Two Famous Paintings I Love

in #art6 years ago

Night Hawks

Celebrated as a key figure of 20th century American art, lifelong New Yorker Edward Hopper held that “great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.” While this intimate artistic approach is apparent in many of Hopper’s masterpieces, it is particularly apparent in Nighthawks, an iconic oil painting that has helped define the Modernist movement.

Night Fishing at Antibes

At the center is a boat with two fishermen spearing fish by the light of two gas lamps. This central motif is framed by others: at the right we see two girls standing on the breakwater, one of the girls is holding onto her bicycle while licking an ice-cream cone. At the upper left we can recognize the old town of Antibes; in the center above there is a bright moon in the sky. The work displays a range of colors that has never before appeared in Picasso's paintings: dark blues and violets are contrasted with various shades of green, and this curious dark triad is brightened by a few yellow accents - which gives it a ghost-like quality.

This painting is exceptional in Picasso's work.

Hi there lesso here. Believe me when I say I had no intention of claiming the post as my own work.
I was merely trying to convey my interest in art.
