Sunday in the Park -July 21, 2009




This was at the Museum of Art in Chicago. This is a famous painting called Sunday at the Park by George Seurat who did famous style of painting called Pointellism because of all the dots like pixels in the digital camera. There are several colours in one area but when stand away from it, it looks like one. The woman in purple on the picture was painted by Pierre-August Renoir. His paintings are very dreamlike and the colours so soft. These are some of the pictures I like. There were hundreds that we took but I like these ones. The 1st picture is called the "American Gothic"
and some of the shapes repeat itself like the woman has a oval face like her button on her shirt and also the dress. The man has the pitchfork and the shape is repeated on the shirt, the face and the window on the house.
