1. Sunrise Impression

This famous painting was sketched by Monet 1872 in Afreh Harbor. He also painted a sunset in the same place. When he sent it to the first impressionist exhibition, neither painting had a title. A reporter satirized Monet's paintings as "a denial of beauty and truth, which can only give people an impression". Monet then gave the painting a name-Sunrise Impression. As a sketch painting of seascape, the whole picture is shrouded in a thin gray tone, and the brushwork is very random and messy, showing a scene of fog blending. At sunrise, there is fog on the sea, and the colors of the sky and the sun are reflected in the water. The scenery on the shore is very vague and can't be seen clearly, giving people an instant feeling.

1884 When Monet and a group of young painters held an exhibition, Impression of Sunrise was vilified and ridiculed. Some critics sarcastically said: "The blank wallpaper is also more complete than this seascape!" According to the title of this painting, some people even allegorized that the young artist headed by Monet was "Impressionist", so "Impressionism" became the laurel of this painting school.

This painting was robbed before 1985, and was seized in a villa in Corsica on February 6th according to the French Stolen Art Inspection Office1990 65438+.

2. Haystack

Haystacks entered the 1990s, and Monet created several groups of works, namely "group paintings". The so-called "group painting" refers to many paintings made by artists in the same position, facing the same object, at different times and under different illumination. This is probably a feature of Monet's later works. For example, during the period of 1890-9 1, for the same haystack, the painter painted different colors of the object in the sunshine in different seasons in the morning, middle and evening, as many as 15 times.

Argent Teyi Bridge is hidden in Orsay Museum.

This painting is a sunny landscape painting. Various cold and warm color dots and chaotic small strokes are carefully combined into a picture, which makes the picture sunny, sunny and full of colorful melodies. Strong light is scattered to trees, rivers and bridges, and everything is wrapped in light, making the Argenteuil Bridge a masterpiece of light. This is also the expression of the artist's artistic personality.

1. The real picture depicted by Monet's Bridge in Japan. It's called Japan Bridge.

The bridge is required to be wide enough to allow small tractors and trailers to pass through. The design imitates the design of Exbury Manor near Lord Rothschild's home in Southampton. The building is decorated with finished English oak and metal. Although it is basically hidden, it can be seen that it is stainless steel. The bridge deck consists of thick plywood alternately, which helps tractors and pedestrians to grasp the bridge deck when passing through the arch bridge.

4. Rouen Cathedral

Rouen Cathedral, the door seen from the front, Brown Harmony 1892 claude monet Oil Painting 107×73 cm Ossetian Museum 1907 purchased from the painter.

The painting "Brown Harmony" was obviously painted in one afternoon. At that time, the weather was cold, the atmosphere was gloomy and the light was dark and dreary. I saw the cathedral standing under the gray sky, and the picture was ochre. The big gray clock is carefully painted with a little blue and dark gray pigment around it, but the central part is yellowish brown. The three doors in the center are like three dark caves; The dark color of the wooden door can still be seen from the picture today. In this deep and dark harmony dominated by gray, we can still see the symbols of light staying on various sculptures, because these sculptures are painted with a small amount of active colors. Behind the steeple of the central gate, the rosettes on the stained glass windows are clearly visible in the dark blue. Monet's concern is precisely this; In short, it is not the building itself, but the "tragicomedy" of light interpretation. Gustave Gerfrua, a writer and art critic, praised Monet's more than 20 paintings about churches for "depicting the eternal beauty of life at any time when the light changes".

1892, after settling down in Civil (his last residence before his death), claude monet went to Rouen to handle a family affair. This ancient city has been industrialized, and the port is thriving. Here, the painter captured one of the most beautiful scenes he had ever seen in his painting career-Rouen Cathedral. This cathedral is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the mother of Christ, and is the most magnificent Gothic building in France. The construction of the church began in the12nd century and was rebuilt in the13rd century due to fire. It was not until the 6th century/kloc that it was built in this way.

