| Boats on the Seine by Albert Andre |
- Describe - This painting, Boats on the Seine, was done by the artist Albert Andre. It is an oil painting on canvas. The exact dimensions were not listed next to the painting, but I would estimate that it was about 24" x 24".
- Analyze -The lines of the painting are visible, but not heavy. The shapes in the painting are the houses, boats, people, rocks, and flags. The texture appears to be smooth from a distance and bumpy up close because of the different amounts of paint that the artist used. The artist used varity to create constrast with the different shades of browns, blues, and grays. All of the objects are evenly proportioned. There is harmony in the painting - the different objects (houses, water, bank, boats, rocks, people) are distinct, but are painted similarly and create a sense of unity.
- Interpret - I think the meaning of the piece is to emphasize the unity of the people in this town with the water as their livelihood through fishing. The unity that the artist created pulls the people, water, and boats together as one unit.
- Judge or Evaluate - I really like this piece! I think that the detail and the colors of it are very beautiful. The colors make it very relaxing to look at.
