Monet and Van Gogh's paintings. The story of Monet and Van Gogh.

1, Monet's and Van Gogh's paintings are all impressionist paintings, and the use and expression of colors are very delicate. Their paintings can express strength, space, contrast and movement through colors and tones. Everyone loves to take natural scenery as the theme of painting, and the artistic conception in painting can better reflect the painter's real life and interest.

2. The difference between Monet's painting and Van Gogh's painting lies in:

Monet is good at the experiment and expression of light and shadow. His most important style is to change the way shadows and outlines are drawn. He can't see very clear shadows in his paintings, nor can he see prominent or flat outlines. The color depiction of light and shadow is the biggest feature of Monet's paintings. He used many paintings with the same theme to experiment with the perfect expression of color and light.

Van Gogh's paintings contrast the lightness and purity of colors very sharply, which can produce bright and lively decorative beauty. The colors in his paintings are bold and exaggerated, pursuing a wild shape. He used a thick brush stroke with certain strength and intensity, and used a straightforward and simple expression.

The images in Van Gogh's paintings all have a very distinct personality in modeling, strong wildness and extensiveness, as if the painter acted at will under the control of passion.

Monet likes painting constrained nature very much-his garden, water lilies, ponds and bridges. He also painted the banks of the Seine. From 1883 to 1908, Monet painted many landscapes and seascapes in the Mediterranean.

Monet's representative works include The Estuary of Seine River in Onfeller, Impression of Sunrise, Saint-Germain Otroy Church, Madame Green-Kame, Saint-Rachael Railway Station, Water Lily, Wild Poppy and so on.

Van Gogh, on the other hand, loved portrait painting, painting 35 self-portraits and 1 1 sunflower in his life. Representative works include Potato Eater, Harvest Scene, Starry Moon Night, Sunflower, Night Cafe and Cypress? Wait a minute. He has 864 oil paintings, 1037 sketches and 150 watercolors in his life. His watercolors are outstanding and equal to oil paintings.

4. Monet's story:

Claude monet (claude monet,1840165438+10/4-192665438+February 5) is a French painter, known as "the leader of impressionism", a representative figure of impressionism and.

Monet's father, Kuludo Adolov Monet, is a businessman. He runs a musical instrument shop in the northern French port of Afreh in partnership with his brother-in-law. Monet came to his father when he was five years old. The child's only hobby is painting. He often sketches in notebooks and draws cartoons for teachers and classmates. Over time, he mastered some painting skills.

However, he did not follow the usual path of a painter, but started by drawing cartoons, and gained some fame in drawing cartoons, which attracted the attention of eugene boudin (1824- 1898). Budan once said to Monet, "Anything painted on the spot always has a kind of strength, realism and vivid brushwork that can't be obtained in the studio in the future."

Monet did what Budan said in his later painting career, because his heart was full of love for nature.

Monet joined Charles Grey Ray's studio in Paris on 1862. There, he met Pierre Auguste Renoir, Frederick Basil and alfred sisley.

Together, they created a new artistic technique, which was later called Impressionism, that is, painting with strong oil paints outdoors and in natural light.

Monet is one of the founders of Impressionism and the most influential figure in Impressionism. Among the representative impressionist painters, only Monet devoted his creative enthusiasm to impressionist techniques with a long life of 86 years. Other impressionist painters are short-term explorers.

5. The story of Van Gogh:

Van Gogh's full name is Vincent Van Gogh (1March 30th, 853-1July 29th, 890), a Dutch post-impressionist painter.

Van Gogh was born in a Protestant pastor's family in the Dutch village of Dherdt on March 30th, 853. In his early years, he worked as a shop assistant, business agent and missionary in a mining area. Finally, he devoted himself to painting. His early painting style was realistic, influenced by Dutch traditional painting and French realistic painting school.

