-ART- Fauvism, Henri Matisse

Fauvism means that ,as the color is too rough, it looks like wild animal.

Henri Matisse is famous for the Fauvism.

At that time, Picasso said matisse bear the sun.

We would know why he said like that if we see Matisse's pictures.

The use of color is so bold  isn't it?

Overall, the red and green are used.

these colors complement each other, futhermore these are primary colors.

but, surprisingly, the painting's harmony is so good.

this painting is same.

Although many colors are used, the harmony  is so nice~

Why he use the color boldly??

Matisse is affected by the Cezanne (Cezanne affect modern art such as Fauvism and Cuvism)

and he wnats to free from the impressionist.

so he deconstruct the form and he pour his passion to the color.

he express through the vivid and strong color.

and more he makes the form simple to send effectively the color image.

These are series named Blue nude.

Blue nude are made by colored paper.

the form is so simple and just one color.

As he had a serious disease, it can't help him doing the art through the colored paper.

This is last but important to me because of the meaning in this picture.

The title is Polynesia sea.

The picture doesn't describe the original sea.

but he put the real host of sea.

moreover, he put the big bird in the middle of picture.

I think it reflects a view of harmony nature.

I love the harmony and it makes me love his paintings

-ART- the Post impressionist Cezanne

Have you ever heard about the famous 3 apples?

First is the apple of Adam and Eve

the second is Newton's apple

Last is the Cezanne's apple

Why the Cezanne's apple is important?

This is the topic of posting!

Cezanne is called the father of modern art.

He started art as a the post impressionist.

So he didn't get along with contemporary painters.

The big difference of impressionism and post impressionism is the limitness of objet.

Cezanne is over the objet and tries to add the essence.

Look at the picture.

Apples don't look like real apples and aren't delicious.

But his apples contain the essence.

look the right picture. see the arrow?!

the arrows are not fixed.

It's reason why he want to express the essence

 so he tries to find the perspective that reveal each apple

nevertheless, his paint is well harmonized.

And he ignore the perspective so he is cricticized by contemporary artist.

In this situation, he dosen't give up his way and he strongly says he conquer the paris through the apple

and it's come true.

Moreover he wants to express the essence throught the color and form.

So he had studied that and it affects Fauvism from color and Cubism from form.

He is quite important artist and..

I want to learn his WILL.

-ART-the Post Impressionist Paul Gauguin

Maybe most people read the book 'The moon and sixpence'

The main character of this novel is reflected to Paul Gauguin.

He is described as the artist who pursue the moon-ideal

Therefore, his life don't go smoothly.

Originally his job was a employee of stock market. then that time he affected by his supporter

So he decide to be an artist professionally. First he get along with impressionist.

but he disagree the thought of impressionist.

he want to express the internal mind and imagine things in painting not the reproduct

and this thought affect to 20c art.

also he emphasizes on strong color, thick line and simple form.

this picture has the features.

But his life in paris was so poor and hard.

and more he hate the civilization

so he leave civiliazation and decide to go primitve land, Tahiti.

In Tahiti, he paints a lot and satisfied his life

but his picture isn't sold in paris

because of this his life is so poor, also he got sick.

finally he have a plan to make a masterpiece

"Where do we come from What are we Where are we going"

In this picture, he pours out his philosophy.

Birth and death 

 during this time, what we are how we are.

this picture makes us consider our life.
