Document Summary
Claude monet"s on the banks of the seine ( the river ) uses different hues of green in patches, as opposed to blending them. Monet"s landscape attacks the typical convention of the receding panoramic landscape that is exemplified in the paintings of lorraine. The figure maintains the geometric simplicity used in the houses and background. The piece is both a landscape and an abstract series of patterns based on dabs of colors. Monet studies how light falls on surfaces through his use of colors. Central to the artist"s studies were the behavior and use of light and color. The depicted objects are simplified into geometric shapes. Capturing the light and color via an impression of a sight is the basis for. Renoir"s monet painting in his garden at argenteuil shows monet painting in his garden. The impressionists often painted outside (at the time paint began to be produced in tubes and was more accessible).
