    Claude Monet was an impressionist painter who would later influence the movement of modern art and create one of the most famous paintings Water lilies (Oscar 1). This has been recreated many times by artists all over the world. Claude Monet was born in Paris France on November 14, 1840. In his early life he loved to be outdoors and would always draw in his school books. At the age of five he lived in the Normandy Region with his siblings and later on moved back to Paris after the death of his mother to become an artist; his father wanted him to study business, but he still chose to pursue his dream (Oscar 1). Georges Seurat was part of the Neo-impressionist movement. He was born in Paris France on December 2, 1859; he started to gain interest in art because of his uncle and soon began to take lessons from him. He was enrolled at the famous Ecole de Beaux-Arts Paris. He was fairly interested in work from Monet (Georges 1). They both have their similarities and differences; they both wanted to capture more natural scenery of what everyday life is like. Seurat used a new method called Pointillism, which can be seen in his Sunday afternoon painting (Thomas 162). Monet was mainly known for using brush strokes to show urgency/movement in his paintings. Monet used pastels; they were colors that were better to work with when trying to mimic nature (Oscar 124). Seurat used colors that were undiluted and layered on top of one another. Water…

    Community Art Connection: The Iceberg By Frederic Church

    Community Art Connection The 1861 painting, The Iceberg by Frederic Church was one of my favorite pieces of art during my visit to the Dallas Museum or Art. What grabbed my attention were the colors of the painting. The different shades of blue gave me a sense of calmness and peace. The reflectivity of the sunlight on the iceberg was very well executed to the point where the viewer could easily tell which parts of the iceberg were colder and which parts were heated by the sun.…

    Just a little bit off from the middle of the painting there is a structure not unlike Stone Hedge in England on top of a hill.

    Response To The Church Analysis

    Church’s painting serves as an artistic response to war due to the depiction of the American flag on the sky. The ingenious use of the brush strokes to mimic the stripes of the flag is breathtaking. The Artist brings out the stripes of the flag with the thin clouds in the middle of a light blue sky. The painting also shows the stripes waving similar to those of a flag when blown by the wind (Burke 39).…

    The Swing by Jean Fragonard

    Fragonard’s The Swing is a celebration of romance, frivolity that’s filled with marked by elaborate decorativeness, light colors, and organic forms, which were just a few of the characteristics that were representative of the Rococo movement in 18th century Paris, France. Jean Honoroe-Fragonard's was a French born painter who throughout his life studied his craft in Paris and Italy under more well-known artists of the period, but eventually came to be one of the pioneers of what French Rococo was ideally about. Fragonard’s The Swing also known as The Happy Accidents of the Swing is considered as one of the masterpieces of the rococo era, and is considered Fragonard's best known work. The creation of this beautiful masterpiece was originally commissioned in Paris by a wealthy baron in homage to his mistress. The medium of this art piece was oil on canvas and stands at a height of 31 ⅞ " × 25 ¼". In the end Fragonard’s is someone whose name would become synonymous with the French Rococo. I really enjoyed this painting because of the beautiful colors of the clothing and scenery. It just gives an idea of whimsy and playfulness a reoccurring theme during this movement.…

    Sunday On La Grande Jatte Essay

    Georges Seurat’s painting of “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte -1884'” depicts tranquilize people located on the island of La Grande Jatte. Looking closer into the background there are soldiers and regular looking people in the back with one typical guy with higher class people in the foreground. It like a unanimity between social class to enjoy a sunny day on a island. Looking closely into the painting there are tiny strokes of lines creating leaves on the ground and on the tree, but also everywhere creating texture. The overlapping creates space and every person are very different from each other creating variety.…

    Claude Monet Haystacks Essay

    The Metropolitan Museum of Art is full of exciting and mesmerizing thousands and thousands of pieces of artwork. One could find an artwork as prehistoric as the early people and as recent as from the 21st century at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, from the small list of objects which I was given, I had to choose only one to discuss, which is a really hard task if you ask me. Writing about one piece of artwork is almost similar to writing about my best place in the world. There are so many places in the world and so many pieces of artworks which I haven’t seen yet but I would like to see them as many as possible, but writing about one particular one is a difficult task. However, from the list of artworks that I had seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I was most mesmerized by Haystacks (Effect of Snow and Sun) by Claude Monet. The reason I chose to write about this particular piece of work is due to the way it attracted me. I would suggest everyone to go see this painting due to the reasons I will be discussing.…
