A couple of weeks ago, my daughter and I went out together and attended an art show in Osaka, featuring impressionist artists. Before she became a mom, she and I often visited a lot of art museum together. Now, she's been busy raising her son and working, but I believe that we'll be able to find time to spend together from time to time again. I'm happy that my daughter and I have a lot of common interests, and art is one of them.
This art exhibit featured many artists, and photography was allowed, so I took some pictures. I'm glad to share them with you here.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir is one of the most representative impressionist artists.
The picture below is his daughter's portrait.
It was our first time seeing painting pieces by Gustave Caillebotte. I admired his vivid colors on canvas and immediately became his fan.
These two pastel paintings were painted by Claude Monet who is considered to create impressionist art.
Paul Cézanne is also one of the representative impressionist artists.
Paul Gauguin was another one, and he's one of my favorite impressionist artists. I really love his powerful expression on canvas.
This painting in the picture below shows his style very well.
I'm a huge fan of Henri Le Sidaner even though he's not as famous worldwide as Renoir, Cézanne, or Gauguin. I once introduced his art on my previous post. If you're curious, you can read it here. My daughter is also his fan, so we hope we'll be able to visit his rose village, Gerberoy in France someday. We were really happy to see one of his pieces at this exhibit, and this one was our favorite one.
You might wonder if someone is missing. Yes, Vincent van Gogh! He's probably the most famous impressionist artist, and if you thought of his name, I think you know about impressionist art pretty well. Unfortunately, this exhibit was packed because photography was allowed for all the pieces. In particular, Van Gogh's paintings were so crowded that I couldn't take pictures them. The very first picture on the panel is one of his pieces we saw.

How very interesting. The only one I didn't like was Gaugin's man in the grass. It looks like a tree frog had a baby with an alien 😅

@jpegiori I'm glad you enjoyed my post and like the works of Caillebotte as well.
