Courbet
The Artist's Studio
1855
Realist

Hint 1

Courbet shows himself as a painter
Painting a landscape (accessible)
Unidealized nude = history is observing the painter, the painter is turning away from history.
Large scale makes it seem like a history painting but in fact it is an anti-history painting.
Historical figures = roster of intellectuals of his time
Intellectually secure on right, poor and dispossessed at left.
Done without precision
Line = intellectual command / self-discipline but Realists wanted to foster a revolution.
1855 Paris World Fair rejected this work while accepting eleven of his other ones... Courbet started his own exhibition which was a forerunner of the Salon des Refuses.

Gauguin
Self-Portrait with Halo

Hint 26

Rejection of anything idealized
Unnatural colors juxtaposed to enliven us emotionally
Person is no longer constrained
No longer exists in a realm with concern
Presented as a symbol, not 3D

Front 27

Back 27

Gauguin
Les Miserables (for Vincent)
1888

Hint 27

We can see the roughness of the physiognomy, each brushstroke is clearly done.
Removed from a constant and stable presence.

Front 28

Back 28

Gauguin
The Vision After the Sermon (Jacob Wrestling with the Angel)
1888

Hint 28

Making the invisible visible
Not depicted in a naturalistic way
Roughness, immediacy
Takes place on a blood red background
Symbolism of mind as opposed to the reality of the mind
Brown divides naturalism with illusion

Front 29

Back 29

Gauguin
Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?
1897

Hint 29

Summarizes the philosophy of salvation.
Blue and yellow atmospherics of exoticism.
Trying to conjure up a new Garden of Eden
The painter becomes the new philosopher inviting us to answer by going into the primitive world of the imagination.
Primitivism: thinks that life was more moral during the early stages of civilization and has declined since then.
