Impressionism

Symbolism and Impressionism are two distinctly different movements in art and literature. Symbolism is an artistic and literary movement that began in the late 19th century, and is characterized by the use of symbols to express an idea or emotion. It is heavily influenced by the work of French poets such as Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine. By contrast, Impressionism is a school of painting that originated in France in the late 19th century and is characterized by the use of light and color to convey a mood or moment.

Symbolism is a form of expression that uses symbols to represent an idea, emotion, or concept. It is typically used to convey a spiritual or metaphysical meaning, and often has a strong link to mythology and the occult. Symbolism is often used to evoke a certain feeling or mood, and to create a sense of mystery, and the unknown. Symbolism is also used to explore the depths of the human soul, and to express ideas that lie beyond the boundaries of everyday life.

Impressionism, on the other hand, is a style of painting that uses light and color to create a mood or atmosphere. Impressionists use light, color, and brushstrokes to capture the fleeting impressions of a moment, and to convey a sense of movement and energy. Impressionists often painted outdoors, or “en plein air”, and focused on capturing the momentary effects of light and color. They also used broken brushstrokes and a bright color palette to convey a sense of spontaneity and immediacy.

In short, Symbolism is a form of expression that uses symbols to convey an idea or emotion, whereas Impressionism is a style of painting that uses light and color to capture the fleeting impressions of a moment.

Paul Gauguin. (He was a trader in the Paris stock exchange, more than a real banker.)

No - some of his pieces (especially some of the Nocturnes) have that trés espressif feel that is usually tied in with Impressionism, but he predates the real Impressionist period by a considerable distance, and this difference is further exaggerated because he died so young. He was definitely a precursor to it and influenced it greatly, but he himself was not Impressionist.

Neo-Impressionism and Pointillism are closely related but not identical. Neo-Impressionism is a broader movement that encompasses various techniques, including Pointillism, which specifically refers to the technique of applying small dots of color to create an image. While all Pointillists are considered Neo-Impressionists, not all Neo-Impressionists exclusively use Pointillism; some may employ other techniques within the movement's principles. Overall, Pointillism is a specific method within the larger framework of Neo-Impressionism.

Impressionist art does not focus on light, shading brush strokes or the depiction of real life. Rather, Impressionist art is composed of very obvious brush strokes and the vague idea of shapes and forms.

Monet

Impressionism. The syllable post- means after.

Edouard Manet is known as an impressionist, though he did not personally consider himself as one, he painted 'en plein air', in other words outside. in comparison to works of the old masters at that time his paintings were considered sketches almost, capturing a moment in time.

Yes they do. The Impressionists were fascinated by how light played over a surface or scene.

Impressionism was a style of art that became especially popular in the late 1800s. It was marked by visible brush strokes, giving the impression of movement and correct lighting, and an emphasis on color.

Impressionism was an art movement of the 19th century, which began as a private association of Paris-based artists who exhibited publicly in 1874.

The term impressionism originated from art critic Louis Leroy, who commented Monet's painting 'Impression: Soleil Levant'. Leroy said that it indeed was just an impression and that the work could not be considered finished.

Van Gogh - The creation of emotional impact with vivid colors

Seurat - The use of bright dots of color

Gauguin - An attempt to break free of European Styles

Cezanne - The use of multiple perspective and primary shapes

APEX

Impressionism is an art movement begun in France that sought to capture a moment in time and give the viewer an impression of what the artist had seen by capturing it in loose fast moving application of paint onto canvas. It was a reaction against the very realistic style that had come before it. The Post-impressionist artists, also French, were influenced by the Impressionists but they focused on color as their main expression and often used very bright and bold applications of color as opposed to the more pastel palettes of the Impressionists. The Post-impressionists also concentrated on technique in the application of their paint using thicker and even more obvious strokes than the Impressionists

An abbreviation is a way to shorten a longer word in order to save space when writing. There is no current abbreviation for impressionism.

Impressionism

Japanese Art influenced impressionism because it was so different to Western art of the time.

The Japanese used bright, bold colours and had a very flat perspective. Artists such as Van Gogh used this method, and their palettes became much brighter and bolder. Heavy outlining was also used in Japanese art with little tonal detail.
