Chen Yifei (1946-2005) | Music Player painting

Chen's works considered a unique combination of both Western and Eastern influences. Chen's style combines the realism associated with European art styles, with Eastern subject matter and themes close to the artist's history.

One such example of this unique blend is his painting Poppy which derives its content from a Tang dynasty song about a woman who solemnly questions her fate.

Camille Corot, il Salon, La Scuola di Barbizon

Dal 1828 al 1834 il pittore Francese Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (Parigi, 1796-1875) si occupò principalmente di rielaborare gli schizzi eseguiti durante il viaggio in Italia secondo canoni classicheggianti, così da poterli esporre ai Salon parigini e, eventualmente, fare furore con un pubblico e una giuria ancora vicini alla sensibilità neoclassica.

Un esempio di questi saggi è Il ponte di Narni (1826), opera in cui riprese il bozzetto di un acquedotto romano diroccato e lo trasformò in uno scenario pastorale falsamente idillico con l'aggiunta di grandi alberi frondosi e immense distese di prati.

John Singer Sargent: "The thicker you paint, the more it flows"

• "Impressionism was the name given to a certain form of observation when Monet, not content with using his eyes to see what things were or what they looked like as everybody had done before him, turned his attention to noting what took place on his own retina".

• "Impressionismo" è il nome che è stato dato ad una certa forma di osservazione quando Monet, non contento di usare gli occhi per vedere le cose o il loro aspetto come tutti gli altri avevano fatto prima di lui, ha posto la sua attenzione su ciò che accadeva nella sua retina, così come un oculista avrebbe esaminato la propria vista".
