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 familiar van Gogh canvas is Bedroom in Arles. It details the interior of his bedroom at his house in Arles, France, called the Yellow House. An otherwise simple, rustic room with bed, chairs and a table, the space is unique because of its trapezoidal shape. Van Gogh painted no less that three version of Bedroom in Arles. The Bedroom is one of Decor4u.com's tapestries from Belgium and is based on the third version of this work. In all of these tapestries, van Gogh's characteristic use of bold color and forceful painting style have been faithfully reproduced.
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.
During the era in which Klimt painted, many of the subjects he painted were considered objectionable. For instance, his painting Lady with Fan. We are shown an intimate glimpse of an anonymous woman. Cheeks flushed, hair loosened, she seems lost in a reverie and unaware that her dressing gown has slipped from her shoulder. We do not see her in a room or with others, instead she stands out against a stylized Art Noveau background of swirling organic motifs. The brilliance of Klimt's brushwork and imagery are expertly preserved by the talented weavers of this decorative tapestry.
Claude Monet is another name that needs little introduction. Founder and principle artist of the Impressionist movement, he is known world wide. It was his painting Impression, Soleil Levant, from which this famous school of painting takes it name. True to the Impressionist belief that art should be inspired by natural forms and scenes, Monet painted extensively from the gardens surrounding his house at Giverny. In Monet's painting, Irises, a cluster of these flowers are shown against a balmy sky. The undulating foliage and petals suggest a gentle breeze. Monet's Irises wall hanging contains all the subtlety and detail of the original work, even including Monet's iconic signature.
Another renowned artist of the French Impressionist school is Pierre-August Renoir. Over the course of his career, he painted thousands of paintings. Some are among the best know images in art and have commanded record breaking prices. A massively talented painter, he was perhaps most adept at creating honest and intimate portraits of people. Take, for example, his painting Dance at Bougival. A young couple is shown enjoying a dance, celebrating life's small but intense pleasures. Renoir's masterly technique in employing color, light and shadow elevates this charming yet simple scene to something more refined. Dance at Bougival Wall Art at Decor4u.com lets you own a true masterpiece for 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. - 16477