Gothic architecture has long been neglected and considered too vulgar; By the end of 18, it was rediscovered and repaired after analysis and demonstration; Finally, it was officially confirmed by the French Museum of Ancient Buildings, which was established in 179 1 Paris. By the 1930s, poets and novelists in The Romantic Period had found the shadow of the golden age. Advocating the rediscovery of pure and fresh medieval art. 1837, the Committee of Ancient Buildings undertook the responsibility of repairing and restoring ancient buildings, and this upsurge reached its peak with the rescue operation initiated by Eugè ne-Emmanuel violette, a famous architect in the 9th century. His action was supported and encouraged by the writer Prosper Merimee, who was then the chief inspector of ancient buildings.

Before that, there were other romantic painters in Britain, such as Bonington and Turner, Paul Huey and Connor, who took Rouen Cathedral as their painting theme. Painters before Impressionism, such as Pudding and Jongkind, and later Camille pissarro, still have a traditional impression of this painting, that is, the towering and unique church figure clearly appears in the surrounding scenery.

1892 and 1893 from February to mid-April, Monet painted more than 30 oil paintings for this church in two major operations. He drew the picture from three different angles. The first place is almost opposite the church, which is a shirt shop. The workers in the shop come and go, making him unable to work; Then he settled down in the fitting room on the second floor of a fashion shop; Because of customers' endless complaints, the painter had to screen himself off from the outside world. 1893, he chose the third place; This time, he often paints from two different angles at the same time, and at most he paints 14 at the same time. With the change of light and time, he kept running between pictures, trying to capture the changes of tone and light and shade and establish the framework of its color. Monet's exploration, doubt, confusion and disappointment in these two major actions are fully revealed in his letter to his wife Alice. The letter wrote: "Every day, I will have some new discoveries that I didn't see the day before; So I quickly make up for it, but at the same time I will lose something. In this way, I am doing something that ordinary people can't do ... I am exhausted and almost collapsed. One night, I had one nightmare after another; I dreamed that the church fell on me somehow; Its color seems to have turned blue, but it soon turned rose and finally turned yellow. " Previously, painters had painted a lot of paintings from different perspectives at different times of the day under different light: Haystack and Poplar, which were created at 189 1, were the works of this period. Monet, who has a special liking for colorful and broad vision, is now facing this huge stone building for the first time. At first glance, it is almost a single color. Looking from the window of his home less than 50 meters away from the Gothic church, the painter only saw the central gate of the church, with St. Romata on the left and Baltar on the right. The styles and styles of the two are completely different. Tower, central gate, triangular lintel, arch curve, small arcade, pointed arch rib, triangular lintel of gate and finely carved corridor, sometimes submerged in surplus light and sometimes in shadow; Sometimes, the changing atmosphere in the Normandy sky caused subtle and indescribable tone changes. Monet's concern is precisely this; In short, it is not the building itself, but the "tragicomedy" of light interpretation.

The painting "Brown Harmony" was obviously painted in one afternoon. At that time, the weather was cold, the atmosphere was gloomy and the light was dark and dreary. I saw the cathedral standing under the gray sky, and the picture was ochre. The big gray clock is carefully painted with a little blue and dark gray pigment around it, but the central part is yellowish brown. The three doors in the center are like three dark caves; The dark color of the wooden door can still be seen from the picture today. In this deep and dark harmony dominated by gray, we can still see the symbols of light staying on various sculptures, because these sculptures are painted with a small amount of active colors. Behind the steeple of the central gate, the rosettes on the stained glass windows are clearly visible in the dark blue.

On the contrary, the painting "Rouen Cathedral" was painted by Monet at sunset in the evening and kept as a museum in Malmo. This painting, which is still in a sketching state, can't be seen from the side. The yellow and light rose have been lost with the huge blue shadow invading its basic part. At the top of the middle triangle lintel, the sun shadow is very clear; Coral red strokes are zigzag at the door frame, which is used to highlight the bright red and orange of each gap and make the whole building shine. Sculptures around the world are basically difficult to see because they are light blue. This color is used for pointed arch ribs, small minarets and promenades that are higher than lavender flowers ... The flickering sunlight and various refracted light seem to make the building form and dissolve it ... Except for the top of the main entrance, the paint is used lightly. In order to restore the vitality of light, Monet invented a very specific "rough and sticky" brushwork. His painting of the cathedral was completed in the civil engineering studio.

