Giovanni Battista Piranesi – [Italian Neoclassical Engraver, 1720-1778]
1. Roman Archtiecture
*capriccio - A type of landscape painting that places particular works of architecture in an unusual setting.
Piranesi, Giovanni Battista - Italian etcher, archaeologist and architect.
He was famous for his poetic views of Rome and also his fantastic imaginary interiors.
Trained in Venice as an engineer and architect, his studies had included perspective and stage design.
Piranesi's image was a thoroughly romanticized one, with effects of scale exploited to make the buildings appear larger and grander and exaggerating the contrasts of light and shade to invest them with drama.
Piranesi was also an outspoken architectural polemicist who believed absolutely in the supremacy of Roman over Greek architecture

*(Impressionism is a light, spontaneous manner of painting which began in France as a reaction against the restrictions and conventions of the dominant Academic art. Its naturalistic and down-to-earth treatment of its subject matter, most commonly landscapes, has its roots in the French Realism of Camille Corot and others.
The movement's name was derived from Monet's early work, Impression: Sunrise, which was singled out for criticism by Louis Leroy upon its exhibition.
The hallmark of the style is the attempt to capture the subjective impression of light in a scene.
The core of the earliest Impressionist group was made up of Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Others associated with this period were Camille Pissarro, Frederic Bazille, Edgar Degas, Gustave Caillebotte, Edouard Manet, and the American Mary Cassatt.
The Impressionist style was probably the single most successful and identifiable "movement" ever, and is still widely practiced today. But as an intellectual school it faded towards the end of the 19th century, branching out into a variety of successive movements which are generally grouped under the term Post-Impressionism.)

*Paul Cezanne - [French Post-Impressionist Painter, 1839-1906]
7. Paul Cezanne – La Maison du Pendu (the house of the hanged man) 1873
*(Post-Impressionism is an umbrella term that encompasses a variety of artists who were influenced by Impressionism but took their art in other directions.
There is no single well-defined style of Post-Impressionism, but in general it is less idyllic and more emotionally charged than Impressionist work.)
*Pierre Auguste Renoir - [French Impressionist Painter, 1841-1919]

*Claude Monet - [French Impressionist Painter, 1840-1926]

10. Pissarro – Le Boulevard des Italiens, Morning Sun, 1897 oil on canvas
*Pointillism is a form of painting in which tiny dots of primary-colors are used to generate secondary colors. It is an offshoot of Impressionism, and is usually categorized as a form of Post-Impressionism.
Maurice Prendergast - [Canadian-born American Impressionist Painter, 1858-1924]
11. Prendergast – The Grand Canal, Venice, 1898-99
*Julian Alden Weir - [American Tonalist/Impressionist Painter, 1852-1919]
12. Weir – The Bridge: Nocturne (queensboro bridge) 1910
*Tonalism is a style of painting in which landscapes are depicted in soft light and shadows, often as if through a colored or misty veil. Imported to the U.S. by American painters inspired by Barbizon School landscapes, it was a forerunner to the many schools and colonies of American Impressionism which arose in the first part of the 20th century.
The most influential practitioners of the style were George Inness, whose roots were in landscape painting, and James McNeill Whistler, whose approach was primarily aesthetic, aiming for elegance and harmony in the colors of a painting.
Tonalism's soft-edged realism also had an influence on the photography of the early 20th century - specifically on Alfred Stieglitz and his circle.
Lyonel Feininger - [American-born German Cubist/Expressionist Painter, 1871-1956]
Feininger – Aquaduct, circa 1930's
*Cubism was developed between about 1908 and 1912 in a collaboration between Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. Their main influences are said to have been Tribal Art (although Braque later disputed this) and the work of Paul Cezanne. The movement itself was not long-lived or widespread, but it began an immense creative explosion which resonated through all of 20th century art.
The key concept underlying Cubism is that the essence of an object can only be captured by showing it from multiple points of view simultaneously.
*Expressionism is a style in which the intention is not to reproduce a subject accurately, but instead to portray it in such a way as to express the inner state of the artist. The movement is especially associated with Germany, and was influenced by such emotionally-charged styles as Symbolism, Fauvism, and Cubism.
*Georgia O'Keefe - [American Painter, 1887-1986]
14. O'Keefe – Gate to Adobe Church 1929
*Grant Wood - [American Regionalist Painter, 1891-1942]
15. Wood – The midnight Ride of Paul Revere, 1931
(An American term, *Regionalism refers to the work of a number of rural artists, mostly from the Midwest, who came to prominance in the 1930s.
Not being part of a coordinated movement, Regionalist artists often had an idiosyncratic style or point of view. What they shared, among themselves and among other American Scene painters, was a humble, anti-modernist style and a desire to depict everyday life. However their rural conservatism tended to put them at odds with the urban and leftist Social Realists of the same era.
The three best-known regionalists were John Steuart Curry, Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood, the painter of the best-known and one of the greatest works of American art, American Gothic.

*American Scene Painting is a general term encompassing the mainstream realist and antimodernist style of painting popular in the United States during the Great Depression. A reaction against the European Modernism, it was seen as an attempt to define a uniquely American style of art.
The American Scene basically consisted of two main schools, the rurally-oriented *Regionalism, and the urban and political *Social Realism.
*Richard Estes - [American Photorealist Painter, born in 1932]
22. Estes – Drugstore 1970 oil on canvas
*Photorealism is a movement which began in the late 1960's, in which scenes are painted in a style closely resembling photographs. The subject matter is frequently banal and without particular interest; the true subject of a photorealist work is the way in which we interpret photographs and paintings in order to create an internal representation of the scene depicted.
The leading members of the Photorealist movement are Richard Estes and Chuck Close. Estes specializes in street scenes with elaborate reflections in window-glass; Close does enormous portraits of usually expressionless faces.
