Se acerca el final del ciclo artístico dedicado a los #ColoresConNombrePropio para el #TwitterCultural.

Todos aplaudimos la idea del pendiente luminoso en "La joven de la perla". Pero no hay luz sin oscuridad: #Vermeer lo sabía y usó el #NegroMarfil para crearla.

Desde el #impresionismo, hay un cierto tabú sobre el negro. #Monet decía: "el negro es la muerte de las sombras".
Pero esto es incompleto.

Los grandes maestros de otras épocas usaron pigmentos para conseguir diferentes negros y uno de los mejores fue el #NegroMarfil.

Sigue👇🏽
Lo que quería decir #Monet es que las sombras no son negras: tienen color. Y usaba mezclas para conseguirlas: los "negros cromáticos". Además estos negros no "ensucian" ni la paleta ni el resto de colores. Conseguía grises sumando colores complementarios. Pero otros no!

Let's play a "spot the degen pattern" game in art history.
And take a look at human capacity to accept new perspectives and innovation 😉

In the second half of the 19th century, when #IMPRESSIONISM emerged, the critics and the public agreed that the Impressionists couldn't draw.

Deviating from the norms and the conventional techniques, they were labeled as amateurs who cannot draw. ImageImage
3/
Their colors were considered vulgar, the art was blamed to be a sketch, an unfinished work.

#Impressionists were targeted by the realist tradition. Their artistic freedom, spontaneity & free brushed colors were punished. They were accused to be deviant, amateur, degenerate. ImageImage

1/The Parisian #ballerinas painted, drawn & sculpted by #Degas were young, poor & wretched souls. Exploited & used, the youngest were known as ‘les petit rats’. Wealthy men, called ‘abonnés’, paid subscriptions for backstage access to them & ‘privileges’. #RefuseToBeUsed ImageImage
2/ Abonnés, the powerful & wealthy male subscribers who paid for backstage ‘access’ (often sexual) to ballerinas in #Paris, can be seen in many paintings. #Degas, also an #abonné, used & exploited the young girls for his art, discarding them when no longer of artistic use. ImageImageImage
3/#Misogynist #Degas reportedly said “women invented the word ‘suffering’”. What a lovely man. Not. Remember that when looking at the beautiful works of art he created. Remember the miserable existence of the exploited & abused #ballerinas of #Paris.

This is one of the paintings from the ‘Water Lillies’ series with oil on canvas by the French Impressionist painter, Claude Monet. This was painted by him between 1914 - 1917, when the First World War was ravaging ImageImageImageImage
Between 1914 till his death in 1926, Monet completed 200 paintings (mostly large canvases)!!!He apparently painted quickly during summers when the light was good and filled in the details during winters, not letting his failing vision come in the way of such dynamic creativity
When asked how could he continue painting during such devastation, Monet said, “it’s the best way to avoid thinking of these sad times. All the same, I feel ashamed to think about my little researches into form and colour while so many people are suffering and dying for us.”
