  1. Impressionism

  2. Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris based artists, who began exhibiting their art publicly in the 1860’s.

  3. Impression - Sunrise

  4. Impressionist artists felt the new technology of Photography was ruining the art of painting. They felt the need to create a new style of painting in which accurate rendering of the subject was not the main focus.

  5. The Impressionists changed the approach to painting, by recreating the sensation in the eye that views the subject, rather than recreating the subject.

  6. The public, at first hated the paintings, then gradually came to believe that the Impressionists had captured a fresh and original vision. The art critics of that time, continued to disapprove calling the paintings unfinished sketches.

  7. Characteristics of Impressionist painting include: • Visible brushstrokes • Light Colors • Emphasis on Light and the changing qualities of it • Ordinary Subject Matter • Unusual Visual Angles • Open Compositions

  43. Painting techniques developed and used by the Impressionists:

  44. Short, thick strokes of paint are used to quickly capture the essence of the subject, rather than its details.

  45. Colors are applied side-by-side with as little mixing as possible, creating a vibrant surface. The optical mixing of colors occurs in the eye of the viewer.

  46. The play of natural light is emphasized. Close attention is paid to the reflection of colors from object to object.

  47. Grays and dark tones are produced by mixing complimentary colors. In pure Impressionism the use of black paint is avoided.
