FAUVISM-
HENRY
MATISSE
December 31, 1869 - November 3, 1954
Henry Matisse was the leader of the Fauvism movement
in Paris.
Because this new style of art was so WILD, UNTAMED,
and SHOCKING, artists that painted this way were called
“LES FAUVES” which means…
“WILD BEAST” in the French language.
Fauvism was about creating a world of feeling, form, and
spirit using brilliant, splashy colors.
Matisse was probably the greatest colorist of the
twentieth century.
He loved simple contrasting colors and believed
they could tell stories.
For Example,
Matisse often used the following color key:
BLUE=truth or heaven
ORANGE=love or gentleness
RED=excitement or fire
GREEN=growth or change

PABLO PICASSO
October 25, 1881 – April 8, 1973
Pablo Picasso is considered one of the most famous
Influential artists of the 20th century.
Picasso grew up in Spain and later went to school and lived in Paris, France.
As a child he showed incredible artistic talent and was considered a child
prodigy. By the time Picasso was 19 years old he was a fully trained professional
painter.
In Paris he lived very poor, simple life while painting over 200 works
of art. These paintings showed his sadness over what he saw and felt about
the poor lives around him. This was his blue period (1900-1904) and these
paintings on the themes of loneliness and despair. He used primarily
the color blue to communicate these themes.
Later, he moved to a style of painting that stressed
warmer colors and moods called the Rose Period.
These paintings were of clowns and performers at the
circus.
They were much happier than those from the Blue
Period.
Self-Portrait (BLUE PERIOD)
Acrobat and Harlequin (ROSE PERIOD)
NEXT, he began to paint pictures that looked more like puzzles with pieces all out of order. This style of painting was called
cubism. Cubist artists tried to create a new way of seeing things in art. Henry Matisse was also a cubist artist and both,
Picasso and Matisse where good friends.
Picasso tried to show the models he
painted from all sides at once, not just
from one normal view. He might show
a woman with her eyes facing the right
but her nose turned to the left. Her
basic body shape would be changed
into cubes or square shapes facing
various directions at once. She might
be put together like a jigsaw puzzle or
a broken mirror.

WHAT IS POP ART??????
Pop Art - An art movement and style that
had its origins in England in the 1950s and
made its way to the United States during
the 1960s. Pop artists have focused
attention upon familiar images of the
popular culture such as billboards, comic
strips, magazine advertisements, and
supermarket products.
POP ART comes from the word “POPULAR”.
Pop art is art about what is popular at the time.
When people first started seeing POP art
many of them where shocked, and couldn’t
believe serious artists like Andy Warhol would
make art of such ordinary objects. He was
simply creating art about things that were
important or familiar in everyday life.
Warhol’s paintings and screen prints
often started with a photograph. Many
of these paintings and prints show
repeated images colored in different
ways. They are usually brightly colored
and have simple strong shapes that
really stand out.
