Vincent Willem van Gogh, one of the world's most famous painters, is well known for his unique painting style. Take, for example, Van Gogh's Irises, a reproduction of "Irises, Saint-Remy". A lone white iris stands out, surrounded by a group of blue irises along a garden path. Another stunning van Gogh tapestry is The Starry Night. Based on one of Van Gogh's most famous and recognizable works, it shows a night sky full of glowing, swirling stars and a full moon. Amazingly, van Gogh painted this night scene during the day, entirely from memory. Both of these incredible works of art that have been painstakingly recreated as tapestry wall hangings for your home.
Another well-known work by van Gogh is Bedroom in Arles. The scene is the painter's bedroom in his so-called Yellow House in Arles, France. A plain spare room with little more than a bed, table and chairs, its trapezoidal shape allowed van Gogh to give the painting an unusual perspective. In fact, van Gogh thought so much of this work that he painted three version of it. The Bedroom, one of the tapestries from Belgium at Decor4u.com, is based on the third rendition of the painting. In this tapestry, as in all others, one can easily make out van Gogh's masterful brushwork and use of color.
Painter Gustav Klimt was perhaps the most famous figure in the Austrian Art Nouveau movement. Among his many paintings, The Kiss stands out as his most widely recognized. In it, a couple embrace, surrounded by a veritable carpet of flowers. The limbs and clothing of the two seem to meld even as they merge with the encircling flora. Klimt painted The Kiss during what is known as his Golden Phase. He started a heavy use of gold leaf in his paintings after returning from Italy, inspired by the resplendent mosaics he saw there. This magnificent tapestry version, one of many tapestries from Europe at Decor4u.com, incorporates the use of actual gold thread to more accurately capture the effect of the Klimt masterpiece.
In his own time, much of what Klimt painted was regarded as controversial. An example of this is found in Lady with Fan. This paining shows an intimate glimpse of a woman, her face flushed, her dressing gown slipping from one shoulder to reveal what her fan conceals. Instead of placing her in a room or some other setting, she is displayed against an archetypal Art Noveau background of swirling, curvilinear leaves and vines. The artists who created the Lady with Fan decorative tapestry have loving reproduced Klimt's astonishing use of color and form in all its glory.
Claude Monet is another world famous artist and founder of the Impressionist school of painting. Indeed, the movement takes its name from his painting Impression, Soleil Levant (Impression, Sunrise). Following the Impressionist creed that art take its inspiration from the natural world, Monet found many subjects for his paintings at his famous gardens at Giverny. In Monet's Irises, we see a grouping of these tall graceful flowers against a soft summer sky. The brush strokes give a sense of movement to the irises, so that the petals and foliage seem to be swaying in the breeze. The exquisite detail in Monet's Iris wall hanging allows all this to be seen, down to Monet's bold signature.
Another well known French Impressionist artist is Pierre-August Renoir. He was a remarkably productive painter who created thousands of canvases over the span of his career. Many have commanded record-breaking prices. The signature of so many of his canvases is his talent for bringing a directness and feeling of immediacy to his portraits of people. This can be seen in the painting Dance at Bougival. A couple is shown doing a spirited dance, absorbed in the gaiety of the moment. Yet Renoir's use of light and shadow surrounds the couple with a delicate luminosity, lifting the painting from the merely charming to the sublime. Dance at Bougival Wall Art from Decor4u.com lets you add the mastery and grace of Renoir to your home.
Paul Ranson was a painter and a member of a group who called themselves Les Nabis, or the prophets. Les Nabis followed the belief that art was not merely symbolic or representational: it was a blending of both. This school of painting would bridge the gap between the Impressionists and the rise of abstract and non-representational art. A case in point is Ranson's Apple Tree with Red Fruit. Although, as the title suggests, the subject is ostensibly a natural scene, a close look at the painting shows the limbs of the trees appear like human arms in a symbolic, rather than realistic gesture. The vivid and distinctive color palette is given an extra dimension when rendered as tapestry art.
Decor4u.com has wall tapestries by well know contemporary artists as well. Bunny Oliver's style shows the influence of her studies with many of the United State's famous present day impressionists. She has given much time and attention to the study of still life as she believes that great beauty can be found in simple, everyday objects. Her painting, Poppies Galore, is a striking example of her finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. A bunch of bold scarlet poppies cascade out of a blue and white vase of Chinese design. In tapestry form, Poppies Galore by Bunny Oliver achieves a new depth and clarity.
