Pollock's lavender mist and Monet's water lily

In 1877, Monet painted a series of trains filled with smoke and steam. The towering and hard glass and steel station buildings in the painting show the life of modern European cities. What the artist implies is not only the formation of "mechanical aesthetics" in Paris in the industrial revolution, but also a new painting method, and this painting concept has been closely followed by mechanical civilization from the beginning. Pollock, an American abstract painter in the 20th century, was deeply influenced by Monet. From his Fog of Lavender, we can see the similarities with Monet's Water Lily. This similarity does not only refer to the hazy jumping picture effect. What's more, "painting" was promoted by Pollock as a behavior, and the canvas was constantly changed during the movement. Today, Monet is performing performance art, while Bockro exaggerates the beating of his body when painting, and the splash of paint bucket is an artistic act under passion. The works created by this style of painting naturally remind viewers of their own psychological state when creating works.

Monet's paintings don't depict the objects he sees, but depict the light by depicting the color changes of the objects. Monet is a thorough impressionist and the most persistent impressionist painter. The works that best represent his artistic pursuit and express light flu are undoubtedly his masterpiece "Water Lily" series in his later years, which shows the light changes in the morning and evening to the extreme through the sparkling water surface. Classical landscape painting is like classical portrait painting. Static and eternal achievements are the main manifestations of painters. The light in their paintings is stable and eternal, religious and symbolizes God. In the works of impressionist painters, light does not represent God; It stands for truth and science. The visual impact of impressionist colors is very explosive. Bright colors dominate the whole picture, and the jumping feeling of light and shadow is rushed to the extreme, and there is no sense of tranquility at all. As a product of the industrial age, the phenomenon caused by the fluidity of light has been applied to artistic creation. The relationship between mechanical civilization and modern art, from the way of painting, brush strokes to the materials used, has gradually influenced artists' views and attitudes towards the world.

The movement of light is also a great contribution in impressionist works. In their eyes, the color of an object is in motion, and what they describe is the color of an object under a dynamic light. Impressionist young artists were influenced by barbizon School while getting rid of the academic salon exhibition, and landscape painting became the breakthrough of their artistic pursuit. There is a mentoring relationship between them and barbizon painters. Connor is a friend and mentor of the young impressionist painter. They painted in Fontainebleau forest together and supported them all the time. For example, Sisley Monet and Connor are friends who forget each other, and their painting style is influenced by Connor. Silver tones often appear in his photos. But the difference is that the boundary between impressionist landscape painting and traditional landscape painting is more obvious. It is different from Koro's continuation of the characteristics of classical landscape painting, which depicts static scenery under long-term stable light. The only difference is that the colors are more colorful, wandering between college and avant-garde. Monet and others pay more attention to the influence of light on the scenery in a short time, and pay attention to the color change of the scenery in different time environments. So impressionist landscape painting is dynamic, and even the starry sky in Van Gogh's works is like a river. They are not interested in continuous light. When Monet painted Rouen Cathedral, he usually started with 10 at the same time, and painted different weather conditions on different canvases at different times, so he was called "the slave of light". Monet's paintings don't depict the objects he sees, but depict the light by depicting the color changes of the objects.

The relationship between mechanical civilization and modern art, from the way of painting, brush strokes to the materials used, has gradually influenced artists' views and attitudes towards the world. They agree with scientific theories and industrial achievements and make use of them.

Impressionists applied oriental art (mainly China and Japanese) to their own pictures more directly. Monet wrote The Girl in the Kimono, which clearly shows his love for oriental art. The Water Lily was written by Monet when his eyes were almost blind in his later years. Bold brushwork has a very strong freehand brushwork style of China's calligraphy, and the color of the picture is full of oriental sensibility. The reason why China people are very happy to accept Impressionist works stems from the similarity between Impressionist painters and China's paintings and calligraphy. Pollock said, "Before I painted, I didn't know what I was going to paint. I didn't see what I was painting until I drew it. " This is basically consistent with the creative state of China's paintings and calligraphy.
