Art Review

The artist that I have chosen to review is Claude Monet and his painting called Fishing Boats Leaving the Harbor, Le Havre.

I chose Claude Monet because he was a founder of French impressionist painting which I find beautiful and I wanted to see what kind of art pieces he created. As I look at this piece, my eyes wander from one end of the painting to the other. I am completely absorbed in Monet's use of color in this painting. The different shades of blue and green work so well together its almost unbelievable that one man could conjure up such a great mix that feeds the viewers eyes with awe. The people in the painting make it come alive because of  the way that they are positioned, some walking to a destination, others gazing as the boats and the water. The boats also make the painting come alive because they all seem like they have a mission that needs to be accomplished at the end of the day. Claude Monet is a true artist in my eyes because he took such a simple, everyday sight and turned it into a masterpiece which people can enjoy. This painting would definitely be my definition of art because of the colors, creativity, and emotion that it holds.
