Painter Georges Braque’s works

Relatively speaking, Braque’s decomposition in the picture for objects’ image, was more extreme than Picasso. Mostly this analysis form experiments were taken in his still life. This may be because his still life was less constrained. In the ManTuoLing " still life portrait painting, the shape and color of the waves surrounded instruments, subduction in the face, colour and rhythm’s vibration, all elements sang with shadow, light, reflection ,having the characteristics of the stereo .The diffuse light, those tilted toward and around block surface, echo with each other. And that truly can make many visual elements to unify, was the ManTuoLing’s circular aperture in the heart of the picture, This dark graphics is the intersect center that all cross cross-court. In the colors of the painting, still simple as the colour of his early works, however, on the basis of not breaking its simplicity idiosyncratic, it appeared more lively and abound changed .
In 1910, Braque had ever drew a nail in a painting titled "the violin and water tank” top of the still life portrait painting, with vivid illustration, thus made the painting look like hanging in this nail generally. such problems have been attacked by the Press then. However, the great action had been followed by the cubism painters . Since then, Braque put letters and Numbers as a motif introducing them into pictures but in the picture painted enough genuine false wood and false marble. Then later, he, simply more further, directly covered with the real thing (usually pieces of paper, wood, etc.). in this way, this comprehensive cubism painting language had been born.
The brakke’s collage creation, began from 1912. He tried strengthen picture composition effects through a series of piecing up of abstract graphics. His production process became more and more concise, bold, works effect became more ever increasingly and directly, clear. from abstract , he started slowly turning in the emerging of abstraction, looking for his theme in figurative graphics . His collage, except by disc, very rarely used other materials. Such unqualified material people often referred to a gave the brakke’s "building painting" creation great convenience.
Braque’s collage was his 1913 portrait painting “the clarinet ", his masterpiece. He gave out a group of simple shape in central picture with wood grosgrain paper, newspapers and colored paper , and with a pencil delineated lines and shadows in this shape group around. Here, the ingredients object-image and subjective created mutual fusion, resulting in a kind of modelling value and tenderness though accidental but convincing. In this simple and exact picture structure, each visual elements, whether different pieces of paper or light outlined lines, had become a symbol. Those lines made clipped graphics get some dependence and meaning, even can let a person comprehend some spirit connotation. Through collecting and sticking, artists showed the viewer some forgotten performance factors by people, especially aesthetic feeling on the material and colour. This is obviously greatly different from the analysis cubism style.
This work, also showed Braque the surprising control and processing picture space ability. If we say, the processing of space in the analytical cubism work showed feeling and vitality, so now in this so-called integrated cubism exploring, the portrait painting pictures revealed a combination of a strange and stable static trend. all graphics in the painting gathered in the centre of the picture. With a light but quite sure line, surrounding the group prayer-book piecing up graphics, painter thus further strengthened the centripetal force of the picture, which effectively stopped all movement which may surpass the limitations, making any detail seemed threatened out of its force turn back.

The Painter Fernand Leger

Although, in the three-dimensional movement, Fernand Leger is undoubtedly key figure of the genre, no matter he's portrait painting in the theme or image are closely linked with the modern industrial civilization.
Leger (Fernand Leger ,1885-1955) was born in Argenteuil,he had done construction apprentices when he was young. He went to Paris in 1900,had been a construction draftsman,and worked in a studio retouching photos. In 1903, he entered the Institute of Decorative Arts, began its career to study painting. At first he was learning style Impressionism and Fauvism, 1907, in Paris,After he aw Cezanne retrospective of works ,he was great shocked and inspired, with the following rising Cubism, the style has completely changed. He "discovered the significance of Paul Cezanne,he was affected by Cezanne, he Greatly simplifed the shape of their portrait painting, the images are expressed as a combination of tilting barrel or tube, so that made it look like a mechanical assembly. Even if for the figures, he also painted the same machine as stiff and hard.
Leger became a engineer during World War II, became a engineer. This experience affected his later portrait painting style. He recalled: "I was in a suddenly dazzling and novelty of the reality. ... ...my new companions in the machinery are miners, road-works, iron works and wood factory worker, I found the French people among them. At the same time, I was confused by 75 mm guns without shelter in the sun: the silver-white metal shines the light on the magic. that's enough to make me forget the abstract art in 1912-13. "leger artist did not walk on the road toward the abstract as factions, but turned to the depiction of real life. He enthusiastically showed that mechanical face which contacted with modern civilization,and the performance of those of ordinary workers.
Leger huge portrait painting "Three Women", which reflected his artistic pursuit. The painting showedthree modern women's image as its monumental size. They seem indifferent look, there is no personality, and is staring the audience motionless. Here, Léger seems not to be interested in sports, and bent on the pursuit of a static picture effect. The image of the painting are all fixed, as if even the air froze. The image of the three women can not help us think of some goddess in the Western traditional painting. Perhaps Leger is like to take the traditional hot motif to symbolize the modern: the goddess of industrial society.

