The Cape Martin: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reprodu ... Read more

The Cape Martin: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Claude Monet was a prolific painter, generating many master works during his lifetime. This does not mean, however, that he painted quickly without forethought. On the contrary, Monet thought deeply and carefully about his paintings and struggled to perfect them. As he once wrote to his art dealer, "My aim is to give you only the things with which I am completely satisfied, even if it means asking you a little more [time] for them... for if I were to do otherwise I'd turn into a mere painting machine and you would be landed with a pile of incomplete work which would put off the most enthusiastic of art collectors" (source: http://quote.robertgenn.com/auth_search.php?authid=299). In "The Cape Martin," Monet chooses a bright and colorful fall palette. Oranges, yellows and browns dominate the canvas, rendered as leaves, hedges and trees on the ground. These bright colors are repeated in the sky, which is a wash of bright yellow and orange with no clouds visible. Deep blue and purple horizontal brush strokes are used to depict the sea, which also holds a reflection of the yellow and orange landscape, slightly distorted and refracted in the water. The yellow of the landscape contrasts beautifully with the blue of the water, giving "The Cape Martin" a sense of balance and symmetry. Minimize

Grove of Olive Trees in Bordighera: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Claude Monet wrote, " You'll understand, I'm sure that I'm chasing the merest sliver of color. It's my own fault. I want to grasp the intangible. It's terrible how the light runs out. Color, any color, lasts a second, sometimes 3 or 4 minutes at most" (source: http://quote.robertgenn.com/auth_search.php?authid=299). This is truly the Impressionist painter's challenge: To paint a moment, to capture the light, before it fades and is lost. Monet would tackle this challenge repeatedly during his long painting career. In "Grove of Olive Trees in Bordighera," the viewer seems to be standing in the middle of a path of red earth. The light is dim, but the path glows with warm earth tones, shot through with speckles of green grass. The olive trees are wonderfully gnarled and twisted, stretching up to the sky in buckling, swaying shapes. The tops of the trees extend off the canvas, giving the viewer the impression of staying underneath a dense canopy of leaves. The leaves themselves are just barely suggested with swabs of green, blue and grey. Brush strokes vary between long, vertical strokes and small circular strokes. It's difficult to tell where the leaves stop and the sky behind begins. "Grove of Olive Trees in Bordighera" gives the impression that it was painted very quickly, in rapidly fading light. Minimize

Sunrise: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Claude Monet wrote, " You'll understand, I'm sure that I'm chasing the merest sliver of color. It's my own fault. I want to grasp the intangible. It's terrible how the light runs out. Color, any color, lasts a second, sometimes 3 or 4 minutes at most" (source: http://quote.robertgenn.com/auth_search.php?authid=299). At no time is light more fleeting than at sunrise or sunset. During these times, color can change dramatically, even in a minute's time. "Sunrise (Marine)," is Monet's exploration of color over all else. The color palette here is extremely limited. The sky is a deep grey and blue. It is difficult to tell where the horizon lies, and these same colors are used in the water below. Multiple ships are lined up in the right of the canvas, and more are just visible on the left. The ship nearest to us on the left is spewing smoke from a stack, adding grey to the scene. In the center, a small sailboat with two figures is also rendered in grey and blue. A small rowboat with yet more human figures is shown on the right of the canvas. In the direct center of the canvas, a brilliant orange sun is rising. It is obscured by the clouds, so all the viewer can see are horizontal clouds picking up the orange of the sun. These same lines appear in the water below, coming directly at the viewer. "Sunrise (Marine)" is an ode to orange, and expression of color on a limited background. Minimize

The Museum: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction ... Read more

The Museum: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. As an Impressionist painter, Claude Monet is best known for his images containing soft edges, blurred figures and muted colors. In "The Museum," Monet takes a departure and employs more cubist forms. The top of this image contains a large, yellow museum with rounded windows and grey statues on the roof. Dark blue buildings are seen to the left of the museum. The buildings are nearly obscured with a plethora of sails. They jut in all directions, with sharp edges, defined corners, geometric shapes. They are clearly outlined, and it is easy to see where one sail ends and another begins. The dock is painted a deep blue-black. Again, this is a departure for Monet, as most Impressionist painters shunned deep paint colors such as black. Two small boats containing small figures are shown in the water, a short distance from the dock. Another figure can be seen in a boat on the shore. This figure is fairly well-defined, with a red cap and shirt. The water beneath this scene is more Impressionistic in style, containing blues, white and yellow in horizontal, overlapping strokes. Colors are not blended, but are placed side by side. Interestingly, neither the building nor the boats are reflected in this water in any way. "The Museum" shows Monet experimenting with style, stretching out and trying on Cubism. Minimize

