    Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that began with a group of Paris-based artists who held independent exhibitions in the 1870s-1880s despite harsh opposition. The name comes from Monet's painting "Impression, Sunrise" which depicted transient effects of sunlight. Impressionist paintings used small, thin brush strokes of mixed color applied outdoors to capture fleeting moments and everyday scenes. While initially controversial, Impressionism came to be seen as a fresh new vision that depicted reality as perceived by the human eye.

    MODERN ART

    Introduction:
    • Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement that
    originated with a group of Paris-based artists.
    • Their independent exhibitions brought them to prominence
    during the 1870s and 1880s, in spite of harsh opposition from
    the conventional art community in France.
    • The name of the style derives from the title of a Claude
    Monet work, ”Impression, soleil levant”
    TRANSLATION: (Impression, Sunrise)
    • This provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in
    a satirical review published in the Parisian newspaper Le
    Charivari.
    • CHARACTERISTICS:
    • Impressionist painting characteristics include relatively small,
    thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on
    accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often
    accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary
    subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of
    human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.
    The development of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon
    followed by analogous styles in other media that became
    known as impressionist music and impressionist literature.
    • They constructed their pictures from freely brushed colours
    that took precedence over lines and contours, following the
    example of painters such as Eugène Delacroix and J. M. W.
    Turner.
    • They also painted realistic scenes of modern life, and often
    painted outdoors. Previously, still lifes and portraits as well
    as landscapes were usually painted in a studio.
    • The Impressionists found that they could capture the
    momentary and transient effects of sunlight by painting
    • ”en plein air”.
    • TRANSLATION: (OPEN AIR)
    • MEANING: creating a work of art outside.
    • They portrayed overall visual effects instead of details, and
    used short "broken" brush strokes of mixed and pure unmixed
    colour—not blended smoothly or shaded, as was customary—
    to achieve an effect of intense colour vibration
    • The public, at first hostile, gradually came to believe that the
    Impressionists had captured a fresh and original vision, even if
    the art critics and art establishment disapproved of the new
    style.
    • The term precisely captured what this art movement sought
    to represent in their works: the viewers momentary
    “impression” of an image.
    • It was not intended to be clear or precise, but more like a
    fleeting fragment of reality caught on canvas, sometimes in
    mid motion, at other times awkwardly positioned – just as it
    would be in real life.
