And created 363 prints and posters, 737 canvased paintings, 275 watercolors, and 5,084 drawings. Throughout his time, he was a painter, printmaker, draughtsman, and illustrator. Due to being born from an aristocratic family, it is suggested from inbreeding his physical appearance and small size was created which made him often ridiculed; he suffered because of this and had alcoholism. He immersed himself in arts because he could not do many things men his age could do because of stature. Later on, Lautrec was known to sit in bars and clubs often creating works of art. He found a certain acceptance in the nightclub scene and many of his artwork depicts this.
During his time, he dwelt with the Art Nouveau movement, with a style that emphasized on pure, unmodulated

He creates a certain aspect of simplicity by not using too much detail of the line but just enough of it to make it interesting and capturing the viewers attention. Some of the very tiny work can be seen specifically in the male as line lines show the outline of the lips by creating the reddish pink line going up and down. By adding slight details to character Lautrec shows a dedication to how the face and person should be just by adding slight detail to face, but also by color and positioning of the person. Even though it is a 2-D piece he brings a 3-dimensional aspect as well though it more a cut out of people he positions them slight farther apart from others to give them distance from one another. There is only a slight value though to add to the dimension of man's leg peeking out of green jacket and curtains on the
Dimension is somehow integrated into every art piece that one has either seen or created. It is the backbone of detail, and what gives art that “ Wow” factor. Some artists famous or not, use dimension to add characteristics and meaning to what they are trying to express. There is an unquestionable connection between the definitions of dimension and the idea of inside/out. Defining the inside/out isn’t as easy as it sounds. There are a whole lot of meanings for the topic. For everyone inside/out is a different story, religion and life style. Two artists that have integrated the phenomenon of inside/out are, Marisol Escobar and Auguste Rodin. These two artist are extremely different in their way of living their lives, not only physically but also spiritually, as well obviously their own personal style of art.
The art work has great use of line an obvious example is the stars as they connect to one another. Also the man he is made up of lots of different lines. I don’t see any form in this painting. There are lots of shapes the mans body is made up of several different shapes. The work of art appears somewhat serious as a result of the dim hues and rakish appearance of the man. The colors used in this painting are different value of blue and brown and also black, white. The art work shows mass by the mans legs in comparison to the rest of the
He was one of the first artists to experiment with blueprint paper in the early fifties, and then he began to incorporate the everyday found objects and daily media images from the press, he wanted to act in the gap between art and life and
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.
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.
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
His early paintings had an unconventional, unique, and unfinished look about them. The images were known to everyone in everyday life.

Matisse was born Henri-Emile-Benoit Matisse in Le Cateau-Cambresis, France on December 31, 1869 to his mother and father Anna Heloise Gerard and Emile Hippolyte Matisse. He was the first son of the couple. Matisse's father was a grain merchant and his mother made hats and painted China. He grew up in nearby Bohain-en-Vermandois until the age of ten, when his father sent him to St. Quentin for high school. In ways that area hadn't changed much since Roman times. The young Matisse was an awkward youth who seemed ill-adapted to the rigors of the North; he hated the gelid winters. He was a pensive child and by his own account he was dreamy, frail and
It was the cusp of 1870, and an artist was born. On December 31st little Henri Matisse of Le Cateau-Cambrésis, France came into this world. Within his first five years of living, Matisse’s brother was born, and died. In the beginning, Matisse did not have fervor for drawing or painting. Instead, he was eager to work in law. As most people who choose to be lawyers do, he attended law school in Paris. Subsequently returning home to clerk for a law office, Henri Matisse was diagnosed with appendicitis. It took a whole year to recover from this sickness. In the meantime, Matisse needed something to do, thus began his art career.
This work embodies the period style because it contains avant-garde geometric shapes to define the forms, colors, and interpretations that were important to the Post-Impressionists. First off, the harshness of the lines goes hand in hand with the shapes that exist in the work. The shapes tend to be simplified which demonstrates that Cezanne wanted things to appear as if they could be broken down. He utilized an
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
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 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.
In order to demonstrate these specific characteristics, Leger incorporates many different types of elements into this piece. In this painting, color plays an important role. The shapes of the blue squares contrast altogether with the other shapes and also, with the mutated beige background. Leger uses numerous colors such as the neon yellow, red, blue, black, and green in order to reveal that the colors are free and therefore, these colors exist in space. As mentioned earlier, this painting included a variety of different shapes; there are two different types of shape that can be seen in this painting. The first type is geometric or regular shapes such as the squares, circles, and rectangles. The second, on the other hand, are organic and freeform shapes such as the feet, hands, and face. Next, Leger incorporates many lines throughout this portrait. From curved lines to a single horizontal line, Leger includes each different type to develop a sense of movement, or rhythm. The curved lines makes the viewer’s eyes circle around the piece to further realize the symbolism. For space, Leger leaves many of the corner as negative space. However, the corners of this painting are not the only ones Leger leaves as space. Because the shapes and colors are kept simple, there’s also quite a series of distance between the shapes even throughout the whole entire painting. Again, because of the simplicity of the shapes, even the texture of this painting can be seen as smooth. The painting does not involve any harsh or rugged lines, and is
