2. Impressionism developed in the last quarter of the 19th century.
Impressionist art is a style in which the artist captures the image of an
objects as someone would see it if they just caught a glimpse of it. It is
also a theory that produces vividness, immediacy, and reflects the
experience upon the consciousness of the artist and the audience at that
particular moment.
Artist of this movement applied paint in small touches of color
rather than broad strokes, and painted outdoors to catch a particular
fleeting impression of color and light. The resulting paintings capture
images without detail but with bold bright colors.
3. Some of the famous artist:

- He painted everyday objects.

4. Edourd Manet (1832 – 1883) was the artist who bridge the
gap between Realism and Impressionism. His paintings was
characterized by the usage of contrasting tones that may appear to
be one-dimensional and although his paintings appear to be simple,
they were difficult to produce considering his dislike for layering
paints.
5. The Funeral is an 1867–1870
oil on canvas painting by Édouard
Manet, now in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York.
Incomplete, its style is very close
to that of Effect of Snow on Petit-
Montrouge and The Exposition
Universelle of 1867.
6. Claude Monet (1840 – 19260) was one of the French
founders of Impressionism movement. His style in painting used
variation of colors and lights and captured them by the daily or
seasonal changes in nature. This is the reason why he became one of
the well-known landscape painters in the history of art.
7. Impression, Sunrise is a
painting by Claude Monet first
shown at what would become
known as the "Exhibition of the
Impressionists" in Paris in April,
1874. The painting is credited
with inspiring the name of the
Impressionist movement.
Impression, Sunrise depicts the
port of Le Havre, Monet's
hometown.
8. Whereas, the Expressionism movement ushered in the new
standards in the creation and judgement of which is now expected to
come forth from the artist rather than from a depiction of the world.
Assessing an artist’s work was now based on the artist’s feelings rather
than an analysis of the composition. The artist of this movement
utilized swirling, swaying brushstrokes to show their personal
reactions to the anxieties of the modern world. They used a lot of
curved lines and bold colors in their representations that included
alienated individuals, who they used to comment on capitalism’s role
in the emotional distancing of individuals within cities. They also used
swaying brushstrokes to depict their subjects showing external art
movements.
9. Edvard Munch (1863 – 1944) was a Norweigian painter and
printmaker who pioneered the Expressionism Movement in modern
painting. His paintings are characterized by an intensely evocative
treatment of psychological themes displaying man’s dark side. He
used brilliant colors to depict death, agony, anxiety, and human
suffering. “The Scream” depicts the battle between the individual and
society.
10. The Scream is the popular
name given to a composition
created by Norwegian
Expressionist artist Edvard
Munch in 1893. The original
German title given by Munch to
his work was Der Schrei der
Natur, and the Norwegian title is
Skrik.
11. Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890) was a considered the
greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt. Each of his paintings provides
a direct sense of how he viewed each scene, interpreted through his
eyes, mind and heart which continued to influence artists movements
throughout the twentieth century up to the present day. The style and
content of his paintings involved a fusion of dramatic, imaginative,
rhythmic, and emotional qualities that convey far from than the mere
appearance of the subject. He used an impulsive, gestural application
of paint and symbolic colors to express subjective emotions. These
methods and practice came to define many subsequent modern
movements from Fauvism to Abstract Expression.
12. Starry Night, commonly known
as Starry Night Over the Rhône,
is one of Vincent van Gogh's
paintings of Arles at night. It was
painted on the bank of the Rhône
that was only a one or two-minute
walk from the Yellow House on
the Place Lamartine, which Van
Gogh was renting at the time.
