They became close friends. He studied with a fellow classmate monet and both became artists. He used only nine colors of paint. Lead white, madder red, , French ultramarine, black ivory, cadmium yellow, viridian, and emerald green. I chose bridge over a pool of water lilies because it gives me a calming peaceful feeling. When I look at it it just fills me with hope and makes me want to meditate. The painting bridge over a pool of water lilies was based off of his garden where he built a bridge and a pool of water lilies in Giverny. He did not care much for the different kinds of trees and lilies. What he liked was the reflections and so that was what he spent the most time on. He said it was peaceful and inducing meditation. His painting has been compared to Japanese bridge prints. It is probably not a coincidence that he was an avid collector of Japanese prints. He said he had “no other wish than to mingle closely with nature”. Finally we look at his adult
Claude Monet played an essential role in a development of Impressionism. He created many paintings by capturing powerful art from the world around him. He was born on November 14, 1840, in Paris, France. Later, his family moved to Le Havre, Normandy, France because of his father’s business. Claude Monet did drawings of the nature of Normandy and time spent along the beaches and noticing the nature. As a child, his father had always wanted him to go into the family grocery business, but he was interested in becoming an artist. He was known by people for his charcoal caricatures, this way he made money by selling them by the age of 15. Moreover, Claude went to take drawing lessons with a local artist, but his career in painting had not begun yet. He met artist Eugène Boudin, who became his teacher and taught him to use oil paints.

During Vincent Van Gogh’s childhood years, and even before he was born, impressionism was the most common form of art. Impressionism was a very limiting type of art, with certain colors and scenes one must paint with. A few artists had grown tired of impressionism, however, and wanted to create their own genre of art. These artists, including Paul Gaugin, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Paul Cezanne, hoped to better express themselves by painting ...

Claude Monet is known for his brilliance in his paintings of natural scenes. He was one of the leading artists in the Impressionist art movement. His techniques focused on color and lighting, which was vital to the Impressionist Movement. Through his choice of color and his vibrant brushstrokes, he was able to depict scenes in ways that were new to everyone. In The Tuileries, Claude Monet created a sense of elegance and peace that leaves people wishing they could walk into the painting and through the courtyard through his brilliant color, value, balance, and harmony.
Although from the same artist group, these Impressionists originated from backgrounds that seemed worlds apart. Claude Monet, known as the “Master Impressionist” varied the themes in his artwork more than any other artist did. Monet’s work “Impression Sunrise”, of which the term “Impressionist” originates also gives rise to the title “Master Impressionist”. Edgar Degas started his career as an artist with nothing in common with Monet but the era in which they lived. From themes to brushstrokes and choices of colours, Monet and Degas started their relationship as Impressionist artists on opposite ends of the earth. However, towards the climax of their lives as artists, Monet aided Degas in adopting Impressionist Aesthetic qualities.
Impressionism is very pretty and complicated. It was from 1860 to 1910. Monet is the perfect Impressionist. Impressionism had its basic tenants. Their subject matter was the middle upper class, the city, and leisurely activities. They painted on en plein air which means they painted outdoors. They painted in snow, rain, storm, just in order to record directly the effects of light and atmosphere. They painted with strokes and touches of pure color by using a great deal of white and rarely black. They recorded the shifting play of light on the surface of objects and the effect light has on the eye without concern for the physicality of the object being painted. They were influenced by Japanese art and photography. One of Monet’s works is titled Water Lilies. The medium of this work is oil on canvas. Monet is an impressionist. He puts up pure color just describe the water. He said, when you go out paint, the impression of the scene not the exact scene.
After we both looked at the painting for a few moments, she commented on its beauty and praised Claude Monet as a "great artist." I liked the painting myself. The different shades of yellow, orange, red, and violet were very appealing, but I questioned why Monet was "great." He obviously had difficulty painting exact detail. The objects in the work were so simplistic and blurred that I had difficulty determining what they were. In fact, the painting reminded me of the seemingly pain, unsophisticated art found in some children's storybooks.
Claude Monet was born on November 14, 1840, in Paris, France and moved to LeHavre with his family at age five (Skira 21). As a schoolboy, Monet doodled in the margins of his books. His artistic career began by drawing caricatures of his schoolmasters distorting their faces and profiles outrageously. By the time he was fifteen, people would pay ten or twenty francs for one of his drawings (Skira 22).
Claude Monet is often considered one of greatest most dedicated of the Impressionist painters. His aim was to catch the light and atmosphere, something that was scarcely done before. He enjoyed painting outdoors and developed a free and spontaneous painting technique. His brushwork is remarkably flexible and varied. He often changed his technique, sometimes broad and sweeping other times dappled and sparkling.
Rene Magritte was one of the most well-known surrealist painters of all time. It was not until he reached his 50s that he finally grasped fame and recognition for his artwork. Magritte was considered the most influential artist of surrealist art and pop art movement, the work he manifested, and his distinct styles. Much of Magritte's work incorporated normal objects, he would arrange the figures, and locations, which forced the viewer to look deeper into the art and at what was represented.
The Impressionist movement began in 1874 in Paris created by, among others, Claude Monet. The movement took place during the industrialization that started around 1850 in France. The impressionist painters liked to paint everyday life scenes like Parisian leisure time and modern life activities. They painted scenes of people, mostly the bourgeois, in cafes, theaters and concerts (Janson 706). In other words, the artists found their inspiration in daily outdoor scenes. The Impressionist movement attempted to change the painting convention created by the art academy and including modern life was one of the characteristics ...
Achille-Claude Debussy was born on August 22, 1862, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, the oldest of five children. He grew up in a poor family but his love for the piano, sparked the beginning of his career and future success.

With her and her children, Debussy traveled Europe and began accumulating musical
Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest and most influential artists and creator of Cubism. I recommend that you go and see some of his art in person. He was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and stage designer. He was born on the twenty-fifth of October, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one, in Malaga, Spain. Your mother will know that she grew up to be something big. Picasso's father taught him how to draw and paint when he was a child, and when he was thirteen, his level was better than his father. He died on April 8, nineteen hundred and seventy-three, to ninety-one, in Mougins, France. I have been studying Picasso's art for years. It had many different periods of art, including the blue, the rose and the classic periods.
“Monet's personal Impressionist ability is said to have reached its peak with his Giverny-inspired series of paintings of Water Lilies and these paintings are what most people think of when considering Monet's illustrious career” (Artble, Claude Monet Style and Technique, https://www.artble.com/artists/claude_monet/more_information/style_and_technique ).
Since the dawn of time humans have always found a way of artistic expression. Whether it be cave paintings on the stone walls of their ancient dwellings; or some neanderthal drawing a stick figure on a leaf with their own feces. Artistic expression has always found a way to the surface throughout the history of men. It is because of this that certain figures exist, such as Picasso or Van Gogh. All of these people have had their own distinct styles and quirks when it comes to art. In fact there are many classes of artists.
