His innovative style of painting by defining outlines expresses both the painter’s emotional response to the slave trade and the forces
In 1893, Kandinsky completes his doctorate degree in Law from the Moscow University, soon after he accepts a job position on the Faculty of Law. It is at this point in Kandinsky’s life that he begins to develop an enthusiastic fascination with art, particularly in the French Impressionists after viewing several paintings. His passion to learn about the arts leads him to quit his current job and start an art educational study at “Munich Academy of Art”. It is at this Academy that Kandinsky develops his interest in decorative arts known today as Art Noveau. In just a few short years in the new field of art, Kandinsky has already made a name for himself by 1901 and is considered a significant figure in the art community for his beloved dedication to the craft since leaving his life of Law and

RIWT Task One By Katie Ziegler Impressionism and Post-Impressionism Impressionism developed in the mid to late 19th century in France, and lasted until the early 20th century (Pioch, 2006). Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, Mary Cassatt, and Pierre Auguste Renoir wanted to focus more on painting the “fleeting effects of nature” through quickly painted works ("Movements > impressionism," ).

[causes] disconcert and tremulousness and meditations”. These descriptions keep readers’ attention throughout the story.

Using a photo realistic technique that showed a lot of detail, he painted mostly himself as well as family and friends. In his more recent work, Close has departed from these camera-like images and moved toward the use of multi-colored squares and diamonds that contain swirls of contrasting hues. From a distance these brushstrokes resemble a
Artists such as Pablo Picasso and Cindy Sherman have shown in their art the gender roles of women during their time and how they were seen by men. Pablo Picasso is one of the most recognized figures in 20th century art and has many of his paintings on display worldwide.
