Romantic Art
ROMANTIC STYLE
In emphasizing emotion and imagination, romantic art shifted away from the restraint of classicism and neoclassicism that had dominated art in Europe since the Renaissance. Romanticism achieved its greatest popularity in art, literature, music and philosophy between 1780 and 1830, although its expression of individual experiences ranging from awe to passion informed culture in the decades after.
Landscape painting was especially popular during the romantic period, as were nature studies of wild animals and fantasies of exotic lands. Romanticism varied across Europe as it reacted to the rise of industrialization, a more personal relationship with faith that was distanced from the church and the rationalist thinking of the Enlightenment.
British painters such as John Constable and J.M.W. Turner responded dramatically to the light and atmosphere of the natural world, while William Blake conveyed humanity’s connection to the divine in his visionary art. In Germany, the late-18th-century Sturm und Drang, or Storm and Drive, movement, with its probing of the unconscious, inspired a sense of mystery in work by romantic artists such as Caspar David Friedrich and Philipp Otto Runge. In France, where the French Revolution had turned tradition upside down, Théodore Géricault and Eugène Delacroix used lush brushwork to paint monumental canvases with tumultuous scenes of nature and history.
The romantic movement and its subject matter were a significant influence on the Pre-Raphaelites, Symbolists and the American painters of the Hudson River School, as well as on other cultural movements in the 19th and 20th centuries that saw artists build on this perspective in which art was guided by emotion rather than reason.

Cindy Sherman Biography:
Born in 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, Cindy Sherman lives and works in New York NY. Her ground-breaking photographs have interrogated themes around representation and identity in contemporary media for over four decades. Coming to prominence in the late 1970s with the Pictures Generation group alongside artists such as Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince and Louise Lawler, Sherman studied art at Buffalo State College in 1972 where she turned her attention to photography. In 1977, shortly after moving to New York, Sherman began her critically acclaimed Untitled Film Stills. A suite of 69 black and white portraits, Untitled Film Stills sees Sherman impersonate a myriad of stereotypical female characters and caricatures inspired by Hollywood pictures, film noir, and B movies. Using a range of costumes, props and backdrops to manipulate her own appearance and to create photographs resembling promotional film images, the series explores the tension between artifice and identity in consumer culture which has preoccupied the artist’s practice ever since.
Sherman continued to channel and reconstruct familiar personas known to the collective psyche, often in unsettling ways. In 1981, the artist created her Centerfolds, a series of photographic double spreads inspired by men’s erotic...

Paul Gavarni (1804-1866) Portrait of Henri Monnier, original drawing
Located in Paris, FR
Paul Gavarni (1804-1866)
Portrait of Henri Monnier, standing in profile a study of hand and arm on the right border, circa 1840-50
Pencil on light paper,
24.5 x 15,7 cm
Ex-collection Pierre Gavarni, the artist's son mark (Lugt 1124c, lower right recto).
Two corners missing (lower left and upper right) see photographs please
In a modern cardboard mount : 45 x 35.5 cm
Different portraits of Henri Monnier by Gavarni are known, mainly lithographs. This one appears as a very natural study, draught from the model in his interior.
It's interesting to judge of the difference between this intimate drawing and the litograph portrait (see illustration) if the model is the same and easy to identify, the attitude and the spirit are totally different.
Henri Monnier (1799-1877) was a cartoonist , illustrator , playwright and actor. He was a friend of Alexandre Dumas , Théophile Gautier , Stendhal , Eugène Sue , Prosper Mérimée , Eugène Scribe , Eugène Delacroix , Louis Boulanger...
