Impressionism & Expressionism

Come educate me...

If everyone in the paintings has enormous asses, then it's Rubens.

If all the men look like cow-eyed curly-haired women, it's Caravaggio.

If everybody has some sort of body malfunction, then it's Picasso.

If it's something you saw on your acid trip last night, it's Dali.

If the images have a dark background and everyone has tortured expressions on their faces, it's Titian.

If the paintings have tons of little people in them but otherwise seem normal, it's Bruegel.

If everyone — including the women — looks like Putin, then it's van Eyck.

If the paintings have lots of little people in them but also have a ton of crazy bullshit, it's Bosch.

If everyone looks like hobos illuminated only by a dim streetlamp, it's Rembrandt.

^^^

If the painting could easily have a few chubby Cupids or sheep added (or already has them), it's Boucher.

If everyone is beautiful, naked, and stacked, it's Michelangelo.

If you see a ballerina, it's Degas.

If everything is highly-contrasted and sharp, sort of bluish, and everyone has gaunt bearded faces, it's El Greco.

If every painting is the face of a uni-browed woman, it's Frida.

Dappled light but no figures, it's Monet.

Dappled light and happy party-time people, it's Renoir.

Dappled light and happy party-time people, it's Renoir.

Dappled light and unhappy party-time people, then it's Manet.

Lord of the Rings landscapes with weird blue mist and the same wavy-haired aristocratic-nose Madonna, it's Da Vinci.

Excel sheet with coloured squares, it's Mondrian.

That' about it, in a nut shell. You can't go wrong.

Nice contributions, Damnata! 🙂 Thanks so much! I want to google impressionism and expressionism but I still find myself a bit lazy. Isnt Van Gogh an expressionist painter? I am a bit confused between the two tbh.

Van Gogh is post impressionism.

Classic impressionism:

Claude Monet - Water lilies

Van Gogh style :

Yah I figured that out even before I checked out his wiki page. It's just that my friend told me he's Expressionist. I don't even know what Expressionism is, that's why I posted this thread...
