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.
One of the most prominent and famous painters of the Art Nouveau movement was Austrian Gustav Klimt. He is perhaps most well known for his painting, The Kiss. A man and a woman enfold one another, their limbs entwined. They appear to become one with one another as well as with the field of flowers that surround them. Klimt had recently returned from Italy and was inspired by the famous mosaics he saw there to start using gold leaf in his own paintings. Hence his Golden Phase during which The Kiss was produced. This amazing tapestry, from Decor4u.com's collection of tapestries from Europe, is woven with gold threads to more fully realize Klimt's vision.
In the time that it was created, much of Klimt's work was considered controversial. Consider Lady with Fan. We are shown a seemingly private moment in a woman's day. Her hair is loose, her robe slips carelessly off one shoulder, she seems lost in thought. She is not shown in her room or any other interior. She is set against a background of Art Noveau motifs: birds, flowers, leaves, vines. The makers of this decorative tapestry have maintained the brilliance of the colors and forms of the original canvas.
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.
Pierre-August Renoir is another famed French Impressionist. He was an extraordinarily prolific artist who produced thousands of works in his lifetime, many of which have brought record sums in recent years. He greatest talent perhaps lies in his ability to create direct and intimate likenesses of people. A fine example of this is the canvas Dance at Bougival. A couple dancing exudes a lusty gaiety, enjoying the pleasures of the moment. At the same time, Renoir's masterful use of light and shadow bring an almost ethereal quality to the work. Dance at Bougival Wall Art from Decor4u.com lets you enjoy this master work for your own.
Paul Ranson was a painter and a member of a group who called themselves Les Nabis, or the prophets. Les Nabis followed the belief that art was not merely symbolic or representational: it was a blending of both. This school of painting would bridge the gap between the Impressionists and the rise of abstract and non-representational art. A case in point is Ranson's Apple Tree with Red Fruit. Although, as the title suggests, the subject is ostensibly a natural scene, a close look at the painting shows the limbs of the trees appear like human arms in a symbolic, rather than realistic gesture. The vivid and distinctive color palette is given an extra dimension when rendered as 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.
