of artistic craft, many have a greater appreciation of the reproduction of artwork paintings. Imagine if the Mona Lisa was only ever viewed upon by Leonardo Da Vinci, or within its locality. Centuries later, its true beauty would still be a secret to the rest of the world. It is hard to imagine that the most famous painting in the world would have been nothing more than a local favorite. Replication of fine paintings allows those who may never have an opportunity to own a masterpiece to feel like they

piece I really liked. The painting was called “New York Mural” by Stuart Davis. It was an oil painting on canvas and was around 64 inches by 17 inches. This piece was by far my favorite piece in the museum because of its abstract look and the proximity it had. All the shapes and iconic parts that showed what New York is all about were placed closely together and also had a very modern feel to it. It’s vertical placement made it even better at eye level because the painting was truly impressive to

piece of art. Manet utilizes realism to capture the simplistic form of the fruit. However, this painting is nothing less than sophisticated demonstrating Manet’s true command of color and touch with his brush. The painting is encompassed by dull, dark colors with sporadic brightness. Manet uses different forms of yellow to capture the color, shape, and texture of the lemon. The sudden brightness in the painting can be seen as the natural reflection that the lemon and the plate give off. He also utilizes

It very much breaks the traditional genre of early American landscape paintings. The very intense colors of the painting is balanced out between warm and cool parts of the painting.

It is said that Manet was one of the most controversial painters of his time and occupied a very privileged place in Impressionist art, he was a painter of modern life. Manet's paintings represented a modernist style, and depicted them as they were, unobtrusively. Manet was able to combine in an original way what he learned from the great painters of his time. This was one of the reasons that his works provoked rejection and criticism. I agree with Manet, I believe that an artist must have free expression
