Early life and influence Monet was born on the fourteenth of November 1840. He died on the fifth of December 1926. Monet was born in Paris, France. When he was a child, his parents died and he was sent to live with his aunt. Monet was always interested in nature as a child.

They became close friends. He studied with a fellow classmate monet and both became artists. He used only nine colors of paint. Lead white, madder red, , French ultramarine, black ivory, cadmium yellow, viridian, and emerald green. I chose bridge over a pool of water lilies because it gives me a calming peaceful feeling. When I look at it it just fills me with hope and makes me want to meditate. The painting bridge over a pool of water lilies was based off of his garden where he built a bridge and a pool of water lilies in Giverny. He did not care much for the different kinds of trees and lilies. What he liked was the reflections and so that was what he spent the most time on. He said it was peaceful and inducing meditation. His painting has been compared to Japanese bridge prints. It is probably not a coincidence that he was an avid collector of Japanese prints. He said he had “no other wish than to mingle closely with nature”. Finally we look at his adult
Claude Monet played an essential role in a development of Impressionism. He created many paintings by capturing powerful art from the world around him. He was born on November 14, 1840, in Paris, France. Later, his family moved to Le Havre, Normandy, France because of his father’s business. Claude Monet did drawings of the nature of Normandy and time spent along the beaches and noticing the nature. As a child, his father had always wanted him to go into the family grocery business, but he was interested in becoming an artist. He was known by people for his charcoal caricatures, this way he made money by selling them by the age of 15. Moreover, Claude went to take drawing lessons with a local artist, but his career in painting had not begun yet. He met artist Eugène Boudin, who became his teacher and taught him to use oil paints.

During Vincent Van Gogh’s childhood years, and even before he was born, impressionism was the most common form of art. Impressionism was a very limiting type of art, with certain colors and scenes one must paint with. A few artists had grown tired of impressionism, however, and wanted to create their own genre of art. These artists, including Paul Gaugin, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Paul Cezanne, hoped to better express themselves by painting ...
In Conclusion Monet was a creative individual. By letting his love for art as a young child, gives him the courage to pursue his dream and never give up, even when the ones close to him had doubt. he prove himself that he can do what he intend to do, and he was willing to learn. This shows that one can accomplish what they want to do as long as they have the will and determination to reach the top. He had the intelligences, and he kept on with the growth from different artistic influences and supportive individuals, and information that he received. He increased his painting ability from marginality, and re-orientation of a domain, consistent production of quality works. Monet was a genius and creative. I admired his strong will and determination, one of his favorite quote was” everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to
After we both looked at the painting for a few moments, she commented on its beauty and praised Claude Monet as a "great artist." I liked the painting myself. The different shades of yellow, orange, red, and violet were very appealing, but I questioned why Monet was "great." He obviously had difficulty painting exact detail. The objects in the work were so simplistic and blurred that I had difficulty determining what they were. In fact, the painting reminded me of the seemingly pain, unsophisticated art found in some children's storybooks.
Achille-Claude Debussy was born on August 22, 1862, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, the oldest of five children. He grew up in a poor family but his love for the piano, sparked the beginning of his career and future success. When Claude turned 7, he started taking piano lessons and by the time he was 10, he was entered into the Paris conservatory where his talents were recognized by his fellow instructors and peers. Claude Debussy spent most of his life with Nadezhda von Meck, who was a russian business woman/musician that wanted Claude to teach her children how to play piano. With her and her children, Debussy traveled Europe and began accumulating musical
Claude Monet was born on November 14, 1840, in Paris, France and moved to LeHavre with his family at age five (Skira 21). As a schoolboy, Monet doodled in the margins of his books. His artistic career began by drawing caricatures of his schoolmasters distorting their faces and profiles outrageously. By the time he was fifteen, people would pay ten or twenty francs for one of his drawings (Skira 22).

He was born on October 25, 1881, in Málaga, Spain. In his lifetime Picasso created Cubism and made several contributions in the fields of symbolism and surrealism.

