TPO 1 Lecture 1Contemporary artListen to part of a lecture in a contemporary
art class.

ProfessorOk, I’m going to begin this lecture by giving you your next
assignment. Remember I said that at some point during this semester I wanted
you to attend an exhibit at the Fairy Street Gallery and then write about it?
Well, the exhibit that I want you to attend is coming up. It’s already started
in fact, but it’ll be at the gallery for the next month, which should give you
plenty of time to complete this assignment.

The name of the artist exhibiting there is Rose Frantzen. Frantzen’s work
may be unfamiliar to you since she’s a relatively young artist. But she’s got
a very unusual style, compared to some of the artists we’ve looked at this term.
But anyway, Frantzen’s style is what she herself calls Realistic Impressionism.
So you’ve probably studied both of these movements separately, separate movements,
Realism and Impressionism, in some of your art history courses. So who can just
sum these up?

StudentWell, Impressionism started in the late 19th century. Um…the basic
impressionist style was very different from earlier styles. It didn’t depict
scenes or models exactly as they looked. Um… Impressionist painters tended to
apply paint really thickly, and in big brushstrokes, so the texture of the canvas
was rough.

ProfessorGood. What else? What were the subjects?

StudentWell, a lot of impressionist artists painted everyday scenes, like
people on the streets and in cafes, uh, lots of nature scenes, especially
landscapes.

ProfessorGood. So when you go to the exhibit, I really want you to take a
close look at a certain painting. It’s a farm scene. And you will see it right
as you enter the gallery. The reason I think this painting is so important is
that it stresses the impressionist aspec t of Frantzen’s style. It’s an outdoor
scene, an everyday scene. It’s kind of bleak, but you can really see those broad
brushstrokes and the blurry lines. The colors aren’t quite realistic. The sky
is kind of, well an unnatural pinkish yellow. And the fence in the foreground
