Differences Between Henri De Lautrec's Painting And Degas Painting

First I want to talk about the differences. The first difference that I noticed was the different techniques that each artist used to create the painting. Van Gogh uses thicker brush strokes it looks like whereas Georges Seurat is much more refined and has much more distinct outlines. After further research I found that Seurat used the pointillism method, which is kind of similar to what Van Gogh did but allows for more detail, which I think is very important for Seurat because of the different people he is attempting to draw. Another difference that I noticed is the different colors that were used in the two paintings. Van Gogh’s painting has much more vibrant and vivid colors as compared to Seurat’s painting which has colors that seem flatter to me and don’t pop out at you near as much. This makes different objects in Seurat’s painting almost seem to blend in with the background whereas van Gogh’s painting makes everything pop out and stand on its own. I do think that Seurat does an excellent job of painting shadows where van Gogh does not have any shadows in his painting. I think the shadows in Seurat’s painting bring perception and make the painting more dynamic, whereas van Gogh’s painting uses the big tree, or whatever it is in the front, to bring more perception to the painting. I like this because I think van Gogh’s approach is much more conventional for the time whereas Seurat’s strategy is a

Technique and style are two things that an artist develops in order to define themselves. It acts as a trademark and it is what makes an artist’s work unique. Van Gogh and Monet have incredibly similar techniques and styles, however, it is the disparities within them that make them distinct. The

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.

Although both of these works of art represent a cafe setting, the color schemes and use of brushwork is the number one clue that separates them from each other. In Manet’s painting, he uses much brighter colors to show that the time of day is likely in the mid-afternoon. Hopper on the other hand uses a much darker palette to make the observer understand his is set during the night, hence the title of the work. “The Nighthawks”, has a much more realistic approach because of the clarity of the figures and the crispness of his line work. The characters in his work are easily distinguishable and are proportional. In Edouard’s painting, he uses very obscure brush strokes to create the figures shown. The foremost characters are visible but when you look into the background, they become almost blurry. He does this to draw your attention to the front most people.

Pablo Picasso’s way of drawing can be seen as very different and rather similar at the same time compared to Vincent Van Gogh’s method. Drawing allowed van Gogh to capture light and images more quickly than with painting and

Both groups painted contemporary pieces, inspired by landscapes and modern life. Impressionists focused on the lighting, and the natural movement of the setting they were painting. They painted things en Plein air (in open air). In order to truly capture the essence of an image, they believed that you must be experiencing it firsthand. They started to break away from the Realist perspective, with the lack of dimension and modeling. Impressionist had a particular interest in capturing transitory moments in time. They used unique angles and thinner brush strokes to capture the visual element of being in motion. There was a bigger emphasis on the use of color in impressionist works. They used a technique in which they applied color to already wet paint, to develop the colors of the painting. This style of painting was a gateway for post- impressionism.

While both pieces of Art have men as their main focus the techniques used to bring the pieces to life are greatly different

These paintings use the elements of art and principles of design very differently. Both pieces of art use implied lines. The lines are there, but you cannot see them as well. The use of colors is varies from painting to painting. In “Washington Crossing the Delaware”, the artist uses dark colors and shading. The artist of “The Harvester’s Meal” made use of duller, lighter colors. These are both made with oil. “Washington Crossing the Delaware” was made on a campus and “The Harvester’s Meal” was made on a panel”. The shapes of the people in both paintings are created through implied lines. Both artists made use of negative space, by placing people in the foreground of the paintings. They have very different values. In the painting with George

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.

Eventhough they differ heavily at the base level they are similar. Neither artist have an underlying symbol to thier work. They just want to entertain and invoke emotions through thier work. They also don't focus on anything in particular with thier work. Art is art in the end of the day and they both show elemnts in thier work. Both of them use this to create work that is interesting to

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.

Degas had a clear fascination with human forms, in the 1870s he revealed his passion for contemporary subject matter, becoming a specialist on the dramatic world of ballet and theater. In "The Dance Class" he shows us two dancers waiting to be assessed by ballet master Jules Perrot. His lively brushwork and light, bright colors were typical of the Impressionist movement. Their use of color was partly influenced by Japanese print, in what was called in France Japonism

Toulouse’s art inspires me to paint in a similar fashion, how he can get so much across with such a simple painting. The reason for choosing him was that La Toilette captured me, it is such a beautiful painting but it so simple. It doesn’t show the face of the model and only use blue as its main colour but it still gets something across the viewer. That is what inspires me, that even though he painted in such a simple way, he still communicated his messages and meanings easily.

Everyone has been created unique and there is no other that is the like anyone else. People think different, dress different and like and dislike certain things. This is similar to the artists of the nineteenth century including Pierre Etienne Theodore Rousseau and Joseph Mallord William Turner. They are both artists during the nineteenth century and were painted at the same time; however, there is a difference between their styles, their point of view, and the scenery. However there are similarities between the two paintings. The paintings that will be compared and contrasted are “Under the Birches, Evening” and “The Campo Santo, Venice.”

The first painting was created by Jacques-Louis David while he was imprisoned in Luxembourg Palace for supporting Maximilien Robespierre around the time of the French Revolution. The painting is based around an incident that took place around the early history of Rome, and in the painting a group of women are shown trying to separate Sabine and roman soldiers. The other painting, “Massacre at Chios,” depicts the massacring of Greek civilians at the hands of ottoman troops during the Greek war of independence in 1822. The third painting, “Guernica,” represents the chaos that resulted from the bombing of a town in Spain that shares the same name as the painting, at the hands of German Luftwaffe forces. In this painting Picasso uses abstraction to depict the massacre and perhaps to leave the deeper meaning up for the viewer to figure out on their own. As for all three paintings, they are all based around the theme of innocent people getting caught between the conflicts of groups of people, and of course the disaster that resulted. Another thing that makes them similar is that the paintings were also influenced by a conflict that was occurring at the time of their creation such as the French revolution for J.L. David’s painting, the massacre that occurred at Chios during the Greek war for independence in 1822 for Delacroix’s painting, and the bombing of the town of Guernica by Nazi air forces for Picasso’s painting. The way in which they are all different is in what the paintings were inspired by and the style that was used to portray a message or reference something that the painter had in mind. In J.L. David’s painting it was his imprisonment during the French revolution and the French’s desire to restore ancient roman values into civilian life that inspired David to paint “The Intervention of the Sabine Women.” As for Delacroix, his painting is different because he
