Details Title: Dance in the city (Danse À La Ville) Artist: Pierre Auguste Renoir Published: 1883 Style of art: Impressionism Location: Musée d’Orsay, Paris, France Dimension: 179.7 x 89.1 cm Oil on canvas A very fashionable Parisienne woman, waltzing with her dance partner, dressed in the latest neoclassically draped evening style of young women, in a winter ball. Pierre Auguste Renoir is one of the brightest representatives of Impressionism style of art. Dance in the city was painted by order from one of Renoir’s customer, Paul Durand-Ruel which he ordered three paintings that depicted a dancing couple. The dancers were completely transformed in each of these places. All the canvas depicts a couple dancing a slow dance which shows an intimate and loving moment. The artist took such a proposal with great interest as he was already well acquainted with this topic. However, this time, Renoir decided to create slightly different from his usual paintings, all of them dancing looked completely different, but it was the same pair. In this painting, an elegant couple dances near the marble columns, and the look of a man and a woman is exceptionally elegant as the couple dressed in a classic that shows luxurious. The man carefully hugs his lady, but his whole pose is full of gallantry and attention. The coquette is extraordinarily beautiful – a gentle blush on round cheeks, an upturned nose, beautiful eyes. Graceful hands emphasize the beauty of the movements. To top it all, this painting it describes a silent melody and a beautiful, young couple enjoying their night out without any interruptions of other, as if there is no one just them.

He is known as an Art Director, Illustrator, and Painter. Among his carrier, he also holds workshops and teaches privately. Andrew’s illustrations are used by advertising design and marketing companies around the world. Paint the future painting is the metaphorical journey of the lone artist, Andrew Judd following his instinct and painting the future. In his point of view, the journey of life is more important than the destination itself. He believe that paint is magic, it takes us into the world of realism and imagination. It is indeed, a very two different world apart. But somehow, both has it’s own way But somehow, both has it’s own way to show people what it’s like to walk along on it’s road that we will be facing. It also makes us to think of the journey, the whole process before we set ourselves on it’s destination. The painting depicts a man choosing his path and follows the color. It describe as if he has made up his own mind and walk slowly towards his future, the one thing he hasn’t sure what is ahead of him, but will enjoy the ride anyway. It is actually quiet interesting because the story behind it has a deep meaning, especially about life. The last thing that makes this painting interesting is that there is only one man, alone in the road with no one but himself. It describes how we, as human has every right to choose our own path at every given moment. Title : Paint the Future Artist : Andrew Judd Date : 2009 Medium : Oil on Canvas
Impressionist by Paul Cézanne
The Hanged Man’s House The story behind the painting The Hanged Man’s House (The House of the Suicide) was painted by Paul Cézanne in a small town north of Paris, Auvers-sur-Oise. It illustrated his conversion to Impressionism as he used the pale colours and broken brush strokes to this painting. Gone are the dark colours, this painting shows a different characters from his earlier works. The painting also shows a change in subject matter, such as his chosen theme as well as the techniques. Despite his debbling in the world of Impressionism, he put some unique touches that set his paintings apart from other artists. It is shown in the complexity of the composition along with it’s characteristics. There is no single strong focal point, instead several paths moved in different directions, encouraging the viewers eye to follow it’s path when one looks at the painting. The painting depicts a picturesque cottage situated in Auvers near the Rue de Four. It also depicts a landscape devoid of human presence, an abandoned and isolated place, with cracked walls. The branches of the trees and starkly angling off to the top, depict a sense of confusion. The brush strokes are broken. It is thicker than the standard, showing an overall impression of having been plastered with paint. The lack of people, the village, the stiff, and the cool colours in the painting seems utterly deserted – perhaps creates a strong sense of solitude. The Hanged Man’s House was exhibited at the First Impressionist Exhibition which is held in 1874, a year after the painting was created. Today, it is on display in Paris at the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, France, alongside with Cézanne’s other great artworks.
