According to Thomas Crow on Page 73, how do artistic careers change in the early 19th century?
Definition
Delacroix forgoes his passage to Italy, which before was crucial to the development of any painter. Rome Academy closed b/c of the war and the restrictions of entry were removed. Made painting seem "attractive and feasible" to amateurs (like Gericault). Training and socialization minimized. Artists begin to break away from Roman Procedure. The credentials of the painters/ artists were secured by the public, not institutions.

Term
Based on what we have studied so far this semester, what are three principal features of an artwork that make it distinctly modern?
Definition
1. A heavy focus on brush work. For example in class we talked about Turner's Slaves... According to the Academy brush and color were the least two important things. In lecture we specifically said that work is "it's all brushstroke and color!" This rebels against the French standard.
2. Makes you question what art is. Turner's Rain, Steam and Speed. It's becoming more abstract. Fails to be academic. Are we supposed to know where the bridge is?
3. Oath of the Horatii. Modern because it wasn't the scene that he was commissioned to paint. On top of that there was only one plane.
4. Landscape Painting. It was supposed to be one of the least important things to paint it was made modern because artists felt that the land was charged. Not supposed to see people working/ no poverty Constable's vagrant woman.
