Art Pieces for the Office When people look at pieces of art for the office, they should pick pieces that will not only be appreciated by the people that work there but also the clients that visit the areas these are being put on display. They are the impressionism and the post-impressionism eras. These periods have been touched by a variety of artists that use new techniques in order to paint what they were interested in painting.
Impressionism
Impressionism was the late 19th-century art movement that sought to capture a fleeting moment, thereby conveying the elusiveness and impermanence of images and conditions (Kleiner, 2013, p. 1087). In late 1841 and the beginning 1843, the invention of paint in metal tubes was invented. This allowed the artists to transport the paints and paint out in the outdoors and paint instead of being shut off in the studio (Sayre, 2011, p. 1020). The three painter of this era that is essential to understanding this period is Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and James Whistler.
Claude Monet
Monet specialized in the new term called en plein air. This would mean working outdoors instead of the studio to paint. He did an extensive study of the phenomena of light and color which is especially in several series of paintings he made of the same subject. The painting I chose is the Rouen Cathedral.
In 1892–93, Monet painted more than thirty views of Rouen Cathedral. Moving from one canvas to another as the day progressed, Monet painted the facade with highly textured brushstrokes that both convey the aspect of sculpted stone and make the atmosphere and light palpable.
The pictures in this series are more than a record of the cathedral 's appearance at different times of the day; they are the record of the artist 's subjective experience of light and air. Monet finished the works in his studio at Giverny, carefully adjusting the images both
