Gustav Klimt and Claude Monet both famous artist whom are born in different country which has different type of culture that influence the artist styles of painting or creating an artwork. Both are very different from each others artwork and both also have their own unique way of expressing their artwork. One thing they have in common is that both of them are involved in the making of modern arts. Gustav Klimt was a very well-known artist back in the 19th century, he was born on the 14th of July in 1862 in Vienna,Austria. His father, Ernst Klimt was a gold engraver whereas his mother, Anna Klimt whos ambition was to be a musical performer.When he was younger his father who was in a gold engraver had already taught him some arts and this made him realise his passion for arts. He dropped out of school when he was just 14 years old and later in the year 1876 he enrolled in the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts which is known in German as Kunstgewerbeschule. Later in the year 1877 his brother Ernst Klimt also enrolled in that school, Gustav studied in that school as a student in …show more content…
I also notice that this painting is symmetrical, even though the consistency isn’t really balanced but it looks symmetrical. This paintings subject matters are the human figures and the patterns just like the pervious painting ‘ The Kiss’. He also uses symbolism for the black bird on the right side of the tree., it is said that the black bird often symbolize as death. To me this painting is well detailed with all the patterns and it also has a focal point which is the tree, the tree was the main reason why I choose this painting, it is an unusual way to draw an tree this
There have been different art forms that have come and go over the course of time. Hence I will discuss, two significant movements like Post-impressionism and Pop art. Two important artists from these movements are, Vincent Van Gogh and Andy Warhol. There are many differences and very few similarities between these two movements and artists, although more differences. Van Gogh is one of the most captivating artists of post-impressionism. . Throughout his career Van Gogh has painted many works. One of those magnificent paintings is “Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh. In the other hand we will discuss one of the popular paintings “ Gold Marilyn” by Andy Warhol. Warhol is also the most famous of the Pop Artists and played a major role in making the art movement popular.
Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet are two highly influential contributors to the art world. Both are renowned artists whose creations are on display in several art museums throughout the world. They are two artistic geniuses who are more alike than they appear to be. While there are many similarities between the lives and art of these two prodigies there are numerous differences as well in their technique/style, subject matter, and personal lives.
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.
Texture and pattern are very easy to identify in this painting. The street’s cobblestones show texture and pattern in the way that they are arranged. Texture is also demonstrated through the paint strokes on the buildings, the tree, and even the sky. These thick, uneven strokes add a layer of depth and texture to all elements of the painting.
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 essay, I will be comparing and contrasting artists Pablo Picasso and Van Gogh, considering their intentions with their artwork. Van Gogh and Picasso two of the most famous artists out there and still are to this day. Uncountable books have been published and dedicated to them and their lives and careers of being true artist. Their art has changed the way people view things and the world around them.
Another important element these artists have in common is their similar composition and also their points of view.
The texture of the canvas works very well with the subject matter portrayed in the painting. The grassy hill side and the leaves of the trees are especially complimented by the canvas. It makes the leaves feel like they are slightly moving, this combined with the lack of detail itself the leaves. This is contrasted nicely with the very detailed renderings of the trunks and branches of the trees, the
I feel happy when I look at this painting because you see people laughing, eating, chatting, and smiling while having a good time outdoors in nice weather. When I divided the painting into four sections I seen in the top left boats sailing in the water with a bridge in the distance that I had not noticed that makes the art work look peaceful because of the colors used in the distance with the water. Another piece I had not noticed was in the top right piece of the work was a women holding her hands to her ears which may indicate that it is loud because of everyone socializing. In the bottom left corner you see a women talking to a dog that is sitting on the table which shows a sense of love. Also in the bottom right-hand side you see a women and two other men look like they are having a conversation. By these images it is clear to see some symbolism such as the dog on the table, these people are more than likely not very proper if they have a dog on the same table they just ate off of. Also the women holding her ears is symbolic and shows the viewer with all the people talking it is noisy. Another image that is symbolic is how the men are wearing revealing shirts while the
Every painting is a unique experience for each individual person, therefore two of the artists that offered some of the most unique experiences where Leonardo da vinci and Michelangelo. While both of these painters are today well regarded and remembered, during their time they both had achieved such status in vastly different ways. Therefore even though these two artists lived during the same time these two are nothing alike. With their unique take on the world and events around them they were able to shape how the average person thought about the world around them.
The art and beauty in this painting is exemplified through the eyes of Boucher. It starts with a beautiful couple taking a rest after picking up some followers. Their clothing looks very elegant and colorful which shows that they are aristocrats. The man’s eyes are gazing at a shepherdess who gathered her own flowers. Their eyes are locked despite the man having his own woman right in front of him. The light brushstrokes of the dresses, flowers, and trees
This painting shows how close and codependent humans and nature were. How well humans worked together with one another and their world. How peaceful those that are close to nature are, which is why it (nature) must be celebrated and appreciated.
“Under”). One could mistake that the focal point is the little figure under the birch tree who is a priest. However, the main point in this landscape is all about the birches. The reason why one could say so is because of all the visual elements such as: the birches are in the middle of the painting; they are also the most lighted objects in the painting (light is shining in the form of an oval) (National Gallery). Due to the levels of lightning one can see that the picture is divided into three horizontal parts: the top (dark, but not as dark as the bottom of the painting); the middle is the lightest; and the bottom is the darkest. This means that he used what he learned about the Dutch style and mixed it with his personal style thus we have a whole new way of seeing his point of view.
This painting is divided into three equal parts by the arches in the background and the characters correspond to each of these arches (TV12). The father is in the middle portion of the painting. The lines of perspective created by the tiled floor, draws our attention to the swords that the father is holding and the vanishing point lies just behind the handles of the sword. Our angle of vision is such that we are looking directly at the main figures groups, particularly the father. A single light source from the left of the picture illuminates the characters and also focuses our attention to the father holding the sword. This creates a ‘theatrical’ effect. The background is simple and stark so our attention is focussed on the figure groups in the painting. The painting has a wide tonal range that makes the composition logical and balanced. The colours used in this
That artist that I have chosen to research is Claude Monet. In class, we talked about the highly decorated artist and because he had a famous reputation my interest was sparked by him. I was curious about what made him so special in the art world. The Frenchman focused his work on the natural formation of objects and capturing light. His style was innovative and he was a leader in establishing Impressionism. When researching his work two pieces that caught my eye were Champ d’avoine (Figure 1) created in 1890 and Water Lilies (Figure 2) created in 1897. The impressionist style was present throughout his artwork which most often captured the outdoors.
