Claude Monet
Claude Monet started the Impressionist movement that completely changed the face of French painting in the second half of the 19th century.He first started out with selling charcoal pictures in Paris and started painting with oil after meeting Eugene Boudin.Eugene,who taught him to use oil paints,also encouraged him to paint outdoors,a technique that he mastered later.
Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh was a postImpressionist French painter of Dutch origin whose work had a huge influence on the 20th century art.His early works consisted more of somber(忧伤的) earth
tones.However,influenced by Gauguin,Monet,Pissarro,and Bernard,he adopted brighter colors in his works,started experimenting with various techniques and formed his own.Having produced more than 2,000 works of art,the artist sold only one painting during his lifetime—The Red Vine yard at Arles.
Édouard Manet
As one of the first artists to paint modern life,he began to paint in his own style,maintaining some of Couture's technique like the use of thick lines and dark colors.He was greatly influenced by Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot,which can be seen in his use of light shades.Most of his paintings show scenes from daily life on the streets of Paris.
Camille Pissarro
In his early years,Pissarro painted scenes of rivers or paths from memory.After meeting Paul Cezanne,who shared his interest of painting in a more realistic style,he changed his course to Impressionism.During his career,he experimented with various styles and formed his own one.
