Discuss Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s evolving Impressionist style in The Bathers, and explain why he changed his style.

Arts

Answer:

Of all the Impressionist artists, Renoir in particular changed his style in the 1880s. He came to believe that his work was too focused on the present time, meaning Paris in the 1880s. He worried that future viewers would not be interested in his art because it would become irrelevant. He therefore began painting subjects that were more "timeless," as opposed to scenes that were clearly set in present-day Paris. In contrast to his earlier works, like Le Moulin de la Galette, or other Impressionist works, like Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergere, Renoir's later works do not feature subjects that are so obviously late-19th century Parisians.

Explanation:

The Bathers is an excellent example of this shift in Renoir's works. The women are more classical in appearance. While they could be 19th century Parisian women on the banks of the Seine (the river that runs through Paris), since they are undressed they are difficult to place definitively in time. The painting has other features that are also indicative of a change in Renoir's style. The figures are rendered with much more detail; in contrast to Le Moulin de la Galette, it is clear that Renoir focused more on carefully painting the figures in The Bathers, rather than painting quickly as in the earlier work. Still, the background retains the Impressionist style of quick, rough brushstrokes, and the bright colors are also typical of Impressionist art. Although The Bathers shows a move away from the original tenets of Impressionism, it retains enough of the style to still be considered an Impressionist work.

List 5 general characteristics for each of the following style periods (write true statements):
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Baroque (1600 - 1750)

The Baroque period marked the beginning of what is commonly considered classical music. Music during this time developed from Renaissance music into the tonal music with which we are familiar today.

Baroque music is primarily characterized by its polyphonic texture, meaning that the music contains 2 or more independent melodic voices.

In particular, Baroque music is known for its use of the counterpoint. The counterpoint is a pretty complex musical idea, but in simpler terms, counterpoint uses different, independent musical lines that sound harmonious when played together.

Characteristics of Baroque music include:

Polyphonic texture: multiple melodic lines in different voices

Unity of mood: each piece features a single emotion (i.e. a piece that begins happy will remain happy)

Continuity of rhythm: rhythmic patterns are often repeated throughout a piece

Repetition of melody: the melody is repeated; though it is distinct, it is not lyrical

Terraced dynamics: dynamics change suddenly rather than gradually

Ornamentation (music flourishes, often fast notes, to decorate the main note)

Less use of instrumental music; large use of the harpsichord

Classical (1750 - 1830)

Music from the Classical period shifted away from the Baroque period's emphasis on polyphonic texture and more towards a single melody with accompaniment. This created music with less texture but with a more clearly defined melody.

Characteristics of Classical music include:

Single melody with accompaniment: one voice carries the primary melody while another voice plays a simpler line that supports the melody

Larger variety of keys, melodies, rhythms, and dynamics

More contrast in a piece

Shorter, clearer melodies than in Baroque music

More emphasis on instrumental music

Primary forms of composition: sonata, trio, string quartet, symphony, concerto

Romantic (1830 - 1920)

Music from the Romantic period is characterized by its much greater passion and expression than that of earlier periods. Romantic works display an expansion of form (like the key and instrumentation of a piece).

Characteristics of Romantic music include:

Freer form and more personal expression of emotion

Emphasis on lyrical melodies and themes

More modulation (change in key) to unexpected keys: the overall effect of this is that it is harder for the listener to predict what will happen next in the piece

More chromaticism and scales other than major/minor

Greater variety in pitch, dynamics, and rhythm

Less traditional chord progressions

Program music: more pieces inspired by literary/artistic sources

Greater emphasis on nationalism: many composers infused cultural songs or dances into their works

Contemporary (1920 - present):

The most conspicuous differentiation between classical music in the Contemporary period and in previous periods is the shift in tone. Whereas music from the Common Practice Period was largely tonal, much Contemporary music is atonal.

Contemporary classical music can be divided into:

20th-century Contemporary Classical Music:

Varies greatly, no dominant style

Increased use of dissonance

21st-century Contemporary Classical Music:

Huge variety in style, which include minimalism, experimentalism

Contains a variety of influences, from world music to technology

Many classical composers have written for film scores

Engage in social interaction and maintain your confidence. especially when you are conversing with others. Try anything if you want to learn it, keep trying it if you want to get better at it, and don't be afraid of making errors as long as you learn from them.
