woman with a parasol facing right claude monetThe similarity of this work to Woman with a Parasol, painted 10 years earlier, is striking. Here Claude Monet is painting the daughter of his second wife, Suzanne Hosched. A misunderstanding quickly arouses our curiosity: the wind is blowing from right to left, while the grass seems to be leaning to the right. We are here in full impressionism: the artist goes beyond the strict reality, to exploit the feeling, suggested with plays of light and color.

Signac became one of its most illustrious representatives

the symmetries of the objects overlap and result in a rivalry of axes that gives the impression of a secret life to a static whole

Vassily Kandisky created this work

is equal to zero

In this impressionist painting

sparkles and shines under a shower of confetti

It is an escape from reality

Composition VIII is one of the sensational abstract paintings by Vassily Kandinsky

The background of the painting

dotted with stars and conducive to a soft and serene atmosphere
