Renoir’s Jeune fille and the Triumph of Impressionism Sothebys 201K subscribers Subscribe 4.6K views 1 year ago In this video, join Thomas Boyd-Bowman in an exploration of Pierre-Auguste. This biography does full justice to this most remarkable and profoundly influential of artists, and offers numerous reproductions and archive photos alongside a detailed and insightful commentary. Whether it’s his stunning Water Lilies series, or genre-defining Impression, Sunrise, discover what made Monet the master of French 19th-century art in this exuberant exploration of his life and work. The high point of his explorations were the late series of water lilies, painted in his own garden at Giverny, that, in their moves towards almost total formlessness, are really the origin of abstract art. New Monet: The Triumph of Impressionism 54.00 Members Claude Monet’s Impressionist technique still inspires to this day. It could be said that Monet reinvented the possibilities of color, and whether it was through his early interest in Japanese prints, his time in the dazzling light of Algeria as a conscript, or his personal acquaintance with the major painters of the late 1800s, what Monet produced throughout his long life would change forever the way we perceive both the natural world and its attendant phenomena. Of all the Impressionists, it was the man Cézanne called “only an eye, but my God what an eye!” who stayed completely true to the principle of absolute fidelity to the visual sensation, painting directly from the object. Along with Turner, no artist has sought more than Claude Monet (1840–1926) to capture light itself on canvas.

Because: I want to recommend all the great YA I love and think most anyone dipping an eyeball into the waters of YA reading would love as well.īut in the interest of space and time (and Kelly’s patient waiting for me to Finish This Up), I finally decided on a list of some of my favorites, most lesser known but some iconic, that I feel push at the boundaries of the kind of story the authors are telling or of people’s assumptions about what YA is or should be.
