Influenced


Ogden Rood influenced many artists, and styles.  One of which was impressionism, a movement that had much to do with depicting light, movement, complementary colors.  One example is Claude Monet's Sunrise(above), he uses complimentary colors to creat contrast and small little brush strokes to create movement.  As Rood said in his book, "paint with light!",That Monet did!






Another artist that was very much influenced by Ogden was Georges Seurat a neo-impressionist or pointilist painter.  He was very scientific about his work, much like Ogden was.  In his painting Circus Sideshow (Below), he implements small little dots with complimentary colors to creat a man.