Works of the painter Georges Braque

Among the Cubist painters, George ? Braque (Georges Braque ,1882-1963) , his influence was not actually smaller than Picasso’s. He and Picasso were the founder of cubism movement, and "Cubism," was derived from his work. In addition, there was a number of innovations in cubism movement were made by him, for example, letters and numbers into portrait painting, using means of collage, and so on. Most of the works of Braque were still life paintings and landscapes, simple styled, precise and uniform.
Blake was born in a painter Teyi family in Argenteuil-sur-Seine, his father and grandfather were amateur painter, which made him have a keen interest in painting at an early age. In 1893, the family moved to Le Havre, Braque, and soon he studied in a local art school. In 1902, he entered art school in Paris, by embracing and guidance, then turned to Ruanbeier College. In 1904 he founded his own studio. After a visit to the fall Sharon in 1905, he had keen interest in Fauvism painting, in the next two years, he took part in the Fauvism art movement. However, his work was "serene Cantabile like" tone, different from the kind of strong colors, bold strokes and exciting authentic works of different styles of Fauvism. In 1907, he met Picasso, whose portrait painting of hard work, "the girl Avignon" dumped him, the two became best friends, co-planning the cubism movement.　 　
In 1908,Blake went to Ace Tucker ,where Cezanne landscape had drawn a lot of landscape paintings in his late period. There, Blake began to explore the natural geometric forms through landscape appearance. The "Ace Tucker's house," was a typical work at the time. In this painting, the house and trees were reduced to geometry. This approach was clearly derived from Cezanne. Cezanne summarized various physical of the nature as a cylinder, cone and sphere, Black pursued further geometry performing from images of the natural. His unique approach to compress the depth of the screen space, made the house look like a pressed carton in the painting, ranging between the flat and three-dimensional effect. Scene in the painting was not arranged before and after the stack, but get ahead in the top-down way, so that the number of images had been to the top of the screen. all the scenery in the portrait painting, whether the most far-reaching or the most promising, both of them have the same clarity to show in the picture. At that stage when Blake made this painting, the style was clearly showing Cezanne’s impact, therefore, this phase also was known as "type Cezanne Cubism Period."
"Mandolin", Black’s works ,1909-1910, the canvas oil painting ,79-59 cm, London, Tate Art Museum.

Works made by Braque and Picasso in the analysis of three-dimensional during the period, style was so close that it was hard to determine what people did when put together. Which was extremely rare phenomenon in the history of art. They not only painting the same and the selected topics were also very similar. They favored drawing instruments. Blake loved music, so musical instruments and sheet music were especially prevalent in his works. The portrait painting "Mandolin" made in 1909-1910 was a masterpiece of Black during the period of three-dimensional analysis. In the same period, Picasso's paintings had also appeared such instruments.




It is said that cubist’s preference to the subject of mandolin, was in large part , effected by the famous poet Mallarme (Mallarme). In Mallarme's poem, the mandolin was the most preferred symbol , was a multiple metaphor. It can play the music because of their own identity, face was treated as a symbol of artistic creation, at the same time, because of the similar shape of the woman's uterus, it was considered the creation of a similar hint. However, to the cubist , Mallarme's influence was not to choose the instrument the subject, but art techniques in its decomposition and reconstruction of the poetry creation. Cubist decomposed objective images and re-painting fragments in decomposition . How much Mallarme had influenced!

