  2. Georges Rouault[1871 - 1958]was a French artist who, before he decided to become a painter, had been trained in a stained glass shop. Many of his works deal with religion. Flowers in Vase This picture is very different from all the other paintings that the artist painted a frame around it. Do you see the little lines & circles?

Have you ever seen a stained glass window?

  4. Vincent van Gogh[1853 - 1890]was a lonely unhappy man, who only devoted himself to art for the last ten years of his short life. He had health problems & spent his last two years in & out of hospitals. It was during this time that he painted this picture of iris. Iris Do you recognize the flowers in this painting? Vincent van Gogh used quite a few different greens. Can you find some blue-green? Light green? Yellow-green? Do you see how he painted an outline around some of the leaves? Do you know why he did that?

  5. Henri Rousseau[1844 - 1910]was born in France. He is the most famous of the primitive painters. Primitive means that he had no formal training in art but taught himself how to paint. Virgin Forest This is a jungle filled with exotic flowers & plants. Can you count how shapes of the leaves? Do you see the cactus-like plants in the center with their little red blossoms at the top? Do you see a man & a leopard? Do you think there really are flowers such as big as these or could they have been products of the artist’s imagination? What was the artist’s favorite color?

  6. Martin J. Heade[1819 - 1904]was one of the longest & most varied of any American artist. He liked to travel & record his impression in his paintings. Cattleya Orchid & Hummingbirds How many hummingbirds do you see? Where is the nest? Have you ever watched hummingbirds? Have you seen one with the long tail like the one at the right? Does the flower look as real as photograph? Would you like to make a picture about flowers & birds?

El Vendedor Anyone remember Frida Kahlo? She was the artist with her self-portrait in “Artists Paint Self-Portraits.” Who knows the name of the flowers? We see two hands on either side of the basket & two feet below it. Can you see someone’s head at the top middle of the calla lilies? Is the basket heavy or light? Have you seen any calla lilies? Sometimes flowers don’t have to be colorful, people love calla lilies because of the large white form that holds the yellow spadix in the center.
