Claude Monet "Artist's Garden at Argenteuil" Framed Art Print (38 X 28 inch)
Nothing quite says beauty like flowers, and whose garden captures the moment better than Frenchman Claude Monet's 1873 work titled "Artist's Garden at Argenteuil", which is a northwestern suburb of Paris France.
The landscape painting features a prominent foreground of red, yellow and white roses popping out from a thick ivy ground cover as a primly dressed older couple strolls in the background towards a modest provincial cottage bordered by a short picket fence. A large tree adjacent to the cottage seems to lean in towards the cottage like a dog leaning in for a snack.
Almost the entire painting is soft tints of red, green, yellow and white, except for some bold red roses within the ivy. Milky cumulus clouds consume the sky. Claude Monet was an impressionist artist, and their method was to portray natural landscapes in a manner that would invite viewers to literally stop and smell the roses, so to speak.
Masterpiece Art Print - Pierre Auguste Renoir (38 X 28 inch)
The print is titled Luncheon of the Boating Party and the setting is on the terrace of an idyllic upscale restaurant which overlooks the beautiful Seine River in southern France. Think of it like when you attended the balcony of an upscale McDonalds which overlooks the beautiful Chicago River and watched abandoned tires float by. Except for the dead fish smell, that's almost the same experience as Renoir, right?
Renoir used people that he actually knew to pose for the picture, including local oarsmen who frequently traversed the Seine River and hung out at the upscale restaurant afterwards. In fact, the only person not socially interacting in the painting is a woman near the lower left of the painting who interacts with her cocker spaniel instead. That woman would later become Renoir's wife in real life.
The scene is all about enjoying fine food and drink in the company of fine friends in a fine setting. Renoir hung out at this restaurant a lot, as did several of his art contemporaries, and it became the setting for a number of paintings over his career.
Vincent Van Gogh Starry Night Framed Art Print (38 X 28 Inch)
I have seen other prints of this painting which look "happier", but the thing that I like most about this Starry Night print of a famous 1889 Vincent Van Gogh masterpiece is that it is dark and moody, and the turbulent night sky dominates the scene except for one bright yellow star tucked far away in the upper right corner, as if the artist wants to believe in that bright yellow star but lacks the confidence that he can overcome the turbulent sky to embrace the bright star.
Van Gogh painted Starry Night from inside an insane asylum in southern France as he recovered from a nervous breakdown and severe panic attacks. Born of Dutch parents and son of a pastor, Van Gogh served his young adult life not only as an artist, but also as a Belgian missionary in coal-mining communities before moving to Paris to live with his brother in 1886. He took his own life by gunshot wound in a wheat field in 1890 at age 37, but some dispute about that because although he walked home and died later, no gun was ever recovered from the wheat field,
Besides the threatening nocturnal sky and the bright yellow star, the bottom of the painting features a thin slice of landscape from a serene town whose dominant structure is the church steeple. To the right, Van Gogh draws a mountain range, but it is ill-defined compared to the swirling night sky filled with several fuzzy stars which are not nearly as luminous as the bright yellow star. On the left side is a very tall, oddly-shaped cypress tree that looks unhealthy, as if slowly dying. Van Gogh liked to portray cypress trees in some of his other works, but not as melancholy as this tree.
The original painting hangs on display in the Museum of Modern Art (New York City).
