About the artist: Max Agustini, a contemporary impressionist color master, was born in Paris, Corsica, 19 14. When he was a student at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, he showed extraordinary talent in impressionist skills. At the beginning of World War II, he joined the army to fight. But he soon became a prisoner of war and spent three years in prison. After the war, he worked in Chadoru in central France for many years. Excellent painting talent, especially portraits and landscapes, made him begin to attract people's attention. After that, he moved to the town of Gargi Le in Provence and settled down until his death in 1997+0. A few days before admission, he still insisted on painting, leaving a wonderful picture. Augustini is regarded as the greatest color painter of that era by the whole world. He has always been keen on depicting Paris, Craiz or the southern region, and devoted himself to creating a peaceful and happy world, which is not influenced by various artistic schools that troubled him in the 20th century. He kept close contact with painters of poetic realism movement, including Maurice Brianxion Shaw and Roland Oudotte. He kept thinking, trying to stay away from the worldly troubles that disturbed his life, leaving only a keen feeling. He used the rhythm of light, shadow and color to express the theme of love: fields and gardens in giverny town, vineyards in Provence, seaports, beaches and still life. Before his death, he held a large number of art exhibitions in Paris. Li Chunhua, water features, lavender fields, spring fields, bouquets and other works all make him among the outstanding impressionists in the contemporary era. In his works, he often paints flowers full of vigor and vitality with bright oil paints. In his view, the bouquet represents the cohesion of happiness and hope. His paintings show us happy years. The artist's name is mentioned in some related professional art books. 1998 the album of Max Augustini's retrospective exhibition "The Mystery of Creation-The Album of Max Augustini's retrospective exhibition" was published. This album contains 797 works by this contemporary impressionist master. Introduction: Carving time is a solidified time, and the warm yellow tone reminds us of sweet warmth.

This work has an appraisal certificate issued by Gilbert POLVERELLI, an appraiser authorized by the French court of bastia and a member of the "Antiques, Furniture and Paintings" Appraisal Expert Association. Life of the artist: 19 14: Born in Paris. His father died shortly before he was born and at the beginning of the war. He was admitted to the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, which showed his talent for impressionist painting. As a young man, Augustini created a mural in St. damiano's Church in Corsica, 1942, was arrested and imprisoned, and was sent to East Prussia with other painter friends who were also prisoners of war. Max Augustini (sitting in the middle) is creating a portrait: drafted into the army, arrested and imprisoned during the war, and spent three years as a prisoner of war. Return to Paris and start the wandering life of artists. I went to Chateau-Roux in central France to create landscape works and portraits for American garrison officials. Max Agustini created a portrait of Mr. AS in Gadgil in the south of France. After his death, Mr. AS, who took refuge in this small town during the war, donated this portrait to the city hall of Kajiles as a permanent display. 1969: I met pierre martin Kaye, a former auctioneer, and signed an exclusive agency agreement with him. Martin Kaye Gallery in Aix-Provence, hosted by Jeanne Griinberg, is the exclusive agent for this work. This gallery attracted the attention and appreciation of his works all over the world. 1970: Augustini went to Provence in southern France for a year. In the first six months, he sketched and created spring and summer scenery, and in winter, he worked in Kez's studio. 1997: Max Augustini was published in June 65438+ 10/998: The retrospective exhibition of Max Augustini was published, which included 797 works by this contemporary impressionist painter. Color is one of the two basic elements of painting. Through the use of color, artists can not only exert their infinite imagination, but also express rich emotions. Different colors can also bring different visual experiences to the audience and stimulate different emotions. The following two works are a good contrast. These two paintings are Max Augustini's canvas oil painting (left) and Milo Wakitz's paper oil painting (right). They all describe the same theme: flower still life. The composition of the two paintings is also very similar: the painters both compose from the front perspective, the vase is placed in the center of the picture, and the unified color abstracts the background; The bouquets in the bottle are tall and straight, and it can be seen that they are fresh and watery. The flowers in the two paintings are mostly red and yellow. Simple composition is actually the reuse of traditional flower still life painting composition, that is, the typical composition of Dutch still life painting flowers in the 6th century 16-1603. Obviously, color is more important to the two painters than composition. They both want to pay more attention to color. Actually, it's the same. Max Agustini's Sculpting Time is