ART 001B Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Impressionism, Nicolaes Tulp
Document Summary
Monet, boulevard des capucines, 1983 (oil on canvas) Unlike what we say with manet, there"s no specific figure in the foreground. Monet - flaneur focusing on landscape/countryside/urban landscape. Lots of painting outside instead of inside. Light reflected on water - most prominent element. Compare to - pierre-auguste renoir la grenouill re, 1869. They made these at the same time - they"re showing and proving that the same reality can be perceived differently. These differences depend on physical conditions too. Monet - more distant point of view. Work done outside to capture the moment - that"s why there"s no sketches. Quite a different approach to other traditions. Used only paint/color - does not mix but layers and places color side by side. Works on our perception/forces us to use mind. Monet, impression, sunrise to see full impression. Monet, impression, sunrise, 1872 (oil on canvas) No renaissance priority of hiding brush strokes.
