Guy Rose

description

Guy Orlando Rose was a prominent representative of California Impressionism (also called the California open-air school).

The future artist was born into the wealthy family of Senator Leonard J. Rose. His career began quite early, when, having been wounded while hunting, young Guy Rose began to be interested in painting.

An admirer of the artistic talent of Claude Monet, Guy Rose worked mainly in the genres of landscape, including urban, and portrait, was a good draftsman. In the canvases of Guy Rose, there is liveliness, naturalness and play of light peculiar to Impressionism. The artist used a rich color scheme, painted landscapes, female portraits. Several times exhibited his works at the Paris Salon, participated in exhibitions in his homeland, including the World Exhibition in San Francisco, where he received a silver medal.

Key ideas:

– The main task, considered by the American artist after the French Impressionists, is to show life in its variability and inconstancy. Depicting nature, Rose is trying to express the beauty of the living and changing real world, in which every moment is unique, on the canvas.

– Landscapes of Guy Rose are distinguished by a rich color gamma, abundance of sunlight, light, calm or bravura and festive atmosphere. Art critics determine some paintings as too bright and decorative.

– Expressive images created by the artist in portraits, which depicted mostly women. The heroines of Guy Rose’s canvases are in a natural, everyday atmosphere: walking, reading and standing in front of a mirror. The images evoke a feeling of harmony and beauty, which was the key idea of the master.
