Monet, you are neither subtle nor abstract

The psychological impact of color

Monet once said: "When painting, forget what kind of object is in front of you. What comes to mind is only a small square of blue, a small rectangular piece of pink, and a hint of yellow."



Color itself is simply a representation of different frequencies and amplitudes of light. But in people's eyes, red makes people feel warm and is regarded as a symbol of high energy, enthusiasm, love and strength; green reminds people of vitality and vitality; blue makes people calm and peaceful...

Color itself has no meaning, people give it meaning. The function of color is to trigger people's experience and memory, and then produce corresponding psychological reactions. For example, red can make people psychologically restless, which may be related to the memories left by factors such as fire, blood, and high temperature. So the color impact when you see a painting is actually a psychological reaction under the influence of your own memory.



Impressionism

Impressionist painting is an epoch-making art school in the history of Western painting.ImpressionismForm, painting based on momentary impressions without reliable knowledge. Painters grasp a characteristic side to paint, so they must fly the brush quickly to apply color directly to the canvas. They can only consider the overall effect of the painting more and pay less attention to the details.



Impressionism adopts the method of directly depicting scenery outdoors in the sunlight, and pursues the pursuit of understanding through thinking.light and colorchanges, and attaches the momentary sense of light to the canvas according to the processing in his mind. This kind of speculation on light and color reaches the ultimate beauty of color and light sense.



Impressionism advocates reflecting the instant impression of nature based on the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet presented by the solar spectrum. This feeling comes from the author's first feeling, or "perception."

Just like Monet's work "Rouen Cathedral Series" does not use precise details or abstract forms to trigger people's psychological state, but presents an instant "atmosphere" or "aura" through color, light and shadow, Your memory may not be able to recall so many details, but you can experience the "feeling" at that time, which is like "touching erotic emotions", which evokes vague memories.




Impressionism requires neither appreciating details nor thinking about meaning, as long as light, shadow and color remind you of something for a moment. Therefore, Monet is neither sophisticated nor abstract! But a kind of "hazy memory, especially fresh"
