Goya And Velázquez: Influences On Edouard's Life

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.

Mme Charpentier and her Children was a portrait and painted in the 1878 by Auguste Renoir a painter who resided in Limoges. The subject is identifiable because she is in the center of the room. The paint that was used was oil and work of art is impressionism. Also In this essay I am going to depict or take apart this work of art by breaking down each element. For example, the subject and general observation of the work of art. Along with the shape and form, medium and technique, the composition and the color of a work of art. Light and shadow and texture of a piece of art work. All of these elements create one single piece of art work.

Since the first brush stroke was taken in Europe, the paintings that have been produced have played a vital role in revealing our world 's past, history, religion and daily lives of its citizens. Each time period and movement have influenced artists from its first existence to even this very day, creating an extraordinary timeline of art and history as one. Frans Hals ' Merrymakers at Shrovetide of 1615 and Francois Boucher 's Interrupted Sleep of 1750 are no exception. Despite their different time periods and movements, the two paintings each have many parallels and at the same time very distinct styles which play on how influential artists ' styles are upon each other. Even with all of the differences and similarities, both paintings are

Claude Monet was the leader of impressionist painting movement. Manet, Cezanne, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, and Alfred Sisley, gave art the ability to

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.

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

A Bar at the Folies-Bergère (1882, oil on canvas, 96cm*130cm) is the painting that considered as the last major work of Edouard Manet. Edouard Manet (1832-1883), a famous France artist whose paintings was taken for a mark of the beginning of modern art. Manet was good at depicting scene and people from normal life by using his realistic and honest way. As the last large art work of Manet, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère has its special meaning of Manet— the conclusion in art of what he felt and saw before he passed away.

Edouard Manet’s painting A Bar at the Folies-Bergere, was completed in 1882 and is considered his last great painting. He displayed it at the Paris Salon just one year before his passing. This painting as vexed art historians throughout the years for its complex visual subject matter and leaves Manets true interpretation of his painting in the air for discussion. Although there are many interpretations, A Bar at the Folies-Bergere is an avant-garde; viewer engaging painting meant to give the viewer a new perspective, hence the mirror.

Edouard Manet's artwork is similar to Van Gogh’s by how both of the two painted multiple cafe scenes. Edouard’s artwork is different to Vincent’s in how Edouard also did Realism along with Impressionism, while Van Gogh focused mostly on Impressionism. Edgar Degas’s artwork is similar to Van Gogh’s in how both artists used a brushstroke technique in many paintings. Degas’s artwork is different than Van Gogh’s in how Degas used photography in his creative process. Van Gogh’s artwork is similar to Claude Monet’s in by how they both used many colors in their paintings which overlapped other colors. Monet’s artwork is different than Van Gogh’s in how Monet rarely, if ever, used browns, or earth colors in his work. Van gogh however often used dark earthy colors in his

Leonardo was very influential. “...exercised an enormous influence on contemporary and later artists” (Kemp 180). His way of creating art was shown in artists all throughout the generations.

One of Manet's painterly techniques during the 1860s was to compose by drawing upon earlier motifs, fusing them with new sensibilities. This allowed Manet to inject a healthy dose of irony into his work, as well as social commentary. The juxtaposition of outmoded motifs with new motifs was a thematic parallel to his juxtaposing outmoded social norms with new ones. Replacing old ideas, events, and people with contemporary ideas, events, and people allowed Manet to suggest a historical continuity, and the cyclical nature of history. Moreover, Manet could hearken to the recesses of his viewer's mind to draw attention to the artist's message. By the 1880s, Manet became adept at using quotations in his work. In The Execution of Maximilian, for example, Manet evokes the work of Spanish artist Francisco Goya. Manet remained an ardent admirer of Spanish art

The two art pieces that I want to write about are Bronzino's Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time, Mannerism art, and Manet’s Le Dejuner sur l’herbe, Realism art. Because these paintings were born in the periods when there was significant cultural and social changes, which influenced to their artistic style. The both paintings have nude female figures on the center of the paintings, but had received different criticism. Bronzino's Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time is one of the most famous works of art of Bronzino. The characters in the painting embody the provocative and chaotic Mannerism style. On the other hand, Le Dejuner sur l’herbe, get Monet criticized for its obscene scene, flat perspective and the naked women, which the society didn’t approve of. Le Dejuner sur l’herbe have Realism style characterized by muted color palette and subject matter of ordinary modern life.

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
