surface in order to present a picture of the subject. The painter
must have chosen his methods: realism, surrealism, abstractionism,
etc.

great painters in the second half of the last millennium. 2.
Acrylic and poster colors, which are readily available in book
stores and department stores. 3. Watercolor, tempera, pastel,
acrylic, and encaustic.
- 4. Oil Oil painting is done with the use of ground pigments
(from minerals, coal tar, vegetable matter, etc.) Oil paintings are
long-lasting, slow in drying, easy to handle. Oil paints are
applied in either of two ways: 1. The direct method, in which the
paints are opaque and once they are applied on the surface; and 2.
The indirect method, in which the paints are transparent and they
are applied in many thin layers or coatings.

or true fresco. 2. On the other hand, when the plaster is dry the
painting is described as fresco secco or dry fresco. Note: The
Fresco paintings are durable. It is quick to dry. Fresco paintings
are not movable because they are permanently attached to the walls;
and fresco paintings are subject to loss in the event that the
walls are destroyed.

or collectively. Thus, paintings of mens faces, if not their entire
bodies, became a hit. Sad to say, it was the elite, particularly
the kings and the noblemen, who could afford the services of good
painters.

- 33. History Prehistoric Period All cultures and dates back to
the time of the prehistoric men who produced their own artifacts.
Egyptians created paintings to make the burials site for example
the pyramid. The oldest known paintings believed to be about 32,
000 years old are found in the France and depict animals. There are
also cave paintings of antelopes in Altamira, Spain.
- 34. Greek Period Ancient Greece had great painters who were
then regarded as manual laborers. Paintings found in pottery and
ceramics give a glimpse of the way of life of ancients Greeks.
- 35. Roman Period Roman painting exhibits important
characteristics of its own. These qualities are evident in the only
surviving Roman paintings, that is, the wall paintings from villas
in Campania, Southern Italy.
- 36. Prehistoric Period The pyramid for the dead pharaoh oldest
known paintings believed to be about 32, 000 years old Paleolithic
Cave Art was found in Altamira Cave (Spain) dating 18,500 years
ago. Altamira was the first cave discovered to have prehistoric
paintings In the late 1800's an amateur archaeologist was led by
his 9 yr old daughter to find this cave Naturally, this was a very
popular place for visitors, however, the carbon dioxide from
breathing in the close confines of the cave began to deteriorate
the paintings between 1960's and 70's and the cave was closed to
the public for its preservation and historic value. A replica cave
was constructed nearby for viewing and completed in 2001. The "Time
Line" is as follows (courtesy

Christianity, which brought about a different spirit and aim to
painting styles. Placing great emphasis on retaining traditional
iconography and style.
- 39. Renaissance Period Considered the golden age of painting,
Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Raphael are among
the great Italian artists who reflected the revolution of ideas and
science during this period through their paintings.

dramatic light and shade, violent composition, and exaggerated
emotion.

- 42. Classical Period The Classical refers to the art of ancient
Greece and Rome; it can also mean an art that is based on a
carefully organized arrangement of parts, with special emphasis on
balance and proportion (Russell, 1984).
- 43. Rococo Period The painting during this period is
characterized as lighter than that of the Baroque, often frivolous,
and erotic.
- 44. Romantic Period The fall of the Rococo style gave rise to a
new movement which shifted its attention toward landscape and
nature, as well as the human figure and the supremacy of natural
order above mankinds will.

- 49. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (March 5, 1696 March 27, 1770),
also known as Gianbattista or Giambattista Tiepolo, was an Italian
painter and printmaker from the Republic of Venice. He was
prolific, and worked not only in Italy, but also in Germany and
Spain. Thomas Gainsborough English painter, one of the greatest
masters of the English school in portraiture, and only less so in
landscape, was born at Sudbury, Suffolk, in the spring of 1727. His
father, who carried on the business of a woollen crape-maker in
that town, was of a respectable character and family, and was noted
for his skill in fencing; his mother excelled in flower-painting,
and encouraged her son in the use of the pencil. There were nine
children of the marriage, two of the Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin
(2 November 1699 6 December 1779) was an 18th- century French
painter. He is considered a master of still life, and is also noted
for his genre paintings which depict kitchen maids, children, and
domestic activities. Carefully balanced composition, soft diffusion
of light, and granular impasto characterize his work.
- 50. Romantic Period Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (29 August
1780 14 January 1867) was a French Neoclassical painter. Although
he considered himself to be a painter of history in the tradition
of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David, by the end of his life
it was Ingres's portraits, both painted and drawn, that were
recognized as his greatest legacy. Jacques-Louis David (30 August
1748 29 December 1825) was an influential French painter in the
Neoclassical style, considered to be the preeminent painter of the
era. In the 1780s his cerebral brand of history painting marked a
change in taste away from Rococo frivolity toward a classical
austerity and severity, heightened feeling chiming with the moral
climate of the final years of the Ancien Rgime.

