3. The term impressionism originated from an art critic, who commented that Monet’s painting was just an impression and that it looked un-finished. The impressionists adopted this term and decided to use it for their own benefit.

• early Impressionist painters were radicals, breaking many of the rules of painting that had been set by earlier generations.

Up until the Impressionists, history had been the accepted subject

Impressionists painted subjects in life around them
![Page 8: Impressionist art. 1. Impressionism was an art movement](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649dc55503460f94ab97e2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
they rejected attempts to portray ideal beauty,
and instead sought the natural beauty of their surroundings
![Page 9: Impressionist art. 1. Impressionism was an art movement](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649dc55503460f94ab97e2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• The impressionists captured a fresh and original vision that often seemed strange and unfinished to the general public.
![Page 10: Impressionist art. 1. Impressionism was an art movement](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649dc55503460f94ab97e2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sometimes they painted outside instead of in their studios. Outside they were able to observe nature more closely and to capture the range of sunlight.

6. Compositions are simplified and the emphasis is on the overall effect rather than on details.

What is Pointillism?Pointillism is a technique of painting in which a lot of tiny dots are combined to form a picture. The reason for doing pointillism instead of a picture with physical mixing is that, supposedly, physically mixing colors dulls them. Most of the painters of Seurat's time blended the colors to make a picture with a smoother feeling than Seurat's bright, dotty works.
![Page 22: Impressionist art. 1. Impressionism was an art movement](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649dc55503460f94ab97e2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Georges Seurat (1859-1891)
Georges Seurat was French painter who founded a painting style called pointillism. He began painting in the style of Impressionism but soon became more interested in scientific color theory. He is famous for using little dabs or points of pure bright color to paint. When viewed from a distance, the eye mixes the colors together
Seurat was the father of pointalism
![Page 23: Impressionist art. 1. Impressionism was an art movement](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649dc55503460f94ab97e2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Seurat's famous "A Sunday in the Park on the Island of La Grande Jatte" (more commonly known as "Sunday in the Park"), which covered a wall (81 inches by 120 inches), took him two years to complete. He was known for amazing devotion and concentration. The dots in a pointillist painting can be as small as 1/16 of an inch in diameter! Based on these measurements, "Sunday in the Park" has approximately 3,456,000 dots!

Edgar Degas, ”Ballet Rehearsal”, 1876.Degas’s fascination with patterns of motion
brought him to the Paris Opéra school of
ballet. His observations of classes there
became his main and most favorite subjects.
Degas frequent cutoff figures and objects,
such as the windows and the stairs indicate
his interest in capturing single moments in
time, like in photography, which is also used
in the process of his paintings. He would take
photographs to make preliminary studies for
his works.
The prominent diagonals of the wall bases and
the floorboards carry the viewers eyes
throughout the painting. The large, off-center
empty space in the center creates an illusion
that floor is continuous, thus connecting the
viewer to the painted figures, as though
viewers are on the same ground as the
dancers.
Degas, as well as other impressionist artists
acquainted with the 1860s “greatly admired
their spatial organization, the familiar and
intimate themes, and the flat unmodeled color
areas and drew much instruction from them.”
Edgar Degas

In the Salon of 1874, Degas admired a painting by a young American artist, Mary Cassatt (1844- 1926), the
daughter of a Philadelphia banker. “There”, he remarked, “is someone who feels as I do”. Degas befriended and
influenced Cassatt, who exhibited regularly with the Impressionists.
She had trained as a painter before moving to Europe to study masterworks in France and Italy. As a woman, she
could not easily frequent the cafes with her male artist friends, and she was responsible for the care of her aging
parents, who had moved to Paris to join her, two facts limiting her subject choices.
Because of these restrictions, Cassatt’s subjects were principally women and children, whom she presented
with a combination of objectivity and genuine sentiment. Works such as “The Bath” show the tender relationship
between a mother and child. Like Degas’s “The Tub”, the visual solidity of the mother and child contrasts with the
flattened patterning of the wallpaper and rug.
Cassatt’s style in this work owed much to the compositional devices of Degas and of Japanese prints, but the painting’s design has an originality and strength
all its own.
Mary Cassatt, ” The Bath”, 1892.

Paul Cezanne 1839-1906
Cezanne began painting outdoors in 1872 and exhibited with the Impressionists a few times before breaking with them in 1887.
Cezanne focused on arrangements geometric shapes
He believed that there was hidden order in nature seen in geometric forms.
His paintings are abstract, yet objects within them are recognizable. Cezanne's revolutionary theories and work lead to Cubism. Notice the geometric forms painted in the brushstrokes.
