This document provides an overview of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism in painting.

Impressionism emerged in France in the 1870s, emphasizing color, light, and brushstrokes. Key Impressionists included Monet, Manet, and Renoir. Pointillism developed in the 1880s, using small dots of pure color.

Impressionism was an art movement that emerged in the second half of the 19th
century among a group of Paris-based artists. The duration of the impressionist
movement itself was quite short, less than 20 years from 1872 to the mid-1880s. But
it had a tremendous impact and influence on the painting styles that followed, such as
neo-impressionism, post-impressionism, fauvism, and cubism—and even the artistic
styles and movements of today.
The name impressionism was coined from the title of a work by French painter
Claude Monet, Impression, soleil levant (in English, Impression, Sunrise).
Impression, Sunrise
Claude Monet, 1872
Oil on canvas
The term precisely captured what this group of artists sought to represent 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 on canvas,
sometimes in mid-motion, at other times awkwardly positioned—just as it would be
in real life.

Romanticism
• Romanticism was named after the adventurous stories told in the
“Romance” languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian and
Romanian.) "Romance languages" originate from Latin, the language
spoken in the Western Roman Empire.
• Romanticism reacted against the logical, rational and objective truths
of Neoclassicism. Instead, Romanticists focused on individual
freedom, imagination, emotions, subjective reality, intuition and
originality.
• Romanticism lasted from about 1800-1890 and led to avant-garde
movements in the 20th century.
• Artists include Francisco Goya, Caspar David Friedrich, Henry Fuseli,
John Constable, J.M.W. Turner, Eugène Delacroix and Théodore
Géricault.

Realism
• “It is not a question, here, of seeking for an 'absolute' of beauty. The artist is neither
painting history nor his soul. What is termed 'composition' does not exist for him, and
he has not set himself the task of representing some abstract idea or some historical
episode. And it is because of this that he should neither be judged as a moralist nor as
a literary man. He should be judged simply as a painter.” –Émile Zola, (1840-1902)
• The Realism movement rejected both Romanticism and Neoclassicism. They focused
on everyday life, the reality of life. For them, art and life were one.
• Realist artists dared to make paintings of lower-class people, drawing attention to
social inequities. They also showed the animals and workers of the land, reminding
the “city folks” where their food came from, and the natural landscape that could be
forgotten in the cities.
• The Realist artists were perhaps the first “modern” artists. The movement was
roughly 1848-1900. Key artists were Gustave Courbet, Édouard.
