Post-Impressionist painters were fond of using color to portray certain emotions in their works. They spent more time on their paintings to try to keep lasting impressions of their subjects‚ rather than being speedy in order to replicate fleeting scenes onto their canvases. A lot of times‚ dark‚ cool colors are made to show darker emotions‚ and light‚ warm colors are added where happy emotions radiate out in a painting. Contrast in colors was also used to help distinguish different feelings between

A Compare/Contrast of Monet’s Grainstack(Sunset) and van Gogh’s The Sower In this essay I will compare and contrast two paintings. The first is Grainstack (Sunset)‚ painted by Claude Monet in 1891. The second is The Sower‚ which was painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1888.

In the mid-1880s‚ Seurat developed a style of painting that came to be known as pointillism. Rather than blending colors together on his palette‚ he dabbed tiny strokes or points of pure color onto the canvas. When he placed colors side by side‚ they would appear to blend when viewed from a distance‚ producing a shimmering effect through

Vincent Van Gogh was a casual‚ yet wonderful artist. He captured many beautiful and realistic scenes in his art such as people‚ man-made objects‚ and natural materials. He also created many self-portraits. His work seemed very detailed to me because of his various pencil and brush strokes with both his drawings and paintings. I was intrigued by his artwork because much of it resembled the life of poor families or individuals. Many artists from that time created artwork that was misleading due to

When it appeared in the eighth (and final) Impressionist exhibit in May of 1886‚ Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Grande Jatte—1884 (FIG. 1) left an indelible impression on the critics‚ artists‚ and public of the time. Here was a painting that was a collage of contradictions—impressionist paintings were all about modernity‚ plein air painting‚ spontaneity‚ and improvisation. The Grande Jatte was a painting of modern life‚ but it was hardly impressionistic. There was nothing spontaneous

The three works that I have studied are all works of portraiture‚ not just portraiture but all the works are self-portraits. These artists use color to emphasize the tone and mood of the art. Van Gogh uses various cool blue tones in “Self portrait with Bandaged Ear” to set the visual path and give rise to rhythm. Frida uses repeated golds and warm browns to harmonize the “Self Portrait Dedicated to Dr. Eloesser”. She also uses vivid colors to emphasize the flowers and “beautiful” things. As far of
