On Tuesday we started with post-impressionism and two different styles used. One form of impressionism was a form that Paul Cezanne and Georges-Pierre Seurat influenced. The other form was personal expression influenced by Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin. The use of form was the composition and configuration of people and landscapes. In many of Seurat and Cezannes’s art, they used horizontal lines and rigid themes. In the works that we dissected we noticed the cool colors being placed in the background and warm colors in the front of the paintings, we noticed that there was a major difference between the artists that used personal expression. Van Gogh and Gauguin used many different colors to express their emotions in the paintings. In their paintings, we can see more Japanese influence and impressionism in their artworks. We also elaborate on how color was used to convey emotions and was studied and explained by Michel Cheurel. In this class, we were able to see more arbitrary art and flat work by Gauguin and his disdain for humans.
