1
Picturesque Journeys by Inizia Canetti Travel to distant places can have a powerful effect on people.
2
This is especially true of artists.
3
As the lives of the three artists featured here show, different locations have inspired some of the world's greatest painters to create their best works.
4
Many paintings by artists Frida Kahlo, Georgia O 'Keeffe, and Paul Gauguin were strongly influenced by their journeys.
5
Visiting or living in different places inspired the themes of their works and their colors and painting styles.
6
In their art, these artists captured the landscapes and everyday scenes that inspired their imaginations and affected their art.
7
Frida Kahlo was born in 1907 in the town of Coyocan outside Mexico City, Mexico.
8
Her father was hungarian and her mother was of spanish
9
and mexican indian descent kalo's diverse background helped define both her identity
10
and her vision of the world kalo showed her determined spirit from an early age
11
when she was six she became ill with polio it made one of her legs thinner
12
and weaker than the other however this didn't slow her down kalo still played sports and she won several swimming competitions.
13
At age 18, Kahlo was in a bus crash and was seriously injured.
14
She had to spend many months resting and recovering.
15
Kahlo became bored lying in bed, staring at the ceiling.
16
Her parents decided to give her a box of paints and an easel that she could use in bed.
17
Kahlo began to paint everything she saw in her bedroom.
18
Painting became her daily habit.
19
Because she had a huge mirror in front of her bed, she started to paint images of herself.
20
Kahlo would continue to create self -portraits throughout her life.
21
After she recovered from the accident, Kahlo began going out and about again.
22
One day, she passed by a building where the famous painter Diego Rivera was painting a huge mural.
23
She decided to show Rivera some of her paintings and ask him for his opinion.
24
Rivera agreed to take a look.
25
He told her she was talented.
26
That was the beginning of a long friendship between the two artists.
27
A year after they met, Kahlo and Rivera married.
28
Soon after that, they moved to the United States.
29
Kahlo and Rivera lived in San Francisco, California.
30
But it was time spent in another American city, Detroit, Michigan, that began to influence Kahlo's paintings.
31
She passed many hours alone in Detroit while Rivera painted murals for a North American company.
32
She found that she greatly missed her homeland of Mexico, so Kahlo began to paint images that related to how she felt.
33
No matter where she went, she painted what she could identify with most—herself.
34
Self -Portrait with Monkey and Parrot,
35
1942, Frida Kahlo Many of Kahlo's paintings include things she missed about her childhood and her home in Mexico.
36
An example is Self -Portrait with Monkey and Parrot, painted in 1942.
37
To Kahlo, the spider monkey was a symbol of home.
38
She kept spider monkeys as pets in the Garden of La Casa Azul, her blue house outside Mexico City.
39
It was the house Kahlo was born in, and one that she kept and visited until she died there in 1954.
40
To Kahlo, the spider monkey in the painting was also a symbol of the children she couldn't have
41
because of her bus accident.
42
The animals meant so much to her that of 181 works she made in her lifetime, 55 of them include spider monkeys.
43
The parrot on Kahlo's shoulder and the fuzzy -leaved plants behind her also reflect the blue house and its garden.
44
Kahlo herself is stern -faced and serious -looking, painted to enhance her trademark thick black eyebrows that meet in the middle.
45
No matter where Kahlo lived, she made paintings that were like visual autobiographies.
46
Every painting tells the story of something remarkable she lived through and how she felt about it.
47
Her facial expressions, her clothing, and the colors and images around her help viewers understand what was happening at
48
that moment in her life and in the world.
49
Kahlo missed her colorful and warm homeland.
50
That's why, in many of her paintings, she portrays herself wearing jewelry and surrounded by objects that identify her cultural heritage.
51
Her use of color, too, often expressed her yearning for home as well as other powerful feelings yellow for example represents the sun
52
and happiness of mexico but in some cases it also represents illness
53
or fear cobalt blue represents electricity and purity her paintings often include green red
54
and white too those are the colors of the Mexican flag.
55
Even though she often lived in cities, Kahlo rarely painted urban scenes.
56
She always preferred to paint the world she dreamed of returning to.
57
Instead of skyscrapers and factory smokestacks, Kahlo painted tropical plants and animals from her homeland.
58
The monkeys, parrots, and lush tropical plants she included in her paintings represented Mexico's past and present.
59
They also represented Kahlo's dreams of a different life.
60
Much as she missed Mexico, however, Kahlo's travels had a major effect on the art she created.