Cap Martin: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction ... Read more

Cap Martin: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Claude Monet was a disciplined painter, who believed that the truth of a place could be found in painting it over and over. Monet said, "I know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its way in that particular spot; and that is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even" (source: http://painting.about.com/library/biographies/blartistquotesmonet.htm). Monet would paint the sea multiple times during his career, from different locations and viewpoints. In "Cap Martin," the sea appears as a blue-green stripe, cutting across the center of the canvas. The current is fast-moving, as no reflections are apparent in it. Rising from the sea are blue cliffs, rendered in deep blue and white paint. These same colors appear in the sky above. The left of the canvas is taken up with a large, curving, undulating set of hedges, painted in green, purple and brown. The mountains appear in a gap in the hedges. The cliff the viewer appears to be standing on is a bright shock of tan. This color does not appear elsewhere in the painting. "Cap Martin" is a bright and joyful look at the sea and the landscape around it. Minimize

The Road To Chailly: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil rep ... Read more

The Road To Chailly: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. In the 1870s, painters were witness to a revolution. Rather than grinding and mixing dry pigment powders with water, they could purchase paint in premixed tubes. This allowed them much more flexibility, as they could leave the studio behind and paint wherever the mood struck. Many Impressionist painters chose to paint outside, using natural light. This technique was called painting "en plein air," and Claude Monet was a master. In "The Road to Chailly," we see him employing these techniques to superb effect. A road stretches to the center of the canvas, picked up in bright yellow and white paint. Grasses line either side of the road, dappled in places with fallen, red leaves. To the right of the canvas, trees in blue and black reach upward to the sky. The bark is well detailed, with speckles of lichen visible. Brightly colored flowering hedges are seen at the base of these trees. The trees to the left of the canvas are most interesting. Nearest the viewer, the trees are realistically painted, with deep trunks and leaves of yellow and green. But as the trees stretch to the distance, they become more abstract. Trunks are suggested only, and individual trees merge to become a cloud of blue. "The Road to Chailly" shows Monet's progression from landscape painter working en plein air to abstract Impressionist master, working with color and emotion. Minimize

Small Country Farm in Bordighera: Claude Monet: Hand-painte ... Read more

Small Country Farm in Bordighera: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Claude Monet visited Bordighera in Italy in 1884, and stayed for four months. He was fascinated by the lush vegetation, the sea, and the light in this coastal town. The tropical plants, growing quickly and wild, was a far cry from the carefully manicured gardens Monet had at home, and he was eager to capture the wildness on canvas. Painting in such a different landscape was difficult for Monet, as he described in a letter home: We're having marvellous weather and I wish I could send you a little of the sunshine. I am slaving away on six paintings a day. I'm giving myself a hard time over it as I haven't yet managed to capture the colour of this landscape, there are moments when I'm appalled at the colours I'm having to use, I'm afraid what I'm doing is just dreadful and yet I really am understating it; the light is simply terrifying" (source: http://painting.about.com/library/biographies/blartistquotesmonet.htm). In "Small Country Farm in Bordighera" puts his skills to the test, painting a small cottage nearly overcome with plants. Tall palm trees loom overhead in spiky protrusions of yellow and blue. These same bright shapes and colors appear in the shrubs and hedges below. Small flowering bushes in yellow and orange march toward the cabin. The viewer is standing on a lush patch of green, pulling you directly into this vibrant, active image of a tropical isle. Minimize

