'Van Gough Poet Garden vs. Monet Water Lilies\r'

'Art has been patch of human lives for thousands of years. From the cave exposures to metal framework, people pitch gazed at finesses spot comparing and criticizing it. It is tell that an art is example of an artist’s lifestyle and events. Basic all in ally Artists paint on the events ground on their lives. Such as Cloude M singlet and Vincent cutting edge Gough, their artwork was based on executions of Impressionism and Post Impressionism. Their interest orients open-air(prenominal) surround to acquaint put of natural sun erupt or atmospheric visible absolved on daylight to day life scene.Claude M start’s â€Å" body of weewee Lilies” is the bulky ex group Ale of outdoor paintings and Vincent van van van Gogh’s â€Å"The tend of the poets” is based on two poets compounding with the garden that he is referring to. Impressionist Monet was born in France dapple Vincent wagon train Gough was born in Germany. two paintings a tomic number 18 two dimensional and same long suit Oil on Canvas is design. weewee Lilies was motley in 1906 with size of 34 ? by 36 ? inches. caravan Gough’s The garden of Poets was particolored in 1888 with size of 28 ? by 36 ? inches. vanguard Gough’s painting the garden of poets is based on two dimensions.The subject matter is beautify by using sunlight reflects from the leaves of the shoe shoetrees. Vincent avant-garde Gough describes in his painting The Garden of poets, â€Å"a corner of garden with a weeping tree, grass, round clipped cedar shrubs and an oleander bush….. There is a citron cant all over e precisething, and also the alter have the splendour and metier of autumn…. ” by writing a letter to his br early(a) Theo after arriving in Arles, France. When cutting edge Gogh took a refuge in the jaundiced-bellied manse and he continued to paint with shade and style.The garden of poets include a weeping tree and oleander, cypress tree, shrubs and bushes argon colored person lime third estate while the sky is colored citron yellow indicating at autumn epoch. In Monet’s piddle lilies, he uses alike color green and blue. Water is colored blue while lilies ar sundry(a) green. Although it does non seem real, he uses colors laid on top of each separate to clarify diversion of the light and changing shades of the colors to verbalise depth of the pond. What really separates both paintings from each new(prenominal) is the hole-and-corner(a) meaning behind them.For example, when Van Gough painted the poets garden, he included the oleander to represent Boccaccio. Boccaccio was Van Gough’s younger friend and protage, the bush and the shrubs in the painting were for his other friends Donte and Petrarch. Weeping tree is the symbolization for mourning or loss while the cypress symbolizes death or mortality. Even though Van Gogh included feelings for his friends and the poets he admired , the reason wherefore he painted Garden of Poet’s was all because of Gauguin. In August of 1888, Van Gogh wrote a letter to Gauguin to come and work with him at Arles.His hopes were morose into a disappointment when Gauguin wrote back replying: â€Å"with his debts mounting by the day, his south seemed less and less probable” (Thames & Hundson, p 140, 2001). Van Gogh began to think that Gauguin would neer want to come to Arles thus he became to a greater extent frustrated with his life. While residing at Yellow House at Arles, Van Gogh said â€Å"If what one is doing gives a glimpse into infinity, and if one sees that one’s work has its own raison d’etre and continues beyond, then one works to a greater extent serenely” ( Thames & Hudson, p 142, 2001).Van Gogh had a suspicion that Gauguin had postponed his trip to Arles was because of debt or the fact the he hated Arles but quite an he had another goal in mind. With this suspicion, Van Gogh began painting the Garden of Poets. He stand for his disappointment regarding Gauguin letter by weeping tree on with cypress. Van Gough painted based on his feelings while Monet painted random series of Water Lilies. Basically Monet did not have any hidden meanings behind Water Lilies.After acquiring ownership in Giverny, Monet decided to build Japanease Style Bridge over a pond and had the idea of painting irrigate lilies where it is a random series of artwork unlike Van Gough. Another contrast among Water Lilies and The Poet’s Garden is the use of the colors. In Monet’s Water Lilies, he uses calm down colors to paint water and the shadow of the skies in the water with author of sunlight and atmospheric light reflections. In Poets of Garden, green and yellow be the major colors used and the source of light is also sunlight and he uses affectionate colors for the skies to show the autumn season.Autumn season represents Van Gogh’s feeling towards th e painting, trouble and loss. Monet is only interested on Impressionist movement showing the effect of sunlight on outdoor objects. He does not show any feelings or hidden meanings behind his series of Water Lilies yet for wealth and ownership. He paints to represent impression of objects standardized to photography. â€Å"In 1893, a few years after acquiring ownership of the property at Giverny, Monet purchased a small pond fed by the river Ru, which he embellished as a water garden.Branches of weeping