Claude Monet Influences

Every artist has his or her own style of painting. Each painting tells some sort of story or has some type of personal meaning to the artist. One of the most important figures in modern art is Pablo Picasso. Not only was Pablo Picasso a genius in the field of abstract art, but he also experimented with sculpting and ceramics. Pablo Picasso has taken the world to many places with his unique style of work which is why I believe he is considered to be a genius of the 20th century.

Pablo Picasso once stated, “Colors, like features, follow the changes of emotions.” This quote explains how Picasso’s work changed over the course of his life. Picasso had several art periods in which anyone is able to see the change of both colors and emotions in his works. For example, Picasso’s Blue period showed his melancholic emotions through blue tones, while during his Rose period he used brighter red and pink tones showing his more happy emotions. Pablo Picasso’s works expressed his emotions and depicted events throughout his life. Picasso’s artwork greatly influenced many people during his lifetime and he became even more influential and revered for his artwork after his death.

Having been greatly influenced by Vincent Van Gogh, who was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter most famous for his work, Starry Night (Figure 1), and an “influential figure in the history of Western art” (McKenna, 2015, p. 83), my creative work in photography includes still life and local landscapes. According to McKenna (2015), Van Gogh used contrasting colours and tones to achieve dramatic and vibrant masterpieces. Van Gogh also liked to play with lines and brushstrokes to lead the viewer through his painting. These ideas of using contrast and lines from Van Gogh is what influences most of my creative work, but instead of using oil paint and brushes, I use my digital camera to paint light. A Man’s Best Friend (Figure 2), is a photograph I

Impressionism art can be considered the first distinctly modern movement in painting, it was developed in Paris in the 1860’s but wasn’t first exhibited until 1874. Impressionist art turned away from the fine finish and detail that artist during the same time aspired to create. Impressionist captured or at least tried to capture momentary, and sensory effect of a scene. Impressionist didn’t rely heavily on realistic depictions of an object or scene, they loosed the brushwork and lightened their palettes to include intense pure colors. They didn’t follow the traditional linear perspective and clarity that previous art forms depicted to lesser ones. Many critics during the time faulted the impressionist paintings because of that

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was a French painter, born in Aix, France. Cézanne was born to a middle-class family, being his father the co-founder of a banking firm. Cézanne attended to good schools due to his family’s background. Paul was registered to the Bourbon College where he enhanced his skills. After meeting Émile Zola in the Bourbon College, Cézanne was encouraged to go deeper in his artistic career. Both of them had the idea of success in the industrial Paris. His father derailed his plans when he denied him to continue his artistic career. Paul was offered by his father to study law at the University of Aix-en-Provence. Cézanne accepted the offer and continued studying law for a time. After persuading his father to allow him to go to

Who is Monet? Usually the response I get is, “The flower guy?” Oscar-Claude Monet was the first French impressionist painter. Impressionism is the philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. According to Jie Chang the term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which was exhibited in 1874 in the first of the independent exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris.

Claude Monet was born in Paris on the 14th November, 1840. When he was five years old, he moved to the port town of Le Havre. For much of his childhood, Monet was considered by both his teachers and his parents to be undisciplined and, therefore, unlikely to make a success of his life. Enforcing this impression, Monet showed no interest in inheriting his father's wholesale grocery. The only subject which seemed to spark any interest in the child was painting. He developed a decent reputation in school for the caricatures he was fond of creating. By the age of fifteen, he was receiving commission for his work.

Henri Matisse was born on December 31, 1869, In Le Cateau Cambresis, France. When Henri was born he was in a small tumbledown weavers cottage on the rue du Chene Arnaud in the textile town of Le Cateau Cambresis at eight o'clock in the evening on the last night of the year [31 December 1869.] The house the Henri was held in had two bedrooms, it had an earth floor [just dirt and grass.] It also had a leaky roof [from the rain outside.] Matisse grew up in a world that was still detaching itself from a way of life in some ways unchanged since Roman times.

When Van Gogh was sixteen, his first job was working for his uncle at Goupil et Cie, an art gallery in The Hague. When he was nineteen he went to work at the Groupil Gallery in London and then to the gallery in Paris. He was finally fired from the gallery because he was not happy with his job and discoursed customers from buying the artwork. After that he decided that he wanted to be a preacher and studied to get into a theological school but failed. In 1879 he went to Borinage, a coal mining town, as a missionary to the poor coal miners. He lasted there a couple of years and then was dismissed.

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

During the Modern Era of the late 19th century and the early 20th century, many artists were turning away from the idea of painting realistic images. Photography, having just been developed for public use a few decades earlier, made artists of the day focus less on painting as an precise copy of what is seen, as had been done for centuries. Since the Middle Ages, most artists painted exact representations of life. Starting in the late 1800s, though, many artists were starting to embrace the theory of art as an impression of what is seen. Impressionism, the art movement that began in the 1870s in France, was the first real development of this new concept of painting. Impressionists, such as Claude Monet, sought to put on canvas how they

Claude Monet (1840-1926) also known as Oscar-Claude Monet or Claude Oscar Monet was one of the founding member of French impressionist movement painting and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement (Seitz). At a very young age of 15, Monet created his first developed a local reputation as a caricaturist. Through an exhibition of his caricatures in 1858 Monet met Eugène Boudin, a landscape painter who was the man responsible for introducing Monet to the new artistic style of painting and encouraging Monet to paint under open skies(Seitz). this
