This style is evident in one of my favorite paintings by Cezanne titled Route devant la Montagne Sainte-Victoire, completed in 1902. The painting is part of a series Cezanne did between 1882 and 1906, which according to an online art magazine, contained some of “the greatest landscapes ever painted.” (Fernández) The view in this painting is of a mountain in France that is surrounded by forests. When looking at this painting the vivid colors and soft airy textures creates a positive aura. In…

The painting conveys how the crazy storm is approaching towards the nearby land. From this, people near the shore are running away. They are telling other people to watch out and run away from those big waves. People that are laying on top of the rocks were trying to be safe from the waves. Furthermore, it looks like towards the smaller rocks people were swept from the waves to the land. They are trying to catch their breaths and other people are dragging them away from the shore. On top of that…

paintings and began to analyze them, I realized how different they were. The artists use the similar styles and techniques, yet the end product is drastically different. The first work I looked at was The Sea at Le Havre (1868, oil in canvas) by Claude Monet. This particular painting was from the Impressionist movement. It depicts an almost baron shore, with choppy waves. There is a sail boat close to…

The first line of “America”…

Tarsila do Amaral’s “Antropofagia” stands out to me the most as it is the first piece that one sees as they walk in the exhibition. The viewer is taken aback by the vibrant shades of orange that immediately catch their eye. The closer the viewer gets to the painting, the more that they can make out of the simple shapes that are common in Tarsila’s work. These shapes are outlined in darker colors that contrast with the colors of what is behind them. There are two figures sitting side by side in…
