Let's talk about the masterpieces of art

The only fixed point in so much confusion was painting. Paul was convinced that he had to devote himself to pictorial research to demonstrate his idea with his paintings.

He did not agree with the Impressionists. His interest was not grasping the impression of the moment.

Cézanne wanted to get to the intimate structure of the things that are seen.

Mondrian knew how to draw very well: a precise and interesting stroke like the chrysanthemum that you can see in the photos of the post. But Piet Mondrian was a sincere artist, a researcher, wanted to go further and it was not enough for him to win easy by stopping in the first comfortable town: he wanted to go further and started walking again.

For centuries and up to 1600 the painting placed the human figure at the center. Portraits, religious and mythological themes certainly also included the landscape, but only as a background, as a useful theater to bring out the human subjects protagonists of the scene.

The Guggenheim Museum in New York has decided to organize an exhibition, dedicated to Wassily Kandinsky, to celebrate the painter in 80 works, who is considered one of the fathers of abstractionism.

The exhibition will last almost a year, because it was inaugurated on 8 October last and will close, except for extensions, on 5 September 2022.

Just as in the second half of the nineteenth century Japanese art influenced all European painting with its ukiyo-e prints, Western painting also influenced Japanese painters who created a style called yoga which means "Western style painting".

We remember Francesco Guardi for the “views”, the landscapes and we approach him with Canaletto. And precisely this comparison helps us to define, by contrast, the novelty and style of Francesco Guardi.

The Nabis called themselves "prophets" inspired by the Art. Fans of esotericism, magic and occultism chose Gauguin as their tutelary deity, referring to his style.

Giovanni Segantini was born in Arco near Trento in 1858, but spent his life in Milan and Brianza first, before ending up in Switzerland and the Engadine. He died on September 28, 122 years ago.

Claude Monet suffered from cataracts in the eyes. This vision alteration changed what he saw and his works seem to precede abstractionism.
