When my wife and I first arrived at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Jacksonville (MOCA) I honestly had no idea what to expect. I had been to the Cummer Museum, but never here and I wasn't sure what to expect or what piece of art I was going to write my paper on. I thought I might want to do my paper on a sculpture because I tend to like that kind of art, but I wasn't sure. I figured we would walk around and whatever spoke to me the loudest would be what I wrote my paper on. I hadn't expected to

For this week’s blog chose to compare the styles of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Both of these styles started to rise up in the 19th century from France. There are many differences between these two styles. Impressionists were very in favor of independent exhibitions, while the Post-Impressionists placed on emphasis on structure. The Impressionists often drew upon landscapes and the scenes of modern life for inspiration, paying attention to light, atmosphere, and movement for their color

Claude Monet was a very significant artist in the movement of impression. With his techniques, subject matter, use of colour and composition within his artworks, he contributed hugely to the movement and was a huge inspiration to many. In order to understand why Claude Monet created this artwork and the appearance of it, we need to understand the main influences which came with the movement of Impressionism. Many of these influences were derived from the Industrial Revolution in the 19th Century

Andre Masson was born January 4th, 1898 in Balagny-sur-Therain, France. At the age of eight he moved to Brussels where he started studying art. In 1912, Masson moved back to France, but this time to Paris where he continued his studies until the outbreak of World War one.

After the war Masson moved to southern France until 1922, where he moved back to Paris to continue working

Rembrandt is a famous seventeenth-century Dutch painter. Despite his fame and prestige, some experts are not certain whether a few of “his” paintings were actually created by him. One of these paintings, a portrait of a woman’s face, has been called Rembrandt’s due to its style. But, there is evidence that suggests the portrait was painted by a different artist. First, there is inconsistency in the painting. Whenever Rembrandt was painting, he would pay careful attention to details in clothing.

Claude Monet was a guy that was born on November 14, 1840. He was in a famous place that many of us know as Paris, France (Beard, 2015).

Esmeralda recalled the night she had spent with Quasimodo fondly. His expression when he crashed into her dressing tent the day before was one she would never forget. Quasi was so sweet and embarrassed. Shamefully she remembered the horrified expression on her own face when she tried to remove the mask, that was his face. The whole day was a emotional disaster. Watching the guards and crowd taunt him had been too much for her. The chase that ensued, after rescuing poor Quasimodo, was exhilarating

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
