Art Movement



Impressionism

This piece of impressionism art movement was created by Mary Cassatt titled Lydia Leaning on Her Arms ( in a theatre box ) in 1879. An impressionism art movement is defined as an art by concentrating on the immediate visual impression produced by a scene and by the use of unmixed primary colors and small strokes to simulate actual reflected light. It mainly demonstrates the technique artists use to paint by short and broken brush strokes that barely convey forms, pure unblended colors, and an emphasis on the effects of light. From the pictures selected, it has inspired me to look deep into the details of the painting. The painting was painted in such that the brush strokes were from top right to lower left shows of how this painting has a certain demure characteristics to it. The art was soft yet very classy. It portrayed a women of beauty and elegance without having her to define her as the ultimate beauty because the painting itself is the great beauty.  




Surrealism


The art work that I have chosen was randomly picked from Google pictures. I have not managed to find the talented artist that painted this painting but I believe this particular painting has an amazing story behind it. Surrealism basically defines the attempt to express the workings of the subconscious and is characterized by fantastic imagery and incongruous juxtaposition of subject matter. As the picture selected, it definitely portrays another life’s fantasy of life and peacefulness. The woman of which represents softness in the pictures, shows of how the artist believes the woman to be a protector to the world and how she is strong to have to let go of her man to sea. With all the time she has without him, her home is at her best care to welcome her man when he comes back. In the painting shows her gracefulness in which gives a vibe of strength to be independent before her man comes home. It may not be the exact story for this painting, but from the beauty I believe it to portray, that story I see is a wonderful fantasy of love and strength.
