Office Art Memo

1. My purpose today was let everybody know what is impressionism and how it comes. And I think, when talking about a painting that looks “unpolished”, or one with lots of bright colors and short brush strokes. you might as well go ahead and say it. “this is Impressionist, isn’t it.”

Post-impressionism was more methodical than impressionism. Many post-impressionist works were done in a studio instead of out in the environment. Because of this, it is clear that these pieces were more time-consuming and were individual visions of the

In this paper, I choose to discuss three pieces of art from the 19th century Impressionist period and three from the Post-Impressionist period and how these six pieces of art compare to each style. Then I will draft a memo to the CEO of my company to describe the appearance, so that they will have an idea of what the art looks like and where it should be placed throughout the corporate offices. Next, we are going to explain the historical significance for each piece of artwork that I choose. Finally, I will descried to the CEO of my company how each piece of art matches the company’s overall image.

The paintings will be compared if styles, intents, and reflections of society. The two paintings are a reflection of the

The purpose of this memo is to introduce my background, achievements and career goals to the professor, Christina Hunter.

The period of Impressionism and Post Impressionism embarks from ca. 1860 to 1910 CE. For the Impressionists artists the main focus were the upper middle class, the city and restful activities. They emphasized in the outdoors, parks, sky, star, sun etc. in hope to obtain directly the effects of light and the atmosphere, this method was known as en plein air. This technique was influenced by the Japanese art and photography. They used strokes and touches of pure colors mostly white, almost never black. They were able to record or attain the shifting play of light on the surface of the object they were working on. This method allowed the artist to record the effect light had on the eyes of the spectator without concern for the physical aspect

The style of paintings from the impressionist movement, can be broken down into three main traits. The being

After the end of the French revolution, came an era of artistic prosperity. The French had taken it upon themselves to rebuild the country's political and social structure. This was also the awakening of impressionism, which seeks to recreate a scene or impression of a scene. It was started by a group of French painters is considered the first “art movement.” Pierre-Auguste Renoir, was one of the artist who took part in this revolution towards a more progressive era. His portfolio of paintings uses this style of painting as to bring about social change. Renoir’s “Luncheon on the Boat Party” is an impressionist oil painting that portrays French society in a simple, yet elegant manner. His use of a selective color palette and an angled viewpoint that emphasizes the differences in France’s 19th century

After doing research on this portrait, I find that the setting of Luncheon of the Boating Party is at the upstairs terrace of the Masion Fournaise restaurant on an island in the Seine at Chatou. The painting conveys a casual and contemporary gathering of people sharing food, wine, and conversation on a balcony overlooking the Seine. The people in Renoir’s paintings are actually personal friends of his. The woman in the lower left is Aline Charigot, Renoir’s future wife. Charigot was clearly painted with the most detail and coloring, and holds the most presence in the painting which could be a hint as to Renoir’s fancy of her. Standing behind her, leaning on the railing, is Alphonse Fournaise, the son of the restaurant’s owner. In the

By that specialize in the ‘here and now’ of his time, these momentaneous moments come to be relished homesick memories. Renoir’s portrayal of glow shade, skilfully numerous brushstrokes, nuances of sunshine and shadow all labored along to create a heat sensualism. Planted inside the heart of Paris, we tend to face at the location of the Seine, trying upstream towards the wrought-iron Pont des Arts. A ferry pulls up to the quayside, jam-filled with commuters and idlers from all walks of lifestyles: idle women in brilliant crinolines and neatly turned-out dandies, competitive road urchins and soldiers in crimson trousers, romping dogs and a blue-smocked workman, seated at the riverside. Up the ramp at right, secondhand booksellers exchange the shadow of the vaulted Institut Delaware France, whereas at the horizon at left appear the brand-new theaters of the Place du Châtelet. The crisp shadows and munificently implemented black air usual of Renoir’s early career, once the writer and his friend Monet launched to record their dynamical city in an exceedingly celebrated series of views to that this one belongs. Pierre-Auguste Renoir’ and Pierre-Étienne-Théodore Rousseau’s paintings proportion the equal biblical challenge, historic duration, and geometrical form, yet range in a number of widespread

To describe, and analyze any period of our marvelous World Art History, it is crucial to find a piece of art to motivate our lines. The Impressionism is not the exception, that is why Luncheon of the Boating Party, and Pierre-Aguste Renoir, are the principal characters of the paragraphs that you are going to read.

Pursuant to our conversation regarding the company's art budget for the new corporate HQ, I have identified six works of art which I think would be a perfect fit for this organization. The following memorandum describes these work, which could all be purchased in reproduction to save on cost. First I need to make something clear. These selections include three works which would be characterized as Impressionist, and three which would be characterized as Post-Impressionist. There is an easy way to explain this type of art for people who do not know much about art. I want you to think about the way in which art is like photography, the way in which it can accurately represent something that we can see before us. A good example of "representational" art, art which is like photography, is the portrait of Gordon Foonster (your grandfather and the illustrious founder of Widget Tech International) that is currently hanging in the boardroom. Obviously the painter who did that portrait wanted to make it as much like a photograph as possible. But you need to remember that photography has only been around for a little more than 150 years. We have battlefield photographs of the US Civil War, and photographic portraits of Abraham Lincoln but we don't have similar photos for the Revolutionary War or George Washington. The invention of photography, to a certain extent, changed
