Q2. This painting was painted by Claude Monet, whom loved to paint pictures of his family. It has been told that his mother, father, and uncle are in the picture. They are enjoying a nice beautiful day outisde and have a nice conversation by the water. His uncle looks like he is enjoying his day as well as sitting in the chair thinking.
This painting by Edourd Manet is called the "Absinthe Drinker". It seems like this man is dealing with some sort of issues with the shadow of himself that is behind him. The painting is dark, but the man in the painting is dressed very sophisticated with a top hat on. Could it be this man is dealing with some heavy issues that are weighing on his mind?
Q3. Hughes and the others sort of interwine with one another because every painting and story is supposed to represent some sort of toughness within themselves. I think all of them are great story tellers, its hard to distinguish between them all because in some way they are all connected in some way.
Question for open discussion: Do you think that Manet & Monet have some kind of hidden dark secret as to why their paintings are almost similar? What kind of roots did they come from?
It is my opinion that they did not have a hidden secret. It seems that painters often thrive to be individuals, not people who copy the work of others so closely. Though I may be wrong, I didn't look up anything outside of this film, but I'm sure they the two had similar backgrounds which lead to similar thought processes.
ReplyDeleteIt is also thought that everyone has a double out there, so is anything, you might be able to argue that they just happened to be very very similar, even biologically.
I think those artists come from the same era therefore their paintings might be very similar. It's a similar situation to Picasso and Braque. They have similar thought processes. They are very similar artists.
