Artistic theme

Lunch on the Grass

One day in the summer of 1865, the 25-year-old Monet went to the Seine River in Paris to write a picture and was working on "The Lunch on the Grass." Came, an 18-year-old girl from Lyon, is pure and lovely. She has the following mortal elves, and she exudes the brilliance of Monet. Monet fell in love with Kamei and excitedly invited Kamei to be her own model.

Although this painting has a precise depiction of the characters, the real color is the background of the leaves. They are transparent green in the backlight, and the layers are rich in yellow-green to dark green. Monet explains that each leaf in the painting is He is the face of a model. The oil painting depicts the vividness of the external light and the true nature of the scene. In the oil painting, the sunlight shines on the characters and the ground scene through the trees, which is transparent and refreshing. The Kameiyi in the painting is so gentle and quiet, it is no wonder that Monet is so fascinated.

"Jenny in the Garden"

"Jenny in the Garden" is a masterpiece created outside and taken from the natural scenery of the painter's garden in Verda Fleet. In this work, Monet succeeded in showing the naturalness of the original "impression": the sun shines through the leaves, forming bright and dark and mottled light and shadow on the ground. The floral decorations on the women's dress, the flowers on the lawn, the leaves protruding in the thick green, the sky from the gap between the leaves, the light that penetrates the shadows, all create a beautiful mosaic The effect of the painting.

The style of the ladies' skirt in the picture, it is completely in line with the popular style of the year. Use a shade of white umbrella to block the woman's side of the sun, delineating the arc of her graceful figure. The sun is shining in the garden. The woman's beautiful white dress is more fully covered. The strange impressionist female painter Moriso said: "Before Monet's painting, I often know which side of my parasol should be turned."

Mrs. Goujar

In the center of the painting, Mrs. Goujar is dressed in a yellow-green dress. The skirt is very open behind her. The skirt is decorated with a white lace lapels. There is a gold jewel on the lapels. She is a red and black. Wrapped in a white shawl. Part of it appears on a brown-green tapestry decorated with a pattern of flowers, painted in a few strokes with a brush, and a part on a blue rim with red edges. On a table behind her, there was a dark cloth and a glassware with feet. There were two green leafy yellow roses in the vessel.

Monet's brushwork looks natural, free and easy, and he does not accurately describe certain content but just clicks on it, which gives it a mapping feature. These are the signs of independence of an authentic classical painting. This is the artist's last great portrait, and he has preferred to paint landscapes for a long time. This painting represents the culmination of his early painting career.

Sunrise Impression

"Sunrise Impression" is the world's most valuable 20 painting classics.

There is a glimpse of the water on the picture, a dazzling red day in the clouds, a foggy morning scene: the sea is dyed into lavender by the morning, the sky is smudged by various color blocks into reddish, water waves Painted by thick, long strokes, the three swaying boats are blurred in the thin painted color points, the silhouette of the ship is faintly discernible, and the factory chimneys in the distance and the cranes on the big ships are looming. Claude Monet's impression of the impression seen from a window on the canvas, so boldly using a random brushstroke to show the fog of the scene, is unprecedented, this work shocked the painting. Impression Sunrise vividly depicts the light and color that melts in the morning sun and the fog, accurately depicting Monet's vivid impression of the fleeting harbour scene at sunrise. What the Impressionist School pursues is to accurately capture the light and color changes of this moment.

The painting is a pioneering work of Impressionist painting, which marks the creation of Impressionist painting. It has quickly become a world-wide, far-reaching world of painting. It emphasizes the light and color of nature, and the change of light and color as the mainstream of painting. Monet is considered to be the first Impressionist to paint with exterior light techniques.

"reader"

In order to get rid of the bail-out life in Paris, Monet came to the country with Kamei and his son, renting a house with a studio in Argenteuil, near the suburbs of Paris, next to the banks of the Seine. In Argenteuil, Monet spent the happiest and most creative time of his life.

Around the house where they lived, they all looked green in the past, and there were wild flowers everywhere. When the window was opened, the sun would fill the room. Although not wealthy, they always lived like a monk. But the hardships of life and the pressure to raise children have not hindered Kameiyi, and it has always been an optimistic attitude.

The painter captures the light and shadow changes of the light shining through the leaves on the skirt and the grass of the woman, thus highlighting the jumping and variability of the outdoor light. The contrast of the light and dark colors freezes the instant effect of the spot on the canvas. The Kameiyi in the painting is so gentle and quiet, such as the hibiscus, the lady, and the inexhaustible brilliance.

