Edvard Munch spent a lot of time in Paris learning impressionism and post-impressionism, his main style being post-impressionism. He became very successful in his lifetime, but he began hearing voices and drinking heavily. In 1908, he checked himself into a sanitarium where he spent a year getting control of his alcoholism and regaining…

I went to the Harn Museum at UF. I had an overall positive impression of the museum. The museum was kept exceptionally clean. There were gardens through glass in multiple places which was a nice touch. The museum was not busy the day I went, but if it was there would have been enough room for everyone to move around.

This kind of cartoon frame reflects Seal’s childhood when he was raised by television icons such as gilligan and he-man. However, the content of images shows me a great sense of impressionism. Many of Seals paintings depict still-lifes with floral patterns, which reminds me of a19th-century art expression: impressionism.

a significant accomplishment because it combined expression of emotions that was not present before and is such a big genre that it still lives on in today's times. Another significant element in 19th century Western culture in music is Impressionism. Impressionism is another outstanding music genre that combines soft melody of piano and elegant French…

The reason why I recognize the painting to be impressionism it’s because of the tree that is bent back while the person is lying against it. Also, the clouds in the background gives that effect to the painting. Elements of design used for the oil paint are tones of browns, and blues, along with the green…

and is considered to be his first masterpiece. Painted while living among the peasants and laborers in Nuenen in the Netherlands, Van Gogh wanted to depict the people and their lives truthfully (Vincent van Gogh-The Art Story). As he discovered impressionism, Van Gogh saw himself as a painter of peasant life.
