Antibes In The Morning
Claude Monet’s “Antibes in the Morning” portrait is considered an interesting modern work of art in my opinion because of the colors that prevail across the screen, the revelation of its connections to modern artistry, and the message it conveys. Monet’s paintings were mainly known because of his passion of portraying nature itself, he was very good at observing variation of color and light. This portrait includes beautiful, bright colors in the clear sky, clean ocean, big trees full of life, and the town across the ocean, which bring a sense of peace to the audience. The pale yellows, soft greens, and deep blue colors that Monet used in this portrait is what mainly provoked my interpretation of the image. For example, for the sky he used

    Monet specialized in the new term called en plein air. This would mean working outdoors instead of the studio to paint. He did an extensive study of the phenomena of light and color which is especially in several series of paintings he made of the same subject. The painting I chose is the Rouen Cathedral.…

    The color palette of the painting is diverse, while red and warm earth tones dominate the painting. The light source seems to be in front of the left section of the picture while dispersing towards the right. The use of light gives the illusions of volume. The gradation of the sky is very exaggerated. The top is a dark blue and as it reaches the middle the sky is very light. The painting has a smooth finish and is very detailed. The flowers on the bottom are very intricate as well as the patterns of the people’s garments. Each face has a distinguished and unique appearance; no two faces are…

    The Ecuadorian Andes, occupying most of the painting, draw the entire viewer’s attention into the misty valley below, while the rainy forest, showing a scene based on a trip to Jamaica in 1865, fits in the right corner of the painting. But the visual weight of small area of dark green jungles and two travelers offsets large amounts of neutral blue, pink, and gray colors of the sky and rocks. Such a combination of small concentrated dark spots and vast light spaces makes a composition very balanced.…

    “Sunrise” is of an everyday scene in nature with vibrant colors that appear to be mixed directly on the canvas, which are all characteristics of the Impressionism period. A critic of this type of work during the period was noted as saying this painting reminded him of wallpaper. (Impressionism, 2000)…

    The misfortunes that take place in natural spaces draw a paradox in the esthetic aspect of nature by contrasting the events with the familiar associations of light and dark. The scene of Vidal’s men fighting the Maquis starts as one of the brightest, most illuminated scenes of the film. The sun contributes to add a glow that makes the environment seem so vibrant and so alive; flowers, bright yellow lighting and green trees add to this effect. Through the contrast that is drawn as a result…

    AS A POST-IMPRESSIONIST PAINTER, AND ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS ASTIST OF ALL TIME VINCENT VAN GOGH has became an icon. Between November 1881 and July 1890 he painted almost 900 paintings. The Night Café in the place Lamartine in Arles 1888 (fig 2-47). This piece was him telling the world that this place is where one “can ruin oneself”. He tried to express it as it being a place where the atmosphere was of loneliness. The striking, bold, intense colors, the empathic brushwork, and contoured forms of his work are highly expressive, even emotional. He used the symbolic and expressive values of colors to express/ The colors he used made it clash, red on the walls and green on the ceiling. Yet, the floor and the billard table contain the same two colors red, and green. Using those colors marries the two which makes it complete. The painting shows brilliance and agitation. He felt envy and anger while painting this piece according to the color as symbol theory. I myself liked how the optical lighting that was used to make the painting stand out like the light is real compared to the local light.…

    As I strolled the room, I took care to notice every piece of art that was displayed. The van Gogh caught my eye immediately, but, unfortunately, there were restrictions on my ability to write about it. There had to be about forty works in the room. No sooner than I had started to look around again, however, that a second painting caught my eye. I had never seen it before, but something about it looked very familiar. Possibly the brilliant orange glistening over the mind-numbing grays and blues. Or maybe it was the quick brushstrokes that seemed to want to move quickly enough to literally capture the light being emitted from the incandescent sun. Whatever the case, as I stepped closer to the work, I realized what should have been obvious the second I placed my gaze upon it. It was a Monet.…

    I went to “Monet and the Seine” exhibition in Houston Fine Arts Museum in 2015, after that, he becomes one of my favorite artists in Europe. Also, he is one of the most important artists in France and a founder of the impressionism (Stuckey, 1995). The mid 19th century is a tough time for people because in that period, people lived in the darkness of the war. However, most of the Monet’s artwork reflected the positive images. He wants to inspire and help people by using his paintings, and bring them out from the…

    Yeh Ling-Ling continued on explaining that “Mass immigration impacts minorities and the working class the most, the very people liberals want to protect.” I understand the author’s point of view, however immigrants came here for a better life, therefore they should not have a negative impact on many minorities because these people can get educated and become established citizens and will most likely be available to many resources than legal immigrants can. Immigration doesn’t just happen and leave a negative impact, there are multiple positive impacts that could even benefit the minorities as well such as; when a documented immigrant works, their wages are spent on necessities which benefits the country and the state which they reside,…

    Throughout the years, Claude Monet’s Impression, Sunrise has been celebrated as the quintessential symbol of the Impressionist Movement. This renowned work of art which illustrates a view of the port of Le Havre in north-western France is considered to be one of Monet’s “most poetic expressions” of his engagement with France’s revitalization efforts after the Franco-Prussian War.[1] Unlike other artworks of the time, the subject matter and specific painting techniques evident in Impression, Sunrise seek to transcribe the feelings initiated by a scene rather than simply rendering the details of a particular landscape. This act of expressing an individual’s perception of nature was a key characteristic and goal of Impressionist art, and is a common motif found in Monet’s paintings. While Impression, Sunrise and Monet’s artistic technique fell under harsh criticism at their outset, Monet’s masterpiece gave birth to a new movement and created a revolution in the world of art.…

    From 1901 to 1904, a series of paintings came into life, all of them rendered in blue and dark green occasionally warmed by other colors. The characters and subject matter of paintings were starkly stern, doleful, gaunt, austere, and mournful and so on. Most of the characters were recluses, prisoners, poverty stricken, prostitutes, beggars, drunk or the characters of melancholies or hopelessness. Their faces, positions, motions as presented were always unsmiling as if they were being haunted,…

    "Early next morning I was lying in bed, when an old gentleman riding a bay horse arrived at the river. He was dressed in a faded chocolate gown flecked with roses and the end of his turban was wrapped round his face over an iron-grey beard. Across the saddle he carried a brown lamb. Behind him, on foot, came his son aged twelve, flapping along in a gown of geranium red and a white turban as big as himself, and holding a stick with which he directed the progress of a black ewe and her black lamb.…
