The realism in his pictures and le had a great influence on the impressionists and, through them, on 20th-century art. Norman Rockwell was a 20th century American painter and illustrator. His works enjoy a broad popular appeal in the United States, where Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life scenarios.
Cezanne was obsessed with form rather than content, so the subject was not important to him, also he paved the way for modern art by directly influencing Cubists. This artist used an impasto technique-thick, emotional strokes stabbing at the canvas with his palette knife. Artists use this technique today.
Cezanne wanted to paint the visual field into simpler elements and he used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields, at once both a direct expression of the sensations of the observing eye and an abstraction from observed nature. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects, a searching gaze and a dogged struggle to deal with the complexity of human visual perception.
Joseph Mallord William Turner became known as 'the painter of light', because of his increasing interest in brilliant colours as the main constituent in his landscapes and seascapes. On the other hand, Roland Emmerich is a German film director, screenwriter, and producer who works mostly in the disaster and action genres. Emmerich directed Independence Day, an alien invasion feature, released in 1996; next, he directed the American Revolutionary War epic The Patriot and The Day After Tomorrow, which is a 2004 American apocalyptic science-fiction film that depicts the catastrophic effects of both global warming and global cooling in a series of extreme weather events that usher in a new Ice Age. 2012 is a 2009 science fiction disaster film based loosely on the 2012 phenomenon.
As well as Turner, who based his pictures in natural disasters, and landscapes of destruction and sadness in the world. Both, they used colours to emphasize the dramatic scene, the predominant basic colors and solid, and the use of reflexes. Turner's first period is marked by mythological and historical scenes in which the coloring is subdued and details and contours are emphasized. Both, also used monuments socially representatives for its emotional value. Currently, Roland uses computer images and animations, applying realistic effects such as reflections in water and wind action on objects, as Turner did in his painting “The Burning of the Houses of Parliament”, which clearly note the direction of wind and fire intensity. These techniques give a realistic effect that impacts the viewer through their feelings of sadness, fear and helplessness.
Bernini, made a new kind of European sculpture, as well as Theo Jansen is doing the same at this time. Bernini was a sculptor, painter and architect and a formative influence as an outstanding exponent of the Italian Baroque. He was an exceptional portrait artist and owes to his father his accomplished techniques in the handling of marble, and clearly influenced by Caravaggio.
The Rape of Proserpina shows beautifully what a master Bernini was with stone. He integrated fabulous detail in these figures, enough to make one forget he was even using stone and not soft malleable clay to create this sculpture. He shows Proserpina’s lips, slightly opened, as if she were screaming and begging for help. Upon closer examination, one would notice the delicately crafted marble tears that look as though they are literally dripping down her face. Her face is so realistic it truly looks as if she is in agony and could scream. The way Pluto’s hands wrap around Proserpina gives the impression that his fingers are digging into her soft flesh. Bernini paid careful attention to detail, and again upon closer inspection, the viewer should notice the lifelike fingers and flesh he added to this piece.
Neoclassicism in “Napoleon on Horseback at the St. Bernard Pass”, by Jacques-Louis David, expresses the heroism of a character with great precision in the drawing details and precision. David freezes the movement and enhances the figure of Napoleon, looking like a hero of antiquity. Again the political blurb brings out the emperor with boldness and courage is capable of leading France through the vicissitudes of history.
The most innovative technical aspect of Citizen Kane is the extended use of deep focus. In nearly every scene in the film, the foreground, background and everything in between are all in sharp focus. Another unorthodox method used in the film was the way low-angle shots were used to display a point of view facing upwards, thus allowing ceilings to be shown in the background of several scenes. We can find several scenes that show the lead character, like Napoleon Bonaparte, but there is one specific scene that shows the viewer the potential and power of Citizen Kane. This scene is where citizen Kane postulated himself, and was on a dais. The angle of the camera, the background of his face, the chiaroscuro of the scene, the feeling of superiority and posture of the character fascinating insight into the potential of an image on the viewer, an image of explicit heroism that Neoclassicism was showed a long time ago.