"The huge figure of Rouen Cathedral stands on the earth, but at the same time it seems to disappear and' transpiration' in the light blue mist in the morning; The details of every sculpture, the winding decorations, gaps and protrusions, will become very clear during the day; The dark doorway is like a' trough' in the ocean. The stones on the wall are obviously marked by the passage of time, and now they turn golden yellow and turquoise against the background of sunshine, moss and lichen. The bottom of the building is surrounded by shadows, and the top is dyed rose by the fading sunset; This is a swan song about the space occupied by the ancient church, and this teaching itself is the product of the accidental encounter and interaction between natural forces and human creation. " Gustav Gerfrua, a writer and art critic, published an article about lonely and anxious Monet after enjoying more than 20 paintings about churches. The painter showed these paintings to his friend, the most powerful supporter of Impressionism and art dealer Paul Du Lang Lewers at his home. He praised these paintings for "painting the eternal beauty of life whenever the light changes." Camille pissarro was impressed by his friend's innovative masterpiece, but the young painter was not very keen on it.

The most pertinent and profound comment on Monet's works is his old friend and politician George Kerry Duhamel Du Monceau. The latter wrote in an article entitled "Church Revolution": "Dark objects themselves gain life because of sunlight and gain the ability to impress people's senses. However, this kind of light wave that surrounds the surface of an object, goes deep into its interior and is reflected to the outer space is always in a chaotic state: sometimes it is like a towering wave, sometimes it is like a calm splash, and sometimes it is like a rainstorm. It is precisely because of this kind of wild and unruly' living' particles that objects can appear. It is precisely because of this kind of wild and unruly that we can see objects, and it is precisely because of this that objects can show their existence. So what a thing looks like under the illumination of light, this is what we must figure out now, and what the painter wants to clarify is to resolve and reorganize through the painter's hand. " He painted the same scene again and again, such as his series of haystacks and churches. During the Franco-Prussian War, he took refuge in the Netherlands and studied Japanese ukiyo-e prints, which caused a change in painting style. Later, he produced a huge long scroll "Water Lily", which became the greatest masterpiece of impressionism landscape painting.

Monet's series of paintings about Rouen Cathedral were an immediate success. Fran? ois Bird, a collector who gave him great encouragement, bought a painting from him and donated it to Rouen Museum with other collections. In Paris, although the country ignored Kerry Duhamel Du Monceau's strong suggestion that the country should buy all these paintings, as an art protector, Count Isaac de Camondo bought four of them directly from the artists on 1894 and generously gave them to the national collection, so that we were lucky enough to have a quick look at them in the Ossetian Museum in Paris today.

This is the work of the painter 1908, and it is one of his famous water lily series. Sotheby's valuation is100,000 to150,000 USD. Sotheby's successfully auctioned another water lily by Monet a year ago.

6. Woman with an umbrella

This painting is Monet's early impressionist painting. In the middle of the photo, on the right stands a woman with a parasol, and on the far left is her son. It was a sunny morning, and two mothers and children were walking on the grass.

The whole painting only uses simple natural colors such as blue, green and brown, giving people a quiet and comfortable feeling. The female officials in the painting occupy most of the space in the picture and become the interesting center of the painting. And the younger son on the left also forms a triangle with the parasol and the young lady, which achieves a balanced effect. A woman with an umbrella.

Although this painting is Monet's early work, it can also be seen that he captures the light and shadow and instant impression in the painting well. The woman's face and upper body in the painting are dark, indicating that she is in the shadow of a parasol. The shadow area of the whole parasol, face, dress and grass is in contrast with the light color of the lady's dress (as is the younger son), just as it is seen in reality. In addition, the swaying headscarf and the wrinkles on the long skirt also enhance the movement of the picture. ...
