Wheatstack, Sun in the Mist	Claude Monet, French, 1891, Impressionism. No deeper message than what is depicted. Monet painted a series of 20 at different times and seasons, as a study of the place. Uncommon for artists to travel for paintings at the time. Shows relationship between light and color, characteristic of impressionist art.	0	CFraissi Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:06:33 GMT
A Bar at the Folies-Bergere	Edouard Manet, 1881-1882, French, Impressionism. Young woman waits to take order, involving the viewer in the image. Confusion over whether background is a mirror or another room. Woman looks bored, wants to enjoy time. Man may be propositioning a woman nearby.	0	CFraissi Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:06:33 GMT
Luncheon of the Boating Party	Auguste Renoir, French, 1881, Impressionism. Shows people enjoying leisure time, in response to French government allotting regular work times so that people could enjoy time off in the city. Figures are members of the Parisian art community. Man and woman discuss, suggesting that they're having an affair.	0	CFraissi Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:06:33 GMT
Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket	James Abbott McNeill Whistler, American, 1875, Impressionism. Nocturne means "night scene." Without the title, the subject would probably be indecipherable. Whistler considered his works to be "visual music." Very abstract -- this is the most abstract of Whistler's works.	1	CFraissi Fri, 07 May 2010 19:17:07 GMT
Olympia	Edouard Manet, 1863, French, Realism. Prostitute taking a break between clients, with a blank stare indicating that she is all business. The viewer is put in an uncomfortable position, questioning their morality. References Venus of Urbino by Titian. Extremely unpopular in France, needed to be displayed high above ground to avoid destruction.	0	CFraissi Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:06:33 GMT
