Impressionism

Paintings with contemporary settings were rejected, as judges had strong ideas about recreating history. A painting that included some nudity was entered in a contest, and rejected. Nudity in paintings was normally accepted owing to the talent put in, but that particular painting (The Luncheon on the Grass) by the artist Édouard Manet - which depicted a nude woman with two clothed men at a picnic - was rejected due to the contemporary background. Many sympathized with Manet at the judge's sharp rejection of his painting, and another unusual majority of paintings set off rebellion among several French artists. Manet was admired by the first four impressionists, Monet, Renoir, Sisley and Bazille. It was later decreed by the Emperor Napolean III that the public should be allowed to judge the work themselves, organizing a Salon des Refusés (Salon of the refused). This new salon attracted more visitors than the original, though most were just there for a laugh. This helped boost the rebellious spirits of the four considered the "purest 'impressionists'" -- Monet, Sisley, Bazille and Pissarro.

There are quite a few well-known impressionists. Claude Monet is credited with "inventing" impressionism and it was the title of one of his paintings that gave its name. His close friend Auguste Renoir embraced the idea from the start. Alfred Sisley is another painter deeply involved as was also Camille Pissarro. Berthe Morisot is getting more and more admired for her impressionist paintings.

Because of the diverse settings of the Australian country, the settings were vastly different. Australian impressionists also tended to blend the colours and layers better and had a larger colour pallat. Australians also were able to depict the weather such as strong Austrlalian heat with brighter colours and shadows etc

Claude Monet did not only inspire it - he invented it.

In nearly all major art museums, but preferably in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

impressionism was popular in 180 B.C. the most popular impressionists are Vincent Vangough leonardo davinchi and leonardo dicaprio

It started in France during the late 1800s

The colors used as well as the subject are often very pleasing to the viewer. For the first time in history , @1860-1930's, artist's had every color in nature and the "spectrum of Light" to easily capture life and fleeting beauty. Art clubs in France and the States were the first to promote "pleine aire" outings in which artists such as Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, J.S. Sargeant, etc produced a large number of masterpieces , rich in color and subject.

It comes from the review an art critic made about that group of artists' first exhibition. The critic titled his review, "Exhibition of the Impressionists" because he said they painted based on their first impression. And they've been called that ever since.

Cubism started in 1908. In 1905 two expressionist movements had started: the Fauves and the Brücke. During the next decades cubism and expressionism flourished. Cubism does not seem to have been at all influenced by the expressionists.

The painting is 6'10" x 10'1". Converting to inches, this yields an area of 9922 square inches or 6.4 million square mm. If there is 1 color point per square mm, then that means there are 6.4 million points! That's a long process...

The main artists of French Impressionism were: Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley. Gustave Courbet's painting of a funeral is generally considered the first step towards Impressionism.

Florence

Like most of Vincent van Gogh's paintings it expressed emotions, and can therefore be called expressionist, although there was no expressionist movement at the time.

The Renaissance was 1400s and early 1500s.

started in 1780-1942

· Was a movement in European classical music, mainly in France

· Began in late 19th century continued into the middle of the 20th century

· Focused on suggestion and atmosphere rather than strong emotion or the depiction of a story

· Occurred as a reaction to the excesses of the romantic era

· Characterized by dramatic use of the major and minor scale

· Makes more use of dissonance and more uncommon scales such as the whole tone scale, chromatic and exotic rhythms

· Romantic composers also used long forms of music such as the symphony as concerto, while impressionist composers favoured short forums such as the nocturne, arabesque, and prelude.

· Was based in france

· French composers claude Debussy and Maurice ravel are generally considered to be the two "great" impressionists.

· Many musical instructions in impressionist pieces are written in French

· Begun by Debussy

· In place of the usual harmonic progression, he developed a style in which chords are valued for their individual sonorities rather than for their relations to one another.

Impressionism (1870-1890) Mostly French artists Degas, Monet, morisot, pissarro, Renoir, Sisley.

Impressionist paintings are brightly colored with paint applied in disconnected strokes that were intended to be combined in the viewer's eye rather than by the painter's brush. Whether their subjects were indoors or outside, these painters were primarily concerned with transient effects (e..g Monet's painting series of Notre Dame Cathedral in Rouen at different times of the day) and the way that light or sunshine dematerializes their subject-matter.

Post-Impressionism (all painters from France: Cezanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Seurat) - 1880s thro early 1890s

These painters shared a dissatisfaction with the relative formlessness of Impressionist paintings - its blurring of forms which were the result of fragmented brushstrokes (which had replaced the traditional use of a drawn line).

In contrast, the Post-Impressionists were not concerned with the objective appearance of their subject matter. and how it looked at different time of the day. Laying the groundwork for a Modern Art largely based on concepts, theories and the personal emotions of the artist, they each explored (unlike the Impressionists) in different directions:

e.g. Seurat evolved a mosaic-like technique- pointillism- evolved from theories of color and optics of his time. Cezanne experimented in ways to construct landscape and still life compositions; Gauguin and Van Gogh focussed on private symbolism.

In practice, painting out of doors as favored by Impressionist painters was replaced by a slow and methodical painting process which generally could take place only inside the studio.

Most new art forms (in literature, in music, in pictorial art) are difficult to understand at first. Some people react by being angry.
