SUMMARY CHARTS for TEST 1

STYLES, ARTISTS & their WORKS

Testing is a part of learning process. While preparing for tests, you have a chance - and motivation - to analyze, sum up and absorb information in the most efficient way.

In this course, an emphasis is put on the major art history issues – Styles, Terms and Timelines .

If you know the characteristics of each style, you will be able to identify it when you see a work of art - even if you do not remember it (or never saw before).

You can recognize a style because you know how other works look, that were produced in the same period.

Here is an example of two 18th century styles – Rococo and Neo-classicism.

You can tell that the two works (in the same row) belong to the same style, i.e. share the same stylistic characteristics .

Rococo (picture from your book, detail)

Rococo (work most likely new to you, detail) Artist: Fragonard (in both cases)

Neo-classicism (example from book, detail)

The Oath of Horatii. By Jacque-Louis David, 1784

Neo-classicism

The Death of Socrates. By David, 1787. (Detail)

RE: Dates.

On the test, I will not be asking the exact dates for each work - it will be enough to know the century. In case of Rococo and Neoclassicism – you should also know which half of 18th it was (roughly):

Rococo – 1st half

Neoclassicism – 2nd half of the 18th and early 19th century

Baroque

Rococo

Neo-Classicism

--------- 1600 --------------------------- 1700 --------------------------- 1800 -----

RE: Identification of Works of Art

I expect you to be able to recognize these works of art and know the artist, country in which he lived and worked, the Style (important) and approximate time.
