impressionist painting
As I was going down to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art I wasn't too thrilled of going. I tend to think art museums are boring. What's the big deal about seeing in artist that died before I even born? Then to have to stand to in line waiting, at this point I was really trying to understand why I was here, the only thing I could think of was that I forced to come here and I need a good grade in History. As I went into the exhibit I decided to focus on the impressionist paintings of van Gohg since it was perfect for my history project. For van Gohg nature paintings were his main focus. It let him express how he felt through his paintings. As I walked up to the paintings I got different feelings. Like for instance the painting Orchard in Blossom Arles made me have this happy and serene feeling staring at it. I kind of felt that I didn't want to move because of how calm and beautiful it was. My interpretat
This made me feel a sense of death and complete sorrow. This woman has no joy, the joy id the ocean and the sailboats, which she is separated from and is trying to reach for it. I think that this foreshadows how van Gohg's life was going to be from then on, all down hill. Like he worked so hard on what he loved so much, but this never relieved him from this feeling of loneliness. Going to this Art Museum gave me a better appreciation for art, and how a person can express completely how they feel through strokes of a brush, and make you have that same feeling when you look at it!. You really have to stare at this painting to completely enter into the feeling that this painting is trying to portray. I felt that this "jungle" represented an overabundance of problems in his life and the "reaper" (death) is going to get rid of all these problems. That if she just jumps in, and grabs her joy she wishes to have! A painting that really moved me was Wheat stacks with Reaper. It almost seems that the wheatfields are never ending, and so in fact he will never leave the life of loneliness and enter into the Paradise. If you look at it closely, I noticed women, which is a shadow probably casting off from the bridge. Avery strange painting the seascape at Saintes- Maries. Another painting Arles: View from the Wheatfields made me have this feeling of loneliness. I felt a sense of death, sadness and confession. Another painting the Orchard in Blossom made me feel a deeper happiness, but it also was a deeper happiness, like it was a continents within yourself rather than a materialistic thing making you feel happy. ion of it was that a blossoming tree of flower was a sign of rejuvenation, renewal of life and a sign of complete happiness within the artist.
