Japanese Bridge - Claude Monet

E n chapter Cultural Exchange , belonging to the first season of the show, Bart takes a trip to France as part of an exchange student. Arriving in France Bart is collected at the airport by Huguolin, and both mounted on a motorcycle targeted to the Chateau Maison , where Bart will stay while.

E n the road pass through several paintings representing the French landscape painting depicts the first the " Japanese Bridge " impressionist painter i sta Claude-Oscar Monet .

I The MPRINT - the already discussed on two previous post about Joseph Turner r- is play " impressions of color and lighting received from nature, outdoors.

Claude-Oscar Monet, is recognized in this regard as the father of Impressionism although at the time his first Impressionist works were criticized as "botched" and would not even contemplate his paintings as works "well finished" .

When Monet was 43, in April 1883 purchase a house and garden in Giverny - a French town and commune located in the Upper Normandy region, today a tourist and pilgrimage site for young artists.

Already installed in Giverny " was devoted to design the garden with extreme passion, which became his permanent source of inspiration during the last decades of his life " , even requested permission to divert a tributary of the River Epte to create your lily pond

Both the vegetation of the margins of water floating plants " were carefully chosen by Monet in cool shades and nuanced ."

Monet was a great lover of culture and Japanese art. and was built in 1893 a Japanese Bridge , on lily pond, and that soon a dense tangled wisteria plant.

The Japanese Bridge , became one of his favorite inspirations, being translating into different versions - for forty years, during which Monet was going blind, either of these variables traders have been given names like " Water Lily Pond " (the water lily is an aquatic plant) and " Pond Nymphs" a clear mistake in interpreting the word "lily." Or call "Pond Lily Lake."

Guillermo Solana, artistic director of Thyssen recalled that when the master died in in December 1926 , "His painting had gone out of fashion." Monet became qualified in the interwar period as "an artist and even soft kitsch ( tasteless bone ).

The rediscovery of Monet does not occur until mid-twentieth century, when young artists began triumphant American abstract expressionism to look at his works with a new look. The materiality of his paintings, his art "all-over", his loose brushstrokes and blurred shapes were a revelation both for the younger generation of American abstract to the followers of the Informal European.

"

Warhol , dedicated many works to Marilyn Monroe, but not thinking of her as a sex symbol, but as part of a series on death.

"Marilyn Diptych" is the first book on Marilyn, and is, above all, to express the passage from life to death with the same image. On the left, Marilyn appears beautiful and sensual and on the right, the absence color, the presence of black and fading of the image advertised his disappearance.
