Claude Monet • French 1840-1926 • Painted outdoors • Captured light and shadow • Color science: Instead of mixing he put pure colors right on the canvas: a tiny stroke of blue next to a dot of yellow for green
Vincent Van Gogh • Dutch, 1853-1890 • Worked quickly • Colors had symbolic meanings • Used strong colors straight from the tube • Applied paint very thickly, leaving obvious brush marks
Monet’s Home • Monet struggled to earn enough money to keep his family living in their home. • He valued his style of painting more than the money he needed to pay the rent. Claude MonetFrench, 1840-1926 The Artist's House at Argenteuil, 1873
Van Gogh’s Home • Van Gogh’s family were disgraced by his failure to earn a living and sent him away. • He felt this house was a new start where he could paint with his friend. Vincent van GoghDutch, 1853-1890 The Yellow House, 1888