Van Gogh 1886 came to Paris, met impressionist and neo-impressionist painters, and got in touch with Japanese ukiyo-e paintings. The expansion of his vision has greatly changed his painting style, and his paintings began to change from dull and dull in the early days to concise, bright and strong colors. 1888, he came to arles, a small town in the south of France. He has got rid of the influence of Impressionism and neo-impressionism and moved to the opposite position.

Van Gogh interacted with Gauguin in 1888, but the cooperation soon failed because of the conflict of their personalities and the difference of their ideas. Since then, Van Gogh's madness (some people recorded it as "epilepsy") often broke out, but he still insisted on painting when he was conscious. 1890 In July, at the age of 37, he shot himself insanely.

Extended data:

1, Monet is one of the most important painters in France, and most of the theories and practices of Impressionism are promoted by him. Monet is good at the experiment and expression of light and shadow. His most important style is to change the way he draws shadows and outlines. In Monet's paintings, there are no very clear shadows, no prominent or flat outlines.

In addition, Monet's use of color is quite delicate. He used many paintings with the same theme to experiment with the perfect expression of color and light. Monet has been exploring the performance effect of light color and air for a long time, often depicting the same object under different time and light, and expressing the instantaneous feeling from the change of natural light color.

Impressionist movement can be regarded as the peak of naturalism tendency in19th century and the starting point of modern art. claude monet's name is closely related to the history of impressionism.

Monet contributed more to the formation of this artistic environment and his new way of depicting reality than anyone else. There is no doubt about it. Although the founder of Impressionism was Manet, it was Monet who really carried it forward, because his description of the changes of light and shadow in the landscape has reached a superb level.

2. Van Gogh is a colorist, and his preference for color has almost reached a crazy state. Although this is related to his mental illness, it cannot be denied that Van Gogh's creative discovery and expression of color. The colors in his paintings are bold and exaggerated, which also deeply influenced expressionism and fauvism painting in the 20th century.

Specifically, the unrestrained colors in Van Gogh's paintings are mainly manifested in the following three aspects:

First, decorate with bright and exaggerated colors. Influenced by the new impressionist painters pissarro and Seurat, Van Gogh abandoned the deep and heavy colors in the early stage of painting and began to use some high-definition, high-purity and high-brightness colors to create a color decoration effect with modern fashion, and his oil paintings became brighter and brighter.

Of all the high-purity and high-brightness colors, Van Gogh likes yellow best. Pure yellow has another meaning, that is, it symbolizes the sun and the earth, representing light and hope. Driven by yellow, the contrast between the brightness and purity of Van Gogh's paintings is very sharp, resulting in a bright and lively decorative beauty.

For example, Van Gogh's Sunflower focuses on a large area of yellow, with khaki, lemon yellow and medium yellow, which gives the audience a colorful and dazzling visual experience and also shows Van Gogh's longing for a better life.

Second, decorate with the contrast of large color blocks. In decorative colors, juxtaposition and contrast of large color blocks are very important expressions. Although this technique of expression was put forward long before Van Gogh, it is most vividly expressed in Van Gogh's paintings.

The contrasting colors in Van Gogh's paintings are often large and flat, which not only simplifies the generalization, but also increases the heaviness of the picture, and can also produce harmonious visual effects with the help of the contrast of color blocks.

For example, the cafe at night-the outdoor scenery, is decorated with large pieces of contrasting color. The yellow and orange lights contrast with the dark blue night sky, giving the picture a sense of depth and vividly depicting people's nightlife.

Third, use absolute black and white buffer. In the process of painting, Van Gogh not only pursues bright and cheerful colors and contrast of color blocks, but also often uses black and white to buffer and coordinate colors, often appearing in the same scene with contrast colors.

Take the sower as an example, the picture is divided into two parts, the upper part is bright yellow and the lower part is bright purple. The contrast between the two colors is very strong, and the transition is relatively direct, which will stimulate the eyes of the audience. Van Gogh painted the sower's trousers white in the picture, creating a partition between yellow and purple, and the audience's eyes were rested for a moment.
