Monet Vs Caezanne

Improved Essays
Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne differed greatly in style and did not present a clear, concise picture of the world, but they both found new ways of representing nature. The paintings "Rocks in the Forest" and "The Artist's Garden at Giverny" represent the artist's lives by their use of different shades of colors; however, they share rough, unfinished textures and both vertical and curved lines. "Rocks in the Forest" render the shapes with passages of subtly varied colors, such as green, blue, and purple tints with an accent of golden sunlight. One of the similarities between these two paintings are the rough, unfinished textures. The leaves in the trees and the rocks show the rigged texture. Another similarity these paintings share are the

    The painting depicts waves crashing into rocks along the coastline. In particular, there is one wave that is in the process of falling down onto the rocks. There is water mist in the air from this and the ocean is also flowing in-between some of the rocks. Overall, this painting was done with thick brush strokes, however, in the background there is still the use of atmospheric perspective as there is less detail farther away. The rocks in this painting are brown and the sky and ocean are blue with some…

    Firehouse Falls: Artwork Brought to Life The art collection “A Landscape Through a Musician’s Eyes” by Ken Davis, contained one of his paintings called Firehole Falls. The painting sits in a two inch thick gold frame. Although pictures of artwork are neat in a book, they often have more detail and depth in person. This one foot by one and a half foot oil painting on linen casts a picture of a river running through what looks like a mountain side.…

    In the Menil Collection, Rene Magritte’s ‘The Invisible World’ has many similarities in terms of placement, technique and composition, to Carol White from the 1995 movie, ‘[SAFE]’. It can be used to symbolize many aspects of Carol’s White’s life and character, and their transitions through the movie. The way ‘The Invisible World’ is placed in the room it is contained in mirrors many aspects of Carol White’s life and character in ‘[SAFE]’. ‘The Invisible World’ is hung on a wall in a fairly large room that also contains a sculpture and four other similar pieces of art done by Rene Magritte.…

    The kiss artwork is a sculpture made with marble and the Christina’s World artwork is a painting made with tempera. Both artworks has a meaningful story behind that you would never think of. For example, in the painting Christina’s World somebody would think that Christina is just sitting on the grass catching the breeze through her hair and enjoying the day instead of her having an disorder that makes her not able to walk. For the sculpture The Kiss you would think that Auguste just saw two people kissing and thought it would be nice to make something special instead of a tragedy love story like Romeo and Juliet. The KIss sculpture uses only one color because of his use of marble and Andrew’s painting Christina’s World uses only neutral colors…

    When studying art through the ages, a person will begin to notice certain similarities and difference that come to light during different ages. Frequently, it can be seen that one work of art could not have come into being without their predecessor works. The two works of art that I will be discussing are The Fighting Temeraire by J.M.W. Turner [Fig 1] and The Manneporte near Étretat by Claude Monet [Fig 2]. To begin, The Fighting Temeraire is an oil on canvas painting, measuring 90.7 x 121.6 cm, that was completed during the Romantic period by Joseph Mallord William Turner in 1839 (The Fighting Temeraire). This work is currently on display at The National Gallery, London and was originally painted on the Thames River outside of London.…

    Paul Cezanne was a talented artist that both Matisse and Picasso have said; they owe Paul Cezanne much respect and gratitude for getting them to the levels that they achieved. In this short paper we will look at what was important to Paul Cezanne and how he constructed his works of art, and then compare this to works of art by Matisse and Picasso. We will pull out examples of how Cezanne inspired these two artists and also how these two artists were trying to break free from Cezanne and become known for their own style. Paul Cezanne’s painting, The Large Bathers, painted in 1906 as an oil canvas was a unique painting. Cezanne always was committed to form in his works of art and loves to use color.…

    The artists that have inspired me the most so far in my work are Anselm Kiefer, the Chapman brothers and Monet. I first came across Anselm Kiefer and Monet when doing the painting module of our project; although Kiefer is more of a mixed media artist; I had been aware of their work previously however. I came across the Chapman brothers in one of our art history lectures and thought it could be quite interesting to see how their landscapes compare to the more classical painted landscapes. Monet was one of the forefront artists during the impressionism movement in the late nineteenth century. Monet rejected the classical styles of painting and took on his own much more expressive style choosing to enhance the colours he saw which make his work…

    He made many different hues, values, lines, textures, and shapes. At the same time he kept the same size while changing the color also shows variety in the painting. The variety of sizes of rocks displays realness because not all rocks are the same size. The variety of colors shown such as the fox’s fur that has brown, black, light orange, and white all blended in together like a real fox should have. The sizes of things change as you look at the front of the picture with the fox and going back as you see things start to decrease in the…

    Paul Cezanne`s painting" The Large Bathers " was his largest painter and quite different from his previous painter. One of the charcter of his painting which makes his painting unique is that he included nuditiy while including some tree in different forms. One can see from his painting that all the women are nude and perform different activites. From my understanding of the painting that the women are in freedom and enjoying the nature. But when it comes to the reality, women can not act such a way even if they want to do that because of the traditional and some religious belive.…
