Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875)

http://www.chile4chile.com/corot/index.html

Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot , 1796-1875, French landscape painter, b. Paris. Corot was one of the most influential of 19th-century painters. The son of shopkeepers, he worked in textile shops until 1822, when he began to study painting. The classical landscape painters Michallon and Bertin were his teachers. In 1825 he made his first trip to Italy, during which he painted calm, solid, and exquisitely composed groups of Roman buildings (e.g., View of the Farnese Gardens, 1826; Phillips Coll., Washington, D.C.). Upon his return to France he lived mostly in the Ville d'Avray, which formed the subject of many of his celebrated paintings, including two in the Metropolitan Museum. He worked in Italy again in 1834 and 1843, and traveled in Switzerland, Holland, and England. Corot exhibited regularly at the Salon from 1827. Corot's landscapes celebrate the countryside without idealizing the peasant or romanticizing farm labor. He used sketches made directly from nature to aid his studio compositions, sometimes painting entire landscapes outdoors. In Rome he created works notable for their simplicity of form and clarity of lighting, such as the Colisseum and the Forum (both: Louvre). His later landscapes, more lyrical in tone and painted primarily in shades of gray and green, were more popular. His delicate handling of light is especially evident in Femme à la Perle (Louvre) and Interrupted Reading (Art Inst., Chicago). His work is represented in most of the prominent galleries of England, France, and the United States.

Edvard Munch 1863-1944

http://www.chile4chile.com/munch/index.html

Edvard Munch está considerado como el más importante artista de Noruega. Nació en Løten (Hendmark) en 1863 y falleció en Ekely (Oslo) en 1944. Munch comienza pintando en un estilo naturalistico convencional, pero en 1884 entra en contacto con las ideas avanzadas de los artistas bohemios de Cristianía (la actual Oslo) y su estilo se vuelve más libre y espontáneo. En 1885 visita París por primera vez y alli conoce la obra de los impresionistas (impresionismo), de los simbolistas y de Gauguin (postimpresionismo), de quien recibe una fuerte influencia. A partir de entonces, la pintura de Munch adquiere un carácter simbólico, que se relaciona con los temores ancestrales, las formas se simplifican y el color se vuelve no naturalístico. "La joven enferma" (1885-6, Galería Nacional de Oslo) es la primera obra en la que Munch muestra su personal y distintivo estilo, expresando ya un estado psíquico como experiencia vivida. En 1892 Munch fue invitado a exponer en...

Munch was born on Dec. 12, 1863, in Loten, Norway. He grew up in Christiania (now Oslo) and studied art under Christian Krohg, a Norwegian naturalistic painter. Munch's parents, a brother, and a sister died while he was still young, which probably explains the bleakness and pessimism of much of his work. Paintings such as The Sick Child (1886), Vampire (1893-94), and Ashes (1894) show his preoccupation with the darker aspects of life

b. Dec. 12, 1863, Löten, Nor.--d. Jan. 23, 1944, Ekely, near Oslo)

Norwegian painter and printmaker whose intense, evocative treatment of psychological and emotional themes was a major influence on the development of German Expressionism in the early 20th century. His painting The Cry (1893) is regarded as an icon of existential anguish.
