Art 101 Final Terms Flashcards

Neoclassicism is a style that developed toward the end of the 18th century, characterized by simplicity and straight lines, harsh sculptural lines, a subdued palette, and planar recession into space. Prominent painters include Jacques Louis David, known for balancing emotion and restraint, and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, recognized for harsh linearity and a combination of smoothness and sensuality in his works.

Romanticism sought extremes of emotion, enhanced by virtuoso brushwork and a brilliant palette, and was influenced by the Industrial Revolution.

Delacroix advocated spontaneity in painting directly on canvas without meticulous preparatory sketches.
