES A series of approximately 250 paintings
The paintings depict Monets flower garden and were the main focus
of his artist production the last 30 years of his life (Many were
painted while he suffered from cataracts)

Slide 34
MARY CASSATT Cassatt (1845-1926) Came to Paris from
Philadelphia It was her wealth in the US that helped the
impressionists gain exposure and acceptance in this country
Slide 35
CASSATTS THE CHILDS BATH Depicts her favorite subjects women
and children Cassatts brushwork is far less obvious than that in
other impressionist works Helped conventional viewers understand
the work and relate closer to the scene Painted in clear, bright
colors
Slide 36
CASSATTS THE CHILDS BATH The subjects do NOT make eye contact
with the viewer The forms are purposeful, and they awaken interest,
rather than emotion Less brushstrokes and clearly not painting
outdoors but still a very pleasant comfortable scene Realism is
laborious!
