Henri Matisse was a French Artist during the Cubist and Fauvist period, which influenced his art greatly. Although he was primarily known as a painter, he was also a printmaker, sculptor, and draughtsman. His piece Mademoiselle Yvonne Landsberg resembles that of a print; however, it is in oil painting. Mademoiselle Yvonne Landsberg is believed to have been a piece in which Matisse was experimenting with new ideas and methods, as this painting appears to be very labor intensive. There are multiple parts of the painting where Matisse scraped away layers of paint and leave behind lines that parallel cross-hatching.

    Just last summer after grade 9, I went to New York City and Philadelphia. They both have amazing art museums: New York has the Museum of Metropolitan Art and Philadelphia has the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Both art museums have beautiful and alluring paintings that I love and it’s evident that these paintings are genuine works of art and that they exemplify what we define as art: something that is beautiful, intricate, bold or simple. I remember seeing the “Irises” painted by Van Gough and the full series of “Poplars” by Monet. Van Gogh emphasizes tones and shadows while Monet depicts his subjects realistically with small, fine, but visible brushstrokes. Their styles are unique and distinguishable and there is a wide range art styles to

Seurat worked two years on this painting, preparing it woth at least twenty drawings and forty color sketched. In these preliminary drawings he analyzed, in detail every color relationship and every aspect of pictorial space. La Grande Jatte was like an experiment that involved perspective depth, the broad landscape planes of color and light, and the way shadows were used. Everything tends to come back to the surface of the picture, to emphasize and reiterate the two dimensional plane of which it was painted on. Also important worth mentioning is the way Seurat used and created the figures in the painting.

    Monet was very sensitive to the movement towards light, who was good at discovering the connection between the light and shadow to create a series of painting which depicted the same object in different lights and angles. His painting skill about sketches and oil painting was taught by Eugène Louis Boudin, and he started to paint on site after he found that many painters imitated the artwork of the famous artists in the Louvre. Monet believed that all the landscape paintings should be painted on site, which decided he had to change his working habit and discover a new technical method to chase the rapid change of the landscape.[2] For example, a famous painting called Le Soleil Levant, it depicted a foggy harbor view of the sunrise. The boatmen were poling their boats out to sea when the sun was slowly raising and the smoke was rolling up from the chimney, the sea as a mirror in which the whole scene was reflected on it.
