9. Impressionism, Sunrise
“A break from past painting traditions” The name
impressionism was coined from the title of a work
by French painter Claude Monet, Impression, soleil
levant (in English, Impression Sunrise). The term
precisely captured what this group of artists
sought to present in their works: the viewer’s
momentary “impression” of an image. It was not
intended to be clear or precise, but more like a
fleeting fragment of reality caught in a canvas,
sometimes mid motion, at other times awkwardly
positioned-just as it would be in real life.
10. ● A style of painting that began in France
around 1870.
● Uses spots of colors to show effect of
different kinds of light
● Attempt to capture feelings of a scene
rather than specific details.
Impressionism
11. By the 1870s, the stage was set for the
emergence of the next major art movement in
Europe, impressionism. It started with a group of
French painters—that included Edouard Manet,
Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir—and eventually
spread to other countries, such as Italy, Germany,
and The Netherlands.

18. After the brief yet highly influential period of impressionism,
an outgrowth movement known as post-impressionism emerged.
The European artists who were at the forefront of this movement
continued using the basic qualities of the impressionists before
them—the vivid colors, heavy brush strokes, and true-to-life subjects.
However, they expanded and experimented with these in bold new
ways, like using a geometric approach, fragmenting objects and
distorting people’s faces and body parts, and applying colors that
were not necessarily realistic or natural. Two of the foremost post-
impressionists were Paul Cézanne and Vincent Van Gogh.

26. ● Expressionism was a modernist movement, initially in poetry and
painting, originating in Germany at the beginning of the 20th
century.
● It is a theory or practice in art of seeking to depict the subjective
emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in the
artist.
● Expressionist artist created work with more emotional force rather
than with realistic or natural images.
