Comparison Of Marquet And Moreeau's Virtue

Artist Leonid Afremov was born on July 12, 1955 in Vitebsk, Belarus. He is a Russian-Israeli known for using palette knives to spread oil paint across the canvas. Growing up his parents noticed at a young age that he was gifted in art. In college, Afremov took as many classes as he could that had to do with the subject of art. He also took many private lessons from local famous artist. He became more knowledgeable about many artist such as Picasso, Monet, Dali, and etc. Afremov learned about many art movements. One of the movements that caught his attention was the 19th century French Impressionism. The French Impressionism is based less on detail but driven more by color and brush strokes. He hardly shows his work in galleries

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.

Art is a medium for exploring a culture’s characteristics during a specific time. Understanding an art piece’s content and historical significance can reveal key details about different civilizations. Following the time period of the Renaissance, European artists experimented with styles to separate their works from the prior time period. They strayed away from even lighting, stillness, and symmetry to form a new artistic style that differed from the Renaissance. This type of style was labeled the Baroque, a European aesthetic focused on movement, emotion, and drama. Francois Boucher was a French artist from this time that embraced the rising Baroque style. In the 17th century, the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture was created in France.

Great artists of the world were also creating some of their most brilliant work during this decade. Henri Matisse fought to find the artistic freedom he needed by creating the Fauvist movement in the early 1900’s(Pioch 2). Fauvism led to the larger movement called Expressionism, a term used to describe any art that raises subjective feelings above objective observations (Pioch 4). Georges Rouault was another pioneer of the Expressionist movement; he was a Frenchman who linked the decorative effects of Fauvism in France with the symbolic color of German Expressionism (Pioch 6). Another leading artist of the time period was Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a German who wanted his art to be a bridge to the future (Pioch 6). These men were very important artists, but

The painting of Prof. Felix Walter (Figure 1) made with watercolour on paper on stretcher by Charles Fraser Comfort stands out as an intriguing piece of artwork because of the visual choices C. F. Comfort has produced. I was able to appreciate this work as I had the privilege of attending the Nuit Blanche exhibit at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Winnipeg on the first of October, 2016 where Prof. Felix Walter was in display at. I found this particular artistry stood out because of its placement in dominance from the other paintings, the use of contrasting styles using the same medium and the bold textures that divulge the prominence of the subject. The artist, C. F. Comfort is worth being aware of because of his exceptional work such as this painting. The composition fashioned by the art gallery should also be duly noted as it took part in making this particular piece stand out.

When studying artists, styles of art and their respective time period, it is always important to find a few key artists that were responsible for the rise of new art trends. Traditionally, art has often a reflection of the most important elements within its respective time period, such as wars, religions, royalty, culture and expression. This is why the study of art history is needs to look deeper than simply understanding how certain artworks were created. Among the various artists studied in the course, Andy Warhol is definitely one of the most influential. Far ahead of his time in thinking and talented in several media forms, Warhol was a product of his time and defined his era with the use of his artwork, giving rise to other artists within the same time period. This paper will argue that Warhol was not only an influence to modern art, he defined the concept of "pop art", which combined consumerism and pop culture, creating works that questioned the norm of society at the time, while providing a strong influence to future artists. Warhol was hugely successful in his artistic efforts and several of his staple works will be discussed in regards to its significance and representation of its respective period of time, as well as Warhol’s influence on the history of art.

Henri Matisse was known as the Fauvists leader due to his work of pure colors and bright lights. In 1906, he traveled to Africa and was inspired by the sculpture art. One of his best known works are the Back relief and Large Seated Nude. His work reflected the different body shape of African woman. In 1907, The Blue Nude is a series of paintings that was inspired

One day in 1893, Pierre Bonaire strolled on the streets of Paris. Many years later, he will be the post-impressionist Zongjiang, founder of the Nabi School of painting and the world, but then, he was just a 26-year-old solo painter. In the street, he helped a girl cross the road, and then occasionally began to chat: she said he was 16 years old, called Mardel de Mellini, first came to Paris, working in the flower shop. Later she became Bonnard's model, and then naturally become the lover of Bonnard.

He studied art at the Munich Academy training in conventional figure and landscape drawings. Klee traveled to Italy and Paris where he was inspired by the antiquities of Rome and studied the Old Masters in the Louvre. In Germany he was attentive of the Munich exhibitions of Impressionists and Post-Impressionists painting and was particularly intrigued by the works of van Gogh, Cézanne, and Matisse (Temkin). In 1912, he viewed the work of Cubists and Italian Futurists in exhibitions and was compelled by the color theories of Robert Delaunay's art (Rodgers). During the outbreak of World War I, Klee was enlisted to serve in the military where he produced work exploring expressionist qualities (Temkin).

Impressionism is an art movement initiated in France (Paris) in 19th century. The name of this art movement was taken from a French artist’s name called Claude Monet, who painted his artwork (impression, sunrise). Impressionism art movement combined a group of prominent French artists, who their exhibitions became more important through 1870 – 1880s, despite the opposition from the classical art community in France. Claude Monet’s painting was provoked by the Critic Louis Leroy.

On September 4, 2016, I visited the Matisse in His Time exhibit at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. This exhibit is home to a plethora of pieces by many different European artists from the 19th and 20th centuries. While it is focused on Matisse and his extensive works, containing more than 50 of his pieces, there are many portraits and sculptures by other influential artists from that time period including Renoir, Picasso, and Georges Braque. Three of the most appealing works that I encountered in this exhibit are Maurice de Vlaminck’s Portrait of Père Bouju, Pablo Picasso’s Reclining Woman on a Blue Divan, and Henri Matisse’s sculpture series Henriette I, Henriette II, and Henriette III.

At Carrington’s age of ten, she knew what she wanted to become after she first saw a surrealist painting at a gallery. However, her father was conflicted with her decision. She didn’t give up and at 18 years old, she started her first art program at Chelsea School of Art in London. While there, she met Max Ernst. He inspired her in surrealistic paintings and soon they started developing their artist career as a couple. She even created a painting of him as a tribute to their relationship, “Portrait of Max Ernst” (1939). However, the sweet romance didn’t last so long. Because

Observers of Van Gogh’s life believed that his eccentricities, compounded to create many distressing experiences that directly impacted the development of Expressionism. This was visible from his early childhood. Painting was no longer seen through pictures, it became a crucible that could hold all of the artist’s passions, conflicts, and unrealized dreams.

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.

Alberti makes it clear that he is not concerned with painting’s origins, even though he briefly discusses them. Subsequently, the author uses old writings as reference to strengthen his point of view on how highly painting is esteemed above other “crafts” history. It is therefore clear that the author believes painting to be somewhat in metaphysical nature, something beyond the ordinary.