The composition concentrates mainly on the foreground .It has three main points of interest, the small rowing boats, the artificial island and the floating barge .It also has a stretch of trees and foliage in the background painted in a much lighter fashion. Monet?s painting has a very different composition from Renoir?s painting of Grenouillere, which was done at the same time; Renoir?s painting is focussed much more on the artificial island and the people on it. Monet uses a combination of thick bold brushstrokes and small short soft brushstrokes; this creates a nice varied look and helps give a good impression of perspective. The tone is also very varied as it is Very light in some areas, but it is also quite dark in others, such as the shades on the barge. The use of dark shades in the foreground makes the boat look so realistic and quite 3D. Although the middle ground is flatter this helps add to the perspective. The water ho...
Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest and most influential artists and creator of Cubism. I recommend that you go and see some of his art in person. He was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and stage designer. He was born on the twenty-fifth of October, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one, in Malaga, Spain. Your mother will know that she grew up to be something big. Picasso's father taught him how to draw and paint when he was a child, and when he was thirteen, his level was better than his father. He died on April 8, nineteen hundred and seventy-three, to ninety-one, in Mougins, France. I have been studying Picasso's art for years. It had many different periods of art, including the blue, the rose and the classic periods.
One really interesting thing about this painting is that even though the sun seems to be the brightest object in the painting, viewers can also find the brightest part in this painting without the sun. This is because Monet depicted the light and the shade for each object. When carefully observing the shadow of the sun in the water, there are two parts to each object color, which are orange and white. In this way, these paint strokes show a feeling of vitality to viewers. In addition, he applied the relationship of light and shape to illustrate a picture of the morning port, and wanted to give viewers an impression of liveliness. The early morning sun is depicted rising over the foggy harbor with ships and other various boats at port (Monet). The shadows of the boats and figures and the reflection of the sun’s rays can be seen on the water’s surface (Monet). All these elements show the relation of near and far being applied through light and shade. For example, the ink blue ships are in the front, while the light blue ships are in the back, and the clouds near the sun are colored orange, while the clouds far from the sun are colored yellow (Monet). Monet painted an energetic scene by drawing numbers of element in different colors and situations. From the light and shade aspect, viewers can understand what Monet drew in this painting, and feel a sense of
The Impressionist movement began in 1874 in Paris created by, among others, Claude Monet. The movement took place during the industrialization that started around 1850 in France. The impressionist painters liked to paint everyday life scenes like Parisian leisure time and modern life activities. They painted scenes of people, mostly the bourgeois, in cafes, theaters and concerts (Janson 706). In other words, the artists found their inspiration in daily outdoor scenes. The Impressionist movement attempted to change the painting convention created by the art academy and including modern life was one of the characteristics ...
Monet was born November 14, 1840 and was the second son of a well to do businessman. When Monet was five, the family moved to Le Harve in northern France where Monet would spend most of his formative years. Monet would go to school but would struggle learning in a classroom setting and would often be caught drawing and sketching during lessons. Monet’s aversion to class and instruction would also be evident as he trained as an artist. His mother’s death in 1857, when Monet was 16, caused a lot of grief for Monet and shortly after her death he would leave school, move in with his widowed aunt and pursue art.
Since the dawn of time humans have always found a way of artistic expression. Whether it be cave paintings on the stone walls of their ancient dwellings; or some neanderthal drawing a stick figure on a leaf with their own feces. Artistic expression has always found a way to the surface throughout the history of men. It is because of this that certain figures exist, such as Picasso or Van Gogh. All of these people have had their own distinct styles and quirks when it comes to art. In fact there are many classes of artists.
Claude Monet creates a peaceful, inviting scene through the element of color. The different variations of soft blueish hues give the painting a sense peace. Blending with the
Rene Magritte was one of the most well-known surrealist painters of all time. It was not until he reached his 50s that he finally grasped fame and recognition for his artwork. Magritte was considered the most influential artist of surrealist art and pop art movement, the work he manifested, and his distinct styles. Much of Magritte's work incorporated normal objects, he would arrange the figures, and locations, which forced the viewer to look deeper into the art and at what was represented.
