ARTS 10 First Quarter

2. IMPRESSIONISM
•IT WAS AN ART MOVEMENT
THAT EMERGED IN THE SECOND
HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY
AMONG PARIS-BASED ARTISTS.

3. •IT LASTED FOR LESS THAN 20 YEARS FROM 1872-MID- 1880S.
•IT IS COINED FROM THE TITLE OF A WORK BY FRENCH PAINTER CLAUDE
MONET (IMPRESSION, SOLLEIL LEVANT) (ENGLISH- IMPRESSION,
SUNRISE).
•THE TERM PRECISELY CAPTURED WHAT THIS GROUP OF ARTISTS
SOUGHT TO REPRESENT IN THEIR WORKS: THE VIEWER’S MOMENTARY
“IMPRESSION” OF AN IMAGE.
•IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE CLEAR OR PRECISE
•IT IS MORE LIKE A FLEETING FRAGMENT OF REALITY

5. INFLUENCE OF DELACROIX
•ONE OF THE MAJOR INFLUENCES OF IMPRESSIONISM WAS THE
WORK OF FRENCH PAINTER EUGENE DELACROIX.
•HE WAS GREATLY ADMIRED AND EMULATED BY THE EARLY
IMPRESSIONISTS – SPECIFICALLY FOR HIS USE OF EXPRESSIVE
BRUSH STROKES, EMPHASIS ON MOVEMENT RATHER THAN ON
CLARITY OF FORM AND MOST OF ALL, HIS STUDY OF THE OPTICAL
EFFECTS OF COLOR.

7. IMPRESSIONISM IN EUROPE
•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 INCLUDING
EDOUARD MANET, CLAUDE MONET, AUGUSTE RENOIR AND
EVENTUALLY SPREAD TO OTHER COUNTRIES SUCH AS ITALY,
GERMANY AND THE NETHERLANDS.

8. EDOUARD MANET (1832-1883)
•HE IS ONE OF THE FIRST 19TH CENTURY ARTISTS WHO
DEPICTED MODERN LIFE SUBJECTS.

10. CLAUDE MONET (1840-1926)
•HE WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE IMPRESSIONIST MOVEMENT ALONG
WITH HIS FRIENDS AUGUSTE RENOIR, ALFRED SISLEY, AND FREDERIC BAZILLE.

THE MOST INFLUENTIAL FIGURE IN THE MOVEMENT.

THOSE DEPICTING HIS BELOVED FLOWER GARDENS AND WATER LILY PONDS AT
HIS HOME.

12. AUGUSTE RENOIR (1841-1919)
•HE WAS ONE OF THE CENTRAL FIGURES OF THE IMPRESSIONIST
MOVEMENT.
•HIS EARLY WORKS WERE SNAPSHOTS OF REAL LIFE, FULL OF SPARKLING
COLOR AND LIGHT.
•BY THE MID-1880S, HE BROKE AWAY FROM THE IMPRESSIONIST
MOVEMENT TO APPLY A MORE DISCIPLINED AND FORMAL TECHNIQUE OF
PORTRAITS OF ACTUAL PEOPLE AND FIGURE PAINTINGS.

14. POST-IMPRESSIONISM
•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 WERE 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 FACE AND BODY PARTS, AND APPLYING COLORS THAT WERE
NOT NECESSARILY REALISTIC OR NATURAL.

15. PAUL CEZANNE (1839-1906)
•HE IS A FRENCH ARTIST AND POST-IMPRESSIONIST PAINTER.
•HIS WORKS EXEMPLIFIED TRANSITION FROM THE LATE 19TH
CENTURY IMPRESSIONISM TO A NEW AND RADICALLY DIFFERENT
WORLD OF ART IN THE 20TH CENTURY PAVING THE WAY FOR THE
NEXT REVOLUTIONARY ART MOVEMENT KNOWN AS
EXPRESSIONISM.

17. VINCENT VAN GOGH (1853-1890)
•A POST-IMPRESSIONIST PAINTER FROM THE NETHERLANDS.
•HIS WORKS WERE REMARKABLE FOR THEIR STRONG, HEAVY BRUSH
STROKES, INTENSE EMOTIONS, AND COLORS THAT APPEARED TO
ALMOST PULSE WITH ENERGY.
•HIS STRIKING STYLE WAS TO HAVE A FAR-REACHING INFLUENCE ON 20TH
CENTURY ART, WITH HIS WORKS BECOMING AMONG THE MOST
RECOGNIZED IN THE WORLD.
