2. The artworks weve looked at in this class very often contain details that are incredibly realistic. But weve also seen a number of works that present elements that depart dramatically from reality: e.g., unnaturally elongated or large or angular bodies, unnaturalistic backgrounds, odd spatial configurations, unusual colors, impossible poses. Discuss why artists sometimes departed dramatically from reality. How do such departures from reality enrich the meaning of artworks? To answer this, discuss four works, and for each provide no more than five sentences. Feel free to pick whatever examples you prefer from the material we discuss through class on October 8. But some works you might consider discussing include (in Snyders textbook): the painting on p. 2 (the Resurrection by the Master of Trebon Altarpiece); figure 2.22 (the Lamentation in the Rohan Hours); figure 2.37 (April in the Trs Riches Heures du Duc de Berry); figure 5.11 (van Eycks Madonna in the Church); figure 6.8 (van der Weydens Deposition); figure 7.6 (Petrus Christuss Virgin and Child in a Chamber). Again, these are just suggestions; there are other works you can also pick that are superb examples.