dominated by yellow: the plane where the vase is placed is yellow, and a large area of light yellow is used in the background. Even the green branches and red flowers are mixed with a lot of yellow. The whole picture is divided into two parts: above the picture is a flower composed of red, yellow and green; The foreground at the bottom of the screen is also composed of petals, leaves and red, green and Huang San background. They echo each other and make the center of gravity of the picture evenly distributed up and down. The blue vase in the middle connects the upper and lower parts, and the red and yellow flower patterns on the bottle form the transition of color and composition. Artists seek the balance of colors and the harmony of pictures through the repeated use of different colors in space. Miro Wakitz's blue romance seems to be similar to Max Augustini's carving time, but Miro Wakitz is not looking for the balance of colors, but the game of contrast between them, and he makes this game more thorough. The artist used all the three primary colors of color-red, yellow and blue. The green color of branches and leaves is actually mixed with blue pigment, which is not obvious and almost mixed with the color of the background. This is also the painter's deliberate arrangement. The painter didn't use colors to describe flower patterns, but played a bold color game by depicting flowers. By dealing with the relationship between the three primary colors in the picture, the artist explores the movement of colors in space and the visual effects brought by it. Moreover, the relationship between these colors is not balanced, but gradual: the background and vase form a large area of blue, followed by a semi-circular red flower, with two yellow paintings in the middle and a little yellow scattered among them. The relationship between red, yellow and blue is both patchwork and sharp contrast. Different colors will also inspire different emotions in the viewer's mind. Max Agustini's sculpture time brings enthusiasm and warmth through a lot of yellow and red. The blue color in Miro Wakitz's Blue Romance is reminiscent of sadness or tranquility. There is an interesting contrast between motion and stillness. Memories of the past--selected still life oil paintings by famous french artists. Time flies like water. Proust, a French writer, recorded a memory of his beloved by whispering in his sleep in the grand novel "Remembering the Past". Among them, cheerfulness, sadness, melancholy and helplessness combine the writer's listening, thinking and feeling. It records not so much a memory as a process of self-cognition, which is mixed with the author's memories and imagination. In fact, isn't it the memory of each of us? Memory is not a simple past, it is the embodiment of a certain feeling, and it is full of longing. Recalling the past is to find deep memories and pursue distant feelings ... After the excellent French landscape painting project in spring was widely praised, autumn photography will present a group of charming famous French still life works. Everyone will be deeply attracted by its amazing skills and deep introverted temperament. Let's start this artistic journey with this painting "Remembering the Past", which was created at 1890 and symbolizes the dreamy life in the beautiful years of Paris. Brunell, an artist, was one of the French19th to 20th century realists. 1852 was born in Paris and is famous for still life paintings and animal paintings. In particular, the depiction of the cat in the grave made his works published as stamps. His style is a subtle combination of academic and impressionism. From 65438 to 0879, brunell, who was only 27 years old, became a member of the French Artists Association and began to participate in art exhibitions organized by the Association. The first work on display is Still Life Apples and Grapes. From then until 1909, his works can be seen in the exhibition of the association. 1907 became a cooperative member of the association. Fruit still life painting is a major feature of brunell's creation. He can vividly describe various materials and their contrasts, such as the soft luster of fruit surface and the unique texture of containers such as wicker baskets or painted pottery, especially through mastering color and light sense. In addition, brunell is also very good at describing the texture and luster of copper cans. His skills in this field are often cited as examples. This poem "Remembering the Past" is like a poem about life, exquisite and gorgeous. Such a large still life oil painting is rare, which also reflects the painter's grand intention. It is particularly worth mentioning that in March 20 10, this work, as an example of European classic works, was highly praised by Professor Nai of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and Professor Zhang Qian of the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts at the "French Classic Art Appreciation and European Classic Art Seminar" hosted by the Beijing Cultural Development Foundation and presided over by Professor Zhu Qingsheng. As the most recommended work of this topic, we will discuss this work in depth in the following chapters. Augustini, a French painter, comes from Napoleon's hometown of Corsica, and was born in Paris in 19 14. When he was a student at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, he