He was noted as a troubled, erratic painter by David Sweetman, in his book Van Gogh: His Life and His Times.

In the paper I would like to focus on a painting that is almost 120 years old, however it appears provocative even today - in the world of contemporary art, where there seems to be no room left for astonishment. What I find so special about this beautiful painting is the technique and the artist’s vision of the scenery. Even though the second half of the 19th century was the time of rebelliousness in the art world, Henri Matisse managed to find his own niche and create his own style of painting.

In 1874, an exhibition by members of the Private Company of Artists that consisted of Claude Monet (1840 -1926), Camille Pissarro (1830-1903), Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), Berthe Morisot (1841-1895), Edgar Degas (1834 -1917), and Alfred Sisley (1839 -1899) perplexed society with the dematerialization of reality in their paintings and signaled the birth of Impressionism as a new movement. However, a decade later, the concept of capturing the immediate illusion had exhausted itself. The crisis

portraits consented for exhibition at the annual Salons of the 1860s. Yet countless of the rejection of his extra motivated works, particularly the large-scale Women in the Garden (1866; Musée d’Orsay, Paris), inspired Monet to link alongside Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, Renoir, and others in instituting an autonomous exhibition in 1874. Impression: Sunrise (1873; Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris), one of Monet’s contributions to this exhibition, sketched particular contempt for the unfinished

my experience at The Museum of Fine Arts was simply extraordinary, and unforgettable I was subject to so many different art pieces that were so different; which made it so unique. “Art is not about what you see, but what you make others see” (Edgar Degas). The art piece “Walking the Chalk,” is one that really denotes the period, in which the artists constructed this painting. It implements so many different messages within itself, and there is so much happening in the painting that while interpreting

Art Through Time Art is one of the most magnificent things of this world. People have been inspired by art and have been creating it for ages. Art is a truly magical creation that will continue until the end of time. Throughout history, many different movements of art have been introduced. For example, there was Cubism, American Regionalism, Fauvism, Surrealism, Expressionism, and so on. Each movement was unique and contained fantastic artist who poured their heart and soul into their work. All

First Impressions “... from the classically executed lifelike bouquets, tempting you to reach for the petals that fell on a three-dimensional tablecloth, to a new and disturbing style in which the colors seemed to blaze with such intensity they destroyed the old lines, the old solidity, to make a vision like those states which I'm nearest my delirium and flowers grow before my eyes and crackle like the flames of lamps.” (Rice) (Background of Impressionism) The first impressionist artists of the 19th

Claude Monet was a famous French painter whose work was the name of the art movement, Impressionism. Impressionism is concerned with capturing light and natural forms. Monet was born on November 14, 1840 and was born in Paris, France. At age 5, Monet moved to Le Havre, a port town in the Normandy region. He grew up there with his older brother, Leon. Monet was was decent student, but he did not like being in a confined classroom. He was more interested in being outside. At a young age, he developed

The gallery that I chose to visit is called, Berry Wing of European Art, also called Kresge Foundation Gallery of the 16th and 17th Century European Art. I thought that these names for the gallery were very odd because many of the paintings in this gallery were either not from the 16th and 17th century, or weren’t from European art. A common theme that the whole gallery had was the color red. Because of this, the gallery has also been given the name Red: Endless Attraction, which I think fits the
