Luncheon on the Grass (Le déjeuner sur l'herbe) in 1863
•originally titled Le Bain (The Bath) – is a large oil on
canvas painting by Édouard Manet created in 1862 and 1863. The
painting depicts the juxtaposition of a female nude and a scantily
dressed female bather on a picnic with two fully dressed men in a
rural setting. Rejected by the Salon jury of 1863, Manet seized
the opportunity to exhibit this and two other paintings, in the
1863 Salon des Refusés, where the painting sparked public
notoriety and controversy. The piece is now in the Musée d'Orsay
in Paris.

Edvard Munch
 He was a Norwegian
painter and
printmaker whose
intensely evocative
treatment of
psychological themes
built upon some of the
main tenets of late 19th-
century Symbolism and
greatly
influenced German Expre
ssionism in the early
20th century. One of his
most well-known works
is The Scream of 1893.

 His philosophy, "I do not

believe in the art which
is not the compulsive
result of Man's urge to
open his heart."
 The Scream is Munch's
most famous work and
one of the most
recognizable paintings in
all art. It has been
widely interpreted as
representing the
universal anxiety of
modern man. Painted with
broad bands of garish
color and highly
simplified forms, and
employing a high
viewpoint, the agonized
figure is reduced to a
garbed skull in the
throes of an emotional
crisis.
The Scream in 1893.
 With this painting, Munch met his stated goal of
"the study of the soul, that is to say the study of
my own self". Munch wrote of how the painting
came to be: "I was walking down the road with
two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky
turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned
against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired.
Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the
bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking,
while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then
I heard the enormous, infinite scream of
nature."He later described the personal anguish
behind the painting, "for several years I was
almost mad… You know my picture, 'The
Scream?' I was stretched to the limit—nature
was screaming in my blood… After that I gave
up hope ever of being able to love again."

Umberto Boccioni  Born on October 19 1882
and died on August 171916
 He was an Italian painter
and sculptor. Like
other Futurists, his work
centered on the portrayal of
movement (dynamism), speed,
and technology. He was born
in Reggio Calabria,Italy.
 “While the impressionists
make a table to give one
particular moment and
subordinate the life of the
table to its resemblance to
this moment, we synthesize
every moment (time, place,
form, color-tone) and thus
build the table.” - Pittura e
scultura futuriste
Unique Forms of
Continuity in
Space is a bronze
Futurist sculpture
by Umberto
Boccioni. It is seen
as an expression of
movement and
fluidity. The
sculpture is
depicted on the
obverse of the
Italian-issue 20
cent euro coin.
 Unique Forms of Continuity in Space depicts a
human-like figure apparently in motion. The
sculpture has an aerodynamic and fluid form.
As a pedestal, two blocks at the feet connect
the figure to the ground. The figure is also
armless and without a discernibly real face.

 The Futurist movement was striving to portray

speed and forceful dynamism in their art.
Boccioni, though trained as a painter, began
sculpting in 1912. He exclaimed that "these
days I am obsessed by sculpture! I believe I
have glimpsed a complete renovation of that
mummified art." The next year, Boccioni
completed the sculpture. His goal for the work
was to depict a "synthetic continuity" of motion
instead of an "analytical discontinuity"
