1. "Sternnacht" by Vincent van Gogh

Year: 1889 | Medium: oil on canvas | Location: Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York City

Vincent van Gogh , a tormented spirit and brilliant artist, was one of the greatest representatives of the art of the 20th century. His individual style with bright colors has significantly withdrawn him from numerous artists of his time.

The famous star night is a painting that was created in the second half of the nineteenth century during his hospital stays in a nervous hospital.

The vertebrae and the circular brush strokes, which catch the eye very strongly, are the result of a certain image technology that was developed by it.

We can feel the flickering effect of his work, which reflects the feverish temperament of Van Gogh.

2. "Impression, sunrise" by Claude Monet

Year: 1872 | Medium: oil on canvas | Location: Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris

Claude Monet was one of the most important representatives of Impressionism . This formative work was created in 1874 and may have justified the birth of this art era.

What is striking is the almost complete waiver of dark shadows and the flat use of color. The light becomes an undisputed protagonist each of his pictures and his trademark.

In this impressionist painting you can see the port view at dawn . The still weak sun penetrates the landscape, but reveals hardly any contours. Rather, it is the many, nuanced colors that give the painting a special atmosphere and make it bright and bright. Monet shows his poetic vein in direct contact with nature and expresses this in incomparable form in his pictures.

3. "Bal du Moulin de la Galette" by Pierre Auguste Renoir

Year: 1876 | Medium: oil color | Size: 31 × 175 cm | Stilpoche: Impressionism | Location: Musée d'Orsay

Auguste Renoir was also a size of impressionism. His works are full of optimism, vitality and energy and show the Boheme Parisian life of the late 19th century. This famous oil painting from 1876 is considered an absolute masterpiece of impressionism .

We find that contours and shaped lines are almost completely missing and the shapes have been created by colors instead. Renoir, similar to other representatives of impressionism, neither uses shadows nor the color black.

A certain dynamic can be observed in his works, which seems to move the figures on the surface of the canvas almost.

4. "San Giorgio Maggiore at dusk (San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk)" by Claude Monet

Year: 1908 | Medium: oil on canvas | Stilpoche: Impressionism | Location: Bridgestone Museum of Art, Tokyo, Japan

Mone T often painted privately and within his familiar surroundings. He preferred the view from his hotel to avoid crowds and people.

It is all the more surprising that his motive for this painting, the San Giorgio Maggiore at dusk, was only seen from the rivet promenade with the name Riva degli Schiavoni. A place where, as is well known, large and noisy crowds were, especially at dusk.

Happiness for posterity that the artist, who is otherwise rather withdrawn, has probably made an exception here.

5. "Two sisters" by Pierre Auguste Renoir

Year: 1881 | Medium: oil on canvas | Dimensions: 100.5 x 81 cm | Stilpoche: Post Impressionism | Location: Art Institute of Chicago, USA

Renoir started painting this work in April 1881 and sold it in July of the same year. Since then it has often changed its owner. It finally landed at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1933, where it has found a home to this day.

An interesting fact on the side: Unlike the title, the two models were no sisters at all. The older of the two was an 18-year-old woman who soon became an actress. The identity of the younger woman is not known.

6. "The kiss" by Gustav Klimt

Year: 1907-1908 | Medium: oil and sheet on canvas | Location: Belvedere, Vienna

Gustav Klimt was one of the most important artists of the Vienna Secession . His work is exquisite and are particularly characterized by the use of gold that gives his works a special brilliance. This also gave him the nickname "Viennese Gold boy" .

To this day, Klimt's paintings influence contemporary art and have become an indispensable source of inspiration for design and decoration in our everyday life.

The kiss, one of the most famous works, was created in the early twentieth century and is attributed to the Art Nouveau art . The golden color lifts the kissing couple in a shining manner from the background.

The striking, rectangular geometric shapes on the motif look as if they were mosaic pieces on a kind of coat that covers the man while the woman is covered with circular shapes without edges.

7. "The dance lessons" by Edgar Degas

 

Edgar Degas was a French painter of Impressionism and worldwide recognized artist. His subject was above all the representation of scenes from the ballet.
His pictures represent a decadent Paris, but are also full of elegance and longing romance.

In contrast to many of his colleague, Degas did not paint scenes from nature or landscapes. Defending this impressionist trend, his pictures mostly show closed environments of urban life from the respective photographic section.

"Dance lessons" is the opus magnum by Edgar Degas and portrayed ballerinas during exercises during class. Specifically, it shows the scene in which Jules Perrot, the renowned ballet master of that time, teaches ballet in the class.

8. "Composition VII" by Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky laid the foundation for abstract art by experimenting with new art forms, which opposed the previously prevailing figurative art and against the visual reproduction of reality.

