4. 33-1 Henri Matisse, Woman with the Hat , 1905, oil on canvas, 3â x 2â, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art GATA tells us that Matisse is about color, the luminosity of color. (Matisse wrote) ââŠwe rejected imitative colors, and that with pure colors we obtained stronger reactions âŠâ Color became the formal element most responsible for pictorial coherence and the primary conveyor of meaning.

11. Wilkins writes: Matisse took the dancers from The Joy of Life and expanded them so that they seem ready to burst out of the boundaries of the huge canvas. The figures are almost life size, and the powerful curves of their shapes make their movement seem impulsive and unstoppable. The figures are organic and full of life, and yet Matisse avoided using traditional modeling to suggest three-dimensionality. Matisse limited the colors, setting the warm orangish hue of the figures and their outlines against two hues from the opposite side of the color wheel: blue and green. The drama and impulsive movement of the dance are conveyed here with limited means and careful control by the artist.

31. Picasso, (Blue Period) The Old Guitarist , 1903, oil on panel, Art Institute of Chicago The Blue Period is the period between 1900 and 1904 when Picasso painted essentially monochromatic paintings in shades of blue and blue-green, only occasionally warmed by other colors. These somber works, inspired by Spain but mostly painted in Paris, are now some of his most popular works, although he had difficulty selling them at the time.
32. Picasso, The Blind Man's Meal , 1903, Oil on canvas; 37 1/2 x 37 1/4 in. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
33. The Blind Man's Meal, painted in Barcelona in the autumn of 1903, summarizes the stylistic characteristics of Picasso's Blue Period: rigorous drawing, simple hieratic compositions and forms, and of course, a blue tonality. The composition presents a forlorn figure seated at a frugal repast. In a letter, preserved in the Barnes Collection in Merion, Pennsylvania, Picasso gives a very precise description of the composition: "I am painting a blind man at the table. He holds some bread in his left hand and gropes with his right hand for a jug of wine." An empty bowl and a white napkin complete the still life on the table. The man's slightly contorted figure, long thin El Grecoâlike hands, unadorned surroundings, and his blindness make his disenfranchised condition all the more poignant. The highlights on his face and neck, hands, bread, and napkin put the figure in relief against the austere background. The painting is not merely a portrait of a blind man; it is also Picasso's commentary on human suffering in general. The meager meal of bread and wine invites references to the figure of Christ and the principal dogma of Catholic faith, whereby bread and wine represent Christ's body and blood, sacramental associations that Picasso as a Spaniard would have known. Additionally, the work elicits affinities to Picasso's own situation at the time, when, impoverished and depressed, he closely identified with the unfortunates of society.
34. Picasso, (Rose Period) Harlequin on a Red Armchair , 1905, ink / watercolor, 32â x 24â Â The Rose Period signifies the time when the style of Picasso's painting used cheerful orange and pink colors in contrast to the cool, somber tones of the previous Blue Period. It lasted from 1904 to 1906. Harlequins, circus performers and clowns appear frequently in the Rose Period and will populate Picasso's paintings at various stages through the rest of his long career. The harlequin, a comedic character usually depicted in checkered patterned clothing, became a personal symbol for Picasso. The Rose Period has been considered French influenced, while the Blue Period more Spanish influenced, although both styles emerged while Picasso was living in Paris.

In 1937, when the Nazis denounced modernism in their propagandistic survey âDegenerate Art,â Beckmann was the most heavily represented artist.

Oil on canvas, 50 x 50â, Museum of Modern Art, New York Escaping to New York after the start of World War II, Mondrian delighted in the city's architecture, and, an adept dancer, was fascinated by American jazz, particularly boogieâwoogie. He saw the syncopated beat, irreverent approach to melody, and improvisational aesthetic of boogieâwoogie as akin to his own "destruction of natural appearance; and construction through continuous opposition of pure meansâdynamic rhythm." Bands of stuttering chromatic pulses, paths of red, yellow, and blue interrupted by light gray suggest the city's grid and the movement of traffic, while the staccato vibration of colors evokes the syncopation of jazz and the blinking electric lights of Broadway.

Many of his creations, such as the numerous sculptures he made of Mademoiselle Pogany, share the eggâs smooth, oblong shape and simplicity. Brancusi liked to simplify his subject to its purest and most basic form. He is considered a forerunner of modern abstract sculpture because of his overriding interest in the inner form of his subject rather than its exterior appearance.

206.
207. Man at the Crossroads is a 63-foot-long portrait of workers facing symbolic crossroads of industry, science, socialism, and capitalism. The painter believes that his friendship with the Rockefeller family will allow him to insert an unapproved representation of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin into a section portraying a May Day parade. The real decision-making power lies with the Center's building managers, who abhor Rivera's propagandistic approach. Horrified by newspaper articles attacking the mural's anti-capitalist ideology, they order Rivera to remove the offending image. When Rivera refuses, offering to balance the work with a portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the opposing side, the managers pay his full fee, bar him from the site, and hide the mural behind a massive drape. Despite negotiations to transfer the work to the Museum of Modern Art and demonstrations by Rivera supporters, near midnight, on February 10th, 1934, Rockefeller Center workmen, carrying axes, demolish the mural. Later, Rivera recreates the frescoes in the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City, adding a portrait of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in a nightclub. Rivera never works in the United States again, but continues to be active, both politically and artistically, until his death in 1957.
