1900s - Renoir was still diligent in painting in his later years. He painted many nude women, bringing the soft visual touch to life.

1910s - Renoir finally saw his work hanging in the Louvre during his lifetime.
Died in 1919.

Renoir's "Moulin Rouge Ball", the painter died of poverty and illness, but this painting sold for a high price of 1990 million US dollars in 7810.It's ironic.

Zhang Feng studied this painting carefully. From the technical point of view, the sun shines through the leaves mottledly, and the treatment of light and color spots fully expresses the height of the impressionist party's light and color changes in real life. sensitive.

The painting embodies the most impressionistic moment he was in.The people inside were dressed in contemporary clothes.The men wear tall or straw hats, and the women wear hooped skirts and waist pads.In this painting, the mundane scene of an outdoor bohemian ball becomes a dream of light and color of beautiful women and courteous men.Shafts of light, flickering and flickering over the colored forms of the figures—blues, roses, and yellows, mingle in a romantic haze that softens the beauty of all these pleasant people , and enhance the value of this beauty.

Dancing in the painting is the Queen of Montmartre at that time - La.Gu Liu and her male dance partner Hua Landan.She is a wild, uneducated dancing girl.People gathered around the dance floor, watching this intense show, no one cared who they were, it was a place to have fun.

"Isn't that what art is?" Zhang Feng couldn't help sighing after reading it. What kind of dogma do you want? After taking pictures, Zhang Feng continued to walk forward and came to the painting by Berthe Morisot.

Berthe Morisot was born in Bourges in January 1841 and died in Paris in March 1895. He was a French painter.Morisot was the first female painter to join the Impressionist School. She was taught by Corot, and her friend and uncle Manet had an absolute influence on her painting style.Morisot married Manet's brother Eugène Manet.Different from other Impressionist painters, Morisot paid special attention to the optical experience of color, and was regarded as the most important female painter in the second half of the 19th century together with Cassatt in the United States.

The painter Berthe Morisot depicted mothers and children and the painter's daughter with the unique sensibility of women, and Morisot's works reflect the delicate and stable women unique to them.In addition to serving as a model for the great contemporary painter Edouard Manet many times, Morisot was pointed out that she had a relationship with him that was more than a master-student relationship (love).

Berthe Morisot and her sister Edmé studied oil painting with Joseph Benoit Guichart as children, and they were influenced by the works of the painter there.Later, Camille Corot came to Paris to study the Barbizon School and began to create works outdoors.Berthe Morisot also turned to Corot.

After the painter Camille Corot was selected for the Salon for the first time in [-], he met Edouard Manet at the Louvre Museum through the introduction of the Salon painter Henri Fontaine-Latour.In addition to Manet being greatly influenced, Batignollian (Post-Impressionist) painters such as Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, and Bazille, and art critics such as Emile Zola also has been greatly affected.

In [-], Berthe Morisot married Eugène Manet, Édouard Manet's younger brother, and their daughter Julie Manet was born four years later in [-].After his marriage, Berthe Morisot participated in the Fourth Impressionist Exhibition.

Later, Morisot died in Paris in [-].

She likes to paint interior scenes, and seems to want to express poetic images in familiar and intimate domestic environments.This "Cradle" is one of the first works of a female painter to participate in the Impressionist exhibition.The painting depicts a young mother looking at her sleeping child. The mother and the baby sleeping in the gauze form a very affectionate, harmonious and elegant picture without any affectation. This is from a warm woman The psychological emotion makes the picture very pure. No wonder Renoir called her "pure genius" and regarded her as an excellent painter of interior scenes.This painting remains in people's memory with smooth strokes and fresh tones.

Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was an important painter of Impressionism.Edgar Degas was born in a family of financial capitalists, and Degas's grandfather was a painter, so Degas grew up in a family that cared about art very much.

After graduating from high school, Edgar Degas applied for art school. He studied Italian art in Italy, especially the art of the Renaissance.At the same time, Degas was in the studio of Louis-Lamott, a protégé of Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780-1867). learn to draw.At that time, Degas copied many paintings and drawings from the 15th to 16th centuries; when he returned to Paris, he was already a skilled sketch expert who had learned the techniques of the Ingres school.

The sketch Zhang Feng can only record with a camera, but he can't see too much, but he can be sure that this kind of sketch is a classic sketch, a sketch learned in an academy (academic school), Therefore, Edouard-Manet (1832-1883), Pierre-Auguste-Renoir (Pierre-Auguste-Renoir, 1841-1919), Paul Cezanne (Paul Cezanne, 1839- 1906) all rose up against this kind of sketch soon after, but Degas had a different attitude towards it. He admired the classic sketch very much.

Degas had a natural interest in sketching. He liked thin, coherent and clear lines, believing that such lines were the guarantee of elegant style and the only way to achieve the kind of beauty he admired.Lines became his desire.In the use of lines, Degas reached a level of masterful writing that none of Ingres's disciples and followers could achieve.

But soon, Degas' keen reason made him aware of a new artistic trend, which was "realism".

But this theory advocates abandoning the ancient Greek ideal of beauty and replacing it with a simple and sincere representation of what you see.In order to get close to the ideal of beauty without breaking away from reality, Degas's creative technique is to use clean lines and the use of light and shade techniques.If you want to depict reality, you must make the technique subject to the individuation of the image, which is portrait painting.The portraits of Degas in his youth accurately express his belief in sketching, his excellent skills, his delicate feeling and his excessive conformity to the rules.
