Compare And Contrast Of Mount Of Holy Victory, By Paul Cezanne

Thirdly, the execution of the composition is most important as it ties together and pieces all the factors that reflect the personal views and characteristics of the painter. Impressionists would often lay pure colors side by side on the canvas to give an overall appearance of a blend of colors. Through Caillebotte’s pure color use, his vibrancy shines through attributing his work as better.

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.

One of the most influential painters of the twentieth century was Paul Cezanne. He was willing to break the traditionally accepted artistic practice in order to better portray his artistic creativity. Cezanne was became part of the movement that followed the Impressionists called the Post-Impressionism movement. The artists who were the driving forces behind this movement were Gauguin, Van Gogh, Seurat, and Cezanne. These artists were placed in this grouping because they were the avant-garde artists of the time period, who wanted to be able to express their emotions rather than simply representing what they saw. Cezanne’s Mont Sainte-Victoire seen from The Bibemus Quarry was painted in 1985. Mont Sainte-Victoire is a mountain that is in the South of France and overlooks the Aix-en-Provence, which happens to be the hometown of Paul Cezanne. This work exemplifies the Post-Impressionistic techniques because Cezanne utilized the avant-garde techniques, while at the same time demonstrating the relationship between the artist and the work.

He created a new way of observing nature. A type of analysis wherein he deconstructs what he sees and then reconstructs it on the canvas, giving it a new structure. The impact of Cézanne’s work is seen throughout modern art for many years after his death. In 1907, the year after his death, there was a retrospective of Cézanne’s life, which is said to have been how the majority of the avant-garde was won over by his work (Ofila,3). “Mount Sainte-Victoire”, being painted in the final years of his life, is a great summation of Cézanne’s technique and artistic style. It is therefore, a good representation of his brand of modernism. All the techniques that Cézanne developed over the course of his life were employed in this painting, which makes it, though not a very famous one, a great

The first thing to note is the overall composition of the painting. First and foremost it is a landscape painting. The colors are very monochrome; the space is stretched to reveal a depth to the painting that the eye cannot capture; and there is stillness to the art that embraces nature and serenity of life. In the right-hand corner of the painting there is calligraphy. The calligraphy lacks the precision, but is very clear in its form, much like the depiction within the painting

Stylistically, his painting is an example of the “smooth” manner, characterized by fine technique in the portrayal of illusionistic form. In this painting, Calabrese uses strong directional lighting from the top, left corner of the painting to highlight the scene. It is Caravagesque in the way

We can also see the use of black shades to create a hole at the bottom part of the rock. With his excellent use of colors, we can identify the good, healthy and green grass from the bad, unhealthy, brown grasses. Looking beyond the main focus of the painting, he uses colors to separate the sky from the land in the background creating a solid form of perspective on the painting. He also uses colors to create water forms as seen behind the young character. Now, for the sky, he uses shades of white to magnificently differentiate the thick clouds from the light ones. He also uses this to create a source to light to the whole area. All these put together creates a splendid, realistic and familiar atmosphere for the viewers to relate with.

Garden at Sainte-Adresse and The Oxbow The Metropolitan Museum of Art is an astonishing place where people from all around the world gather to see wonderful art objects that some of it goes back the early centuries and even before the born of the Christ. Fortunately I had the opportunity to visit it and examine with my own eyes two of the most wonderful painting that I have ever seen (Garden at Sainte-Adresse and The Oxbow). I would like first to talk about my trip to the museum and then I will describe the two painting in details and give my overall impression about them. I actually got lucky because my uncle was going to New York City so he took me with him and by that I saved time and I had more time to spend in the museum. At the heart

The mesmerizing painting created by the 20th Century French artist Paul Cezanne portrays how even incomplete works are capable of depicting its own form of art and overall experience. His painting On the Banks of a River is constructed using oil on canvas and is an unfinished lifelike rendering of a natural scenery; well-preserved today at the RISD Museum. Cezanne’s process of painting and his techniques are clearly discernible in this early stage of art. Likely using a wide brush, his paint strokes are both purposeful and confident where his objective is to present only the most vital parts of the piece and each object’s location, creating an artwork made up of blocky, thick, and layered strokes similar to that of impasto paintings (a technique that layers large amounts of paint in order to form a larger picture). From close up it is challenging to distinguish the subject of the painting besides multicolored blotches of paint, but at a distance one can grasp the different shapes and colors merge to form a complete landscape. There are also three layers to this work, each diverse and together offers a sense of depth in the form of overlapping grounds and value contrasts. The foreground is the warmest, composed mainly of a sandy yellow color dotted with gray streaks possibly representative of stones or pavement, with some blue highlights to contrast the dirty yellow. The middle ground is the most detailed and consists of many dark colors and bright red and yellow geometric

As instrumental as Matisse and Picasso were to the development and evolution of modern art, they were inspired by Cézanne. In this essay, I will describe how Paul Cézanne's The Large Bathers (1906) inspired Matisse and Picasso but also how they evolved. It is evident that while still embracing the abstract style emerging in the turn of the century, Cézanne still chose to compose his painting in a classical way. (Harris & Zucker, n.d.) There is still a believable perspective in the painting, even if the forms of the women are abstract but familiar.

This essay will discuss the significant similarities and differences between Paul Cézanne’s work, Still Life with Pot of Flowers and Pears painted in 1880-90 and Louise Moillon’s work, Still Life with Bowl of Curaçao Oranges painted in 1634. Although both painters were born in France, they were painting during time periods. Moillon was born in 1609 in Paris and was painting during the Baroque era, which encompassed intense shadow and rich colours (Harrison, 2010). Cezanne was born in 1839 in Aix-en-Providence and was paining in the Post-Impressionism era, which included thick applications of paint and had a more expressive effect (Harrison, 2010). Both works are created with oil paint, however, Cezanne has chosen to paint his work on canvas, whereas Moillon’s work is displayed on panel.

A great artist once wrote, “If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced”. This artist was Vincent van Gogh, soon to be an appraised artist known all around the world for his works, such as Starry Night. He is one of the very first artists of the post-impressionist style than is now adored in every continent. However, there is much more to the man than one painting. Creating a full timeline that stretches beyond Gogh’s life, this paper will discuss the life of Vincent van Gogh and the impression he made on the world.

During Ernest Hemingway’s time in Paris, 1921-26, he frequented the Musée du Luxembourg where he encountered the work of Paul Cézanne (1839-1906). Hemingway cites the post-impressionistic painter as a major influence multiple times, but does so in a particularly enlightening manner within his posthumously published memoir, A Moveable Feast, from 1964: “I was learning something from the painting of Cézanne that made writing simple true sentences far from enough to make the stories have the dimensions that I was trying to put in them. I was learning very much from him but I was not articulate enough to explain it to anyone. Besides it was a secret” (13). There were many things Hemingway saw when he looked at Cézanne’s artwork in the Musée

As well as Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre, Pablo Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon was inspired by and deviated from Cezanne’s great achievement. Cezanne’s landscape is a broad open field with the abstract females surround a pond as they bath with abstract surroundings, very much different from Picasso’s

The artist of this painting was named Vincent van Gogh and he was born on the 30th of March in 1853. He was known to be a self-taught painter of the post-impressionist style. Post-impressionism was used to describe the development of French art since Manet. Vincent van Gogh artist style was to practice the uses of bright colors, distinctive brush strokes, thick application of paint, and unwavering subject matter about the realities of life in this masterpiece. Vincent van Gogh found his place in art and produced emotional and visually attractive paintings over the course of a career that lasted about a decade.
