An artist is a person who represents what is seen and experienced by visual means. Many artists paint on order, that is they have generally an admirer of her art received a contract to paint a picture. You may be given a specific subject or the painter himself will decide this material will be provided by the customer. Or the painter paints without authority and chooses his own motives and hopes to sell his pictures, following in a gallery. Here, the painter himself assumes the material cost. Each artist developed his individual, personal style and gives moods, emotions, memories and impressions in pictures. Over the centuries, art has evolved differently, and especially the ways of painting are very different.
Here are some famous examples:
Vincent van Gogh is a very unusual artist who struggled to live a long time, his art form. Despite many criticisms, he did not refrain from painting. He began with small human studies, and drew the peasants in the fields. His characters always exuded a strong momentum, and raised them as to life. Later, he painted only in oils. Over time he developed his own unique style: he used too much color (to the chagrin of his brother, who took over for him the material), which was often criticized by other artists, but this can be wonderfully recognize his brushwork.
In his paintings, he used bright, bold colors, but he voted in harmony. Its color does not always correspond to reality, and so for example, the sky was green or pink. Van Gogh advantage of this stylistic device to give expression to his feelings. He painted spontaneously, usually even before the site, and thus expressed his own feelings quickly on screen.
1872 Impressionist Claude Monet painted the first image, and thus influenced the style of Impressionism. He gave back to nature with his own feelings. The special feature of Monet's paintings is that they close up view of nothing but dots and spots of color are from further away, but they give a clear, beautiful picture. The best example is the famous water lilies by Monet. Claude Monet used particularly large number of bright, warm tones, and liked to paint nature.
He had a small house in Giverny and a beautiful garden which he painted a lot. Interested him especially the lighting and he often painted the same scenes at different times of day. Monet is in addition to Cezanne, Renoir, van Gogh and others as one of the fathers of modern art.
