    Impressionism emerged in the late 19th century as a style that emphasized suggestion, atmosphere, and perspective over definite forms and statements. In music, impressionist composers expressed reactions to experiences through new rhythms, scales, and tones that contrasted with traditional Western forms. Expressionism originated in visual arts and later applied to music, focusing on inner angst through jarring dissonance and complex rhythms rather than impressionism's ethereal beauty. In art, post-impressionism expanded on impressionist techniques through geometric approaches and distorting figures, while expressionist art portrayed subjective emotions through intense color and brushstrokes.

    MUSIC

    IMPRESSIONISM
    It was a style of music and of painting that avoids definite forms or obvious statements, instead highlighting suggestion
    and atmosphere. This style covered the decades from 1870-1920.

    Impressionist composers’ works expressed reaction to experience rather than the reality itself, keeping a calm
    perspective.

    Impressionism in music describes many new styles in composition. Impressionist composers found a new world of
    richness in rhythms, scales, and colors that showed contrasting styles with Western traditional forms.

    Musical Styles:
    EXPRESSIONISM
    Expressionism first originated in the visual arts and was later applied to music and other arts in the early 20th century.
    Following impressionism in art and music, the harsh, bold expressionism era can be considered a counterpoint to
    impressionism’s gauzy sweetness.

    Instead of ethereal impressions of beauty in nature, expressionism focuses on the inner angst and fear lurking within the
    subconscious mind. Expressionism in music embraces jarring dissonance and radical distortion. It turned away simple
    meters of duple, triple, and quadruple to complex rhythms.

    Characteristics of Expressionistic Music

     high level of dissonance (A combination of two or more tones of different frequencies that results in a
    musically “displeasing” sound.)
     extreme contrasts of dynamics
     constant changing of textures
     “distorted” melodies and harmonies
     angular melodies with wide leap

    Atonality

     More of innovation
     Eliminated the structure of key signatures.
     More dissonant sounds are expected.

    ART
    IMPRESSIONISM
    - was an art movement that emerged in the second half of the 19th century among a group of Paris-based artists.
    The duration of the impressionist movement itself was quite short, less than 20 years from 1872 to the mid-
    1880s. Impressionists particularly on use of expressive brushstrokes, clarity of form, and presentation of optical
    effects of hues.
    Claude Monet – Father of Impressionism

    POST-IMPRESSIONISM
    After the brief yet highly influential period of impressionism, an outgrowth movement known as post-impressionism
    emerged. The European artists who were at the forefront of this movement continued using the basic qualities of the
    impressionists before them—the vivid colors, heavy brush strokes, and true-to-life subjects. However, they expanded and
    experimented with these in bold new ways, like using a geometric approach, fragmenting objects and distorting people’s
    faces and body parts, and applying colors that were not necessarily realistic or natural.
    EXPRESSIONISM
     is an artistic style in which an artist attempts to portray not the objectives reality but more on
    the subjective emotions and responses that objects, events, or situations arouse in him/her.
     the artworks exhibit the use of intense color, wavy linear brushstrokes that suggests agitation,
    and space that depicts of a muffled atmosphere.
    Expressionist art movement were:
     Neo-Primitivism
     Fauvism
     Surrealism
     Dadaism
     Social Realism
    Neo-Primitivism
    It is a new movement or genre in art which influences from the Western avant-garde were
    combined in a deliberately crude way with features derived from the peasant art, lubki and other
    aspects of Russia’s artistic heritage.