- 52. Realist and Naturalist Period The realists and naturalists,
headed by Gustave Courbet, who used light, shade, color, and
perspective to reproduce as closely as possible the appearance of
objects in nature (Russell, 1984).
- 53. Impressionist Period A painting style that tried to capture
the quality of light as it plays across landscapes and
figures.
- 54. Realist and Naturalist Period THE EXPRESSIONIST AND THEIR
MASTERPIECE Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 29 July 1890)
was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work, notable for its
rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color, had a far-reaching
influence on 20th-century art. After years of painful anxiety and
frequent bouts of mental illness, he died at the age of 37 from a
gunshot wound, generally accepted to be self-inflicted (although no
gun was ever found). His work was then known to only a handful of
people and appreciated by fewer still. The Potato Eaters, 1885, Van
Gogh Museum
- 55. Eugne Henri Paul Gauguin (7 June 1848 8 May 1903) was a
leading French Post- Impressionist artist who was not well
appreciated until after his death. Gauguin was later recognized for
his experimental use of colors and synthetist style that were
distinguishably different from Impressionism. His work was
influential to the French avant-garde and many modern artists, such
as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Gauguins art became popular
after his death and many of his paintings were in the possession of
Russian collector Sergei Shchukin. He was also an influential
proponent of wood engraving and woodcuts as art forms. I Raro te
Oviri, 1891, Dallas Museum of Art
- 56. THE FORMALIST AND THEIR MASTERPIECE Paul Czanne (18391906)
was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid
the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception
of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art
in the 20th century. Czanne can be said to form the bridge between
late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new
line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. The line attributed to both
Matisse and Picasso that Czanne "is the father of us all" cannot be
easily dismissed. The Card Players, an iconic work by Czanne
- 57. THE REALIST AND NATURALIST WITH THEIR MASTER PIECE Jean
Dsir Gustave Courbet (10 June 1819 31 December 1877) was a French
painter who led the Realist movement in 19th-century French
painting. The Realist movement bridged the Romantic movement
(characterized by the paintings of Thodor Gricault and Eugne
Delacroix) with the Barbizon School and the Impressionists. Courbet
occupies an important place in 19th century French painting as an
innovator and as an artist willing to make bold social commentary
in his work. I am fifty years old and I have always lived in
freedom; let me end my life free; when I am dead let this be said
of me: 'He belonged to no school, to no church, to no institution,
to no academy, least of all to any rgime except the rgime of
liberty.' Gustave Courbet, A Burial at Ornans, 1849-1850, oil on
canvas, 314 x 663 cm.(123.6 x 261 inches), Musee d'Orsay, Paris.
Exhibition at the 18501851 Paris Salon created an "explosive
reaction" and brought Courbet instant fame.
- 58. Modern Period In the early 20th century, avante- garde
artists experimented on new styles of formalist painting and such
experimentation led to the birth of Cubism, Futurism, De Stijl, and
Supremantism.
- 59. Modern Period Pablo Diego Jos Francisco de Paula Juan
Nepomuceno Mara de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santsima Trinidad
Ruiz y Picasso, known as Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 8 April
1973), was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and
stage designer who spent most of his adult life in France. One of
the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century. Les

- 60. Robert Delaunay (12 April 1885 25 October 1941) was a
French artist who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others,
cofounded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong
colours and geometric shapes. His later works were more abstract
reminiscent of Paul Klee. His key influence related to bold use of
colour, and a clear love of experimentation of both depth and tone.

- 62. Joseph Fernand Henri Lger (February 4, 1881 August 17,
1955) was a French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker. In his early
works he created a personal form of Cubism which he gradually
modified into a more figurative, populist style. His boldly
simplified treatment of modern subject matter has caused him to be
regarded as a forerunner of Pop art. Fernand Lger, La Femme en Bleu

- 63. Marcel Duchamp (28 July 1887 2 October 1968; French
pronunciation) was a French artist whose work is most often
associated with the Dadaist and Surrealist movements. Considered by
some to be one of the most important artists of the 20th century,
Duchamp's output influenced the development of post-World War I
Western art. He advised modern art collectors, such as Peggy
Guggenheim and other prominent figures, thereby helping to shape
the tastes of Western art during this period. Marcel Duchamp. Nude

1944), was a Dutch painter. He was an important contributor to the
De Stijl art movement and group, which was founded by Theo van
Doesburg. He evolved a non-representational form which he termed
Neo-Plasticism. This consisted of white ground, upon which was
painted a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three
primary colors. Between his 1905 painting, The River Amstel, and
his 1907 Amaryllis, Mondrian changed the spelling of his signature
from Mondriaan to Mondrian. Piet Mondrian, View from the Dunes with
