#Neo Impressionism

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

I'm thinking about Stanley's sketchbook again, and can you IMAGINE how art movements at the time could have affected his art??? I'm not exactly an art history expert but from what I remember, Pop Art was only just going out of style during the 1970-somethings, when people started to look more towards Neo-Impressionism late 1970- early 1980s, and good LORD that was a whole thing /pos

Idk how he would have even seen the art movement?? I'm not sure how art was distributed to the public back then, especially from the point of view of homeless people. Could they have been displayed on storefront windows or newspapers, or were they a NYC SoHo art scene exclusive thing? Idk!! But the thought of Stan experimenting with his style is gnawing at my brain!!!!

Just a reminder that the “tortured artist” trope is a myth. Vincent Van Gogh’s most famous and beloved works are not bleak and depressing; they’re filled with hope, and reverence for the beauty of the world around him. He was not a great artist because of his pain, he was a great artist because of his hope, in spite of his pain.

A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (1884) 🎨 Georges Seurat 🏛️ The Art Institute of Chicago 📍 Chicago, United States

In his best-known and largest painting, Georges Seurat depicted people relaxing in a suburban park on an island in the Seine River called La Grande Jatte. The artist worked on the painting in several campaigns, beginning in 1884 with a layer of small horizontal brushstrokes of complementary colors. He later added small dots, also in complementary colors, that appear as solid and luminous forms when seen from a distance.Seurat's use of this highly systematic and "scientific" technique, subsequently called Pointillism, distinguished his art from the more intuitive approach to painting used by the Impressionists. Although Seurat embraced the subject matter of modern life preferred by artists such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, he went beyond their concern for capturing the accidental and instantaneous qualities of light in nature. Seurat sought to evoke permanence by recalling the art of the past, especially Egyptian and Greek sculpture and even Italian Renaissance frescoes. As he explained to the French poet Gustave Kahn, "The Panathenaeans of Phidias formed a procession. I want to make modern people, in their essential traits, move about as they do on those friezes, and place them on canvases organized by harmonies of color." Some contemporary critics, however, found his figures to be less a nod to earlier art history than a commentary on the posturing and artificiality of modern Parisian society. Seurat made the final changes to La Grande Jatte in 1889. He re-stretched the canvas in order to add a painted border of red, orange, and blue dots that provides a visual transition between the interior of the painting and his specially designed white frame.

AT ETERNITY'S GATE, 1890 by VINCENT VAN GOGH

VAN GOGH'S painting is a poignant depiction of an elderly man consumed by despair and hopelessness. The work, based on an earlier lithograph, represents the declining physical and mental health of GOGH himself, who completed it just two months before his death.

The painting's subject sits uneasily on a simple wooden chair, his elbows resting on his legs as he cradles his head in his hands. VAN GOGH uses strong vertical lines in the floorboards, chair, and wall to create a sense of unease and tension in the room. These lines contrast with the horizontal lines on parts of the chair, suggesting a conflict between chaos and calm.

The man's concealed face allows the viewer to empathize with his anguish and identify with their own moments of despair. His old age is a reference to the final years of life, prompting the audience to imagine their own future. The man's clenched fists and covered face indicate his attempts to control and hide his emotions, even in solitude.

The color palette also contributes to the painting's somber mood. The man's blue overalls suggest melancholy and distress, while the small fire in the background provides a glimmer of hope. VAN GOGH believed that in moments of deepest despair, one's senses become more intuitive, allowing them to perceive the wonders of ETERNITY and GOD.

Through this work, VAN GOGH communicates his own struggles with mental illness, financial uncertainty, and the impending end of his life. Despite the darkness, the painting still manages to offer a glimpse of hope and the belief in an eternal home. AT ETERNITY'S GATE stands as a testament to VAN GOGH'S unique and influential artistic style, as well as his ability to convey profound emotions through his art

Vincent Van Gogh | Two Crabs | 1889 | London National Gallery

"After his release from hospital in Arles in January 1889, Van Gogh embarked on a series of still lifes, including crab studies. This painting may show the same crab upright and on its back. Parallel strokes sculpt the creature's form on an exuberant sea-like surface."
