Across
  1. 2. Arose in response to Romanticism; shows ordinary people going about their ordinary business. Often unattractive...but realistic.
  2. 4. Scenes of daily life and “comfortable domesticity;” normal scenes of normal people (but generally attractive, middle class people); Hint: if you see a windmill, it’s this category
  3. 8. Art form that attempts to portray dreamlike qualities and tries to explore the subconscious of the individual.
  4. 10. Complex, ornate, fussy, light, lots of cupids and pastels, very dreamlike and even feminine, focuses on aristocracy
  5. 11. Their works often contain bold, unrealistic colors and expressive brushstrokes - ex. Van Gogh, Gauguin, Seurat
  6. 12. Realistic (but still beautiful); emotions & expressions are naturally depicted; mastery of perspective; geometrical arrangement of figures.
Down
  1. 1. Emotional, passionate, mysterious, sentimental, intuitive, intense, “rugged” individual, power and fury of nature, the exotic/occult/macabre, nationalism.
  2. 3. Sought to capture the momentary effects of the way light fell on a subject. No attempt made to capture how the object actually looked; more about how the object was perceived.
  3. 5. Used bright colors to express a particular emotion; much less concerned with form or technique…much more about expression.
  4. 6. Abstract art form, shows multiple POVs simultaneously. The subject matter is broken down, analyzed, and reassembled in abstract form.
  5. 7. Arose during WWI & the collapse of social and moral values. Attacks accepted standards of art and behavior; nihilistic and random. Meant to enrage and engage the audience.
  6. 9. Very dramatic and emotional and bold; evokes movement; extravagant; development of tenebrism; not merely religious….VERY Catholic.
