Would you believe me if I told you that he wasn\u2019t always so loved and appreciated? That\u2019s right &#8211; Monet dealt with a ton of rejection before he was accepted by the art world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When Monet first began to exhibit his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-fun-facts-about-impressionism-and-impressionist-painters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Impressionist<\/a> paintings, critics were less than impressed. His works were called ugly, uninteresting, and unfinished. The fact that he concentrated on painting landscapes instead of people as subjects was revolutionary for his time, and it took many years for the fine art world to accept him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">He and his family lived in poverty until the 1860s, when finally his work was recognized for its beauty. Today, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/10-reasons-go-monets-house-giverny\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monet<\/a> painting can sell for anywhere from $7-81 million dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>2.

Specifically, Modigliani settled into the art commune le <i>Bateau Lavoir, <\/i>a community that welcomed poor artists in Montmartre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Modigliani was a very talented artist who unfortunately got involved in drinking and drug use.

Legend has it, a hotel owner bought a few of his canvases in order to patch holes in his mattresses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">When Modigliani did eventually try to enter his work into an art gallery, his nude paintings were deemed as scandalous, and the Chief of Â鶹APP Police forced the gallery to remove them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Modigliani sadly died from complications due to tuberculosis. It was only after his death that his signature, elongated figures began to be appreciated by the art world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Today, his art can be found in museums across Â鶹APP such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-near-the-pompidou-museum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pompidou Center<\/a>.

Seurat is also credited with inventing Pointillism, a style of painting that creates a larger picture by painting hundreds of very small dots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Seurat used science to created his works with science in mind: he wanted to use colors to make those who looked at his works feel real emotions. He did research on how colors could effect people, and he used this research to create paintings that are really an experience to look at.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Unfortunately for Seurat, his work was really under appreciated when he was alive.
