The Yell Release from Deep Soul-The Scream Oil Painting

The Scream is one of the most impressive oil paintings on many art lovers’ mind. It is one of the most familiar figures in artworks of modernism style. The origination of this oil painting stemmed from a awful panic attack suffered by the artist in the year of 1892. Its painter, Edvard Munch once said, “The sun was setting and the clouds turned as red as blood. I sensed a scream passing through nature. I felt as though I could actually hear the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds like real blood. The colors shrieked.”
The artist of The Scream is Edvard Munch, who was a Norwegian painter and an essential forerunner of expressionism oil painting. His best known masterpiece is The Scream, which is from a series of The Frieze of Life, in which Munch explored the topics on love, fear, death, melancholia, and anxiety. The artist represented the scream through a series of undulating lines that pressed in on the figure like shock waves, reducing its face to a primal figure of utmost fear. Munch once wrote on a copy of this oil painting, “Could only have been painted by a madman.”
The Scream is an oil painting which indeed touches the weakest line deep in people’s soul. Nowadays almost everyone has his of her own misery, that is to say, we may find out some brand new significance from it.

Moon-like Roman and Greek Fairies in Oil Painting

It is considered that European culture is originated from ancient Greek and Roman. Legend of gods and goddess plays an essential role in the European culture. From the time that painting came up, artworks focused on mythology are created by artists generation by generation. These eternal mythology oil paintings are like diamonds which depict not only amazing grace of fairies but also human beauty reflected by them. Especially goddess oil painting, it is beloved by many aesthetics worshipers.
We can only imagine the image of goddess from the description in mythologies, but gifted artists can shape a tangible figure for her on their masterpieces. Maybe most of us have thought that goddesses are unique and free from vulgarity, therefore they can just exist in fantasy. Nevertheless, when people who love both legend and art see the wonderful creation on goddess, all of them will get a big surprise. For the goddess in oil painting seems so graceful and so lifelike, that for one hand viewers may think they are some beauties among the earth people; for another hand they are not real human being, because they have the purest expression.
Pursuit of aesthetics either of earth beauty or of heaven beauty is one great interest and vocation for artists. They are looking for beauty, trying to keep beauty and at last shape a figure for beauty on oil painting all life long. It is no doubt that goddess oil painting is the best representative of transition from fantasy to real beauty.

Fascinating Seasonal Oil Painting-Haystack by Claude Monet

Impressionism artwork is the favor of most art lovers from generation to generation. Claude Monet is no doubt the founder of impressionism, and he is virtually synonymous with this artistic movement of impressionism. The name of impressionism is deprived from the oil painting entitled Impression, Sunrise in 1873. Monet’s Haystack series was created between 1890 and 1891. These oil paintings convey the passion of its artist for rendering his daily experience.
The stack in oil painting stands straightly behind Monet’s house in Giverny. The series can be considered as a whole tracks the effects light, both seasonal and changeable in different times on the day. In Haystack at Sunset, Frosty Weather, the haystack occupies the left ground of the picture close to the horizon line. This subtle lifts the painting from being only a naturalistic work to something which is totally more abstract. Another outstanding one of this series can be Haystack in the Morning, Snow Effect. Even has many similarities, this painting has a dark shape of the haystack is covered in the gelid light of a winter afternoon. The winter sun is low with behind coming light.
Of course, the Haystack series has not only the two mentioned above. It is a representative for light rendering in impressionism oil painting. When being fascinated in the beautiful rural scene of France, having an insight on art technique and expression force can elevate the art sake indeed.

Professors, my dear fellows and faculty building are the common subtle things come up in my dream very frequently. Every time I come back to our old dear faculty building in my dream, oil paintings on the wall along the stairs is the first souvenir to welcome me. Just like my good old friends, although it cannot speak, I can receive tender feelings it brings to me. Here I think of a pretty vivid thing in my university time.  
That was the end of the fifth semester in my university time, and in the examination week we were suddenly told that a reciting exam would be added in the compulsory exams. All the guys were in chaos because we were given a pamphlet with fifty essays which were required to keep in heart. The black day came ultimately; none of us was in his or her normality. When we were waiting to be called like stiff stones, a vivid fellow bursted into laughter and said, "Look, the old chap in the oil painting is so funny!" Nearly all the ones' attention altered to the old man portrait oil painting at once. And then we began to talk about these paintings; spontaneously the tense atmosphere was dissipated.
Of course, at last all of us got through the occasional disgusting exam under a threatening but no dangerous situation. Now whenever I meet with trouble, the amusing old man in the oil painting will appears in my mind seemingly saying "take it easy" to me.