Lilac in the Sun

It is recognizable that two female characters are bathed in the bright summer sun under the shrubs filled with pink lilacs. However, the characters are not the key to the picture, but more importantly, the grass, the clothes of Kamei under the tree, the parasols in the wind, and the faint reflections on the flowering shrubs.

The righteousness of the picture is free and loose, and the brushwork is in various shapes that are lightly shot with thin paint, and there is almost no thick brush stroke. Some parts of the foreground are in the shadows, but even these dark color points are filled with light and do not contain black. These colors are only slightly darker and will be lighter in the sun. The principle that impressionism brightens colors in the sun has been very evident here. This will become the basic feature of Monet's late works. Monet rarely uses varnish, and in most cases uses a layer of opaque pigment.

Argenteuil Flower Field

This painting depicts a summer landscape in the vast fields. The wind is light and the sky is high. People walk leisurely in the flowers of the flower fields, and there is a peaceful rural scene. The figure on the lower right is the painter's wife, Kamei. And son Jean. Blue sky and white clouds, green wild red flowers, and his wife Kameiyi are looming in the grass.

The painter did not pursue a clear and accurate outline. He only used colorful short strokes to express the foreground roses, which made them occupy a large proportion in the visual, although abstract but rhythmic. In the composition, it is first divided into two parts, the sky and the grassland, using contrasting color representation. In the lower part of the picture, the mother and the child in the upper left form a diagonal structure with the mother and child in the lower right. The red rose area and the blue-green grass and tree areas on the right show a very bright color.

"Woman with a parasol"

Because it was raining, the sky was so blue and the sun was shining. The wife opened the green parasol and the son put on a small sunhat. The wife came over from the hillside in front, and Monet suddenly stopped, and the bright sunshine gave her wife a layer of aura that seemed so feminine. Looking at her husband's hair, his wife turned his head and looked at him with a look of confusion. The son in the distance looked at him with a look of disappointment. The sun illuminates his pink face. He is simply Cupid. Monet moved to tears and this morning's light and shadow was deeply imprinted on his mind.

Monet is skillful and full of emotions: the brush strokes are free and delicate, and there is a raging wind everywhere. Behind Kamei, the bright sunlight stains her parasol tip, and her fluttering skirt is handed over to the green grass and yellow wildflowers. It is another color. The euphoria of an outing, the emotions of the fresh-moving people in the paintings, all come with passionate brushstrokes and vivid colors. This is the most beautiful work of depicting Kamei. She is so fresh and active in the painting. It is one of the most classic female portraits in the history of Impressionism and even in the history of art.

"Kamey of Reading"

This "Kamey of Reading" by Monet's like-minded friend Renoir, how saturated the color, how warm the scene, people simply suspect that the real love of Kameiyi is Renoir. Renoir's ceramic painter's origin, the ability to express transparent colors has a great influence on his personal style. Renoir explores new forms of shaping with the emotions of a sincere observer. He broke all the plastic details into the small brushstrokes of countless colors by the principle of prismatic analysis of the spectrum, and applied them to the canvas side by side. The gentle, quiet, elegant and exquisite beauty of Kamei is vividly expressed. His art always affirms the beauty of life.

Mother and Child in the Garden

This piece is entirely based on paintings of life. Kameiyi sat in the garden and quietly made needlework under the warm sunshine. A woman who has been in love for ten years has become a wife and a mother. In Monet's pen, it may no longer be the beautiful model. A woman, with the identity of a wife and a mother, seems to have disappeared from the temptation of the original woman as a flower bloom, but it grows like a fruit that is quiet and full.

With my sincere emotions, I drive the brush, the beauty of my beloved Kameiyi's good wife and good mother, the gentle and quiet temperament, the maternal gentleness without reservation through the works, the passion of the venting.

Red Scarf

From this painting, you can faintly capture the life of Kamei. In the backlight, Kamei, with a red scarf, is the red color against the snow. This color tone is probably what Monet hopes that Kamei can continue to burn like a raging fire. Passing through the door, with a distinctly pity, but the hardships of the years are also a bit tired. Break into this so-called home. I was afraid that I was rushing to do the housework that I could never finish, and Monet, who focused on painting in the door, couldn’t help but stop her. At this moment, Monet just raised her head and met each other. So, he was deeply drawn by this hurried glimpse, turning the moment into eternity. The dark red headscarf contrasts with Camille's slightly tired face. This fleeting moment is full of tears and sorrows. People are inexplicably sad and unable to self.

