THE HISTORY OF IMPRESSIONISM – Discovery Art Artist (documentary)

146123235709

“’Impressionism’ was the
name given to a certain form of observation when Monet, not content
with using his eyes to see what things were or what they looked like as
everybody had done before him, turned his attention to noting what took
place on his own retina (as an oculist would test his own vision).”

The Power of Art – Mark Rothko 

143564197402

“I am not an abstractionist.. .I am not interested in the relationships
of color or form or anything else.. .I’m interested only in expressing
basic human emotions — tragedy, ecstasy, doom and so on — and the fact
that a lot of people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures
show that I communicate those basic human emotions.. .The people
who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I
had when I painted them. And if you, as you say, are moved only by their
color relationships, then you miss the point!”— Mark Rothko

Monument Valley By Edgar Payne (1883 – 1947) c. 1925 oil on canvas, 30 x 34 inches

“These are the kinds of clouds you see ships in, turtles in, the kinds of clouds you see the mouths of wolves in. These are the kinds of rocks you see lost cities in, lost worlds in, the kinds of rocks where great warriors contend with great beasts. Far off, at right, rain streaks into shadow. Soon the light will shift, and the shapes will shift with the light, and you will make new worlds of these shapes, worlds for your imagination to revel in and dwell in.”