Works of the painter Munch: Scream

Edward Munch (1863-1944) the great Norwegian painter, a pioneer in the modern expressionist painting.
Edward Munch (1863-1944) is a Norwegian artist of world reputation, expressionist pioneer of western painting. His portrait painting grief with a strong subjective and depressed mood. Picasso, Matisse, had absorbed his art nutrients, some of the artists from Germany and France got inspiration from his works.
It has been found in the painting, the schizophrenia can evoke the artistic vitality of those with nohuman accomplishment, and sometimes can increase the creativity of established artists. One writer once said: "Sometimes I wonder, how all those who do not write, compose or paint do to escape the madness, depression, panic which always exist in the human situation." This portrait painting treatment was well performed by the father of the Expressionist paintings Munch Edward ?
Munch was born in a family of intellectuals in Norway in 1863. Father was a knowledgeable, experience-rich Medical, mother received a good art education. at his 5 years old, his mother suffered from tuberculosis and died and five siblings were raised by the aunt . After the death of his mother, father was sad and did not go out of the house for a couple of days, his depressed nerves strongly infected Munch who lost his mother, which was the first time in his life he felt the terror of death. When Munch was 13 years old, two years older sister also died due to lung disease.
Munch had a good relationship with his sister, they had deep friendship. Her death
spurred again Munch's nerves. Then his sister was also suffering from schizophrenia. This series of pain caused by blows, deep into the inner heart of Munch, determined the character of Munch and his creation in his half early years . From his portrait painting "sick child", "mother’s death " and "spiritual bedside" and other works, we can clearly see this. Especially after his father died in 1889, his spirit was not sustenance, character became depressed and withdrawn. Loneliness, despair, death , such feeling deeply troubled young Munch, and had reach the extent of non-expression. He wanted to cry, he wanted to draw a living people, and their breathing, feeling and suffering. During this period, he painted his most important work, "Scream." The picture described a baby-shaped little one ran from the bridge wit the mouth opened, the far vision of the Gulf and the sunset scene. The sky liked a rolling wave of blood red, it felt tremors and terror, as if the whole nature was bleeding. Later, Munch said in talking about this painting: "I and two friends walked together, the sun gone, the sky became red like blood, I suddenly was listless, extreme fatigue and stop pacing, the dark strait and the road showed the same light tongue as blood and fire. Friends were walking, I stopped to tremble by myself because of unrest there , I felt a strong cry of nature.
"Munch's portrait painting" The Scream "and all of his works were drawn only through their own experience, he did not do art for art, he expressed only about his own depression and anxiety. This was his driving force of creation stands. Munch opened its own claustrophobic passages by creating and unconsciously revealed their unconscious feelings, making the great spiritual energy in heart vent. As Freud believed dreams can ease the tension in a way as to achieve a more peaceful state by expressing feelings through art. If not through the a large number of creation to express themselves, then he might like his sister had a nervous breakdown prematurely earlier.
Unfortunately, Munch finally suffered schizophrenia in 1908, and in schizophrenia, his spirit had received the most complete relief. back after treatment to Norway from Copenhagen in Denmark, hestill insisted on creating with very high enthusiasm, he lectured for the University of Oslo, the huge murally created radiant "Sun", also painted a number of portrait paintings such as "Snow go home" and "workers to go home" and other natural landscape, but his works expressed was the incidence and completely different from before, the work became bright, quiet and rich philosophy , which art historians called "the second period." we can only conclude from works of this period that the pain and conflict inside Munch have been released without a trace.

Appreciation of world famous paintings（A）

Mathis:"businessman and his wife"

Mathis (1465 or 1466-1530) was born in Liege. It is speculated that he ever worked in West‘s studio and was taught by him. His early portrait painting were not free from the influence of tradition, and most are religious paintings. Although his religious paintings pursuit the simple composition, filled with bright, soft sunlight and have a wide space visual effect, but only until 1491,when he came to Antwerp and greatly changed his style, he set himself a distinctive position.

The famous《businessman and his wife》is just the sign of Mathis style change. this painting was completed in 1514,is currently collected in the Louvre in Paris. It is a typical genre painting and viewed as the model in modern art historians of describing the daily life. although before Mathis, Where • Ike already painted the "Arnault Finney couples " ,which is also a genre painting, but its custom character is not strong enough, so this picture from Mathis has such an important position.

What the painting depicted is a businessman and his wife-this is a very ordinary plot in the life. The businessman in the portrait painting is using the scale weigh the gold and silver, the look is very focused. His wife is reading the prayer book. in that book printed the Madonna and Child image(it reflects the religion coexist with the secular business).However, the pious religion can't match the secular temptation. His wife's eyes not focus on the prayer book, but stared at her husband's activities, which is subtly show the inner life of assets. It should also be pointed out that there's a few words were written in the picture's frame:" "if you are the correct scales, must use the correct weights. " it appears to be a suggestion to the businessman's morality.

