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.

Negative Shape Figures  Negative Shape Figures  with Wet Media ---------------------------- Finding the Chi The premise of Chi m editation  technique is simple.  i. Many practitioners of it recommend that when inhaling, you think of taking life energy into your body.  ii. When you exhale, release that energy.  This breathing technique can be applied to almost all  chi meditations  and movements.  iii. When engaged in drawing gestural figures, think that you are recording a thread of energy moving around your body.