Wheatstacks, Snow Effect, Morning: Claude Monet: Hand-paint ... Read more

Wheatstacks, Snow Effect, Morning: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Claude Monet was a bit of a fair-weather painter. The majority of his paintings depict sunny skies, and his letters are full of bitter discussions of painting days lost due to rain. However, in the winter of 1891, Monet began a series of paintings showing stacks of wheat and grain in the fields near his home in Giverney. He was interested in how these shapes caught the light, how they looked at different times of day, and how they looked at different times of year. This also meant the artist did have to paint in less than optimal conditions. In "Wheatstacks, Snow Effect, Morning," the artist ventured out on a cold, wintry morning to capture the look of these stacks against a wintry landscape. The color palette used here is remarkably limited. The sky and the ground below is nearly the same color: only a slight addition of white to the ground delineates the horizon. The trees normally visible in these paintings are reduced to minor upright shadows. Several outbuildings are nearly visible, with bright white roofs. Against this muted background, the two wheat stacks rise with deep color and amazing clarity. They are painted with shocking bright red, deep magenta and bright blue. They seem to glow when hit with the sun, and cast deep blue shadows behind them. "Wheatstacks, Snow Effect, Morning" is a bold painting, and remains a warm tone, even though it was painted in very cold conditions. Minimize

Fishing Boats: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduct ... Read more

Fishing Boats: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Claude Monet lived most of his life near the sea. The water is prominent in the vast majority of his paintings, peeking out on the horizon, swelling over rocks, or reflecting the images above. Monet also became interested in painting images of boats, both in and out of the water. Monet was fond of painting the same image repeatedly. He wrote, "I know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its way in that particular spot; and that is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even" (source: http://painting.about.com/library/biographies/blartistquotesmonet.htm). This painting of fishing boats depicts multiple boats on the shore. Each is painted with at least a small amount of black, a color the artist shunned early in his career. The boats themselves are painted in remarkable detail. The boat nearest the viewer even has a number visible. The sand is full of equipment: ropes, anchors, rags, pots and nets. The poles of the boats all point out to sea, drawing the viewer's eye in that direction. The tide appears to be coming in, and the sea is frothing with white waves breaking over green and blue water. Just a small sliver of the sky is visible in blue and green. This painting of fishing boats shows Monet stretching the boundaries of Impressionism, adding in detail and using new and bold colors.

Three Fishing Boats: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil rep ... Read more

Three Fishing Boats: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Claude Monet advised a young painter to begin his work in this way: "When you go out to paint try to forget what object you have before you - a tree, a house, a field or whatever. Merely think, here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact colour and shape, until it emerges as your own naive impression of the scene before you" (source: http://quote.robertgenn.com/auth_search.php?authid=299). Monet always began his paintings with color, rather than with line. Color drove everything the painter did. In "Three Fishing Boats," this obsession is made evident. The center of the painting is taken up with a bright triangle of yellow: the prow of a boat. This yellow is echoed in the boat on the right of the canvas. Both boats sport black and blue hulls, helping the yellow to truly pop from the canvas. The boat to the left also has a wonderfully colorful hull, made up of blue, black, purple, green and yellow. The dock appears, at first glance, to be tan, but close inspection reveals that Monet made this color up of tiny, individual strokes of pink, blue, yellow, orange, brown and red. The sea at the edge of the dock is painted quickly with swirls of green. "Three Fishing Boats" is wildly colorful, and beautifully executed. Minimize

Antibes in the Morning: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil ... Read more

Antibes in the Morning: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Claude Monet said, "What can be said about a man who is interested in nothing but his painting? It's a pity if a man can only interest himself in one thing. But I can't do any thing else. I have only one interest" (source: http://quote.robertgenn.com/auth_search.php?authid=299). Monet was always looking at landscapes and flowers with an eye to painting them. He often took long walks, looking for just the right spot to stop and paint. In "Antibes in the Morning," Monet has captured the moment when the sun is just breaking over the horizon. The tree tops are blazing in yellow, while the trunks and the roots remain in shadow. The trees are painted in true Impressionist style, with quick, heavy brush strokes in contrasting colors placed side by side to suggest shapes and outlines. The bottom of the image is taken up with the sea, painted in blue and green horizontal strokes. The city in the distance is painted all in white and yellow, and appears to shimmer on the horizon like a mirage. The yellow highlights on the buildings in the distance are picked up in the yellow of the tree, while the blue in the sky also reappears in the blue of the sea. "Antibes in the Morning" is a balanced Impressionist painting, with a restrained use of color and a strong technique used throughout. Minimize

The Studio Boat: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reprodu ... Read more

