Claude
Monet’s "Water Lilies" are calm and peaceful. The choices of cool
colors of the painting contribute to this calm feeling. The painting is
very balanced. The bright water lilies are a contrast to the dark
pond. Movement throughout the painting is very interesting.
You move around the painting starting in the center and then you look outwards.
There is no real line because the artist wanted you to see everything at
once. The style of this picture is impressionistic because flowers are
real, but Monet painted them
unfocussed so you can find the deep meaning of the calm painting. This
picture takes you to a relaxed world and that’s why we would like to be
in this picture. |
