In this discussion, write about artworks that complicate the stereotype of Impressionism. Research Monet and search online at The National Gallery.
Find one artwork by Monet that seems to reveal greater depth than the stereotype of Impressionism. Read about the work at the museum’s website and elsewhere online as needed to help you build your ideas. Analyze how its style and subject matter makes us think more deeply about the modern world, its pleasures and dissatisfactions.
Part 2:
How exactly does Van Gogh differ from the Impressionists, according to Simon Schama’s film? Choose one artwork that Schama discusses in the film and explain how it compares to the themes of pleasure and leisure that are so important to impressionist art. Address both formal elements and iconography and iconology. Cite a quotation from Simon Schama to support your points.