showed extraordinary talent in impressionist skills. As the greatest color painter of that era, he has always been keen on depicting Paris, Craiz or the southern region, and devoted himself to creating a peaceful and happy world, and has not been influenced by various artistic schools that troubled him in the 20th century. He has close ties with painters of poetic realism movement, including Maurice Brianxion Shaw and Roland Oudotte. He kept thinking, trying to stay away from the worldly troubles of turbulent life, leaving only a keen feeling. He used the rhythm of light, shadow and color to express the theme of love: fields and gardens in giverny town, vineyards in Provence, seaports, beaches and still life. He held a large number of art exhibitions in Paris before his death. Li Chunhua, water features, lavender fields, spring fields, bouquets and other works all make him among the outstanding impressionists in the contemporary era. This touching "carving time" is a solidified time, and the warm yellow tone reminds us of sweet warmth. The yellow table echoes the pale yellow background, and the red and yellow flowers in the bottle echo the red and yellow prints on the bottle. The whole picture is perfect and gentle, just like commemorating a beautiful love, always nostalgic and sweet as honey. 1998, the artist's successor published the complete works of artists, and this work was included. Amelio's Song of the Wanderers aroused our desire for the freedom of Gypsies. The artist was born in San Remo, Italy. His carefree childhood in the Blue Coast made him naturally sensitive to the light and color changes in the Mediterranean region. He first began to learn painting in the south of France, when his creative themes were mostly the scenery in the south of France. From 65438 to 0938, Amelio went north to Montmartre, the world art center of that era, to continue his artistic pursuit. Montmartre Art District became his main residence in his later years and also the cradle of his artistic growth. He built a studio at 23 Klauser Street in Montmartre Heights. Although Amelio claimed to be a self-taught painter, in fact, his paintings benefited to a great extent from his contacts with many famous artists at that time and the profound friendship he formed. He met many avant-garde artists in Paris, including Picasso, cubist painter Jacques Villone, jean paul Fran? ois Galle, Fan Dongen and futurist painter severini. These are the representative painters of post-impressionism, abstract painting and futurism. After becoming a member of the French Artists Association, Amelio regularly participated in the exhibitions of the Association. At the international art fair of 1938, he won the applause of the audience with his work Notre Dame de Rouen, and won the first glory in his life, thus laying the foundation for his achievements in painting. Marcel Guicheteau, a famous French art critic, commented on Amelio in this way: "This artist's works are always full of fantastic artistic conception. His harmonious composition, soft colors and delicate brushstrokes all make him a poet among painters. " The French dictionary of Benezit artists (page 266) contains Amelio's profile, two common signatures and other information. One year before his death, the famous gallery Ceres held a retrospective exhibition for him. Meriau Amelio's works are collected by public and private collectors all over the world. In the French art market, his oil paintings completed in the natural open air by traditional impressionist techniques continue to be favored. Drama is a typical work from the end of 19 to the beginning of the 20th century, which was collected by a Belgian castle. In the "good times" of Europe, the aristocratic class developed a new art of family life. On the one hand, the relationship between children and parents has once again become the core of the family. On the other hand, there are pets in the family that accompany children to play-cats and dogs. As a result, painters began to take family as their theme, and children and pets gradually became painters' favorite painting themes. This work is the masterpiece of Belgian painter Bellevue, which shows children's interest through pets. The puppy in the picture is like the eldest son in the family, and the three lovely kittens are his three sisters. Carefully conceived pictures and scenes make people feel a warm, relaxed and humorous atmosphere. The painter's brushwork is exquisite, and the fur of cats and dogs has a furry texture, which makes people want to touch it. This warm work is almost a symbol of a better life. We expect a collector to love it as much as his own dog and kitten. Amelia Delacroix is one of the representatives of the youth school. She has brought a unique personal style to her works with almost primitive creative methods. Pigments seem to be piled directly on the screen, thick and uneven, which makes the works full of three-dimensional sculpture. Color is a primary color that has hardly been mixed, and it is simple and thorough to use. Her style is simple, simple, direct from the bottom of my heart, without any show-off skills. Just like an innocent childhood, clean and simple, without any sophistication. Calla lily gives viewers a strong sense of relief visually. Interestingly, all of us want Picasso's works, but Picasso loves Delacroix's works best. He