Assignment # 4: Impressionist Vs Post-Impressionist


     


Claude Monet was a French painter and founder of the French impressionist painting. One of the painting below is known as “Water Lilies” painted by Claude Monet. Much of the paintings from the impressionist time shows how it was all about brightness and color in that time. They would not only communicate to their audience but also define the subject matter through applying the visual element color as the main building block. Painters in the past used (Renaissance) allegory in most of their paintings because of the fear of going against the Church and the government but painters in the impressionist era were against it. In addition, Artist in the past worked in studio but impressionist enjoyed working directly from nature. They would apply optical mixing in their paintings which makes the color vivid in the eyes of the viewer and it's because of their firm comprehension and strong relationship with the colors. The invention of photography had a big impact on their lives because they started to visualize art from deeper value.  


VINCIENT VAN GOGH - DUTCH “OLEANDERS” 1888

Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch, post-impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential person in the history of Western art. Post impressionist abandoned the style of the impressionist and part ways to discover his own personal art. Although they didn’t follow the same path as the impressionist because of the limited aim but they applied everything they have learned from them in their painting. In addition to incorporating all the techniques they have learned, post impressionist took their art to the another level by adding more affection, more feeling, more articulation in their art work. Through the help of the color they were able to send a message to the viewer what they felt about the universe in which they live. Representative and highly personal meanings were particularly of great significance or value to Post-Impressionists such as Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh.