The Enlightening Man of Art-Impression on Oil Painting

Continue to recollect my university life. This time, this moment, the hero of my reminiscence is my professor of European culture, Mr. Lu. He is one of the most captivating men I have ever come into contact with, And not only I myself but also all my good old guys are fascinated by him. It is interesting that students in our faculty always argue about what is the most attractive moment in his class. Someone think it is when he displaying the essence of western music, but the other regard his interpretation on classical oil painting is pretty fantastic.
For me, I was touched at one fell swoop by him when he gave a lecture on classical oil painting passionately. It was a merry afternoon; the time when we set foot in our classroom we felt the fatherly eye contact on each of us. Our dearest Sir began our class with a deep and magnetic voice. He told us how to catch the spotlight of an oil painting, concisely and meaningfully. He said if we have chance, all of us should appreciate the art of human body by our heart. Never had been an elder suggested on human body. Even I was a boy, I felt shy then. But when I saw a nude oil painting by Da Vinci, HomoVitruvianus, I was shocked by the amazing art.
From then on, I have kept the hobby of appreciating oil paintings. Sometimes I can’t understand an oil painting by art masters, however, I can feel the inspiration it brings to me; it is the pure substance from soul transferred by its creator.

The Power Bracing Deep Soul-Impression on Oil Painting

    It is a story about one of my good old friends during my university life. Although we hardly meet each other frequently now, he is always on my mind, especially his hearty laugh, which is so moving that all of us can be touched spontaneously. But no one knows the story behind; what a tough childhood he experienced. His mother was gone even when his was at his fourth year. The only souvenir he got from his mother was an ironic caddy with his mother's portrait oil painting in it. He said, all the courage was come from the little caddy.
    In our university time, he was an active and easy-going guy who was sought after by almost the whole mates. And nearly all of the professors paid special regard to him. He was just like a merry carrier; wherever he went, laughter and spirit came together. One rainy day, I saw him staying in the rain alone with obscure expression. I walked to him and pulled his right arm to taking him inside. When we were sitting face to face in the dorm, I found his tears shed without control. "I miss my mother, I miss her very very much, and I badly miss her…" he choked with sobs and told me that it was mother’s portrait to support him to live with a strong heart. I was shocked then; because I thought he was a well breeding boy by his mom from infant till now. He was so kind, and so hopeful a boy that no one would believe he had to undergo such misery all by himself.
    Several years past, I keep the scene above all the time. Close kin may leave us for paradise, but the things they leave us can be the embodiment, just like my friend’s little oil painting , which can brace us.

Starry starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand
What you tried to say to me
and how you suffered for your sanity
and how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen they did not know how

Listen Respectfully to the Soul-Oil Painting by Millet

Millet is the most respected artist among the public. He displayed his art in an unsophisticated way; it is so pure and innocent that we can find the essence of human soul. Each of his oil painting seems fine and smooth. As a Frenchman, romance is a necessary feature, both in himself and his artworks. Millet's romance maybe the most tangible and plain, without any glorious element only naïve things stay there silently.
The shepherdess, peasant, and animals in Millet's oil paintings are so kind and spontaneous that you can feel they are beaming at us. Realism is a hard and long way to keep with, but Millet is in calm all the time and walking on the way by singing madrigal leisurely. Even you are not an art lover, you can not find reasons to refuse Millet's paintings. Because the amazing power of these paintings is originated from human soul, that is to say, everything is the purest.
Great Shakespeare once chanted for artworks:
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate;Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer's lease hath all too short a date;Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;But thy eternal summer shall not fade,Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
I can never write for Millet's oil paintings as Shakespeare, but I think this poem is the fittest portraiture to Millet's art. Let's pay our authentic honor to Millet-the artist for people and nature.
