Course No. 7187 (24 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture) Taught by Richard Brettell The University of Texas at Dallas Ph.D., Yale University Reuploaded Thanks to mhazrati
Introduces Claude Monet as one of the greatest Impressionist artists by exploring the techniques he used to create such masterpieces as Impression, Sunrise and his many studies of light, color, and shadow.
Claude Monet was a painter for whom the designation 'impressionist' always remained a source of pride. In spite of all the things critics have written about his work, Monet continued to be a true impressionist to the end of his very long life. He was so by deep conviction, and for his Impressionism he may have sacrificed many other opportunities that his enormous talent held out to him. Monet did not paint classical compositions with figures, and he did not become a portraitist, although his professional training included those skills.
Use colors of your choice, or recreate the original hues, for 30 great paintings, among them Mary Cassatt's Mother Combing Her Child's Hair, Renoir's At the Concert, and 28 other reproductions of works by Monet, van Gogh, Gauguin, Manet, Pissarro, Morisot, Cezanne, and 4 other great artists.