61
Travel helped her better understand her own identity and develop a distinct artistic style.
62
That style made her one of the world's most famous artists, one who has influenced many others.
63
Like Kahlo, the American artist Georgia O 'Keeffe was deeply influenced by her cultural background and her travels.
64
O 'Keeffe was born in 1887 in the rural town of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.
65
Her parents were dairy farmers of Irish and Hungarian backgrounds.
66
O 'Keeffe grew up in a farmhouse surrounded by trees, wildflowers, and grasslands.
67
O 'Keeffe was surrounded by a big family, but she was quiet and independent.
68
Growing up, she enjoyed spending long hours observing the natural environment.
69
When she was in eighth grade, O 'Keeffe decided to become a painter.
70
She took art lessons and began to focus on flowers as one of her favorite subjects.
71
She was fascinated by their soft colors and irregular forms.
72
This early experience strongly influenced her paintings years later.
73
After high school, O 'Keefe decided to study painting at the Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois.
74
After further study in New York, she spent some time as a teacher at West Texas A &M University.
75
There she first saw the Palo Duro Canyon near Amarillo, Texas.
76
It would become an important landscape in her paintings.
77
O 'Keefe's style and ideas about art took a turn in 1912
78
when she attended a summer school class at the University of Virginia.
79
There, she was inspired by the ideas of Arthur Wesley Dow, who believed that artists should express themselves using color, lines, and shading.
80
This was very different from the realistic style of painting, known as realism, that O 'Keefe had studied until then.
81
As a result, the young artist found a new way to share her feelings and ideas through her art.
82
In 1915, she began a series of abstract drawings.
83
Abstract art is a painting or other art form that doesn't try to show people, places, or things in a realistic way.
84
The new style of these artworks represented her breakup with realism.
85
Soon, she became one of the first American artists to practice a purely abstract style of art.
86
The famous photographer and art gallery owner, Alfred Stieglitz, saw O 'Keeffe's abstract drawings and was very impressed.
87
In 1916, in New York City, Stieglitz opened the first exhibit of O 'Keeffe's work.
88
Over time, Stieglitz and O 'Keeffe became friends as well.
89
In 1924, Stieglitz and O 'Keeffe were married, and they lived in New York.
90
Petunias, 1924, Georgia O 'Keeffe Living in New York City, O 'Keefe was captivated by skyscrapers.
91
She made these tall buildings the subjects of such paintings as The Shelton with Sunspots,
92
NY, City Night, and Radiator Building Night, New York.
93
O 'Keefe spent summers at her husband's family home, in the village of Lake George in the Adirondack Mountains of New York.
94
While there, she began making large -scale paintings of nature at close range, as if she were looking through a magnifying glass.
95
In 1924, she made her first large -scale flower painting, Petunia No. 2.
96
There were many more giant, expressive, and colorful flowers to come.
97
Red and Yellow Cliffs, 1940, Georgia O 'Keeffe O 'Keeffe's curious nature led her to travel often.
98
In the late 1920s, she became fascinated with the landscapes of the Southwest.
99
In the deserts of New Mexico, she found rough terrain with monumental rocks and animal bones that were partly buried in the arid ground.
100
She also admired the distinct local art and the unique style of adobe architecture.
101
Soon, O 'Keeffe began to spend almost all of her time in the Southwest.
102
In New Mexico, she felt inspired and felt a new freedom to paint.
103
In 1934, O 'Keeffe bought a home in New Mexico, in the desert she so often painted.
104
Then, after 1946, O 'Keeffe decided to move to New Mexico permanently.
105
O 'Keeffe's famous paintings of New Mexico include Black Cross, New Mexico, and Dead Tree with Pink Hill.
106
She said of the Southwest, to me, it is the best place in the world.
107
o 'keefe took many exploratory drives across the southwest after one
108
of her trips she said such a beautiful untouched lonely feeling
109
place it is a place i have painted before even now i must do it again o 'keefe continued traveling
110
and discovering new places some of her artworks reflected these journeys
111
she painted lava bridges in hawaii the mountain peaks of peru and mount fuji in japan
112
o 'keefe was attracted to big open spaces
113
so her work often includes paintings of clouds
114
and endless skies o 'keefe's paintings were of oversized flowers cityscapes rugged landscapes remote hills lonely crosses
115
and images of bones against the desert sky through them o
116
'keefe greatly influenced other artists of the 20th century today her
117
paintings can be found in museums all across the country including
118
one dedicated solely to her work the georgia o 'keefe museum in santa fe new mexico o 'keefe lived
119
and worked in abiquiu from 1949 to 1984.