Kamei accompanied Monet through the first hard years, but did not share her husband's reputation. Monet was full of memories of Kamei for the rest of his life, and he kept the painting for the rest of his life. He cherished this piece very much, and placed it in the bedroom for the rest of his life. It can be seen how deeply Monet remembers Kamei.

Flowering Fruit Tree

The town houses are exposed between the fruit trees, followed by yellow and green hills. Monet put all his attention into the study of natural scenery. There are no obvious characters in his picture. All this is because he just lost his love, there is nothing to replace his pain. Painting can only temporarily divert the artist's attention, but it can't save his broken family.

The combination of the dotted lines in the picture seems to be able to move gently with the breeze, surpassing the original true color of nature, using subtle hues to express the overall light color effect, and the brushstrokes on the top of the mountain are tilted upwards. Gathering, guiding the audience's gaze in the subconscious, forming a visual effect of the wind without movement, showing a bright, breezy and faint picture.

"The Flower of Vitui"

More than a year after Kamei’s death, the grief of Monet was immersed in his artistic creations, depicting everything around Vitui: the Seine and its small islands, villages and churches, wheat fields and Poppy fields, etc. This work is the creation of this period. The brush strokes are more coherent than the earlier works. The grass, trees and overcast sky are conveyed to the audience as an inseparable whole.

"Sea Shadow"

Monet's depiction of the sea fully demonstrates his Impressionist painting technique, using a series of short, curved strokes to depict the shadows, reflections, and movements of the sea, and the use of color is more inclined to pure, undoped colors. When you are at a distance from the picture and squinting at the picture halfway, the flowing water elements become one and gradually start to tremble, which is exactly what a hot summer is when the sea is blown by the wind.

"The House of Antibes"

In 1888, Monet achieved a second trip through the south of France. He stopped in Antibes midway. When the weather is normal, the painter can work, and the sun in the south makes him fascinated. This time his color, based on the subtle blue and pink, gives his oil painting an excellent appearance. Everything is golden in the sun, and the blue Alps are always snow-capped mountains, very dazzling.

Poplar Tree

The blue sky with white clouds floating in the picture, the elegant poplars in the breeze and the sparkling water surface reflecting all the waves are combined by the painter using fine and bright brushstrokes.

It is said that these poplars are being sold as timber, and Monet has worked with timber merchants to buy the trees at the auction so that they can retain them before they can continue painting. The scene in Monet's sight is pure and natural, expressing the true feelings of the heart; the blending of the objects in his works reflects that all things have an aura, even if one tree and one stone are not lacking in anger, one can pay attention to others. Life movement. In short, painting is a heart, Monet pursues a artistic conception of natural beauty and natural beauty, and is a realm from appreciation of beauty to understanding beauty and finally beyond beauty.

Water Lily

One of the most important works of Monet's later years was the continuous creation of Water Lilies. This is a magnificent epic, the most brilliant and splendid "Ninth Symphony" in his life. Water lily became the theme of his later years. For the next 27 years, he almost never left the subject. At the Sotheby's auction in London on June 19, 007, Monet's "Water Lily" was sold for £18.5 million ($36.8 million), breaking the auction of Monet's other painting "Waterloo Bridge in the Clouds". Record. On May 6, 2014, at the Spring Auction in New York, Monet's Water Lily was taken by a Chinese buyer by telephone at a price of $24 million (including a commission of $27 million). Given that this painting belongs to Monet's most famous series of paintings, Christie's previously expected the auction price of the painting without commission at least $25 million.

In this "Water Lily", contrary to his usual painting, the paintings of trees and flowers are invisible with large strokes, and the canvas and the paint are completely unseen. This painting has become an abstract work. It is the last message of Monet, the beauty that is conveyed to the world by the innovative abstract art, and the natural atmosphere that surrounds you. This feeling is so strong that only the impressionist painter can create it.

In her later years, Monet painted a lot of water lily paintings, full of harmony, solemnity and tranquility, revealing a kind of illusory artistic conception; and the water lily among them is even more beautiful and unparalleled, just like the sleeping beauty in dreams. same. Some people say that it is the incarnation of his lifelong lover, Kamei, and he has deeply missed Kameiyi.
