Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec's Art

Henri Cartier Bresson (1908-2004) was a French photographer and photojournalist, working throughout his homeland of France and around the world. When looking at Cartier-Bresson's artistic practice – the physical actions, techniques and procedures used to create the work combined with the conceptual ideas, influences, meanings and beliefs – we can see an emphasis on the story behind the image rather than its formation. There is a subtle influence of composition on his works though, due to his interest in painting before he became a photographer.1 We can observe his ability to capture the decisive moment, producing a

In upper Paleolithic times in Europe, there was an insurrection in the construction of art. As was suggested by stalwart science writer, Lewin Rogers (1993) since 40,000 BC., there has been archaeological record that displays that structurally present-day humans excellently interchanged Neanderthals and persisted to be the lone hominid dwellers across continental Europe. The earliest art was constructed about this same time as it was directly linked to this development.

He imagined himself first as a minister but later on as a pharmacist. While in the U.S. Marines, he discovered his love for drawing and became interested in art. After leaving the Marines he studied art in Paris, but moved away from the European ideas of art. He focused on abstract and pop art and was also involved in Expressionism. He rejected the seriousness of the Abstract Expressionists and searched for a new way of painting and finally decided not to focus on just one medium and instead used many different ones. His work had many lines that created shapes and forms along with the use of bold colors. Many different famous figures and people were included in his artwork and depicted

Henri Rousseau, born in May 21, 1844, was a self-taught artist who started his artistic career when he was forty. He began his life working as a clerk, then he joined the French army after being accused of stealing money from his employer. He later moved to Paris and obtained a job working for the French Customs Office, and it was there that he began painting part-time. It was really this background of his that allowed his paintings to be original and uninfluenced by traditional painting techniques. Since he was a self-taught artist and had no significant experience with painting, he had the freedom to paint as he perceived and as he imagined. Henri Rousseau was a man who liked to exaggerate his life to make himself seem adventurous and exciting. He made up stories about his time in the military and overstated his importance in the Customs office where he worked. This was also reflected in his artwork where manipulated the painting to emphasize beauty and excitement.

His early paintings had an unconventional, unique, and unfinished look about them. The images were known to everyone in everyday life.

My artwork is an appropriation of Henri de Toulouse’s La Toilette which I decided to reflect my own ideas of a personal experience of mine, which is the topic of tattoos. I feel that in our generation tattoos are more widely accepted by the younger generation but in my experience not with the older generation. My parents have a strong dislike towards tattoos and have told me that I would regret them and forever remind me of a bad mistake I made. But as I grew older I developed my own opinions on tattoos and have accepted them as pieces of art. I wanted to show through this painting that tattoos can still be soft and delicate which is the same feeling I receive when looking at La Toilette. I wanted to replicate that into my appropriation through

Claude Monet was a guy that was born on November 14, 1840. He was in a famous place that many of us know as Paris, France (Beard, 2015). Monet might have been in Paris, but he grew up in Normandy coast (Beard,2015). Claude was the oldest son of Adolphe Monet. When he was five years old his dad took over a sip-chandlering and grocery business (William,2016). Monet as a child spent a lot of time along the beach. He was able to study the movement of the sea very well and his love for nature. His first painting that he sold was when he was 15.

His aunt was also amateur painter and help him with his paintings with suggestions. The paintings that he was known for was for the series of caricatures of local personalities (Beard,2015). This is what had gotten his reputation up at age sixteen which to me is any early age to be a popular painter. Then as things went on he meets a guy named Eugene Boudin who was a marine painter (Beard, 2015). This artist let Monet to be able to see what air painting was like. It let him be able to change his views on painting to get a different perspective from this guy who teaching something new to him. After Monet learned about air painting it lead him on

Henri Emile-Benoit Matisse, a well-known French influential artist, was born on December 31, 1869 in LeCateau-Cambresis, France. He was a painter, sculptor, printmaker, and draughtsman, but he was more successful as a painter. Most of the time, his paintings are usually nudes, figures in landscapes, portraits, interior views, and his exaggerated form to express emotions made him a successful artist in the 20th century. He had many other artists that influenced him like Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Edward Munch, Paul Signac, John Peter Russell, and Paul Cezanne. Matisse did have a rival name Pablo Picasso who Gertrude Stein introduced them in 1906.

He was born in 1940. Due to his dyslexia he often did his school projects in a more creative way and his teachers were often very impressed.

He attended the University of Washington and Yale then went on to teaching classes at the University of Massachusetts. His style for his art was photorealism (glossy, mirror-like look of the photograph), but he also did portraiture (aspects of how self identity is always a composite and highly constructed, if not ultimately conflicted fiction. He worked with oil, acrylic, photography, mezzotint painting, and many others. His portraits have remained contemporary due to the various use of

A well known artist of the 20th century is Georges Braque, born on May 13, 1882, in Argenteuil, France. Braque took after his father and grandfather in house panting. Braque studied painting from 1897-1899 a the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He took his love for artistic painting to the next level where he then moved to Paris. From 1902-1904 he continued to paint at the Academie Humbert. In 1910 a close artist and friend Pablo Picasso introduced Braque to model Marcelle Lapre which then later married in 1912. Braque also served in the French Army during World War I and sustained wounds to the head in 1915. With his failing health that prevented Braque from creating any large-scale commissioned projects he still continues with his art work in 1917.

Born in 1869, Henri Matisse painted in a range of styles both traditional and revolutionary. His use of bold color and sculptural shapes helped define the plastic arts movement, which was a term used in the early 20th century to encapsulate the way art gives shape to objects. Later in life, he became known as a preserver of classical French painting. His works changed drastically through the years, and he is known for his dramatic use of color and for his ability to depict real life imagery through art. He continued working as an artist until his death in 1954.

Visual art has been highly appreciated and has become popular since the second half of the nineteenth century, during which the public gradually get familiar with the visual art and its applications. In the late nineteenth century, when artists began to utilize distinctive materials and various techniques on their work, there are a lot of innovative works done by masters whose names have been marked ever since. Their stories passed down through generations. Henri Michaux is one of the most well-known artists in that period of time. Michael always made metaphor for objects mentioned in his painting. His paintings always remained figurative, in-spite of all tendencies towards abstraction. His inspiration was from the real world but even

Marcel Duchamp was born on July 28, 1887. His birthplace is Normandy, France, which is also where he was raised. Duchamp was one seven children. It is said that he “comes from a family of artists”. But ironically enough, his favorite childhood pastimes consisted of chess, reading, painting and playing music. Marcel created one of his earliest artworks at the age of fifteen and named it Landscape at Blainville (1902). He was very close with two of his older brothers that left home to become artists in 1904. Marcel went along with them to Paris and studied painting at Academie Julian. With the support of his brother, Julian Villion, he worked as a cartoonist while attending school. Duchamp became familiarized with the modern trends in painting, in Paris, during the 1900s. He also studied Fauvism, Cubism and Impressionism. Marcel related to the Cubist notation more than any of the others because it was “reordering reality,” not just “simply representing” it (“Marcel Duchamp,” sec 5). His early painting, Nude Descending A Staircase, showed his interest in machinery and its connection to the body’s movement through space, which later transcends into early Modernism. Duchamp was attracted to avant-garde notations of an artist as an anti-academic. He felt a natural liking in this respect with one of his early heroes, the Symbolist painter and graphic artist,

He is famous for his sad and depressing paintings, who often had a white background. Also his people in his paintings are famous “matchstick men” because of their skinny bodies. Some of his most famous paintings were sold for up to 5 million pounds. He became an official war artist. Also he was the Official Artist of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. He was a very famous, popular and successful artist.
