I love these paintings. The Institute of Art in Chicago has an amazing Impressionist exhibit filled with Van Gogh's, Monet's Cassatt's Reoir, Manet, and Marisots. If you have never been it is a must see.

This is the courtesan Nana, which Manet painted. He liked to paint "real" people.

Impressionism... color, movement, painting from feeling not for accuracy...lots of painting of ordinary people (rather than only the rich having portraits painted)...

Impressionism was shocking and vulgar. It was too emotional to violent, to bold....!

It is lovely. I look at it every day and marvel. The original is huge ummm globs of paint and colour. It is amazing in so many ways.

Another outstanding painting by Dali. This was a source of inspiration for one of my works of art.
I have added them both here....The painting by Dali is top. Mine is bottom.

Title of painting below is, "Death Comes". And, yes, there is a story behind the subject matter.

I like the contrast of depth, tone and richness of color in Rivera's painting
and also the calla lillies (one of my favorite flowers).

I like this portrait for these reasons: symbolism, metaphor, and a particular realism that I find enchanting.

(i.e., the swans- mating rituals, mating for life as partners - mating concepts in general; the River - the plethora of social constuction pertaining to a myriad ideas - intentional use or metaphorical use; au natural beauty - the element behind living simply, authentically, dimensional applications; the tree and its leaves - for structural purpose; root ideas, anchoring principles.)
