Visual Lecture # Cezanne, Scheile, Dumas -> H20 Media

Paul Cezanne
French  1839 - 1906

Paul Cézanne was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work was the foundation for transitioning from a 19th-century conception of artistic endeavor to a new and radically different way of looking at subject matter towards the 20th century.  His work eventually leads the way towards the beginning of breaking up space into smaller parts and cubes.  









Egon Scheile
Austrian 1980 - 1918

Schiele was a protégé of Gustav Klimt. Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. His work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and the many self-portraits the artist produced, including naked self-portraits. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionist art. He died at the age of 28 of the flu.











Marlene Dumas
South African b. 1953
She often uses reference images from the newspaper, images of her friends and lovers, etc.  The sale of Dumas's Jule-die Vrou (1985), positioned Dumas as one of three living female artists' works that were purchased for over $1 million USD.

Elements of Visual Design

The  elements  and  principles of design   are the foundational building blocks used to create a visual work.  The elements of design are the A, B, C's that are put together by any artist or  designer  to create an image or object.   The  grammar  of how these elements are used create the overall visual work.   Good or bad, all visual works will contain most of these elements, if not all, the nine elements of design. The  principles of design  can be thought of as  what we do  to the elements of design.   Go to the page on  Principles of Design  for more information. How we manipulate the elements and principles of design, or, how we employ them, creates an  impression  that an audience will then  interpret .  These are the artist and designers  writing tools  of how they express an  idea,  if  you will.  How we apply t...
