IMPRESSIONISM

Concentrated on visual aspects of art Emphasized technique and juxtaposed colors

Painters worked outside – captured effects of light Color, tone, texture – muted greens, browns, grays Short strokes, dabs, or flecks

Paintings look vague from up close but more clear and precise at a distance

Included landscapes, trees, houses, people

IMPRESSIONISM

Developed in France in the late 19th and early 20th centuries

Influenced by Realist painters – Edouard Manet

POST-IMPRESSIONISM

Reaction against sensory nature and vagueness of Impressionism Advancement of Impressionist techniques and

styles Explored the inner world of mind and spirit

and the physical outer world More romantic, emotional, and shocking

than Impressionism Bright colors, sharp outlines

Each artist formed their own specific styles
