In order to understand the
development of art we must
first look at the movement of
people across the world

happened at different
times across the world,
• This time in human
history is divided into 3
separate time periods
Increased trade gave rise to Italian city-states & a wealthy middle class of bankers &
merchants emerged. They then started patronizing art and artists.

KEY IDEAS
• Romanticism is heavily influenced by a spirit of individuality and a freedom
of expression unique up until this time.
• Romantics enjoy the sublime in nature and the revolutionary in politics.
• Romantic painters explore the unconscious world of dreams and
fantasies.
• A new art form called photography is invented; its immediacy
makes it an
overnight sensation.
• Architecture revives historical forms, especially from the Middle
Ages.
• The romantic artist was a troubled genius, deeply affected by all around
him or her; temperamental, critical, and always exhausted.
• Seeking pleasure in things of greatest refinement or adventures of
audacious daring, the Romantic was a product of extremes of human
endeavor.

inspire many nationalist movement.
• The artwork of this movement is not linked by common artistic style
but rather by the following characteristics:
• A desire to express personal emotions
• A link to the ideas of Rousseau who rejected reason in favor of intuition
• A renewed link to the mysteries of religion and faith
• Inspiration taken from medieval art, literature and the beauty of nature, including:

CHARACTERISTICS OF ROMAN PAINTING
• Artists, were caught up in European and American revolutions. The
fight for Greek independence was particularly galvanizing for
European intellectuals. Political paintings became important,
expressing the artists solidarity with social movement or political
position. Gros, Delacroix and Goya are among many who create a
memorable political compositions.
• Even in landscape painting had a political agenda. No longer
content to paint scenes for their beauty or artistic engagement,
landscape painters needed to make a contemporary statement.

• A concept is an idea or
thought, so the term
conceptual art means
literally ‘idea art’ – or
art about ideas.
• Art is the which the
idea of the work is
more important than
the work itself
Mel
•Their chief claim -
that the articulation
of an artistic idea
suffices as a work of
art –
•So drastically simplified,
it might seem to many
people that what passes
for Conceptual art is not
in fact "art" at all
•The fact that the idea
behind the work of art is
more important, means
that the possibilities in the
world of art are limitless
Conceptualism
rejects
questioning
‘traditional’what
forms
art can
of art-
be!
•Conceptualism took
myriad forms, such as
performances, happenings,
and ephemera.
•From the mid-1960s
through the mid-1970s
Conceptual artists
produced works and
writings that completely
rejected standard ideas
of art.
•Ex: hierarchy of art
genres, subjects,
aesthetics, expression,
skill and marketability
were all irrelevant
