The paintings and trademark strong brushwork of Vincent Willem van Gogh are so well known and so widely recognized as to be iconic. In his canvas Irises, Saint-Remy, van Gogh shows us a picturesque planting of irises in a garden. A solitary white flower seems incandescent in contrast to the saturated blues of the other blooms. The Starry Night, perhaps van Gogh's masterpiece, is another intense and dramatic image. The night sky above a village is ablaze with gyrating, roiling stars and an enormous full moon. It is remarkable that so vivid an image was painted completely by memory by van Gogh. The drama and majesty of these paintings have now come alive as tapestry wall hangings for the home.
Another well-known work by van Gogh is Bedroom in Arles. The scene is the painter's bedroom in his so-called Yellow House in Arles, France. A plain spare room with little more than a bed, table and chairs, its trapezoidal shape allowed van Gogh to give the painting an unusual perspective. In fact, van Gogh thought so much of this work that he painted three version of it. The Bedroom, one of the tapestries from Belgium at Decor4u.com, is based on the third rendition of the painting. In this tapestry, as in all others, one can easily make out van Gogh's masterful brushwork and use of color.
Painter Gustav Klimt was perhaps the most famous figure in the Austrian Art Nouveau movement. Among his many paintings, The Kiss stands out as his most widely recognized. In it, a couple embrace, surrounded by a veritable carpet of flowers. The limbs and clothing of the two seem to meld even as they merge with the encircling flora. Klimt painted The Kiss during what is known as his Golden Phase. He started a heavy use of gold leaf in his paintings after returning from Italy, inspired by the resplendent mosaics he saw there. This magnificent tapestry version, one of many tapestries from Europe at Decor4u.com, incorporates the use of actual gold thread to more accurately capture the effect of the Klimt masterpiece.
In his own time, much of what Klimt painted was regarded as controversial. An example of this is found in Lady with Fan. This paining shows an intimate glimpse of a woman, her face flushed, her dressing gown slipping from one shoulder to reveal what her fan conceals. Instead of placing her in a room or some other setting, she is displayed against an archetypal Art Noveau background of swirling, curvilinear leaves and vines. The artists who created the Lady with Fan decorative tapestry have loving reproduced Klimt's astonishing use of color and form in all its glory.
Claude Monet is another name that needs little introduction. Founder and principle artist of the Impressionist movement, he is known world wide. It was his painting Impression, Soleil Levant, from which this famous school of painting takes it name. True to the Impressionist belief that art should be inspired by natural forms and scenes, Monet painted extensively from the gardens surrounding his house at Giverny. In Monet's painting, Irises, a cluster of these flowers are shown against a balmy sky. The undulating foliage and petals suggest a gentle breeze. Monet's Irises wall hanging contains all the subtlety and detail of the original work, even including Monet's iconic signature.
Another well known French Impressionist artist is Pierre-August Renoir. He was a remarkably productive painter who created thousands of canvases over the span of his career. Many have commanded record-breaking prices. The signature of so many of his canvases is his talent for bringing a directness and feeling of immediacy to his portraits of people. This can be seen in the painting Dance at Bougival. A couple is shown doing a spirited dance, absorbed in the gaiety of the moment. Yet Renoir's use of light and shadow surrounds the couple with a delicate luminosity, lifting the painting from the merely charming to the sublime. Dance at Bougival Wall Art from Decor4u.com lets you add the mastery and grace of Renoir to your home.
French painter Paul Ranson was a member and creative leader of a group of artist calling themselves Les Nabis (the prophets). This post-Impressionist avant-garde school of art believed that art could be a blending of both the symbolic and representational. It was this set of beliefs and way of looking at art that would pave the way for the abstract and non-representational art movements. This belief is exemplified in Ranson's Apple Tree with Red Fruit. It is representational in the sense that it is a painting of an apple tree in a natural setting. However, closer inspection shows that the branches of the trees resemble human limbs, adding a symbolic element. Ranson's brilliant use of color comes to life in the form of tapestry art.
The works of contemporary artists is represented in Decor4u.com's by Famous Artists wall tapestries. Bunny Oliver, a working American Impressionist, has had the opportunity to study with many other famous Impressionists in the United States. She has chosen to paint many still life canvases, seeking to express the beauty that can be found in the exploration of commonplace objects. Her painting, Poppies Galore, is a case in point. A bunch of vibrant orange-red poppies tumble from a colorful porcelain vase seeming to have a life of their own. In the tapestry Poppies Galore by Bunny Oliver the exciting colors and forms of the original canvas achieve new intensity.
