He also uses various biomorphic shapes, meaning he based the shapes on natural forms. Lastly, this painting demonstrates atmospheric perspective. Perspective through color change, value, and detail(48). All of these visual elements combined together, allow an artist to create an outstanding work of art.
The development of new ideas about nature led many artists to a different artistic style which focused on the appearance of the natural world. The growing wealth of the middle class during this time led many people to admire the new art being created by artists like Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Hals. “In still lifes, portraits, landscapes, and scenes of everyday life... Dutch masters practiced the ‘art of describing’”(Fiero 121). The “art of describing” relates closely to the scientific method of focusing heavily on attention to detail and empirical evidence.
Eventually, he was familiar with modern painting and decided to paint like that for a long time. That soon ended when he returns to the Midwest, he forgot everything that he had learned about modern art to paint realistic style art. He wanted to paint art that had a cultural and colonial meaning to it. Around august,
Painting is slow process; an oil painting has to be completed over time. Considering compositional elements, analyzing colour mixes, and layering and building up paint is a time consuming practice. However, it these formal concerns, along with the physical manipulation of paint that engages Marshall. Furthermore, it is precisely this slow production that attracted Marshall to the project.
However, the Boulevard Montmartre arts that he created is better known than just one of the painting in his collection. The other art that he painted for the collection Boulevard Montmartre is : Boulevard Montmartre: Afternoon Sunlight 1897, Boulevard Montmartre: Afternoon Sun 1897, Boulevard Montmartre: Morning Cloudy Weather, 1897, Boulevard Montmartre: Afternoon in the Rain, Boulevard Montmartre: Foggy Morning, Boulevard Montmartre: Mardi-Gras, Boulevard Montmartre: Morning Gray Weather, Boulevard Montmartre: Morning Sunlight and Mist, Boulevard Montmartre: Spring, Boulevard Montmartre: Spring Rain, Boulevard Montmartre: Sunset, and Boulevard Montmartre: Night Effect.

This artist used the medium as a way to add to his stylized painting and create further blurring which was mean to bring emotion
style. In the years of 1883-1885, most of his paintings had a “darkened pallet” with monochromatic colors (67). Art pieces like Loom, which was painted in 1884, show the monochromatic style by being made up of only light browns and dark browns. It wasn’t until 1886 that he decided to lighten his color pallet (114). His reasoning for this was because it “would be more expressive than the darker pallet” (115).
His use of dark colors and shades in this painting casts a type of ambivalent view, their worn and tattered clothing cause the viewer to sympathetic to them and what their perceived state is. Although the entire painting is monochromatic with his predominant use of colors such as blacks and browns, the features of the characters in this painting are clear and realistic because of his use of the Chiaroscuro technique to fashion the faces of the characters. The figures are symmetrically distributed on the canvas which makes the composition very balance utilizing all the positive space. Traditionally post-impressionist art compositions are bursting with color and depth, but Van Gogh use of color though not traditional still manages to create the experience viewers would get from viewing post-impressionist art. “Post Impressionists also emphasized their emotions and personal responses in their paintings, which consequently were more expressive and figurative in nature.”
Van Gogh is the king of light because he disperses a lot of colors on to this painting, making it look very illusive, or different. Another thing about this oil painting is the colors, which is yellow and blue, and they point out his work of art is classified as impressionism, which overall, “Van Gogh oil painting to display in their vision of reality” (oil painting-planet.com). Van Gogh also uses tone when creating light for his paintings because this is an example of his expression lines and which this also creates an arbitrary color scheme through the painting. Arbitrary is the artistic style that makes sense for this painting because this shows how the mixture of colors can become implied to its mediums. For this painting, the medium was oil, or oil pastel, but the point is that the colors has to blend in with the canvas which Van Gogh masters to create an impressive impasto painting.
The landscape painting is depicted vertically, showing a deep mass and volume of the painting and visually showing a dream-like fade that is highly influential to other artworks during the song era in the "golden age of Chinese landscape painting".6 The painting was highly influenced by the movement of the imperial court and reflects highly on the details of its landscape form, showing it 's foregrounds and depth. The way Li Cheng envisioned the idea of total restlessness is by creating a wash of mineral colored pigments to show a symbolic atmosphere of a dream. The elements of the painting contain tampered brushed lines that appear to be modulated or iron-wire painted lines.7 The painting consists of a very washed out texture, forming an illusion of depth through perspective, and managing a dramatic backdrop that displays a rich fade of what appears to
Imagine pixels on a television painted with oil on a canvas, this pointillism concept was portrayed in Paul Signac’s Place des Lices, St. Tropez. In 1893, color theory, the idea of mixing colors and the visual effects of color combinations, was becoming well known. He and another artist, Seurat, developed neo impressionism, also known as pointillism or divisionism. As an artist, he focused on landscapes and using vivid, contrasting colors to convey the effects of light on his objects (Gerlings 100). Signac’s Place des Lices, St. Tropez, has many Hellenistic qualities such as motion in the painting, the use of color to portray light and shadow, and the illustration of emotion in an everyday scene.
Although the term “impressionism” was not a nice term to begin with, it fit the painters rather well. Monet painted this way because he sought to capture the essence of the natural world by using those strong colors and bold but short brushstrokes. The paintings brought out a new color theory that people had not seen before in previous works. Monet said that there was no black in nature so there should be no black in his paintings.
Claude Monet is famous for being one of the founders of the Impressionist art style. He was known to put the expression of one’s perceptions above the reality of nature. The term impressionism comes from Monet himself, “Many of the rejection of his more ambitious works...inspired Monet to join with Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, Renoir, and others in establishing an independent exhibition in 1874. Impression: Sunrise(1873; Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris), one of Monet's contributions to this exhibition, drew particular scorn for the unfinished appearance of its loose handling and indistinct forms. Yet the artists saw the criticism as a badge of honor, and subsequently called themselves "Impressionists" after the painting's title” (Auricchio).
One work that captures both Matisse’s respect for Signac and departure from the scientific approach is his early Fauvist piece Luxe, Calme, et Volupté (1904). The sky in this painting contains dots not unlike Neo-Impressionist divisionism, though while Signac and others carefully chose their colors to create maximum harmony, Matisse chooses the colors that border one another according to his own whims and fancies. The goal for Matisse may still well be harmony, though it’s a personal harmony that belongs to the moment at which he painted. In addition, Matisse’s highly individual painting style divorces his work from any
career exceeded six decades. He was influenced by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, “who painted in a “Pointillist” style with small dots of color rather than full brushstrokes”
