Write a 2-page response on MFA. The 1st page should provide a comparison of the Old Masters gallery (art of Europe ) and the Impressionist Gallery (Renoir, Pissaro, Sisley, Signac, Monet). Give a general descriiption of what you saw and felt in each space. What was it like to move from one gallery to the other? (like: subject matter (religious figures or stories, court portraits, mythical illustrations, etc); perspective (is there depth or flatness); composition (figures centered on canvas or how otherwise arranged); details (clear outlines, sharp images or fuzzy and vague); brushwork (smoothed over or choppy or textured); movement (a sense of fluidity or a sense of being frozen?). how different is the art in impressionism and in Europe?
For the 2nd page, compare a painting from the Old Masters gallery with a work from the Impressionist gallery. (compare St Francis by Francisco de Zurbarán with Monets La Japonaise) and compare how each portrays its subject. For example, discuss differences in arrangement, spatial depth, detail, brushwork, movement, mood, use of light and color. How does the artist’s aesthetic approach affect your experience of the painting?
