What is Impressionism?

Impressionism was an artistic movement that developed mainly in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries

The style of impressionism focuses on small stokes of mainly primary colors, and the traditional impressionist painters did not use black paint in their works

The impressionist painters were able to accurately capture the look of sunlight and movement

Most impressionists painted en plein air, which is translated to mean “in the open air” and means that they painted outside rather than in a studio

The French public were harsh in their reviews of impressionism at first, but eventually they came to appreciate the new style

The Impact of Impressionism in

America It was introduced in the United States around 1885-1890 Many leading American artists traveled to Paris, learned

the style of impressionism, then brought it back to America where it was accepted a lot more widely than it had been in France

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Californian artists created a new style based off of French Impressionism and called it Californian Impressionism; modern landscape painting is based off of this style

In 1887, the first exhibition of a single impressionist artist was held at Boston's St. Botolph Club for Claude Monet

In 1898, ten artists (known as “The Ten”) who were inspired by impressionism left the National Academy of Design and the Society of American Artists and lead the way to modern art by defending impressionism from skeptics and helping other American artists escape from the outdated art concepts of the past
