    Impressionism emerged in the late 19th century among Paris-based artists seeking to capture fleeting impressions rather than precise images. They painted outdoors using short brushstrokes and unmixed colors to depict light and movement. Key impressionists included Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and Edouard Manet. Post-impressionism developed geometric and distorted styles, exemplified by Paul Cezanne and Vincent van Gogh. Later expressionist styles like Fauvism and Surrealism further explored emotion, dreams, and the subconscious through color and form.

    Quarter I: Modern Art

    IMPRESSIONISM: Origins of the Movement

    Impressionism – was an art movement that emerged in the second half of the 19 th century among a group of Paris –
    based artists.

    The name impressionism was coined from the title of a work by French painter Claude Monet, Impression, soleil
    levant ( 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 real life.

    IMPRESSIONISM: A BREAK FROM PAST PAINTING TRADITIONS


    There were several areas in which impressionist artist moved away from the established practices of art that time.
    These involved their use of color, their choice of subject matter and setting, and their technique for capturing light
    and conveying movement.

    COLOR and LIGHT


     Short broken strokes
     Pure unmixed colors
     Freely brushed colors

    EVERYDAY SUBJECTS
     Scenes of life
     Households objects
     Landscapes and seascapes
     Houses, cafes, and buildings

    PAINTING OUTDOORS
    Previously, still lifes, protraits, and landscapes were usually painted inside a studio. The impressionists found
    that they could best capture the ever – changing effects of light on color by painting outdoors in natural light.

    OPEN COMPOSITION
    Impressionist painting also moved away from the formal, structured approach to placing and positioning
    their subjects.

    THE INFLUENCE OF PHOTOGRAPHY


    Photography was in its early stage at this time as well. As it gained popularity, photography inspired impressionists
    to capture fleeting moments of actions, whether in landscapes or in the day – to – day live people.
