9. IMPRESSIONISM
 Impressionism developed in France
in the nineteenth century and is
based on the practice of painting
out of doors and spontaneously ‘on
the spot’ rather than in a studio from
sketches. Main impressionist
subjects were landscapes and
scenes of everyday life

10. Impressionism was developed
by Claude Monet and other
Paris-based artists from the
early 1860s. (Though the
process of painting on the spot
can be said to have been
pioneered in Britain by John
Constable in around 1813–17
through his desire to paint
nature in a realistic way).

11.  The first group exhibition was in
Paris in 1874 and included work
by Monet, Auguste Renoir, Edgar
Degas and Paul Cezanne. The
work shown was greeted with
derision with Monet’s Impression,
Sunrise particularly singled out for
ridicule and giving its name (used
by critics as an insult) to the
movement. Seven further
exhibitions were then held at

12. IMPRESSIONISM
 CLAUDE MONET – A true pioneer
of the Impressionism movement.
He was constantly exploring in
recording lights and nature through
painting. He had a long fascination
in this painting technique. He would
always go outdoors, or he would
stay in his garden to capture a
wonderful lighted landscape.

13. Impressionism, Sunrise (1872)

14. IMPRESSIONISM
 Paul Cézanne was indeed known
for his landscapes of Mont Sainte-
Victoire, the mountain near his
hometown of Aix-en-Provence,
France. Cézanne exhibited a
couple of times with the
Impressionists in the 1870s, and he
adopted many ideas about modern
art from them.

15. Cezanne is now known as a
Post-Impressionist and called
'the father of modern art'
because he showed how free
art could really be.
He encouraged artists to
explore colour, shape and
space without needing to make
sense in a traditional, realistic

16. A Modern Olympia (1874)

17. IMPRESSIONISM
 Van Gogh is today one of the most
popular of the Post-Impressionist
painters, although he was not
widely appreciated during his
lifetime. He is now famed for the
great vitality of his works which are
characterized by expressive and
emotive use of brilliant colour and
energetic application of impastoed

18. Starry Night

19. EXPRESSIONISM
 Expressionism is a modernist
movement, initially in poetry and
painting, originating in Northern
Europe around the beginning of the
20th century. Its typical trait is to
present the world solely from a
subjective perspective, distorting it
radically for emotional effect in
order to evoke moods or ideas.

20. Expressionism, In the visual
arts, artistic style in which the artist
depicts not objective reality but the
subjective emotions that objects or
events arouse. This aim is
accomplished through the
distortion and exaggeration of
shape and the vivid or violent
application of colour.

21. EXPRESSIONISM
 EDVARD MUNCH – He is the best-
known forerunner of Expressionism
movement. During his early life, his
tragic experiences in sickness,
insanity, unhappy love affairs and guilt
were his inspiration in his paintings.
Thus, he was able to paint Scream, a
painting the portrays fear and anxiety,
but he managed to make it beautiful.

22. The Scream (1893)

23. CUBISM
 Cubism was a revolutionary new
approach to representing
reality invented in around 1907–08 by
artists Pablo Picasso and Georges
Braque. They brought different views
of subjects (usually objects or figures)
together in the same picture, resulting
in paintings that appear fragmented
and abstracted.

24. CUBISM
PABLO PICASSO – He was the
leader of this movement, the first
one to use this unrealistic style.
Pablo Picasso along with George
Braque started the idea that all
shapes in nature are based on
geometric shapes. This includes, the
sphere, cone, and cylinder. The idea
of this movement was unfamiliar to
everybody back then.

25. The Three Musicians (1921)

26. SURREALISM
Surrealism is a style in art and
literature in which ideas,
images, and objects are
combined in a strange way, like
in a dream. His early work was
influenced by the European
surrealism of the 1930's.

27. The Persistence of Memory
(1931)

28. ABSTRACT
EXPRESSIONISM
 JACKSON POLLOCK – He was labeled
as “Jack the Dripper”. He abandoned
the standards of painting by creating his
own style. In his painting, Autumn
Rhythm, he went away from the
conventional painting by using brushes
instead he poured, flickered, dripped
commercial paints in a large canvass. It
expresses inner freedom by free
application, and images are not
preconceived but of creative process.
