Impressionism is an artistic style of painting that originated in France in the 1870s. This style of painting attempts to capture an experience or emotion opposed depicting a scene accurately. Every impressionistic painter has a distinct method of rendering as well as their own distinct set of qualities that reflect the artist themselves. For instance, The Basket Chair by Berthe Morisot and The Orange Trees by Gustave Caillebotte are two impressionist works of art of oils on canvas that contrast in many ways. These two paintings will be compared side by side with an in depth approach comparing the artist’s personal status in society, modernism’s role in the piece, and the execution of composition.

While the painters after the Impressionism period were collectively called the “Post-Impressionists,” the label is quite reductive. Each artist had their own unique style, from Seurat’s pointillism to Signac’s mosaic-like divisionism, Cezanne, Émile Bernard, and others. These artists were all connected in that they were reacting to the aesthetics of Impressionism. Two of the more influential painters from this movement were Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, who aimed to connect with viewers on a deeper level by access Nature’s mystery and meaning beyond its superficial, observable level. However, each artist’s approach to achieving this goal was different. In close examination of Vincent van Gogh’s Self-Portrait (Dedicated to Paul Gauguin) and Paul Gauguin’s Self-Portrait with Portrait of Émile Bernard (Les misérables), one may clearly see the two artists’ contrasting styles on display.

Claude Monet is one of the most familiar and best loved of all Western artists. His images of poppy fields, poplar trees, water lilies and elegant ladies in blossoming gardens are familiar to people who have never seen the original paintings and may never have visited an art gallery. Monet's works have won a place in the affection of the general public that seems almost without parallel. (Rachman, 4) In the decades since his death in 1926, Monet's work has been intensely studied by a variety of art critics. However, none of his works have been as deeply studied as those done in Giverny, in the early twentieth century. During this time Monet's paintings, which focused on specific subject matter from various viewpoints,

In this paper, I choose to discuss three pieces of art from the 19th century Impressionist period and three from the Post-Impressionist period and how these six pieces of art compare to each style. Then I will draft a memo to the CEO of my company to describe the appearance, so that they will have an idea of what the art looks like and where it should be placed throughout the corporate offices. Next, we are going to explain the historical significance for each piece of artwork that I choose. Finally, I will descried to the CEO of my company how each piece of art matches the company’s overall image.

The oil on canvas landscape painting does not reveal the name of the painter, but instead it leaves the observer with several explicit and implicit clues which may lead the viewer a step closer to its creator and its reason for existing. Additionally knowing that the painting was created in France sometime around the mid 17th century narrows it down to a few possible influencing eras. Moreover, having the freedom as a spectator to make assumptions based on legitimate evidence lead me to think critically and got me to figure out the painter’s background information, intended audience, intentions, and etc.

His audience especially supported him on his road to fame in the late 1880’s and 90’s after his waterlilies series of artworks. During an exhibition in 1874 critics viewed Claude’s work ‘Impression Sunrise’ and dubbed painters who do such artworks as ‘Impressionists’. This was intended to be insulting as the critics thought the works to be more like unfinished drafts rather than a complete artwork. Claude on the other hand quite liked the term and embraced it fully as it fit his style quite well. During his lifetime Claude’s works were displayed in the Salon and by the Société Anonyme des Artistes, Peintres, Sculpteurs, and Graveurs in Impression Exhibitions. Currently, his works are displayed all over the world with most in Paris but many others in Britain, the USA and other European

The mundane setting of the painting was created purposefully to give the viewer a sense of calm. By painting a somewhat familiar scene to those that may have viewed it during this time period, the artist was able to allow the viewer to interject themselves directly into the painting. The nature of the geese as well as the maiden in the photo make it appear as if they were candidly captured with a camera in the middle of their daily routine. Unlike the Renaissance or other art periods that preceded Impressionism, the goal of the painting was not to convey any ideas, political beliefs, or promote one’s nationalism. The goal in this essence was to create a painting that captured a ‘scene’, which was done eloquently enough to allow the viewer to ‘transplant’ themselves directly into the scene if desired. The prowess of the painter was not meant to be evident in the painting. In fact, it is the mundane nature of the painting that is designed to make the viewer refrain from drawing any critical analysis of its curator.

