    Stand there, right in front of the painting; what do you see? Look closely, very closely and see the paint on the canvas flow through each brush stroke, see the colors expand and blur, and see how the lights play off the soft, vibrant colors. Watch the swirls expand out into an infinite space in time . The paint flies beyond the canvas and the shadows and reflections blur into one. The pinks, blues, reds, yellows, oranges, purples, and browns blend together to create a symphony of colors.…

    Artists Gustave Caillebotte and Clide Hassam are rewound painters who spent their careers depicting scenes of everyday life in various levels of impressionism. Combined, the two provide for an excellent comparison of how specific techniques used for their works elicit different emotions and interpretations. Specifically, Caillebotte’s Paris Street: Rainy Day and Hassam’s A Rainy Day of Fifth Avenue capture similar scenarios in roughly an analogous time frame, allowing viewers to focus strictly on the differing techniques used. . From their perspective to color, they are able to evoke feelings of clarity and uncertainty respectfully An important note to mention prior to analyzing the works is to mention that neither artist captured the scene better; neither painting can be objectively considered superior.…

    Courbet’s political intention to make everything equally is to the extents of equalizing from the workers’ hands and face, and stones of the background in this painting. Thus, the painting seems to be lacking composition that selects and organizes and aerial perspective to create the sense of this is real to the audience. Courbet depicts the two workers ― on right, a very old man and on the left, a very young boy ― as anonymous and faceless to juxtaposing these two men to show whose fate is to born into poverty is destined to be poor. The color palettes of grays, whites, and browns effectually expresses the monotonous and mechanical nature to demonstrate straightforwardly the merciless soil and the harsh working circumstances of the job as…

    Rene Magritte’s The Therapeutist is an amazing piece of art. Rene used surrealism and some cubism to show that opening-up to others, and supporting them, can help set them free from their problems. This piece of artwork was completed in 1937. The painting protrays an image of a rusty metal bird cage, that is housing shelter for one white dove, and is holding up another on square wood plank on the outside of the cage door, which is sitting on a man’s lap. To add in, this man is holding a cane in his right hand and a dark leather sack in the other.…

    By the end of the 1800s art was considered a subject of study just like science and math. For an artist to be taken seriously and considered a proffesional attending an art college was a neccesity. There they learn about line techniques, shading, colouring etc. Some artists believed that art was meant to be “studied” in schools. Art was meant to be felt like an emotion and the lines show flow from the conciousness to the paper.…

Furthermore, the diagonal lines that shape the floor and the barriers of the bridge and the curved lines on the water make a combination of energy and endlessness at the same time because the side of where the scared looking person is, looks completely different from where the water, which is what perhaps reflects the degree of anxiety that the scared looking person was suffering in that particular…
