The Painting Square At La Trinite

Sol Lewitt uses lines, most of the time, to create a geometrical shape within his artwork. His paintings consist of lots of horizontal

Line of Sight—one important kinds of implied line is a function of line of sigh, the direction the figures in a given composition are looking. Titian artwork together the three separate horizontal area of the piece; God the father above, the Virgin Mary in the middle and the Apostles below. The lines that are create are simple, interlocking, symmetrical triangles. The lines are to serve to unify the worlds of the divine and the mortal.

The lines within the composition draws the viewer into several directions. The ruffles draw the eyes upward to the Daniel’s finger as it points to the right. Daniel’s finger directs the viewer horizontally as it does the king. The table with its array of dishes is another example of a horizontal line. The king’s hands are holding a fork and knife. The fork is also pointing right where as the knife is pointing left diagonally towards the king. The courtesan, leaning against the king’s right shoulder, is another example of a diagonal line. The painting also has a vertical feel to it. This is evident in the composition of Daniel standing, the candle and the arm holding the cigar. Like every line, every color used draw attention to the object.

Manet did not use vertical lines in this painting; instead, he used bending line. The bending line indicates hard working, tired, and weariness. The man’s walking stick appears to be very vertical but is actually at a slight diagonal. His life does not at all look like a proud one but more of a laboring, hard and tired life. The bending line gives away the feeling and emotion of the piece.

On the Bank of the Seine, Bennecourt by the French painter Claude Monet is one of the few great paintings that truly embody Impressionism. On the Bank of the Seine, Bennecourt was painted in 1868 on the Seine River in the Northwestern Portion of France. Created with oil on canvas and standing at thirty-two inches tall by thirty-nine and two-thirds inches wide, this painting depicts Monet’s future wife, Camille Doncieux, gazing across the Seine River at a village not too far off in the distance. The ability this painting has to capture the eye is amazing and unique, and allows you to fully appreciate the Impressionist Art Movement.

The last work of art I came across was Isla by Yoan Capote. This 2016 painting is a multi medium that consists of oil, nails, and fishhooks on linen mounted on a panel. The dimension of the painting was not given on the plague but is fairly large like the first painting.The subject of the painting is of the ocean itself, nothing else. Isla is located in the modern gallery because the artist Yoan Capote did this piece in modern times. The selection of the piece fits into the gallery perfectly because I believe the modern works of art are more simplified and engages the viewer to really see what is going on. Also, the year the painting was produced goes hand and hand with the other artworks surrounding it because all the pieces in the gallery

The Harbor of La Rochelle is a 50.5 x 71.8 cm oil on canvas painted by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot in 1851. In this painting, the artist depicted a picturesque scene of the everyday life in a placid harbor city in a sunny warm day. Corot was the leading painter of the Barbizon school of France in the mid-nineteenth century. He is a pivotal figure in landscape painting. His work simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism.

Perspective lines occur also in the background of the painting in the upper right in the trees getting smaller as they descend into the painting. This painting is an example of linear perspective. All lines converge at a vanishing point.

As indicated by the shape in the foreground, the lines that signify the contour of the rocks and freestanding structure merge. The lines lead the eye vertically as it meets the center. When looking at the painting as a whole, the viewer can see how the artist uses straight

The self-portrait of The Two Fridas legs open at 45 degrees. This texture makes the painting a 3-D piece. Line is an important element used mostly in this artwork it creates a 2-D painting, Kahlo has used two types of lines, psychi and actual, these textures are mainly found in the dresses, chairs and the floor as well as the background.

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

The use of lines in Stone City is one of the key visual elements in this painting. The artist used many contour lines to define the boundaries between the trees and the valley, the river and the land, and even the long roads from the hills as it winds through the countryside. Wood also incorporated a lot of implied lines into his artwork. The trees and bushes that line the hills create a line of sight which draws the eye of the viewer to the house on the river, which is the focal point of this painting. The lines all move in different directions and help the artist highlight different aspects of the painting. Around the city and in the foreground of the painting the artist uses a lot of horizontal lines, which gives the town a calm sensation. As we move away from the city, we find a lot of vertical lines which denote growth. We also find a lot of diagonal lines which imply action in the painting. The diagonal lines are predominantly used by the artist in the creation of the roads and

Claude Monet's Grainstack (Sunset) is the painting I chose from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Monet was an impressionist painter in France, and did most of his work at his home at Giverny. Impressionism got its name from a painting that Monet painted, Impression Sunrise. Impressionist paintings are put into a category based on characteristics such as light that draws attention to objects, rough textures, and visual pleasure that the viewer receives upon looking at the paintings. Impressionist paintings are art for arts sake and focus on leisure and nature. These paintings are generally the most well known and popular paintings because of their attractive appearance.

He dabbled in scientific approach of Paul Signac’s pointillist style before lending in Favism . His subject matter was often interior scenes, land scapes, still life’s and portraitures.

The contrast of toyal blue in the whimsical pattern and crimson red of the table cloths which blends into the walls of the room. Matisse influences for this decorative style can be linked to he’s love of Persian miniatures.

Henri Matisse’s “The Red Studio” was created in 1911. The painting depicts an art studio with works everywhere hanging on the walls, and on the floor. There are potted plants and sculptures on the tables and the room is mostly red. This 5′ 4″ x 4′ 3″ painting was obviously well named. Red is not the only color, there are hints of blue, yellow, orange, black, green, and pink worked into the painting. Everything in the painting is still. There is no action and no movement, just the still shot of the studio filled with art supplies, paintings, sculptures, furniture, and plants.