This Painting depicts the landscape along the Seine River. It is a painting of the landscape from the view point in the middle of the river possibly on a bridge above the river. According to the MET website, he actually painting on a boat in the middle of the river (https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437125)

an important link between America and Europe because she is a consummate painter in the Impressionist mode of her own particularized style; but because she was well off enough to purchase Impressionist works and bring them back to the United States, which helped further tighten the link between American appreciation of Impressionism and the Impressionism being produced in France and in Europe in general” (L35, 22:28).

Hello to everyone reading my diary, I’m Alain ! It is nice to meet you, and oh boy do I have a lot to share with you guys! I have seen it all, from the amazing art done by my fellow Lascaux peoples, to the art that one of my so called “friends”, Leonard da Vinci created during the 15th century, all the way to the impressionism paintings done by artists that I came across! What a great journey it has been. Let’s get started by introducing one of my dearest friends, Achal Brice. He didn’t make his name in the history books, as he liked to do his art anonymously and to just get the art out there to show to people. This is what I loved about this friend. He drew paintings and made art because that was his true passion, not to get fame and not to get money. He liked to draw things from his memory, like in the example of the “Bison cave

When entering the room, people crowded around Monet’s pieces, which felt like an honor to see the type and techniques his work has. The colors describe the feeling of an early morning. The painting has a muted palette of blues, greens, and grays. The sunrise is orange and yellow which are surrounded by the clouds and smoke from steamboats. Three boats are shapes and visible while the rest fade into the distance. This painting is an example of plein air or outdoor painting. I also notice that Monet layered the colors so that when I viewed the painting from a far distance I knew what the painting was about however when I looked at it up close I saw brush strokes and

The Large Bathers, 1898-1905 is the largest of Paul Cezanne's pictures and has been cited as an example of his ideal of composition and his restoration of classic monumentality after its lapse during the nineteenth century. Cézanne’s great achievement forced the young Picasso, Matisse, and many other artists to contend with the implications of Cézanne’s art. This essay will discuss how both Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life) and Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon are considered as inspired by and breaking free of The Large Bathers.

The painting was done during a difficult period of Monet’s life. He was forced to leave Paris and return to his father’s house in Sainte-Adresse. It is a small village in Normandy at the mouth of the river Seine. During this period, Monet reached after the more rigorous construction of the painting. Every detail is drawn carefully; the composition is calibrated accurately; it does not remind soft and blurred tones of artist’s regular paintings. His brush is not as free as in other works. The figure, terrace, and sea make an impression of a strange stillness. This painting illustrates Monet’s experiments with plenty of shimmering and bright natural colors and a removal from the dark brown and black colors. Flowers are written by a variety of small, short strokes, which show the texture of the plants

Myself: Portrait- Landscape is one of the most representative painting from the genre “Portrait Landscape” which created by Henri Rousseau himself. In this painting, the artist (Henri Rousseau) first painted his favorite city in the background. In the painting, you can see the Eiffel Tower, the iron bridge crossing the Seine, and the ship along the river with different countries flags which are showing the Henri Rousseau favorite part of the city- Paris, France. In the foreground, the portrait is holding the paintbrush and the mixing palette representing Henri Rousseau himself. As Henri Rousseau is recognized as “Self-Taught” artist who never learns from any Art Academies, the inspirations of him mainly came from the nature around, the illustrations

Monet is a master of the impressionist advancement that rose during the nineteenth century. His elegant style and vigilant brush strokes tested the structure and set up guidelines of contemporary workmanship. Unmistakably, in any case, his work was subject to much examination and criticism from his partners. No ifs ands or buts, Monet's style, as depicted in his delineation titled Water Lillies, was not a sudden jump forward; rather, it was a transformative strategy of reliable progression. Nevertheless, it is basic to research to what degree Monet changed his style every through hello business.
