Hello!
How are you? Today I will show you here two very different paintings.
The one at the top is by the 19th-century French artist Gustave Courbet. The painting below it is by Henri Le Fauconnier, an early 20th-century painter also from France.
Courbet's painting is an example of a style called realism (写実主義). It tried to show life the way it was lived by everyday people, almost in a documentary style. But Fauconnier's painting is very different - it is an example of a style called cubism (キュービズム). It tried to show people, objects, and nature from different angles and directions all at once - for example, showing a 3-D object like a table at every possible angle on a flat, 2-D surface.
The most famous Realist artist was Gustave Courbet, while the most famous Cubist artist was Pablo Picasso.

Activity/pre-class preparation (for next class)
Let's look at these paintings. Which ones do you like? What kind of feeling do you get from each one? Talk about these with your classmates!
(Is it possible that cubism is realistic, in the way it tries to show people and things as they are in physical space and time? Maybe we can't see things in every way at one time, but we experience them in 3-D space and time. This is just an idea!)