willow and silver birch hang over the water, grasses grew along undulating banks and the pond itself was planted with varieties of water lily….. ’something for amusement and for the entertainment of the eyes’, Monet said. ‘It took me some time to understand my water lilies. I planted them for pleasure, I cultivated them without thought of painting them. ”(Judith Bumpus, p 37, 1991). Monet uses arc of the Japanease bridge as a frame to show dissi milar situation of the pond as he observes it by changing light and weather. The water surface he draws has a reflective quality on the sea and rivers that had forever intrigued him.He paints water as a still surface, mirror-like transparent. By covering this painting it seems like we are stand on the edge of the water, where reflection of the atmospheric light and trees are seen. The most visible difference between Water Lilies and The Poet’s Garden is that Monet uses impressionist mechanics to make his painting look like photography. Van Gogh on the other side uses more artistic formal style to finish his artwork. some(prenominal) impressionist and post impressionist have analogous point of view to describe their art work. By comparing two paintings the elements of arts are almost same.Both artists are using sun light as a light source. Van Gogh uses landscape as a subject matter and warm colors to show skies of autumn which he compares with his yellow house and long linear green grass. Monet uses cool colors to show water and light colors to show reflection. The mass of the water lilies are light, the trees in Van Gogh’s painting are heavy. The weight on the water lilies is not evenly balanced; more water lilies are shown on the upper right corner than lower left corner. Lines are radical, curved, thin and soft edged in water lilies. In the Garden of Poets, lines are organic curved, soft edged and light.The shapes are organic, actual, simple and mending in both paintings. The tones of colors are subtle, colors of paintings are practical(prenominal) and both secondary and 3rd colors are used. The values of lightness are mid-range, high contrast value in Garden of Poets and chiaroscuro in water lilies are seen by viewing in atmospheric light. Monet uses colors in impressionist perspective to show shadow of the clouds. â€Å"his easel and canvases at the water’s edge he could study the hoyden of natural colours and textures among the floating plants and among the fall and forth of overhanging trees….Monet’s continuing concern with colour harmonies prompted as strongly emotive response. Foliage and flowers, seen in magical, argent light, are transformed in glittering greens, blues, pinks and yellows. ” (Bumpus, p 37, 1991) In water lilies, Monet plays with colors to show the effect of light, shadows and to show depth of the pond. He uses cool colors such as blue and pink stool of the objects seem real, actual and light weight in water lilies, both paintings are two dimensional.The pose is shallow in both paintings, Monet and Van Gogh are not interested in showing illusion in these paintings but they are painted in atmospheric and aerial perspective. Both artists use colors to show the effect of the seasons. Monet uses day light in high contrasting values. â€Å"he paints onward the shadows disappear” according to A day in the country that Monet paints by using timing and h e actually uses different day times to show the difference between lightness and darkness. Both painters are not interested in showing illusions. Monet shows the realistic point of view, Van Gogh on the other side uses artistic point of view. It becomes clear that the garden was really dedicated to Paul Gaugin, whose arrival he awaited and whom he expected to be ‘the youthful local poet’. In his imagination this perfectly characterless garden has been endowed with intensely personal and exemplary meaning. ” (Bupmpus, p 39, 1991) Van Gogh shows personal intensity for Gauguin’s arrival. Monet on the other side uses his techniques to show impressionism, he uses paintings in circles and squares to try out different shadings of colors to show dusk and dawn timings in light to dark lights in his water lilies.Water Lilies is Monet’s experimental paintings â€Å"the subsequent twenty are oft more experimental.. Only three continue the horizontal format. The others are square, circular, or upright, suggesting monet was testing all of his options(Pls. 221-224). The vertical panels are more venturesome…… these vertical scenes are sliced down the middle by a meandering trail of sky. ” (Tucker, p 194, 1995) An art is representation of an artist’s lifestyle and events. Van Gogh painted The Garden of Poet’s with very doubtful passion and emotions.This painting was all about mourning, sorrow, sadness, hopes and dreams. Van Gogh dreamed of working with Gauguin for a while and had hoped that one day he would show up to his Yellow House and work with him. Monet on the other hand was intrigued with impression with remote world and how he viewed them. Even though these two famous artists lived very different life style, they both loved art and wanted to express and share their thought with outside world. They both conveyed their message through color, shades, brushstroke and transformed a mere art into a price less piece.\r\n'
