Neoclassical Art
France, England, and the United States
Neoclassicism PERIOD OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT
Focused on principle over pleasure---as if society had overdosed on the sweets (and superficiality) of Rococo
Differs from Poussin’s classicism from a century earlier---Neoclassicism’s figures were more naturalistic and solid, less waxen and ballet-like as were Poussin’s
Neoclassicism •VALUES: order, solemnity•TONE: calm, rational•SUBJECTS: Greek & Roman history,
mythology (1738 Pompeii and Herculaneum excavated)
•TECHNIQUE: Stressed drawing with lines, not color; no trace of brushstrokes
•ROLE OF ART: Morally uplifting, inspirational
