Born out of the artists’ desire to break away from the canons of the Academy, French Impressionist artists Manet, Monet, and Renoir explored contemporary subjects and scenes in new and experimental ways. Major contributions of the Impressionists include painting everyday life, they choice to paint en plein air, outdoors, instead of in the studio and most importantly, the fleeting effects of light on a particular subject. These “impressions” of light became the primary subject matter, especially for Monet. On the bridge between Realism and Impressionism is Edouard Manet. Born in Paris in 1832, he preferred a more classical approach to painting. However, his subject matter in paintings such as Le Dejeuner Sur L’herbe and Olympia gave him the reputation as a nonconformist. Manet places the Olympia we see in classical paintings in a contemporary setting rather than an allegorical one and she looks directly at the viewer. The refusal of the salon to show these paintings earned him the dubious title, “Father of Impressionism”. Claude Monet is best known for his paintings of his garden at Giverny. In the 1890’s he began to build a water garden around his house. There he painted his famous water lily paintings. By 1909 he had conceptualized an idea for a vast project of water lily canvases that would envelop an entire room. From 1916 almost until his death he worked on these canvases. He spoke of this endeavor, “In the night I am constantly haunted by what I am trying to realize. I rise broken with fatigue every morning.” In these canvases perspective is reduced to the water lilies floating on the surface of the water. Pierre Auguste Renoir’s painting, Le Moulin de la Galette is a study in impressionism. The scene is of working class people enjoying the leisure of a Sunday afternoon. The artist set up an easel right near the location and painted from life. Renoir was especially concerned with the play of light and shadow as they danced across the surface of an object. The fondness for impressionism exists today because these images capture forever the changing moments of time that we can all relate to in our contemporary world.

In 1874 Monet and his colleagues decided to appeal directly to the public by organizing their own exhibition. The press derisively labeled them “Impressionists” because their work seemed sketchy and unfinished (like a first impression) and because one of Monet’s paintings at the exhibition bore the title Impression: Sunrise (1872, Mus?e Marmottan, Paris). Monet’s compositions from this time were extremely loosely structured, and the colour was applied in strong, distinct strokes as if no reworking of the pigment had been attempted. This technique was calculated to suggest that the artist had indeed captured a spontaneous impression of nature. During the 1870s and 1880s Monet gradually refined this technique, and he made many trips to scenic areas of France, especially the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, to study the most brilliant effects of light and colour possible.>

Customer Review: OVERRATED BUT STILL GOOD
After making a daring escape from a military base, a group of robbers, Corbin, (Ted Vernon) Curry, (Michael David Sims) Roxanne, (Kristina Sanborn) Al, (David James Campbell) and Bert, (B.J. Turner) lose their money in a cornfield, and after dealing with a traitor in their ranks, the group comes upon a small, abandoned house on the grounds. Thinking it’s the perfect place to regroup, they hole up and decide on a plan of action. After trying to make an escape, they find the scarecrows in the field are alive and hinting them down one by one.

The Good News: This actually wasn’t as bad as I thought. One of the best things about this film is that it conjures up an effective and genuinely creepy atmosphere. The mystery surrounding the scarecrows is absolutely creepy, as they look just right and the aura created from them is remarkable. So much is derived from them and their look that they literally carry the film in the beginning. The biggest example of this is the first romp through the stalks. It’s a very long, drawn out sequence built around the faces and suspense from the scarecrows. A lot of it’s success is based on the scarecrows. It’s also pretty gory for what it is, and there’s some nice blood-splatter. The kills are nice and brutal as well, and feature a good dose of blood. There’s a hacksaw used to cut off a hand, a sickle repeatedly stabbed into the leg, and several stabbings. A gag with a bag up in a tree and the fact that every murder always features a graphic dissection doesn’t hurt it either. It’s simplistic story is also a big plus, keeping it upbeat along the way and putting all the focus where it should be.

The Bad News: There’s several things in here that didn’t really sit all that well. First, and most aggravating was that the majority of conversations were held over headsets, and often times made it seem like no one on-screen was actually speaking. It’s incredibly irritating and makes it completely disjointed. This makes it worse as it’s during the best part of the film. There’s also an uncut version around that is far gorier than what is given, which seems believable as what’s on display is kinda choppy at times and looks like it was edited. But outside of a few other very small nit-picks, this wasn’t all that bad. Not great, but not bad.

The Final Verdict: A little bit undeserving of it’s status as a cult classic, but it’s still a genuine creepy, features a memorable villain, and has some great moments spread throughout. There is some merit to it, though, so give it a chance. It’s fast enough that it won’t hurt much.

Touch the Art: Make Van Gogh’s Bed (Touch the Art)

Customer Review: Touch the Tutu

This book has it all. Three of the five senses anyway are engaged - sight, sound, and touch.

What do we see?

Art - great art. Masterpieces of Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne, and, of course Van Gogh. Each spread introduces a famous canvas. Each one is a feast for young eyes. And older ones too…

What do we feel?

Each reproduction has a tactile area that all will want to touch. Scratchy sandpaper in Cassatt’s Children on the Beach. Silky peach fuzz in Still Life with Peaches and Cherries by Cezanne. And of course a frilly tutu in L’Etoile by Edgar Degas.

What do we hear?

Rhythmic rhymes alongside each painting take us through a day at the beach.

It begins with Van Gogh’s bedroom at Arles -

Wake up!

Good morning sleepy head.

It’s time to make your messy bed.

It ends with The Starry Night, also by Van Gogh.

It’s dark outside.

Stars are shining bright.

Pull up your covers

and say good night!

Courtlynn, age 14 months, gives it a strong endorsement.
