His style, a mixture of Post-impressionism and symbolism, was developed because of how he learned art, and who his artistic role models were. Post-impressionism,…

The interaction between the flâneur and worker suggest an underlying class conflict present in contemporary Paris. The setting of the painting, notable as an engineering marvel, is also historically important because it is where “different social classes [come] into daily contact,” despite its past as the “scene of heavy fighting during the Commune” (Fried 21). While the bloody history of Paris is still fresh, the calmness of the bridge suggests that class relations are evolving and perhaps…

I am visiting the serene city of Chatou, in north-central France where I have had the opportunity to view an Impressionist work of art by Pierre-Auguste Renoir that he painted in 1881 with oil on canvas titled Luncheon of the Boating Party. If you have a chance to visit Chatou, I highly recommend it. Chatou is a long, narrow island in the midst of the River Seine and is a nice getaway from the crowds in Paris. You can travel to Chatou by taking a flight into Paris and then taking a short train…

This style of art responds to the emotion of the artist. This type of art reflects the symbolic and personal meanings behind the art that connects viewers to incorporate its value. Post-impressionism also emphases, particularly using oil paints, abstract form and pattern in presentation to the surface of a canvas. The other form of art that I chose to decrypt is, “Road to Happiness”, by Victor Figol. “Road to Happiness”, is a post-modern…

painters after Rembrandt. Post-impressionism expands on that of impressionism; however, more colors, techniques, and less clean lines is what helped it make its claim to fame. Impressionist art is typical, strict, clear, and concise whereas post-impressionism you could say breaks some of these rules. “The Post-Impressionists rejected this limited aim in favor of more ambitious expression, admitting their debt, however, to the pure, brilliant colors of Impressionism, its freedom from traditional…

The first song is ‘Voiles’ composed by Claude Debussy. It is a 20th century piece in the Impressionism genre.
