Third, the variation of music

(1) background

/kloc-at the end of 0/9, world music ushered in a new development period. Musicians have broken away from the shackles of tradition and sought new breakthroughs in music art. At that time, various styles and schools emerged one after another and existed in mutual influence.

(2) Achievement

1. Impressionism: Debussy (France): Afternoon of Faun, Nocturne and Moonlight.

Debussy, a French composer, is the main representative of impressionist music and is regarded as a genius in the music industry in the 20th century. Impressionist music, like impressionist painting, pursues a hazy effect. From Debussy's music, people can appreciate a hazy, elegant, illusory and quiet artistic conception. Debussy's symphonic poem Pastoral Afternoon, Orchestral Nocturne and Piano Music Moonlight are all representative works of impressionist music.

2. Expressionism: Schoenberg: Variations for Orchestra and Violin Concerto.

During this period, expressionist music represented by Schoenberg also appeared, which paid attention to expressing inner self. Schoenberg is an Austrian Jewish composer. He completely abandoned the traditional concept of musical tonality, made his music in an atonal or atonal state, and explored the law of atonal music-12 phonology, which had a great influence on the development of music in the 20th century. His important works include Variations for Band, Violin Concerto and Survivor of Warsaw.

3. Neoclassicism: Stravinsky: the journey of the prodigal son and the sacrifice of spring.

Fourth, the rise of cubist painting and its artistic characteristics

1, background:

Cubism is a modern art school that rose in France after entering the 20th century. Cubist painters, contrary to the characteristics of traditional painting, divide the painting object into several geometric sections, and then subjectively juxtapose them to show the geometric space of the object. Because the picture destroys people's normal vision, there will be a sense of fragmentation.

2. Achievements

The most famous representative of cubism is Picasso (1881-1973). Picasso was Spanish and later settled in Paris, France. He began to engage in artistic creation activities at the end of 19, and continued until 1970s, becoming the most influential modern cubist painter. Picasso pursued it all his life, created works of various artistic styles in different creative periods, and wrote immortal songs of life with his own artistic pen.

Creation stage, representative works and their artistic characteristics.

According to different colors, Picasso's works before Kloc-0/907 can be divided into "blue period" and "pink period".

(2)1907 or so, influenced by African black art and Cezanne's painting, it formed a "black period" in his creative career, and his masterpiece is Girl of avignon, which is considered as the first painting of cubism. In the past, painters always looked at people or things from one angle and only painted a three-dimensional side. Cubism is a new way to express things. They observe from several angles, from several angles that cannot be seen from the front, and show several sides that cannot be seen from the front in a parallel or overlapping way. In Girl in avignon, the tones of five naked women are set off by a blue background, which is arbitrarily divided and has no sense of distance, and the characters are composed of geometric figures.

(3) Later, Picasso further explored the possibility of cubism, and began the period of analytical cubism and comprehensive cubism in his artistic career, and created works such as Girl Playing the Mandolin, Portrait of Girl, Still Life on a Rattan Chair, etc.

(4) After the First World War, the turbulent and tragic years made Picasso rethink the classical world, and he entered the "neoclassicism period" of his creation.

⑤ 1937 In April, the fascist air force bombed the Basque town of guernica in northern Spain, and the innocent residents in the town were massacred, which caused strong condemnation from international public opinion. Picasso was outraged and took this incident as the theme, creating a masterpiece "guernica" that shocked the painting world. "guernica" is the name of an ancient Spanish city. That year, the Spanish government destroyed the city by violence. Picasso took this as the theme, recreating the scene with split elements (cubism) and expressing his protest against the government and the war. Because of this painting, Picasso was exiled to France and never returned to his native Spain. Because of the name and content of this painting, guernica became a symbol of anti-government and anti-violence. Picasso said that this painting will not return to the motherland until Spain becomes a truly democratic and peaceful country. It was not until the victory of the Spanish War of Liberation that this painting returned to the motherland and became the most precious cultural property of Spain. There are two paintings protected by bulletproof glass in the world, one is the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and the other is the guernica by Picasso.

The picture adopts cubism, semi-realism and other techniques and styles, depicting the casualties and panic brought by the war to the residents, and the whole picture gives people great shock. Picasso made outstanding contributions to his art, thus winning the respect of the Spanish people and people all over the world.

Picasso, the great Spanish painter, died at the age of 9 1. Maybe you should wonder why we call him "the youngest painter in the world". This is because when he was 90 years old, he seemed to see things in the world for the first time when he picked up colors and brushes and began to draw a new picture.

Young people are always exploring new things and solving new problems. They are keen on experiments and welcome new things. They are restless, energetic and never satisfied. Old people are always afraid of change. They know what they are best at. They would rather copy past successes than risk failure.
