Write a five-page paper (typed, double-spaced) in which you discuss these two paintings. Read the sections in Gardner on Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. No further research is necessary.
Your paper should focus on the stylistic changes involved in the shift from “Impressionism” to “Post-Impressionism” as exemplified in these paintings. Van Gogh–as the Gardner text explains–was influenced by, but also reacted against, certain aspects of Impressionism (represented here by Pissarro). Explain this historical development more fully in reference to these paintings.
The paper should be a careful visual analysis of the paintings, and incorporate your specific observations into the broader development from Impressionism to the Post-Impressionist style of Van Gogh. Discuss each painting in the context of what you have learned about that artist from the Gardner book and from class lecture. Points to consider include the following. How does each painting relate to the typical characteristics of the artist’s work, and of Impressionism (for Pissarro) and Post-Impressionism (more specifically, Van Goghs expressionist variety of Post-Impressionism), as discussed in Gardner and in class lectures? Also: consider how these two paintings might differin some waysfrom the typical characteristics of those styles. You may compare the paintings at the museum to other paintings in the Gardner text by these artists.
