IMPRESSIONISM

Page 3: End of the 19 th  century & beginning of the 20 th  century modern art

BACKGROUND TO THE IMPRESSIONIST PERIOD• Began in the 1860s• Centered in Paris around a loose collective of

artists/friends• Term “impressionists” coined as an insult of the painter

Claude Monet’s Impression – Sunrise (1872)• Argued that their paintings were just “impressions” or

sketches, not real paintings• Impressionist style spread to music and literature as well

as visual arts• Beginning of modern art?• Incredibly popular today

• 6 of 10 most expensive paintings are Impressionist or Post-Impressionist painters

Page 4: End of the 19 th  century & beginning of the 20 th  century modern art

A CRITIC OF THE IMPRESSIONISTS

• “Impression — I was certain of it. I was just telling myself that, since I was impressed, there had to be some impression in it … and what freedom, what ease of workmanship! Wallpaper in its embryonic state is more finished than that seascape.”

Page 5: End of the 19 th  century & beginning of the 20 th  century modern art

• Impressionists were rebels• Napoleon III’s Academie des Beaux-Arts

controlled the world of French painting (both content and style)• They wanted historical/religious themes, realistic

depictions and portraits• Each year it held a salon• The rebellious painters were rejected each year

• Eventually they were allowed to have their own salon (salon des refuses) in 1863

• Afterwards they were further rejected, so by 1873 they started their own “society”

BACKGROUND TO THE IMPRESSIONIST PERIOD

Page 6: End of the 19 th  century & beginning of the 20 th  century modern art

CHARACTERISTICS OF IMPRESSIONIST ART

• Broad quick brush strokes (to capture the “essence” of the subject)

• Emphasized overall “impression” of the scene rather than specific details

• Examined the effect of light and color on a scene

• Painted landscapes

• Painted candid portraits and depictions of regular life

• Emphasized spontaneity, bright color, and light

Page 7: End of the 19 th  century & beginning of the 20 th  century modern art

CHARACTERISTICS OF IMPRESSIONIST ART

• Mix wet paint together to create shadows, greys

• Otherwise, very little mixing of colors (The blending is in the eye of the viewer)

• Opaque surfaces to the painting

• Paint at different times of day (including evening)

• No harsh lines

• Emphasize natural light

• Naturalistic scenes of everyday life, people and landscapes

Page 8: End of the 19 th  century & beginning of the 20 th  century modern art

CHARACTERISTICS OF IMPRESSIONIST ART• Impressionist style was not “brand new”• Just anti-establishment• NOTE: Impressionism was not a rebellion against

photographic “realism”. Impressionists were inspired by photography• Wanted to capture intimate day-to-day moments in life• They explored what photography lacked (i.e. color)

• Spiritual forefathers include:• Diego Velasquez• Peter Paul Rubens• J.M.W. Turner• Eugene Delacroix• Gustave Courbet

EXPRESSIONISM

Page 112: End of the 19 th  century & beginning of the 20 th  century modern art

EXPRESSIONISM• Indebted to Freud

• Art tries to penetrate the façade of bourgeois superficiality and probe the psyche—that which lurks beneath an individual’s calm and artificial posture

• Paintings illustrated the artist’s state of mind rather than the material world

Page 113: End of the 19 th  century & beginning of the 20 th  century modern art

CHARACTERISTICS OF EXPRESSIONISM

• Subliminal anxiety

• Dissonance in color and perspective

• Pictorial violence—manifest* and latent**• *Manifest (adj) readily perceived by the eye or the understanding; evident; obvious; plain

• **Latent (adj) present or potential but not visible, apparent, or realized

• A new way of seeing

• A view of the world as a mosaic of multiple relationships

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM

• Nonrepresentational art

• No climaxes

• Flattened-out planes; and values

• The real appearance of forms in nature is subordinated to an aesthetic concept of form composed of shapes, lines and colors

Page 133: End of the 19 th  century & beginning of the 20 th  century modern art

CHARACTERISTICS OF ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM

• Personal and subjective interpretation

• “you see what you want to…”
