Art @ the Met

This painting titled "Cypresses" was made by post impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh. It was painted with oil paints on canvas and has circular textured strokes. It was said that he made this painting in the beginning of his stay at the Saint- Remy asylum in France. I chose this painting because although the scene itself its very serene. The colors and the textures are very loud and bold.

This painting is titled " Tilla Durieux" is by Auguste Renoir. Aguste Renoir was an impressionist artist. I was drawn to this painting because Tilla Durieux's facial expression is so welcoming. Renoir has captured the softness in her hands, posture and hair by using soft complimenting colors.