The Studio Boat: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Late in his painting career, Claude Monet became enchanted with capturing reflections of images in water. He would paint many images of object reflected in water, bent and refracted in the ripples. Many of Monet's paintings place the viewer directly in the center of the action: In the center of the water, looking directly at the image and its reflection. Monet was able to achieve these images with such precision because, when he painted them, he was actually on a boat himself. He purchased a small boat after he moved to Argentuil, and converted it into a small studio. He was so pleased with this that he painted the boat in 1874. "The Studio Boat" shows a small black hull, with a bright turquoise building rising above it. Two yellow poles dip into the water from the sides of the boat. This image is reflected in the water below. The poles revert to black squiggles in the water. Trees line the shore in the center of the image. They appear to bend and sway in the breeze. The leaves are painted in an autumnal palette of orange, brown and yellow. Monet himself is not visible in this image, but his affection for his cottage is evident in "The Studio Boat": the dwelling glows with warmth in the middle of the water. "The Studio Boat" provides a glimpse into the artist's technique, and his underlying feelings about his craft. Minimize

Two Anglers: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproductio ... Read more

Two Anglers: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Claude Monet worked to achieve symmetry in his paintings. Often, the images are split in half by the horizon or a line of trees. Images are reflected perfectly in shimmering water below. "Two Anglers" is a continuation of this theme. Here, two boats face one another on the river. In the top left, the boat is a bright turquoise blue. The boat is reflected in the water below, but the color is deepened to a green and yellow in the reflection. The angler's bright white fishing rod stretches across the river, nearly colliding with another rod of the same color. This leads the viewer's eye to the second boat, which sits in the lower right of the canvas. This boat is darkly painted in black, contrasting beautifully with the light blue of the boat above. The angler in this boat is wearing dark colors, also contrasting with the light colors of the angler above. The river between the boats holds reflections of trees or shrubs. Only the reflections are visible; the trees themselves are out of the frame. The viewer is standing on a hillside covered with bright green grass. The viewer is looking down upon the scene, but it is unclear what he or she is standing on. The viewer may be floating overhead. "Two Anglers" is a beautiful study of color and symmetry. Minimize

Impression Sunrise: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil repr ... Read more

Impression Sunrise: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. "Impression Sunrise," by Claude Monet is the painting that started it all. Monet painted this image in 1872, and it hung in an exhibition in Paris in 1874. Monet's use of color, of bright brush strokes, of contrasting colors placed side-by-side was a revolution. No one had done anything quite like that before, and people weren't quite sure what to make of it. The French critic was moved to write the following when he saw the painting in the exhibition: "Impression I was certain of it. I was just telling myself that, since I was impressed, there had to be some impression in it — and what freedom, what ease of workmanship! A preliminary drawing for a wallpaper pattern is more finished than this seascape" (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Leroy). The Impressionists would take this term as a name for their movement. In "Impression Sunrise," two small boats are seen on a quickly painted sea. A few bright strokes in green, running horizontally across the image, provide a suggestion of current. In the distance, a tangle of ships and smokestacks are visible in blue paint, but they are very obscured and hard to make out. Directly in the center of the image is a brilliant, orange sun, leaving a streak of orange reflected in the water, reaching down to the viewer. The sky holds a similar orange, painted quickly left to right. "Impression Sunrise" marked the beginning of a whole new way of thinking about printing: that color was more important than line, that emotion was more important than realism. The painting world would never be the same. Minimize

A Farmyard In Normandy: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil ... Read more

A Farmyard In Normandy: Claude Monet: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Impressionist painters loved to work outdoors, in the sun-filled landscape. They were "A Farmyard in Normandy" was painted near the beginning of Claude Monet's career as an artist. Monet had not yet begun to paint in his characteristic Impressionist style of deep, contrasting brush strokes placed close together. Here, we see Monet painting in a more realistic, documentary style. A bright, light sky covers the top of the image. The center is taken up by barns and outbuildings. The run appears to be coming from the right of the image, as the front of the buildings seem to be in bright light, their roofs casing shadows downward. Trees march from the buildings to the edge of the canvas on the right, painted realistically with gnarled trunks and branches. The center of the painting shows Monet's love of water reflections. And edge of the barn, and the trunks of the trees are shown here. This is a technique the artist would perfect in his series of paintings of Water Lilies. The scene comes alive with animals, including cows, chickens and ducks, and two small human figures. "A Farmyard in Normandy" shows the artist just beginning, learning to experiment and stretch his wings. However, it stands alone as a beautiful painting of life on a farm in the 1800s. Minimize
