What do you think the travel journal talks about according to the title and the pictures, why do people visit art museums? First impressions. The third of june, paris. Friends, as a huge art fan, I knew exactly what I was looking forward to most about my trip to paris, visiting the music, do or say, housing an old railway building. This world famous art museum features some of the best known paintings from the impressionist movement of the nineteen century. As I wandered through the impressionist gallery, I appreciated masterpieces like the ballet class and the card players. Even though I had admire them hundreds of times on my computer screen, nothing could have prepared me for the wonder I felt when I finally lay eyes on the real thing. While IT was hard to pick a favorite painting out of so many amazing works, the artists who made the deepest impression on me were two of the greatest impressionable painters, claude money and piero goose reward. I could see for moneys works that he was greatly inspired by nature in the last three decades of his life, he painted mostly scenes from his garden. One of these scenes is shown in the famous peace blue water lilies, which I studied for quite a while in the gallery. I couldn't believe IT when I heard he did around two hundred and fifty paintings of the same water lilly pond, all in different colors and styles. IT is amazing that every time money studied the simple scene, he brought the pounds beauty to the canvas in a unique way. Anwar, I noticed, prefer to paint sense of everyday life. For me, the most interesting of his paintings is is eighteen seventy six, master's, at which shows life in a busy neighborhood of paris. On a sunday afternoon, when I saw IT up clothes, I was was struck by the small areas of light across the painting and the way the soft edges of the figures seem to together. There's so much going on, but so little clear detail. This effect makes the lively movement of the dance almost jump out at the viewer, although the paintings had very different settings, IT was their similarities that stayed with me long after I left the music, or say similarities which can be seen throughout the impressionable paintings. Money and ran war, along with other other like minded artists, sought liberation from the rules of the old style. Everyday subject matter was the main focus of their works. I supposed the history paintings that had traditionally dominated european art. They employed free bushwork and used colors to show the effect of light on things, creating paintings that were far less realistic than the works that came before. To me, these techniques are the essence of the impressionist view of art. Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail in the scene, just a brief impression they had at that moment, burning with vivid colors and light before IT disappeared. The impressionable vision inspired a whole new generation of post imprest painters such as vent, van, go and pogo on whose works are also also displayed at the music, or say, IT is also worthy of note that posting persian's painters were not the only ones to be influenced by impressionism. The movement has had a lasting influence on modern art, encouraging artists to look at the world from an entirely new point of view. IT certainly left a lasting impression on me, too.
