The Sea at Le Havre, painted by Claude Monet in 1868, is a 23 5/8” x 24 3/8” oil on canvas landscape painting. Monet was a French artist who lived from 1840 to 1926 and was considered to be an impressionist. A unique quality of Monet was unblended “sloppy” brushstrokes combined with a use of precise choice of color, as seen clearly in The Sea at Le Havre. Because of his vigorous and richly textured painting style, Monet was able to capture the look and feel of the movement of water, which was demonstrated

Paul Cézanne had a great influence on other artists in his period and even those who came after his death. One of his work that had the most impact was The Large Bathers. Picasso and Matisse can be considered as artists who were inspired by him. But they also broke free of Cézanne’s work. To see how they did so, let’s examine Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre compared to Cézanne’s The Large Bathers. Matisse’s work is similar to Cézanne’s. Both artists used bright

emergence of several new styles, including cubism and fauvism (Flam, 2012). This can be seen in Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d'Avignon as well as Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life) when compared to Cézanne’s painting, The Large Bathers. (Cézanne, 1906). Cézanne painted The Large Bathers in 1906. This piece broke away from tradition and brought him a lot of criticism from other contemporary artists, critics, and even his usual supporters. They all claimed that it was unfinished, lacked skill, and

These three famous paintings are going to be analyzed below, pointing their similarities and differences. Henri Matisse was mostly known for his work during the Fauvism movement, Pablo Picasso excelled during the Cubism movement and Paul Cezanne showed his talents through the Post-Impressionism movement. Discussion Matisse’s painting shows a broad open field focusing on the bright landscape with a lot of nature and the expression of sensuality and eroticism. The bodies in this painting are seemed

The art piece, “Table, Napkin and Fruit”, that Cézanne created is asymmetrically balanced along a wooden tabletop. The composition includes approximately 16 pears, peaches, and other fruits. Through the source, Cézanne has made the fruits closer to the centre of the art piece more defining and detailed with harder lines, whereas along the left corner, the fruits are made with loose

Cezanne was born in 1839 in Aix-en-Providence and was paining in the Post-Impressionism era, which included thick applications of paint and had a more expressive effect (Harrison, 2010). Both works are created with oil paint, however, Cezanne has chosen to paint his work on canvas, whereas Moillon’s work is displayed on panel. Both works are of similar size, Cezanne’s canvas

Like Cézanne, Matisse constructs the landscape so that it functions as a stage. In both works trees are planted at the sides and in the far distance, and their upper boughs are spread apart like curtains, highlighting the figures lounging beneath. And like Cézanne, Matisse unifies the figures and the landscape. Cézanne does this by stiffening and tilting his trunk-like figures. On the other hand, it is also similar

d’Avignon are two paintings from the early 20th century when post Impressionism emerges. (Harris: Cezanne) These paintings are part of an abstract art style and they were inspired by paintings that laid the foundation for abstraction. One painting they reflect is Cezanne’s The Large Bathers. And while they take inspiration from The Large Bathers, they can also be seen to break away from the style that Cezanne represented. And they emerge as paintings that are the foundation of modernism. The Large Bathers
