The Image Comparisons


This section of The Art Story website takes a different approach to learning about art. The modern artists we discuss here are analyzed using comparisons to famous artworks by classical artists to point out the exact, modern, achievements.


Choose one of these artist to see comparison:


Gustave Courbet

Henri Matisse

Mark Rothko



Edvard Munch





The Image Comparison Learning Tool was developed for The Art Story Foundation by Stephen Knudsen and Morgan Falconer. Please visit www.SteveKnudsen.com for full information on this methodology and for further information on The Beardsley ICU System.
