The artist of this work is Claude Monet. The reason why he made this artwork is this was the place that Monet thought that if he made his work here, it will become similar to the impressionism movement that he wanted to make. The reason this style is the impressionism movement is Monet made this work quickly by sketching and drawing what is happening in the sunrise at the Port of Le Havre. Monet used impasto paints to draw the boats, the sun, and its reflection in the water. Most of the motivation for the work was drawn by Joseph Mallord Willian Turner's which he drew "The sunset scarlet". Turner's painting uses only strong colors and only uses few colors.

The artist of this work is Vincent Vah Gogh. The reason why he made this work is he was reflecting on what he could see from the windows and wanted to put memories and emotions in this work. The swirls in the sky of this work represent that Gogh is suffering from lead poisoning or disease because he uses strange symbols in this work. After all, it is strange that there is a swirl in this work. Gogh drew what he could see,  and there is no chance there is a swirl in the sky. In this work, Gogh uses the impasto technique. It is a technique that artists put paint on the canvas and arrange it using their fingers. He also used a lot of rich blue and yellow in his works. This work is post-impressionism because it only uses a limited range of colors, short painterly brushstrokes, use artificial color palate, and focuses a lot on light. The subject matter of this work represents that the death of Gogh which he suicided is being symbolized by the cypress tree.

The artist of this work is Wassily Kandinsky. The reason why he made this work is this work is because he was one of the members of The Blue Rider movement. He was a member for four years and he wanted to make a work that was similar to the blue rider which was made by the Der Blaue Reiter artists. This work uses dry brushes because the whole area of this painting is uneven which shows that Kandinsky painted over many times using dry paint that made broad brush strokes. The horse in the work represented creative energy, and the color blue is symbolizing the spiritual. The subject matter of this work is that we can move beyond what is represented by the rider.

The artist of this work is René Magritte. The reason why he made this work is Magritte wanted to overcome what he saw as the severe rationalism of bourgeois society. He is asking people about the conventions of language and visual representation. He is using different methods which include the misnaming of objects, doubling, repetition, and mirroring. The picture shows a pipe. Below it, Magritte wrote, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" which is in French for "This is not a pipe." The painting is not a pipe, but it is an image of a pipe. Magritte's subject matter was to show a simple idea of society, which is easy to see through. Magritte combined the words and image in a unique way that he forced us to think about the meaning of the sentence and the word.

The artist of this work is Bridget Riley. In search of purity in the abstract form, Riley wanted to draw squares of her work. When she started to make it, she stated, "...as I sketched, things began to alter." She kept sketching and pushing forward intentionally. The squares started to lose their shape as seen on the image. In this image, Riley used a basic approach in her 1961 work which is lines of squares whose breadth reduces. Knowing how to achieve this trick doesn't take away from its impact on a picture. This work represents its beat brings out images of two shapes hitting, a kiss, or two flat surfaces collapsing into a disappearing line of touch. The subject matter of this work is the squares started to lose their shape. 'Movement in Squares' is made up of twelve rows of which is alternating in black and white squares. The height remains the same however the width gradually decreases.
