The painter-Dingtuo Leto

Dingtuo Leto (1518 ~ 1594), is Titian's second major disciples and also the last master in the Venetian painting. He loves painting since his childhood. In the dye shop's walls and floor, almost everywhere can see his paintings. His father is tired of cleaning, so send him to Titian's studio to learn the painting. When young, Leto was too impetuous to obey the teacher's instructions, so Titian doesn't like his character and ever drove him back, but he didn't accept, and set himself a great goal: make Titian's color and Michelangelo's shape together. In fact, he indeed did a lot on this aspect, and finally created his own unique portrait painting style, that is, the quite bold composition, good at using the contrast of light and shadow to emphasize the intense human movements. He often use some difficult angles to describe the performance of people, and create a tension screen .the rapid rhythm shown in the pictures, make people dazzled.
Leto used very little quiet calm tone, people's movements are often exaggerated. One side, this is out of the artist's personality, but it also reflects the social instability in the second half of 16th century in Venice. At that time, Venice's religious thought has gone into crisis, all the turmoil and uncertainty are related to rampant reactionary religious forces, so the lower-class is trapped in hard life.
The painting "Origin of the Milky Way "was created in 1578,is a representative portrait painting in the painter's late life. Its' size is very large, approximately 148 × 165 cm, is in now displayed in London's National Gallery. It is taken from Roman mythology. It is taken from Roman mythology. According to the myth said, the main god -Jupiter, take one of the children to the sky, then ask a maid to send the kid to the sky goddess -Juno, so in this way, he can absorb Juno's milk and has an eternal life. From the picture we can see, when the flying maid suddenly give the baby to Juno, she was a bit panic-stricken as not prepared well, so she hurried to dodge, body seems to have lost its balance, at this moment, Juno's milk splash, and formed today's Milky Way, so this is the reason why in English it's called "Milky Way".
This of course is a beautiful legend. Painter choose this as the portrait painting's theme aimed to the performance characteristics of his art. The painter let the maid bend in flight send the baby from the upper right corner, she and the nude goddess constitutes the center of the screen. Goddess tilted on her back, in the loss of balance exposed the bright naked body, which in sharp fell with the maid contrast.
He's good at accurately portraying people's movements, regardless of people flying, side set and any other difficult forms, he could all accurately re-present on them on the screen. Meanwhile, he's also good at describing the human body, especially the female's nude beauty and charm. This painting fully showed Leto's human body skills. In the comparison, the infant is just fell on the goddess's breast. Juno as frightened tilt her body, stretched out her hands, so let the charming nude body be very outstanding. And meanwhile, milk scattered, they all let the screen seem tensive and moving, In short, from this picture, we can see, no matter the figures momentum in the performance, the naked body in beauty, and also the changing light on the complex and rich, leto is unmatched. In addition, the author attaches great importance to picture's full compositions. The around little angels ,the distant eagle (which is the main symbol of Jupiter) and the peacock in the right corner are all intended to enable full screen while the decorative enrichment, so let the whole portrait painting show a magical myth world.
However, also have to point out that "the origin of the Galaxy" is not absolute perfect. Although it is full of imagination, but it's still not enough in the character's psychological characterization. Goddess of panic and suddenly felt an unexpected look, have not been profoundly portrayed. The painter only focused on the performance of figure's movements. The painter only focused on the performance of figures' movements, the attractive beauty and the treatment in space, while neglecting people's inner character and psychological subtle changes.

Works of the painter Georges Braque

Among the Cubist painters, George • Braque (Georges Braque ,1882-1963) , his influence was not actually smaller than Picasso’s. He and Picasso were the founder of cubism movement, and "Cubism," was derived from his work. In addition, there was a number of innovations in cubism movement were made by him, for example, letters and numbers into portrait painting, using means of collage, and so on. Most of the works of Braque were still life paintings and landscapes, simple styled, precise and uniform.
Blake was born in a painter Teyi family in Argenteuil-sur-Seine, his father and grandfather were amateur painter, which made him have a keen interest in painting at an early age. In 1893, the family moved to Le Havre, Braque, and soon he studied in a local art school. In 1902, he entered art school in Paris, by embracing and guidance, then turned to Ruanbeier College. In 1904 he founded his own studio. After a visit to the fall Sharon in 1905, he had keen interest in Fauvism painting, in the next two years, he took part in the Fauvism art movement. However, his work was "serene Cantabile like" tone, different from the kind of strong colors, bold strokes and exciting authentic works of different styles of Fauvism. In 1907, he met Picasso, whose portrait painting of hard work, "the girl Avignon" dumped him, the two became best friends, co-planning the cubism movement.　 　
In 1908,Blake went to Ace Tucker ,where Cezanne landscape had drawn a lot of landscape paintings in his late period. There, Blake began to explore the natural geometric forms through landscape appearance. The "Ace Tucker's house," was a typical work at the time. In this painting, the house and trees were reduced to geometry. This approach was clearly derived from Cezanne. Cezanne summarized various physical of the nature as a cylinder, cone and sphere, Black pursued further geometry performing from images of the natural. His unique approach to compress the depth of the screen space, made the house look like a pressed carton in the painting, ranging between the flat and three-dimensional effect. Scene in the painting was not arranged before and after the stack, but get ahead in the top-down way, so that the number of images had been to the top of the screen. all the scenery in the portrait painting, whether the most far-reaching or the most promising, both of them have the same clarity to show in the picture. At that stage when Blake made this painting, the style was clearly showing Cezanne’s impact, therefore, this phase also was known as "type Cezanne Cubism Period."
"Mandolin", Black’s works ,1909-1910, the canvas oil painting ,79-59 cm, London, Tate Art Museum.
Works made by Braque and Picasso in the analysis of three-dimensional during the period, style was so close that it was hard to determine what people did when put together. Which was extremely rare phenomenon in the history of art. They not only painting the same and the selected topics were also very similar. They favored drawing instruments. Blake loved music, so musical instruments and sheet music were especially prevalent in his works. The portrait painting "Mandolin" made in 1909-1910 was a masterpiece of Black during the period of three-dimensional analysis. In the same period, Picasso's paintings had also appeared such instruments.
It is said that cubist’s preference to the subject of mandolin, was in large part , effected by the famous poet Mallarme (Mallarme). In Mallarme's poem, the mandolin was the most preferred symbol , was a multiple metaphor. It can play the music because of their own identity, face was treated as a symbol of artistic creation, at the same time, because of the similar shape of the woman's uterus, it was considered the creation of a similar hint. However, to the cubist , Mallarme's influence was not to choose the instrument the subject, but art techniques in its decomposition and reconstruction of the poetry creation. Cubist decomposed objective images and re-painting fragments in decomposition . How much Mallarme had influenced!