In this way, the artist raised a completely new expression on life, in which every color seems to be connected to an emotional state. In addition, every nuance is associated with a precise sound, which creates a close connection between art and music.

Composition VIII is a fundamental work of geometric abstractionism . In fact, the artwork is characterized by stiff lines than in its previous paintings. Abstract representations of sheet music as well as a large number of apparently arbitrarily arranged squares, triangles and circles can be seen vaguely.

9. "The scream" by Edvard Munch

Edvard Munch was one of the greatest representatives of Expressionism and played an important role in the art of the early 20th century.

The scream, its most famous work in 1893, has become a symbol of a tortured and depressed society. This axious face has given this painting a timeless force, made it immortal and reflects the emotional state of the artist after a few tragic events of his life.

The cry was painted by Munch to present himself and above all his mood when he was on the road in nature one day and his two friends (in the background) left him.

The style of this work was not something in which Munch stayed for a long time. It was a relatively short phase of the Expressionist artist. Incidentally, he found the technology terrible and took the view that she showed his unstable spirit.

10. "Les demoiselles d'Avignon" by Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso was a globally known Spanish painter and sculptor and is one of the leading personalities of the 20th century in the world of visual art.

This artist is known for his early talent and versatility, which ranges from cubist art to classicism to African art in the course of his professional life.

This Cubist masterpiece was created at the beginning of the 20th century and is one of the most famous paintings in his cubist phase. The picture shows five prostitutes with stylistically distinctive angular bodies. Picasso's style moved away from the figurative art in this phase. The women have a deformed face, and it almost seems as if they are wearing African masks.

11. "Number 3" by Jackson Pollock

Jackson Pollock was one of the leading representatives of abstract expressionism and founding father of the so -called action painting .

The works of this artist have always shared critics into two camps. There were passionate supporters and bitter opponents of his art. There was little in between.

Pollock has not only created new types of interpretation of what we observe on the screen, but also all the creative phases of the artist.

His most famous paintings were created between the post -war years 1947 and 1950. His specially developed image technology of the drop of color (so -called dripping) was present. This technique is essentially characterized by the fact that color is dripping on a canvas or an underground lying on the floor with the help of brushes and pens. Sometimes the color was sprayed and thrown.

This is how the painting number 3 was created.

12. "The resistance of the memory" by Salvador Dalí

Surrealist Salvador Dalí was an artist through and through . In the art world, he is considered one of the most important figures of the 20th century, not only because of his artistic contribution.

14. "Seerose pictures (Water Lilies)" by Claude Monet

"Water Lilies" , or in German "water lily images" are a collection of around 250 paintings, all of which were created in his flower gardens in Giverny.

These paintings capture the calm beauty and transcendent silence of his water gardens. It is particularly interesting that Monet created most of these works in a time when his eyesight was affected by the gray star. This restriction gave the paintings a unique perspective and charisma, since Monet focused more on capturing light and color instead of precise details.

This painting series invites the viewer to see nature in a new, impressionistic way, whereby the reflections in the water and the fleeting lighting games are emphasized. With these works, Monet not only left a testimony of his artistic work, but also an insight into his personal connection to nature.

Today these wonderful paintings are distributed through many art museums all over the world.

He persuaded the landlord to create gardens around the property and painted the gardens as they were in their full bloom. The boy in the painting is the artist's son.

This work is characteristic of Monet's preference for long horizons and escape perspectives in his work. These catch the eye of the viewer and direct it into the lower area of ​​the picture.

17. "Adele Bloch-Bauer I" by Gustav Klimt

This painting was the last of Klimt's work with gold and decided to have an era of his work. It is one of two paintings by Adele Bloch-Bauer, a wealthy member of the Vienna Society of the Early 20th Century and Patroness and close girlfriend of Gustav Klimt. The work was later stolen by the National Socialists and was then owned by various art collectors for several years. The new gallery is currently in New York.

A very striking painting, which is particularly remembered by the viewer for a long time due to the striking look of the portrait. Unfortunately, it has lost aging. In 1994, however, a restoration project managed to largely restore the brilliance of the original work.

To their astonishment, they found during the restoration process that the black background was originally deep green. The artist used many organic pigments in this painting, which faded over time and changed in their color.

21. "Street in Paris on a rainy day (Paris Street; Rainy Day)" by Gustavea Caillebotte

The figures in this painting are dressed in the typical contemporary Parisian fashion at the end of the 19th century. Caillebotte spent months to place the figures in the painting and to examine each detail carefully.

The reflection of the light, which shows a very realistic interpretation, is particularly noteworthy in this work.
