THE NEXT ART MOVEMENT MAY BE WITHIN YOU!
As we age, we notice that some “things” don't work like they did so many years ago. But, on the other hand, some of these changes might be for the better because we see the world a little differently. For example, here is an explanation of the different styles of the paintings by Claude Monet.
Claude Monet's eyesight began failing in his 60s, resulting in cataracts in both eyes. With failing eyesight, he labeled his paint tubes because he could not see the colors correctly. As a result, critics argued whether Monet's later paintings' wilder, browner, sometimes jarring colors and mark-making were intentional.
Published in 2015 by the British Journal of General Practice, a peer-reviewed paper by London ophthalmologist Anna Gruener convincingly settled the question. While successfully restoring his eyesight between medical treatments, she noted that when Monet's eyesight was successfully restored through medical treatments, he destroyed as many of those canvases as friends and dealers were unable to save when he realized what he had been doing.
“Monet's late works were the result of cataracts and not conscious experimentation with a more expressionistic style,” Gruner wrote. “Nonetheless, his late works, created under the influence of his cataracts, link impressionism with modern abstract art.”
Monet went back and forth with different eye doctors for 20 years7, trying drops and new-fangled glasses that worked for a little while and then stopped working. Having seen cataract operations fail for two of his friends, Honore Daumier and Mary Cassatt, Monet become increasingly sad and unproductive and refused to have surgery on his eyes.
It makes you wonder, “what-if” Monet had the surgery? How would his paintings look? Would they be as “abstract” as they appear because of poor eyesight?
Don't be too critical of your paintings if you find that you have some limiting disabilities…who knows, you might just discover the next art movement.
You can get there a lot faster with Personal Art Coaching, so this is something that you will want to keep in mind as you navigate your way through the jungle of art. We are also working on a new product that might be of interest to you in the future.
