Abstract
In this paper, I choose to discuss three pieces of art from the 19th century Impressionist period and three from the Post-Impressionist period and how these six pieces of art compare to each style. Then I will draft a memo to the CEO of my company to describe the appearance, so that they will have an idea of what the art looks like and where it should be placed throughout the corporate offices. Next, we are going to explain the historical significance for each piece of artwork that I choose. Finally, I will descried to the CEO of my company how each piece of art matches the company’s overall image.
Office Art Memo
Identify three examples of 19th century Impressionist painting or sculpture and three Post-Impressionist works. Explain how the six pieces of art fall into these two styles.
The three paintings that I choose from the 19th century Impressionist are the self-portraits of Pierre Auguste Renoir; Claude Monet reading a newspaper, and the last being a painting by Camille Pissarro named Boulevard Montmartre. The Post-Impressionist paintings that I choose are: A Lion Devouring its Prey by Henri Rousseau, In the Oise Valley by Paul Cezanne, and The Yellow Books by Vincent Van Gogh.
The characteristics of first three pieces of art that make these ones to fall into the 19th century Impressionist are that they included somewhat small, thin, but visible brush strokes, also they put emphasis on the depiction of light in its changing qualities, so as to accentuate the effects of the passage of time. The colors, when applied, were side by side and with as little mixing as possible, which created a vibrant surface. As for the Post-Impressionist paintings that were selected, the way they fall into these two styles is that each of them reflected innovation in their eyes that defined modernity. As compared to impressionist, who created
