The term "impressionist paintings" describes those compositions that primarily drew their inspiration from modern advances in the use of chromatic colors and painting methods. They pay special attention to the lighting and coloration in order to accurately portray nature in its totality. The impressionists preferred employing modern colors for displaying these shadows rather than enhancing black and brown to represent them. The impressionist works of art that our company would employ are listed below.
Claude Monet's "Impression Sunrise"
Claude Monet created the impressionist oil painting "Impression Sunrise" between 1872 and 1872. The composition was developed depicting the port of Le Havre with its mist providing a rather hazy background to the French harbor (Claude Monet , 2010). The picture presents a striking chromatic balance between two bright colors yellow and orange that hue brilliantly with the harbors dark vessels. Monet ingeniously concealed the harbor’s details from the intended audience. Nevertheless, the painting is strikingly candid showing smaller boats in the background that seem to be propelled on the waters by the water waves from the movement (Iskin, 2007). He achieved this by the use of several brushstrokes that properly depicted the different colors to represent sparkling of the sea. The painting is good for our company because it shows that despite the fact that we may have started small, we have got a brighter future, and ambitions based on our smart missions, visions, and targets as per the company’s corporate strategy.
"Mont Sainte-Victoire"
“Mont Sainte-Victoire” is an 1885-87 painting by Paul Cezanne depicting a panoramic, tranquil, and delicate view of the Bellevue. The picture depicts an admirable showcase and thought of the opposing and distant landscape as seen from a very high tree in the background. In this paint, the far, near, right, and left are sharply defined with proper mood and dominance (Duncan, 2005). The composition also shows an intricate balance between the depth, breadth, and height in the equally developed scenery. There is a unique vastness in space in the way the broad valley is showed with the viaduct. The painting can be used by our company because it shows its commitment to detail, professionalism, and diversity. It demonstrates that we can work with clients and employee from all walks of life.
"Water Lilies and Japanese Bridge"
“Water Lilies and Japanese Bridge” is the 1899 oil on canvas impressionist painting by Claude Monet. As the name suggests, the picture is a combination of both the Japanese bridge and water Lilies. The painting is lush and luminous immersing any viewer into an immense and intense physical condition of a natural garden. In the composition, the blue bridge bands suspend like canopy towards the top of the drawing canvas obstructing the sky and horizon (National Gallery of Art, 2017). Its billowing foliage fills a greater portion of the visual field, in the end, immersing any viewer into is verdant and conspicuous landscape. Although green and cool blue tones are predominant in the painting, they are heavily balanced by yellow, pink, and white lilies that float in the unique and complex pattern on the water surface. If our company uses this painting, it would show the company’s commitment to developing environmentally friendly solutions and strategies for day to day solutions to business problems as part of the organization’s corporate strategy.
Post-Impressionist Painting
Post-impressionists’ paintings arose from an art movement referred to a flow that is predominantly French. It was roughly developed between 1886 and 1905. The kind of art developed in reaction to impressionists’ naturalistic portrayal of color and light ushering in symbolism, neo-impressionism, synthetism, cloisonnism, and Pont-Aven school to painting. The kind of composition was mainly led by Paul Cezanne, Georges Seurat, and Paul Gauguin. A discussion of a few Post- impressionist paintings is shown below.
"View of Arles, Flowering Orchards"
“View of Arles, Flowering Orchards” is the 1889 oil on canvas painting by Vincent van Gogh. The composition supplies a unique view across the canal and several polar boards towards the center of the historical Arles coupled with towers of Saint-Trophime. It also contains an image of St Charles on its left but contracted by the Caserne Calvin building that houses Zouave on the extreme right (Athenaeum, 2014). Although the Caserne and Orchards are now gone the painting uniquely intertwines nature and many developments made in a unique way. The picture is a proper portrayal of the company’s tradition of valuing the employees and its clientele from all walks of life. The orchards and Caserne indicate even if a worker or customer are no longer part of the company, their philosophies and suggestions will continue being upheld if they are for the benefit the of the firm.
"Almond Blossoms"
“Almond Blossoms” is an 1890 painting by Vincent van Gogh containing a lot of abstract imagery. It shows large blossom branches against a bright blue sky. The Almond trees flowering in the morning depict a new life and beginning. The painting also portrays the company corporate image of coming up with new and client-based strategies for dealing with the dynamic business environment (Van Gogh Museum, 2017).
"Mont Sainte-Victoire seen from Bellevue"
“Mont Sainte-Victoire seen from Bellevue” is the 1885 painting by Paul Cézanne. The main subject of this unique composition is Montagne Sainte-Victoire in Southern France. The painting has got a huge mountain that stands out throughout it (paulcezanne.org, 2010). Furthermore, in the mountain surrounding landscape, he draws his house which he also painted on numerous occasions. The picture shows that despite the several challenges in the business environment, the company will stick to its own philosophies that are uniquely designed to address any challenges that may be encountered in the course of executing the firm’s goals.
