The Culture and Art of Coffee the Degas painting Cafe
Degas's masterpiece Cafe
A real artist has a unique vision. Edgar Degas (1834-1917) has not only the vision of an artist, but sometimes more like a keen photojournalist. He is good at capturing all kinds of life in the city, but also with the meaning of criticism and ridicule, beyond the simple visual aesthetics.
This picture "Cafe", also known as "vermouth". At the end of the 19th century, the city cafe was so familiar to artists that it even became the theme of their works. The "Cafe" painted by Degas has a different angle. He posed a problem for himself: the characters in the painting were stunned and almost expressionless; the composition was also steep, with the woman sitting straight at the top of the middle of the picture, with a man dressed in black on the right, and a small part of the picture appeared. The left half of the picture is supported entirely by the collocation of two tables. The abrupt composition, coupled with the woman's lost, sad, confused expression, the coarse and tired face of the smoking man is so touching that it is difficult to forget from memory after seeing it. It seems that the strokes are extensive, but in fact, great efforts are made at the key and subtle points. Take a closer look at the portraits of women and men's eyes, wings of nose and corners of mouth, which vividly shows the identity and situation of the characters. It is impossible to draw without keen observation, profound experience of life and superb skill.
Degas likes to use black in the picture very much. he outlines the image in black, which is a bit like Chinese painting, with black as the background and often mixed with black in other colors. This makes some of his paintings seem resolute, calm, heavy and contrasting.
