Recommended: Paul Cezanne. The Large Bathers analysis

I believe that Matisse and Picasso can be simultaneously seen as inspired by and breaking free from Paul Cezanne. Below I have attached all three paintings that we are going to talk about. The first one is Paul Cezanne’s the Large Bathers. To me this is a painting of a bunch women bathing out in the open. The colors are more neutral and bland, but still has a claiming effect on you. According to Wikipedia, this is the last of the oil paintings by Cezanne, and they consider this one to be unfinished. After seeing the other paintings of bathers, I would agree with that statement. His other paintings have more life in them. The Bathers by Paul Cezanne
The next painting is Le bonheur de vivre (The Joy of Life) is a painting by Henri

    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 ...

  • Seurat And Monet Analysis

    Social reformer, Henry Ward Beecher, once said “Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.” This quote is perfect because it shows how no two artists can ever be the same, like my two artists for example, Georges-Pierre Seurat (1859-1891) and Claude Monet (1840-1926). Both Seurat and Monet were impressionist European painters however they’re style and technique were very different. One painting Seurat is known for is A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (1884-1886). Monet on the other hand is known for many different works of art, but La Grenouillere (1869) is one of his bests.

  • Van Gogh And Poplars By Monet: A Comparative Analysis

    Just last summer after grade 9, I went to New York City and Philadelphia. They both have amazing art museums: New York has the Museum of Metropolitan Art and Philadelphia has the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Both art museums have beautiful and alluring paintings that I love and it’s evident that these paintings are genuine works of art and that they exemplify what we define as art: something that is beautiful, intricate, bold or simple. I remember seeing the “Irises” painted by Van Gough and the full series of “Poplars” by Monet. Van Gogh emphasizes tones and shadows while Monet depicts his subjects realistically with small, fine, but visible brushstrokes. Their styles are unique and distinguishable and there is a wide range art styles to

  • Monet Vs. Degas: Impressionist Aesthetics

    1022 Words  | 3 Pages

    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.

    His styles and techniques were so particular and well-liked, that he succeeded regardless of the trends going on around him; The Dance (1910) being the perfect example, for it was loved and hated by many. By the 1920's, he was increasingly noticed as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting. He was appreciated for bringing that traditional style painting into the modern age and not allowing it to die out like many other artistic traditions had.11 Even though he had been firmly criticized for how he painted, he was still respected for his eclectic style of line and brushwork. Matisse dreamt of, "an art of balance, of purity and serenity, devoid of troubling subject matter" (MA, 38).12 He did this by painting things with simple detail, and also with a light, airy, feel. He wanted to convey the message of classical art, as well as very modern styles of art. As he was influenced by many, he, later on, influenced other great modern artists. He carefully prepared his works but chose colors spontaneously and freely, this is what he called instinct. Like his art, Matisse's career is tightly consolidated. In the context of his development as an artist, his illustrations of the nude females in The Dance (1910), have quite a different significance than judgmental commentators give

  • Picasso and Cubism

    976 Words  | 2 Pages

    Along with George Braque, Picasso was responsible for the invention of cubism. Cubism is one of the most radical restructuring of the way that a work of art constructs its meaning. Cubism is a term that was derived from a reference made to geometric schemes and cubes. Cubism has been known as the first and the most influential of all movements in twentieth century art . Before Picasso did any cubism paintings, there were works exibititing a raw intensity and violence due to his reading of non western art aligned with European primitivism. This contrasting position provided the dynamic for Picasso’s work. In his paintings such as Mother and Child, Picasso showed the fetishistic and simplifying aspects of primitivism. In his paintings Picasso used bright hues and subdued grays and earth colors. Picasso found out that shapes could have meaning and identities by their arrangement .

    The Two Bathers was influenced by the Mediterranean whiahc can be seen in this small piece of art with its meauserements of 12” x 9.5” crated in Paris in 1921. His work was inspired by antique statuary, from the Cycldic Islands. Pablo Picasso showed his art to his idol Andre Malraux:’ Only the sculptors of the islands found a way to transform “ fertility goddesses” into signs… its goddess, if you will, imean the magic object is no longer Fertilitty. In this painting it shows a sigh of fertility in my opinion while the women standing, is half hiding her nudity behing a white cloth which is a color of pureity, and the male lies on the ground while their vertical and horizaltal postions sturture the compostions.

  • From Impressionism to Futurism: A Global Perspective

    The transition of art movements that were taking place most of the impressionist painters lives would move from impressionism of post-impressionism to futurism. All three movements are coincided with the developments of technology in the cities as well as the infatuation with shapes and color blocking that pervaded the wood-block prints of Japan. Throughout the past four-hundred years, there has been a stark change in how the world perceives and realizes art- from scrolls to canvas, to spray-painting the sides of buildings, there consistently is someone who can see a new way to deliver their expression. This message was true in the way that Paul Cézanne would portray his art. The piece Mont. Sainte-Victoire (1906), is labeled as a cubist piece, however it carries over the techniques and philosophies that were utilized by painters in America, Europe and Ja...
