Impressionism (1 gen 1865 anni – 1 gen 1885 anni)

Descrizione:

While Impressionism borrows from Realism as far as focusing on everyday subject matter, it distinguishes itself in style. Impressionism focuses on initial sensations and impressions an artist has of a scene and basing their work off of this rather than what reality presents.

As an artist almost synonymous with the Impressionist art movement, Claude Monet talks of his work saying, “Now I really feel the landscape. I can be bold and include every tone of pink and blue: it's enchanting, it's delicious.”

Impressionism, a 19th-century art movement, focused on capturing fleeting moments and the perception of light and color with visible brushstrokes and open compositions, paving the way for Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and other modern art movements.

Some major artists from that time were: Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas,Gustave Caillebotte, and Jacob Abraham Camille Pissarro, all of whom are french, or part French.

Most people think of oil paintings when they think of Impressionism, but almost half of the works in the eight Impressionist exhibitions held in Paris between 1874 and 1886 were prints and drawings, and pastels have become increasingly popular with collectors.