In the foreground, there's a convex mirror placed on the table. through the mirror, reflect the window, street, houses and trees. With the convex mirror to extend the scene, this way was also applied in Van • Ike's paintings. it's probably because the people have great interest in new achievements in this optical technology, so it was intended to put in the paintings.

The painter West's artwork:"hay Wain"

"Hay Wain" is an enigmatic portrait painting, it is simply impossible to explain the weird people and various kinds of creatures. No one can catch the meaning of every detail, but the whole picture is understandable. Ji Luomu • the West (also translated Boss) (1450 ** 1516), is a mysterious person, has always been recognized by the historians as an incredible artist. But it is recognized by historians into the peak after the European Renaissance, the first artist representation.

West's original name is Where • Acre, as he was born in the Netherlands packet West City, so the West become a part of his name. His grandfather and father are a little known local artist. as a child, he studied painting in his homeland, but the situation but it was not recorded . In 1474, he has added to the column names in the local art guilds roster. Thirty pieces of existing works from the point of view, he likes to use exaggerated artistic, moral or religious stories in the form of fantasy, to insinuate the contemporary reality and satire exposing the cruel feudal rule, dark, so he works not only The progress of Humanism, and is enshrined in the unique master of realism. His early works such as "seven sin ", "Kana's Wedding ", "magician", etc., already showing his love in the image sent to the characteristics of complex meaning, commonly used symbolism. Particularly good use of folk proverbs Netherlands painting to express their ideas.

Appreciation of world famous paintings（B）

The theme of the portrait painting "Hay Wain" came from an old Netherland proverb: “world is a haystack, everyone can do what he wants to ”Today, we can see in the picture: angels and demons kissing, the prodigal sitting on the nun's lap and flirting with her, monster playing the instrument,the virgin praying...the vehicle followed by pope, king and common people. they're all cheerful, some run to the front, some jump between the wheels, and some have been crushed to death. at here, human and animal intermixed together, they fighting, playing, very absurd and odd. However, in the blue sky, appeared a skinny Christ, he standing in the yellow clouds and looking down everything. Obviously, the painter is just using the Christ's eyes to see this bizarre world, it is full of Good and Evil, Truth and False, Beauty and Ugliness. To the world, West lampoons it mostly with his artistic language. So, we can see the illusion, which appeared in West's painting, is actually from his deep observation to the reality ,he just add it a romantic performace, and then make it a unique artwork.

Mother's portrait painting(A)

Mother died more than a year, brother wrote three times to ask for mother's portrait painting, but I'm still unable to meet brother's wishes.
Mother is superstitious and thought that the camera would take people's soul away. As i studied art for a short period, there're several times i prepared to draw a portrait for my mother, however, finally give up halfway. This is not all my reasons but mostly because mother didn't have enough time to sit down. absolutely, my painting technic is also very limited.
I remembered, when i went into the Teachers College just a few days, I couldn't wait to draw pictures for mother. She's very cooperative and especially dropped all her work, sit down to wait be drawed for a portrait painting. The full half day, although mother wanted to stand up several times but she refrained. I know, she was intended to be my model-although she does not know what the model is. but from her kind eyes and words of encouragement, it's enough to understand a mother's heart. Later, relying on random graffiti, i got a little reputation, but the opportunity like before was already gone. There're one or two times, i finally persuaded mother sit down, but couldn't draw a few strokes, she stood up with excuses. Later and later, i got married and busy with my career all day, the number of back home gradually less up, so has no more idea to draw the portrait painting for mother.
Nowadays, mother gone away, the idea for painting a mother portrait become strong day by day. but every time when i unfold the paper is not because my memory to mother blurred. on the contrary, the pain from mother's death make her image in my mind increasingly profound. The more and more vivid impression let me don't know how to put pen on paper to draw her goodness, love and strong.
Mother is a child bride, married my father in her 14 age. Father was a humble farmer. He met my mother while he sell rice on the road. In order to get some rice, grandfather betrothed mother to the equally poor father. Later mother said, an aunt and she were sold one time, but thanks to her big feet, she got the chance to escape from the master.
