HSC visual art impressionism
Venice Twilight by Claude Monet 1908 oil on canvas
Monet uses loose brushstrokes and does not blend his colours. This gives the painting an unrealistic aesthetic. The steeple of the town centre looks much like Van Gogh’s later Starry Night. The artist still does retain aspects of classical landscapes in his use of light and shadow to form the waves. The precarious blending of the natural aspects is very different to traditional techniques. Monet challenges the artists of the past with his innocuous shapes, silhouettes and brushstrokes. His use of blending creates a haze over the image which really does lend viewers an impression of the scene rather than a realistic image of recollection.
