The painting “The chestnut gatherers” was nice. Georges painted a set of four paintings each of which was one season. This picture of autumn used very warm tones of reds and the leaves scattered on the ground were very soft and detailed. He also painted a purple sea titled “The Violet Waves”. Bonnard I thought his pictures were blurry and you could see a clouds view of Paris. Not a detailed picture. Jean Frederic Brazille was friends with Monet and used to loan him money. Jean and Monet were working closely with Pierre Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley. Jean’s subjects were a collection of mostly woman and them washing themselves. I was disappointed to see the Claude Monet painting at the museum because I was expecting to see color and their was only this gray painting of the sea. Pierre painted alot of nudes, men and women. Alfred was a French landscape painter. His painting of the snow was cold, slushy and gave me a gloomy feeling. Picasso’s painting of a woman’s head, I thought, should have been called a horse’s head because it was shaped that way. His art reminds me of a cluttered desk top. Everything seems to overlap and its just unusual. Picassos’s mistress painting was similar to poses in other paintings, only difference that she was painted green and abstractly. Rousseau did’nt even start painting until he was 40 years old. They had on display his painting of cute monkeys in a lush, exotic forest. Diego Rivera had a way of painting cala lilies very good and the mexican girl had cute little feet. As I walked into the 17th and 18th century of paintings I felt a little creeped out.
