Impressionism

Claude Monet was a painter from the Impressionist Movement, a movement that encouraged using immediate visual sensations through color and light to paint. One of Monet’s most famous paintings is called “Spring of Giverny” which is based off of the actually town of Giverny in France. The Impressionist movement was born in France, and this makes sense because Giverny was a small town in France which is what inspired this painting. “Spring of Giverny” depicts a beautiful, sunny day in the middle of

Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre, Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, and Paul Cézanne’s The Large Bathers (Harris & Zucker, n.d.) were some of the most notable paintings at the beginning of the 20th century. At this time, art had essentially evolved from the impressionist movement, whose ideas were mainly the building blocks of the modernist movement. This paper looks at these specific works with respect to how Picasso’s and Matisse’s pieces can be regarded as having been inspired by and moving away

Martial Caillebotte and Celeste Daufresne, home. When Caillebotte’s father passed in 1874, he inherited his money. Caillebotte showed his first piece “Floor-scrapers” in the 1876 Impressionism exhibition. Caillebotte has a realistic style but was inspired by the Impressionism style. This painting in particular is in the Impressionism category. Caillebotte painted a lot of standard subject matter. A lot of his pieces are images of family members.

The painting is currently housed in the Philadelphia Museum of Art (“Philadelphia Museum of Art”). A Sunday on La Grande Jatte is another European oil on canvas painting. Georges Seurat started this painting in 1884 during the post impressionism movement and completed it in 1886 ( "About This Artwork."). In 1889 Seurat made one final change to

           Post Impressionism, as the name would suggest, is the art movement that directly followed Impressionism. One artist, who led the Post Impressionism movement, was French artist, Paul Cézanne. Much of his early work was pure Impressionism and, although he was introduced to the style and guided by Camille Pissarro, Cézanne's works showed a distinctive uniqueness. Cézanne broke away from Impressionism because of the lack of composition; he felt the desire

Other Influences on Vincent Van Gogh’s Works As it was mentioned moving to Paris in 1886 had a great impact on Van Gogh’s works. Impressionism and post-impressionism also played a significant role in forming his unique style with usage of vibrant and vivid colors. Japanese printworks are also important to mention as Van Gogh adopt some of their aspects and elements which appeared in his works (Vieira et al. 119). Moreover, there were other artists and painters who played a vital role in shaping Van

advent of Post Impressionism. Colour changed from the traditional Neo-classicists methods to artists such as Seurat the Post-impressionist artist who was obsessed with the science behind art. . The main concepts I am discussing in terms of how the role of colour has changed are: the traditional role of colour, what made artists change their focus, science discoveries about light, optics and the difference between the colour use in the two styles; Neoclassicism and Post- Impressionism.

Impressionism is the movement in the arts that favored exploration of the elements that include light, color and sound over literal presentation. This effort in music was more concerned with human perception and how the artwork would be impressed on us rather that expressionism is concerned with gestures and how they reflect internal psychological mindsets. One of the most innovated composers that is considered an “impressionist” composer is Claude Debussy, who focuses his artwork on the visual aspect

I would agree with the statement that impressionism is often considered the first, true, modern art style. Impressionism was birthed, in Paris, by artists whose works were deemed unacceptable for display in the “official” salons sanctioned by the “Royal Academy”. As a reaction to the more traditional linear-style paintings, the impressionists focused on including the essential element of movement to enhance the human experience and perspective. Impressionists “abandoned traditional linear perspective

Gogh began painting in 1879, and continued until his death in 1890. He died a premature death due to the decay of his mental stability, which led to a botched suicide attempt, causing his death two days later. He painted in the period of post-impressionism, during which he made 750 paintings, 1,600 drawings, nine lithographs, and one etching. Some of his most famous and most influential works include Starry Night, The Potato Eaters, and All-Night Café. Vincent Willem van Gogh was born on March
