neoromantic

The term neo-romanticism is used to cover a variety of movements in philosophy, literature, music, painting, and architecture, as well as social movements, that exist after and incorporate elements from the era of Romanticism.

Neo-Romanticism is defined by three characteristics:

• A criticism of modern society as unconnected from nature.
• A wish or desire for a Utopian connection to nature uncoupled from social expectations and tradition.
• A rejection of the dichotomy between society and nature.

Neo-Romanticism was an art movement that began in the early twentieth century in Great Britain and peaked in the periods immediately before and after World War II.

Some of the composers have recently passed away, but I'll include them anyways.

• Corentin Boissier: Flute Sonata.
• Thomas Schmidt-Kowalski: Violin Concerto No.
• Jerome Ducros: Encore.
• Shin-Itchiro Yokoyama: Comme le Vent.
• Tyzen Hsiao: Piano Concerto in C Minor.
• Theodore Servin: Ballade in F-sharp Minor.

Instead, as their name suggests, the early Neo-Romantics – namely Sutherland and Nash - began by looking back to the original Romantics themselves – to the 'Ancients' William Blake, Samuel Palmer, and Edward Calvert.

Neo-romanticism is a term applied to the imaginative and often quite abstract landscape based painting of Paul Nash, Graham Sutherland and others in the late 1930s and 1940s.

Neoclassicism is characterized by clarity of form, sober colors, shallow space, strong horizontal and verticals that render that subject matter timeless (instead of temporal as in the dynamic Baroque works), and classical subject matter (or classicizing contemporary subject matter).

Neoclassic artists used sharply defined lines and brushstrokes, creating smooth areas. Other artists wanted different expressions of emotion and defined Romanticism based on historical events and natural landscapes using visible brushstrokes, less restrained.

In the 1890s a Neoromantic poetic revival occurred, reinstating the value of emotion and fantasy. The leader of these Symbolist poets was Johannes Jørgensen, whose finest works show a simplicity of style and intensity of feeling. (He later abandoned Symbolism for Roman Catholicism…

Whereas Neoclassicism focused on universal truths, historical examples, and logic, Romanticism focused on the personal subconscious, contemporary events, and the sublime. Romanticism also looked for more inspiration outside of Western aesthetics.

'The New Romantics' refers to a youth culture that burned briefly but brightly for the first two years of the 1980s. It's chief component was dressing up to outrageous levels, soundtracked by the style orientated synth driven pop music that was dominant at the time.
