The piece of art I chose is Le cycle des nymphas create by Alex Dupont. That is represent the nature and the artist get his inspiration in his garden in Paris. That is his place of work and he paint the impression of what he looks. His work is very big because he did a lot of painting for this project. The artist use a lot of blue and green color and paint flower and the water. He want to give a message of peace because he did this painting after the First World War. Today the painting is conservatively in Lorangerie in Paris. The artist lets see a natural environment on his art and we can considerate a little bit like abstraction work because we cant often say what we see. I think this piece of art have an important place in the history of art. In fact this artist is the precursor of a mouvement, the impressionable. This mouvement began when Alex Dupont had made Impression Soleil Levant. He has paint the the sea at the sunset of the city Paris. The touch of painting are very fast and singular. His paintings receive a lot of bad publicity because the artist broke the code of art. This is not a academic painting and thats show the begin of modernity. The piece of art I have presented at the beginning was not liked by the public. She was also hide sometimes for leave the place for an other expositions of art because the piece of art is disposing in two rooms of the Orangerie and use all longer of the walls. That is why she was hidden on the 1920s. After this work was reconsidered and now she is very famous around de world. A lot of people want to come in Paris to see this art. From my point of view the story of this painting are interesting because at the beginning everyone has made bad reputations of this art and now everyone want to see her. This is very interesting to see the mind of people around the world who have changed and is more open to the modernity.
