CEZANNE
They opened a new approche to art, they wanted to see the world as the children. Cézanne was a contemporary of the impressionists, but he went beyond their interests in the individual brushstroke and the fall of light onto objects, to create, in his words, ``something more solid and durable, like the art of the museums.'' He used the pointinisme,made by small point,eache one in a different colour. He also was a portaryer. He really gave attention to the object. He wanted to show something more about it, and he studyied people as object without using their feelings.Madame cezanne: On his first Paris trip, he met Marie-Hortense Fiquet, the model who eventually became his wife and the mother of his only child. She never liked Provence, and she never understood her husband. The feeling was mutual. Cézanne didn't understand women at all and she was no exception. She didn't like his pictures much either. She preferred the city lights to the south of France, so they lived apart much of the time. She dutifully posed for her husband during summers in Aix, but these portraits show her with a remote, inscrutable look, with eyes that never meet the viewer's. The lady with the coffee machine:we can see how he gave the same attention in the studies of the body of the lady and the coffe machine. The portrait is constructed according to a geometric modulation of volume (especially evident in his handling of the coffeepot and cup) that makes it one of the most significant works from this period of his career.

VAN GOGH
Difficult life, unquiet personality. His father was a protestant and he did not attend normal school. He wanted to work as a volontier to help poor people. In this period he started drawing and painting poor people at work. His models were poor people, slums, hard working peasants; he painted landscapes and town views, all in dark, somber colors(potetoes eaters:poor people all around a table eating only poteatos). His brother Theo became teh director of an art gallery in paris so van gogh decided to spend time in paris to study art and meet painters,the impressionist. He was shoked by the used of colours in their composition, so he changed his attitude, discovering also the japanese art.Le pere tanguy: Tanguy era un uomo gentile e comprensivo e per questo venne soprannominato “pére” (padre), spesso aiutò i suoi clienti accettando i loro quadri in cambio del materiale per dipingere quando non potevano permettersi di pagare.Il blu scuro dei dolci occhi di Tanguy ed il roso delle sue labbra risaltano in netto contrasto con la pelle pallida e la barba grigia.
Le mani di Tanguy con le loro vene prominenti contrastano decisamente con il blu carico del suo cappotto.Lo sfondo del quadro è composto da soggetti ispirati alle stampe giapponesi.
He had psycological problems,he was a borderlaine. When he was he paris he wanted to create a group of artist to live and work togheter and only gaugin accept to stay with him. V.g fisically attacked G. And after he cut one of his ear. Then he asked for an assistant because he understood he was insane. He painted also in this situation, and when he went out he found aplace to stay, and met Dr Gashè,that was a painter and gave him hospitality. He was the man that V,G would like to be:with a stabil life, a good profession and quiet. He painted him in the DR.GASHè:it is similar at his self portrait because he tried to reflect hiself.
VG shot hiself after paint campi di Grano Con Corvi: he painted the grain fields over a sky tormented,expressing his sadeness of this moment of disease.Notte stelalre: he tries to show the light taht spread in the sky.there is a psycologiacal use of colour:yellow:happiness.
