Art Analysis: Vernon In The Sun, By Francesco Oller

In Gustave Caillebotte’s painting, he uses a wide range of colors too, but these are more vibrant. The viewer is enticed to see themselves in the in the painting as there is an empty waiting to be occupied. The method of his

One of the last topics we discussed in class turned out to be a form of art that probably interests me more than almost every other type of art that we have discussed this entire semester. That form of art is the impressionist style of painting. I really love all the different brush strokes that form different images for different people. I also enjoy much of the images that the impressionists painted, because they are usually very relaxed and mellow images that put you into a comfortable place. The post-impressionist period, especially very early post-impressionist, is even better I think. I think it’s better because it is just a little more refined and puts more emphasis on the figure and form of different objects. Since I enjoyed the post-impressionist’s

During his ‘Dutch’ period, Van Gogh’s subject matter was primarily focused on the lifestyle of the poor and the bible (Dubecky). In his ‘French’ period, Van Gogh had begun to shift his focus to drawing nude figures and portraits. Monet, conversely, liked to paint his subject matters in series. He would paint “the same subject at different times of the day in different lights” (Brown 1536). Some series that he painted included water lilies, bridges, and haystacks. Something that Van Gogh and Monet both really took passion in is basing their art on their life experiences. They both painted their surroundings such as landscapes, seascapes, and people around them. Van Gogh would also draw still lifes of food and would paint paintings based on his emotions during his recovered bouts of mental illness.

Several of artists were known in the 15th century, one of these Post-Impressionists was the Dutch artist, Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh trusted that art was a type of expression. A painting was an enthusiastic and profound experience for him. He was born on March 30th, 1853 and passed away on July 29th, 1890. When Van Gogh was alive he sold only one of his painting, but now that he is dead he is the most famous artist. Each painting provides a certain way of information. The two painting's that caught my attention are "The Starry night." and "The potato eaters." These are the two paintings that are going to be compared. "The starry night" is one of the most well-known pieces of Van Gogh in modern culture. The reason why this painting is well liked

As famous post-impressionists of their time, both Olley and Van Gogh have executed their artworks in a stylistic manner. Their use of the impressionistic characteristics such as relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes most evident on the flowers and throughout the backgrounds in both of their paintings. Another example of a distinguishing impressionistic characteristic is their emphasis on the accurate depiction of light. Olley has effectively used this technique throughout the painting, mostly seen on the front poppies petals, the wine canter and the vase. Van Gogh has also used this

When you look at the two paintings; “The Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh, and “Number 1 1949” by Jackson Pollock; there are a few similarities about the meaning of the works of art. Their background and history are different. These paintings were created in two totally different eras and have different formal and technical aspects. Saying that, these works of art share no spiritual or moral value. Respectively these paintings have a great history and legacy. Two paintings created in different time periods have little in common but yet so much in common.

The second painting, Youth, painted in 1842, oil on canvas, 53 in × 76 in, continues to have a beautiful green landscape, we still see trees, flowers, mountains, and now we see a castle in the back. In this painting the view is widening. The child from the last painting now looks like adolescent. The

On Painting by Leon Alberti is, in essence, a book of guidelines for novice painters. Alberti explains that since paintings are meant to represent things that are seen, they need also be approached this way. In his theory, he breaks up the way of painting into three important components circumscription, composition, and the reception of light. Within these three are guidelines for the portrayal of subjects, spaces and emotion.

An artwork piece by Timothy Kobs was called Frankster. Many of people may have called it Frankenstein. As a child Timothy Kobs enamored of monster movies. The most iconic was Frankenstein from 1931. The very old movies were made in black and white.

The first painting was of a women painting inside the painting, and it looked liked she was in Egypt, and in one hand the women was holding a compass and in the other was a paper with math on it. The second painting looked like a family traveling somewhere in the 17th century. Both of these paintings were representational art. And both of these artworks also tell a story in a unique way. And there also seems to be hidden messages scattered around these paintings but if you look closely they open a hole new meaning to the art. The second painting looked like it belonged to an artistic tradition due it being English. The first painting was called the Allegory of Geometry, and the artist who made this was Laurent de la Hyre. The second painting was called Landscape with Country Carts, and the artist who created this was Thomas Gainsborough. Thomas Gainsborough personality played a role in creating the art, he was a landscape painter, draughtsman, and printmaker. He also surpassed his rival Sir Joshua Reynolds to become the dominant British portraitist of the second half of the 18th century. After doing a visual analysis of the artwork I noticed that the Allegory of Geometry was more sharp than the Landscape with Country Carts, it had more detail in it. A formal analysis can be useful to tell an artist's use of aspects such as color, shape, line, mass, and

Prompt: Select and fully identify two paintings from different art historical periods and cultures that depict the same subject or theme.  Then discuss how the presentations are a reflection of the culture and style in which it was created.

At close inspection, the colors red, white, yellow and blue placed side by side looked unintelligible as they are placed throughout the trees on the left side of the painting. At a distance, however, the colors begin to mix into different variations of orange, green, yellow, white, blue, and red, making the palette more interesting. This technique is used on the entire painting. The water’s reflection of the trees uses the same technique. Like in Claude Monet’s first major Impressionism painting, Impression: Sunrise (Garnier, 823), the painting Autumn on the Seine, Argenteuil also uses the brushy strokes. Both use a body of water’s reflection in the piece, making the water itself more interesting, and giving Autumn on the Seine, Argenteuil perspective.

Everyone has been created unique and there is no other that is the like anyone else. People think different, dress different and like and dislike certain things. This is similar to the artists of the nineteenth century including Pierre Etienne Theodore Rousseau and Joseph Mallord William Turner. They are both artists during the nineteenth century and were painted at the same time; however, there is a difference between their styles, their point of view, and the scenery. However there are similarities between the two paintings. The paintings that will be compared and contrasted are “Under the Birches, Evening” and “The Campo Santo, Venice.”

Claude Monet was born in Paris in 1840 and would become known as one of France’s famous painters. Monet is often attributed with being the leading figure of the style of impressionism; but this was not always the case. Monet started out his career as a caricaturist, showing great skill. Eventually “Monet began to accompany [Eugène] Boudin as the older artist . . . worked outdoors, . . . this “truthful” painting, Monet later claimed, had determined his path as an artist.” Monet’s goal took off as his popularity grew in the mid 1870s after he switched from figure painting to the landscape impressionist style. William Seitz supports this statement through his quote, “The landscapes Monet painted at Argenteuil between 1872 and 1877 are

Beyond the simple fact that one (post-impressionism) cannot have existed without the other (impressionism) the revolutionary technique shared by both movements; small, generally circular or curved strokes, brilliant colors, use of light, and subject matter that reached beyond the traditional scope ties them together in a unique and easily identifiable manner. One cannot view Monet’s Impressions: soleil levant and Van Gogh’s Starry Night without instantly seeing the undeniable similarities; both artists’ use of light and deliberate brush strokes leave the viewer with little doubt about the artistic movements from which they came.
