Bloomsbury Group

The Bloomsbury Group orBloomsbury Set was a group of writers,

intellectuals, philosophers and artists who held informal

discussions in Bloomsbury throughout the 20thcentury.This English

collective of friends and relatives lived, worked or

studied near Bloomsbury in London during the first half of the twentieth

century. Their work deeply influenced literature, aesthetics, criticism, and

economics as well as modern attitudes towards feminism,pacifism, and

sexuality.

its best known members were Virginia Woolf, John Maynard, E.M. ForsterandLytton Strachey.

The Bloomsbury Group came from mostly upper middle-classprofessional families. E. M. Forster, Virginia Woolf and VanessaBell had small independent incomes. Others such as Lytton

Strachey, Leonard Woolf, the Mac Carthys, Duncan Grant, and

Roger Fry needed to work for their living. Of these, only Clive

Bell could be called wealthy. All the male members of the earlyBloomsbury Group except Duncan Grant were educated at the

Cambridge colleges of Trinity or Kings.

FAUVISMThe first of the major avant-garde movements in European 20th

century art, Fauvism was characterized by paintings that used

intensely vivid, non-naturalistic and exuberant colors. The style

was essentially expressionist, and generally featured landscapes in

which forms were distorted. The Fauves first exhibited together in

1905 in Paris. The movement was subjected to more mockery and

abuse as it developed, but began to gain respect when major art

buyers, such as Gertrude Stein, took an interest. The leading

artists involved were Matisse, Rouault, Derain, Vlaminck, Braqueand Dufy. Although short-lived (1905-8), Fauvism was extremely

influential in the evolution of 20th century art.

Fauvist Art (c.1905-1908)The term Fauvist denotes a short-lived colourist movement,

associated with theEcole de Paris, which formed aroundfriendships between French artists around the turn of the century.The name 'Fauves' was coined at the 1905 Salon d'Automneexhibition in Paris.

Leading members of the Parisian Fauvist school were Henri Matisse(1869-1954) and Andre Derain (1880-1954), who had studiedtogether in 1897, as well as Maurice de Vlaminck (1876-1958) afriend of Derain. At the root of Fauvist philosophy was Derain'snotion of'colour for colour's sake'.

Although the Fauvist movement was a comparatively short-livedphenomenon, it had a huge influence on the perceived value androle of colour in painting.

Famous works The bright red foreground andbackground flatten the space in this

view of a table being cleared afterdinner. The floral pattern of thetable cloth continues onto thewallpaper, and has equal

importance with the figure, theobjects on the table, and the viewout the window. Originally thedominant colour in the painting was

mostly green, then blue, and finallyred, as Matisse went throughsuccessive stages of repainting.

Henri Matisse did several

versions of his Joy of Life

painting. In this version, theartist has used bold, flat,contrasting colors to create awork with much impact. His

simplified figures with strongoutlines are all finding theirown peace in their own way,with some dancing, othersrelaxing, while the couple inthe lower right are embracingeach other.

Painting Title: Notre-Dame (A

Glimpse of Notre Dame in the

Late Afternoon) 1902Oil on Paper

About the the Notre-Dame

Painting

In this city view, Henri Matisse

has flattened the buildings,

making them solid shapes and

colors, with detail beingavoided.


12/30

The paintings' bold strokes had

an autonomous existence that

often had little to do withmimicking surface appearances.

The colors were unblended,

without the subtle shading that

suggests three-dimensionality.

Their very brilliance and the

strong rhythms of the

brushstrokes worked against any

perception of depth.Henri Matisse, Open Window, Collioure,1905, National Gallery of Art, Washington.

About the the Le Lit Dans La

Glace Painting

Henri Matisse never hid the factthat he painted beautiful things.

He wanted his paintings to be

celebrations of life. He wanted

his works to be easy to think

about and view. A vase of

colorful flowers achieves all of

his aims.Painting Title: Le Lit Dans La Glace1919Henri Matisse

Artistic influences

Vlaminck's compositions show familiarity with the

Impressionists He was visiting a van Gogh exhibit, he declared that

he "loved van Gogh that day more than my own father". From 1908his palette grew more monochromatic, and the predominant

influence was that of Czanne. His later work displayed a dark

palette, punctuated by heavy strokes of contrasting white paint.
