Painter's birthday

Painter's birthday by Google doodle

  Yesterday I went to my daughter's friend's 6th birthday party. In the place where I live, the number of corona cases is decreasing a lot now, and people can go without wearing a mask. With good news, the birthday party season is coming one after another, and invitations are received from children's friends.

 As always, it's so exciting to choose a gift, buy a card, write a congratulatory message on it, and wrap the gift for little lovely girl. And it is one of the happy things to see the children laughing and talking at the celebration party on the same day.

 Birthdays always create images of celebration and anticipation. To commemorate the birthdays of artists, Google is also showing the birthday of a specific artist and the figure representing the artist with Google fonts through Google Doodle.  

  A Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google's homepages intended to commemorate holidays, events, achievements, and notable historical figures of particular countries.

  ​Among them, there is a site that organizes the artist's birthday by date, so I moved it.

  ​January 19, 2011 A logo celebrated  Cezanne's 172nd Birthday.

  ​In particular, it is impressive that this logo mimics Paul Cézanne's oil painting with a bold touch that breaks the rules and forms and recreates the true form.

He wrote that “Painting from nature is not copying the object and it is realizing one's sensations.” 

 And then his still life with Apples reflects this view and the artist's steady fascination with color, light, pictorial space, and how we see.

 “A painting is a combination of feelings. In other words, it is art that creates the relationship between color, outline and plane.”

Paul's apples look different depending on the viewing angle, even if they are the same apple.​

 The google doodle engraved the logo in the abstract painting of Jackson Pollock, American abstract expressionist painter and one of the most famous artists.  It's like a password-like text screen that appears when you set a password.​

  He (February 3, 1894 – November 8, 1978) was an American painter and illustrator. His works have a broad popular appeal in the United States for their reflection of American culture. Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine over nearly five decades

  ​This is my favorite among his paintings that naturally captured American culture, characteristics, and life. It seems to be the most American painting.

 ​Renowned German expressionist painter Paula Modersohn-Becker was born on this day in 1876. Her art bears witness to her courage, boldness, and ambition — a temperament that greatly influenced her short but prolific career.

  Her career was cut short when she died from postpartum embolism at the age of 31. She is recognized as the first known female painter to paint nude self-portraits. She was an important member of the early 20th century modernism movement.

  The characteristics of Mondrian can be briefly summarized as 'cold abstraction', 'vertical, horizontal, three primary colors, achromatic colors'. These characteristics of his paintings were applied to the logo.
