Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec's Art

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 also suffered from facial blindness and a neuromuscular condition. In college he decided to study art. 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

Claude Monet was the chief pioneer of the Impressionism period. Monet was born in Paris (1840-1926) and moved near Le Havre at a young age. At only the age of 15, Monet created his first successful drawings of caricatures. Monet continued to study drawing until he met Eugene Boudin, who is responsible for intruding Monet to a new style of painting; stepping outside the studio and painting in the open air. This style would give way to more than 60 years of art that used "effective methods to

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.