120
like both frida kahlo
121
and georgia o 'keefe the french artist paul gauguin was greatly influenced by his cultural background and travels
122
Gauguin was born in Paris, France in 1848.
123
His family left Paris to move to South America while he was still very young.
124
Paul spent his childhood in Lima, Peru, surrounded by South American pottery and other objects that his mother loved.
125
His mother also liked to dress in colorful traditional costumes of Lima.
126
All of these things helped spark Gauguin's interest in art and creativity.
127
When Gauguin was seven, his family moved back to France.
128
Ten years later, he joined the French Merchant Marine, traveling on ships that carry cargo and people from place to place.
129
During this time, Gauguin sailed twice to Brazil.
130
He discovered that he loved traveling and learning about other cultures.
131
These passions would become important parts of his life and art.
132
After working for the Merchant Marine, Gauguin returned to France.
133
He started a new way of life.
134
He got a job as a stockbroker and married a Danish woman named Mette Gad.
135
In 1873, he began painting as a hobby.
136
He quickly showed great talent, and his paintings were displayed in major art shows.
137
In 1882, the stock market crashed in France, and Gauguin lost his job.
138
He decided to take the risk of becoming a full -time painter.
139
He moved to Brittany, in the north of France.
140
Gauguin felt that many French artists imitated each other rather than trying to create something new and different.
141
He didn't want to imitate anyone.
142
In Brittany, he started to move away from the Impressionist style that was so popular at the time.
143
Impressionist art often used pastel colors and focused on the effects of light.
144
Gauguin instead started painting scenes of Brittany's countryside in bold colors with strong lines.
145
Sparked by Europe's growing interest in other cultures, especially Japanese culture, Gauguin continued to experiment in his own painting.
146
He also began to travel outside France again to find new inspiration for his art.
147
In 1887, after a brief trip to Panama, Gauguin visited the island of Martinique in the Caribbean.
148
The beauty of the Caribbean landscape amazed him.
149
He also became friendly with people on the island.
150
As the result of this experience, he started to include both tropical landscapes and symbols in his artwork.
151
Martinique Landscape and Among the Mangoes are two of the paintings that Gauguin created during his stay on the Caribbean island.
152
After he left the island, he used sketches he made in Martinique as the basis of many more paintings.
153
The people of Martinique remained a popular subject in his artworks.
154
Gauguin was eager to find another exotic destination that would inspire his creativity.
155
He was tired of European culture.
156
He found it artificial and dull.
157
In 1892, he decided to sail for the island of Tahiti, also known as French Polynesia, in the South Pacific.
158
He left his old life behind.
159
He thought that this Polynesian island might offer him personal and creative freedom.
160
He moved into a bamboo hut and started to paint the scenery and people of Tahiti.
161
Along with new subjects, he experimented with new techniques and formats.
162
I am leaving in order to have peace and quiet, to be rid of the influence of civilization, he wrote at the time.
163
I want only to do simple, very simple art.
164
Gauguin was fascinated by the strength and simplicity of art from Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
165
In Tahiti, he strived to use these qualities in his own artworks.
166
He used vivid colors and simple compositions to paint the tropical environment.
167
Gradually, he began to focus more on the Tahitian people themselves.
168
He painted many scenes of Tahitians doing everyday tasks, such as weaving baskets.
169
Gauguin was also inspired by the history and the stories of the Pacific Islands.
170
He began to add elements of these stories, such as religious symbols, to his paintings.
171
His style began to break away more and more from the traditions of European art.
172
Soon, Gauguin's use of colors and lines was like no one else's.
173
Gauguin not only used intense, bright colors to reflect the landscape of the Polynesian islands, but he also used colors with great freedom.
174
For example, he painted grass red if he felt it should be red.
175
Comings and Goings, Martinique, Allee et Venue, 1887, Paul Gauguin Near the end of his life,
176
Gauguin moved to the more remote Marquesas Islands in the Pacific.
177
He continued painting there until his death in 1903.
178
Gauguin had a huge influence on modern art.
179
He inspired artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso, among others today he is known for his unique style
180
and technique as well as for his experiments with color all of
181
which were strongly affected by the places he visited
182
and lived Frida Kahlo Georgia O 'Keeffe
183
and Paul Gauguin are among the many artists whose works have
184
been influenced by their journeys it is impossible to imagine how different these artists lives
185
and art would have been if they had never traveled.