often visited the artist's studio in the south of France and collected many of her works. Coincidentally, the famous clark gable is also one of many celebrities who collect her works. There is also a large-scale work in this project, that is, the artist Remy Herto's Leisure Time. But compared with brunell's reminiscence, which we introduced earlier, it is more relaxed and unconstrained style. The background of the picture is mainly light tone, which is relatively elegant, but the object is filled with brighter colors. Composition tends to be abstract. Although the artist shows the depth of the picture by superimposing objects before and after, he reduces the existence of perspective, and all objects seem to be suspended on the same plane. At the same time, the shape of every object is a deliberate geometric shape, which is more like a symbol. Compared with other works, Herto's still life paintings are abstract, imaginative, arbitrary and whimsical. This artist graduated from the French National Institute of Decorative Arts, and he has been trying to create with different techniques all his life. This work has the effect of a wet mural, which is unforgettable. Imagine what it would be like to sit on the comfortable sofa in the living room, sitting on the opposite wall, sipping a cup of fragrant coffee and enjoying this work ... Before introducing this "meditation", we have to talk about the artist McRae. This once considered as a legend in Montmartre Highland had a rough life, but in the most difficult years, he still did not forget art and painted his eager yearning for life with bright colors. His good friend Yutrillo once said that McRae was the last artist in Montmartre. This kind of "meditation" is a true portrayal of the artist's attitude towards life. He brings us a happy mood with bright colors. The composition of the work is not complicated. The object on the table does not occupy a large area of screen space, but it feels close to us, just like a close-up. The three fruits in the foreground are brightly colored and very eye-catching. The touch of red in the upper left corner seems to have nothing to do with the green background, but it echoes the red color of the fruit and balances the picture. The porcelain bottle in the middle is slightly round and strong. From a distance, it has become the protagonist of the picture, not only occupying the central position, but also forming a bright but unobtrusive contrast with the whole environment with the cool blue color. If we don't think about it, "meditation" is simply an ornament of leisurely life, a sketch that reflects our inner elegant mood like a mirror; But it is a spiritual wine given to mankind by a ravaged soul! When we commemorate MacRae, our hearts are filled with pity and respect. The most powerful work on this topic is Pushkin's Brand. Strong colors and strong strokes, brown, black and crimson dominate the picture. The outline of each object is emphasized by the thick black line again. Black is a mysterious color, a symbolic color, which absorbs light, is unpredictable and mysterious, and hides a powerful explosive force. This is why the leaves in the painting will look like seeds, rough and strong, and pregnant with the vitality that is about to erupt. The result of artistic creation is always closely related to the process and the artist's life experience. If you know that he escaped from a prison camp and walked across Poland to his hometown, it is not difficult to understand why his works contain such full power. His still life paintings use expressionism. Everything is circled in black, which stands out and stands out on the screen. It contains the characteristics of Germanic nationality and French nationality, and has different expressive force. This may also have something to do with Picasso-they co-founded it in loris for seven months. In a word, this is an extraordinary and extraordinary work. Milo Wakitz is a French artist of Yugoslav origin. The knife-like tough lines on his face are unforgettable. After World War II, he came to France and began to create paintings with expressionism as the main style. His works contain a bohemian tension and passion, strong lines and poetic pictures, which explain the various customs of Paris in the 1950s and 1960s after the war. The artist finally settled in the C? te d 'Azur, where the scenery became the artist's favorite theme. Wakitz became the president of the Association for the Defence of Plastic Arts in the 1990s. He is also a good friend of the famous French artist Hans Hatton, the sculptor Caesar and the famous sculptor Oman. Seeing his blue romance gives people a nervous and intense impression. The painter mixed red, yellow and blue paintings. The painter didn't use color to describe the pattern of flowers, but played a bold color game by describing flowers. The contrast of colors is strong and exciting, just like the confrontation between ice and fire. The painter's pens are also angular, and each pen is like a sharp fragment, especially the blue background, like a broken glass. Is this a sad and decisive emotional confession? Once fierce, love and hate are clear. In the end, there was only the heartbreak of "Andrew and Jun refused each other, so as not to be called lovesickness". The oil paint on the paper gives off a dark blue metallic luster, which leads us to the final answer.
