Like Manet, Monet, Renoir etc were in search of new forms of art in order to escape from the rigid kind of art that was deeply rooted in the mind of the artist, later as the impressionism was developed, it was one of the most influential currents and which led to much controversy and artists continue to seek new ways to express. This was the moment in which they began to experiment with new tools like the visual arts as well as in architecture. We can not say that the popularity of Impressionism ended because it taught to artist & ordinary people that paintings painted in plain air where far more amazing and colorful than the ones painted in artist studios. Impressionism simply paved the way to the modern art.

The title of Monet's painting Impression, soleil levant.

As with nearly all artistic movements, some of "society" loved it, others thought it was alright, and some more hated it. To elaborate, artistic taste is one of those things that tends to vary greatly from person to person, so it is impossible to make generalizations about what "society" thinks about oen.

It was the early 1900's and the world was changing. WW1 was going on in Europe, the car had been invented, the phone and the phonograph invented, electricity was invented, and social mores were changing. The reflection of the world through the eyes of the impressionist was view of the natural world instead of the stiff posed figures and landscapes of the 1800's. Critical reviews were not good for the impressionist art form, but they eventually won fans.

No. Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement. You may want to read about its history and characteristics in the suggested link below.

Impressionism is a form of art that focuses mainly on the reflection of light. Monet was the first impressionist, however he was highly disrespected by critics after his first impressionist piece. This form of art still continues till now.

From your 11 year old friend.

The impressionist style of painting is characterized chiefly by concentration on the general impression produced by a scene or object and the use of unmixed primary colors and small brush strokes to simulate actual reflected light.

Impressionism began in the city of Paris, France, where four artists met in Café Guerbois.

Realism is a French term meaning Naturalistic Painting with a socio-polical message, where as Impressionism is a term that was used as derogatory, but the impressionist used as a label for themselves "which was to capture an instantaneous impression of a scene in nature."

Yes, they are.

Impressionism was considered revolutionary because the European Academies of the mid to late 19th century were still training artists in the Academic style which depicted landscapes and people in a realist style. The French Impressionists chose a more relaxed style with thicker paint (impasto) and a brighter pallet. The result was more distinct and artistic as opposed to the mundane repetitious images being pumped out by Academic artists.

Probably Claude Monet. He painted numerous scenes of water lilies and flowers. Another artist, technically a Post-Impressionist, Vincent van Gogh also painted apple blossoms, iris and sunflowers.

Two of the most prominent impressionist composers are Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.

Luncheon on the Grass

Characteristics of impressionist paintings include small, thin, yet visible brush strokes. Also included is open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities, an ordinary subject matter, and unusual visual angles.

No, the painting is a portrait of a woman named Lisa di Antonio Maria Gherardini.

Post-impression art is basically art before the abstract art movement, so these images were often quite realist.

It had no influence on the cubists. But the post-impressionists' free use of color was important to the fauves.

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
