Bonheur De Vivre And Demoiselles D Avignon

Seurat and Monet both approach the same ideas and concepts to create too very separate and unique works that actually have a lot in common in subject matter as well as both historically and stylistically. Overall, both paintings, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat and La Grenouillère by Claude Monet, are excellent

The painting Udney Maria Blakeley (1830), by Thomas Sully, was the first painting that came to mind when assigned the project: the painting has fascinated me both as a child and an adult due to the beauty of both the woman in the painting, but also from my deeper understanding of art now. Thomas Sully used the wet medium of oil on canvas, and included the woman in the foreground of the painting holding a rose in a vase in her right hand. There is a deep contrast between the women dressed in a white gown, and the darker background of the painting. Due to the highlighting along the left side of her face, and the shadowing on the right, it can be assumed that she is facing, or even looking straight at the

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (The Young Ladies of Avignon, and originally titled The Brothel of Avignon) is a large oil painting of 1907 by the Spanish artist Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881–1973). The work portrays five nude female prostitutes from a brothel on Avinyó Street in Barcelona. Each figure is depicted in a disconcerting confrontational manner and none are conventionally feminine. The women appear as slightly menacing and rendered with angular and disjointed body shapes. Two are shown with African mask-like faces and three more with faces in the Iberian style of Picasso's native Spain, giving them a savage aura. In this adaptation of Primitivism and abandonment of perspective in favor of a flat, two-dimensional

One of the paintings I choose is Mother and Child, 1900 by, Mary. Mary Stevenson Cassatt (May 22, 1844 - June 14, 1926) was an American painter and printmaker. She often created images of the social and private lives of women, mostly of the intimate bonds between mothers and children. The year the painting was created in the 1900.The painting it is located at Brooklyn Museum Of Art, New York, USA.

Both of these works of art have a dull-like feel to them. Although, in Van Gogh’s painting, less of the town had been painted. Having chosen to paint only a few houses from the town, this gives the viewers a feel of homeliness. With this being said, the use of color in Van Gogh’s is much more, and to a point, more vibrant than Cezanne’s. The color in both works of art accomplishes much more than add to the beauty of the surroundings and landscape. The color used in both these paintings does a stunning job describing the world around them. Even though the color may be dull, it adds to the emotion of both paintings. With Cezanne's having a bigger point of view than Van Gogh’s, the color is distributed immensely in ‘Auvers, Panoramic view’. Having this be said, in Cezanne's the viewer gains a superior perspective on the surroundings and the atmosphere the town gives off. Even with the dull-like coloring in both, it gives the viewer a sense of peacefulness and

The piece I chose is Pablo Picasso’s “Nude combing her hair”. I first saw it at the Kimbell Art Museum and remember admiring it. It was finished in 1906 and is oil paint on canvas. The main (only) figure in this painting is a nude woman, standing, who appears to be combing through her hair with her fingers after bathing. Although abstract, Picasso creates a very elegant, raw, and naturalistic form using color, space, and his depiction of figure.

Picasso is more spontaneous application of color, there is less uniformity. In Matisse there are more color schemes, the composition is more rigid, even if it's not more descriptive; it is a still life more organized, with more degree of stability. Unlike nudes of Picasso, the nudes of Matisse with safety on the line and in the tone, makes to describe him as a flat painter. Matisse made a complex image, winning the back of the woman through the looking glass with a few simple strokes, spontaneous, but courteous Matisse achieved the creation of a space, bed, and room which is no longer description to be magic and especially calligraphic rhythm. If Picasso paraphrased other artists, Matisse makes metaphor from other poems, as the mirror

Van Gogh stares at guests with such solemn eyes that seem to be all colors at once. Claude Monet takes you to the French country side that are covered in swaying pastures of yellow wildflowers and haystacks. The relaxed posed of Renoir’s nude female models shows the realistic ideas the impressionism artists had for the future of art. They painted the true colors of the world around them and present them to us as we pass through the hallways. There is a muffled quietness in the exhibit as everyone observes the sound the paintings reflect as though trying to here the gentle breeze in Monet’s painting of water lilies. Everyone gathers to gaze at George Seurat’s meticulous work that covers an expansive wall which barely contains the impressive effort. Cameras flash trying to capture the unique and awe-inspiring talent and dedication that made Seurat famous but none are able. No one can truly capture the detail and dedication that all artists put into their work through photos, you have to stand right in front of it to come

Gerome used the medium oil on canvas to create The Bath, which shows two women, one is washing the other in a large bathing room. One woman with black hair is fully nude and sitting on a brown cage with bars so you can see through it, and her face is not shown. The other women is African American and is wearing a dark green garment that wraps around her body with a yellow, orange, and green scarf around her head. The walls are teal in color with highlights of light purple on the wall left of the two women. On the wall there is a strip of purple flowers with a light yellow background. Going higher up the walls, the wall changes from teal to tan, then it changes to pink. The pink part of the wall is enclosed in a purple line around the area. In this enclosed area is words of a different language in teal lettering with two purple designs underneath it. There is a tan chandelier hanging from the ceiling on the left side of the painting, and underneath it is a sink that has symbols and artistic designs going all the way around it with a pool of water underneath. The two women are off centered to the right only a few steps away from the pool of water. The African American woman is cleaning the other woman’s back with a bath sponge in her right hand, while she is holding the woman’s right arm with her left hand. There are two towels on the wall behind

When dealing with Pablo Picasso’s pieces of work, either a person adores them or hates them. I began noticing Picasso’s art and style of art on the History Channel’s show Pawnstars. He always had a different way of seeing art, like if all the students in the classroom were drawing circles, he would be drawing squares and acute angles. His oil painting of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, is one of his great forms of cubism. Also, a form of unfairness towards Africans at the time (Such as Disney’s film, Song of the South). Picasso did view Africa and Africans as savages at the time. Numerous historians would classify Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, as a piece from his “Nergo Period” due to France heavy trade with Africa at the time. Historians, scholars,

The first of the three, and my personal favorite, is “Pont Saint-Michel” by Matisse. This piece is very simple, yet has a calming and elegant color scheme and medium. This oil on canvas cityscape uses rough brushstrokes and very few exact lines in order to show an inexact representation of the bridge and its surrounding buildings. The buildings have very little true form, and seem to blend into one another. Their colors are mostly primary, with reds, yellows, and blues standing out the most. These aspects all intertwine in order to show an imperfect representation of a view that Matisse saw nearly every day out of his window. Since Matisse painted this scene multiple times throughout the years that he lived in this building, the transformation in his art styles is apparent. Therefore, this painting shows his transition toward a Fauve composition, since he uses

Certain Matisse’s and Picasso’s works might at same time show both an influence and departure from Cézanne’s.

Why was “The Large Bathers” important? Cezanne produced classical forms but provided a relationship with abstraction of the canvas (Khan Academy, 2017). The timing of this painting I believe was important, it was shown in 1907 and purchased by Gertrude Stein and hung in her dining room where Picasso saw the painting

One painter’s style and artwork that caught my eye was Titian's The Flaying of Marsyas. The unique thing Titian did in The Flaying of Marsyas was portray the different views on what becoming a great artist was, the potential child, the young man not wanting to look at what risks becoming an artist can mean, and the old man questioning if he’s done enough. This is unique because all viewers can relate to either one of the four (fourth is of the great and accomplished Marsyas himself) views. The views

Paul Cezanne’s painting “The Large Bathers” was his last and arguably his greatest work. Cezanne labored on this painting for seven years. The subject is a group of women bathing by a river. The canvas
