Arts 1stGP - Impressionism & Post - Impressionism

Impressionism emerged in the late 19th century among French artists seeking to capture fleeting moments and effects of light through loose brushwork and vibrant colors. Key figures included Claude Monet, known for his landscapes, and August Renoir, who painted scenes of everyday life. They broke from tradition by painting outdoors and using everyday subjects. Post-Impressionism expanded on these techniques through experimentation with form, color, and perspective as seen in the works of Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh, whose expressive brushwork and vivid palettes influenced 20th century art.

IMPRESSIONISM
IMPRESSIONISM
 was an art movement that emerged in the second half of the 19th century
among a group of Paris-based artists
 from 1872 to the mid-1880s (less than 20 years)
 was coined from the title of a work by French painter Claude Monet,
Impression, soleil levant (in English, Impression, Sunrise)
 The term precisely captured what this group of artists sought to represent in
their works: the viewer’s 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.
IMPRESSIONISM
 There were several areas in which impressionist artists moved away from the
established practices of art at that time:
A. Color and Light
-- freely brushed colors that conveyed more of a visual effect than
a detailed rendering of the subject
-- short “broken” strokes that were intentionally made
visible to the viewer
B. “Everyday Subjects”
-- scenes of life, household objects, landscapes and
seascapes, houses, cafes, buildings, ordinary people caught off – guard
doing everyday tasks, at work, at leisure or doing nothing at all
IMPRESSIONISM
C. Painting Outdoors
-- the impressionists found that they could best capture the ever-
changing effects of light on color by painting outdoors in natural light
D. Open Composition
-- experimented with unusual visual angles, sizes of objects that
appeared out of proportion, off-center placement, and empty spaces on the
canvas
E. The Influence of Photography
-- photography inspired impressionists to capture fleeting
moments of action, whether in landscapes or in the day-to-day lives of people

POST - IMPRESSIONISM
 European artists were at the forefront of this movement
 used the basic qualities of the impressionists before them—the
vivid colors, heavy brush strokes, and true-to-life subjects
 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.
