IMPRESSIONISM

IMPRESSIONISM
-IS A MOVEMENT IN PAINTING THAT
ORIGINATED IN FRANCE IN THE LATE
TH
19 CENTURY.
-IMPRESSIONIST PAINTER’S ARE “RULE
BREAKER”
WHY?
BECAUSE THEY FOUND THEIR SUBJECTS
IN LIFE AROUND THEM RATHER THAN THE
HISTORY
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DEPICTS
WHAT THEY SAW AT A GIVEN
MOMENT CAPTURING A FRESH, AND
ORIGINAL VISION
IMPRESSIONIST PAINTERS WANT TO
OBSERVE NATURE MORE DIRECTLY
AND SET DOWN ITS MOST FLEETING
THE CHANGING LIGHT OF SUN.
EXAMPLE:
SUNRISE 1872
BY CLAUDE MONET
CHARACTERISTICS OF
IMPRESSIONISM
1. IMPRESSIONISTS PAINT QUICKLY IN ORDER TO
CAPTURE THE “IMPRESSION” OF THE SUBJECT RIGHT
AT THE MOMENT. AS YOU AN TELL, IMPRESSIONIST
ARE MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN CONVEYING
MOOD, AND ATMOSPHERE WITH THEIR PAINTING
THAN CREATING A DETAILED A LIFELIKE REPLICA OF
THEIR SUBJECT.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE MOOD OF THIS
PAINTING???
Seventeenth-century
French artist Claude
Lorrain’s stylized, ideal
landscapes influenced
many later artists,
particularly English
landscape painters. His
Harbor at Sunset,
painted in 1639, is in the
Louvre museum in Paris,
France.
2. TIME AND MOTION ARE ALSO CONSCIOUS
ELEMENTS IN THE WORKS OF THE
IMPRESSIONISTS. THEY CONCENTRATE ON
PAINTING THE CHANGES IN COLOR AND
SHAPES CAUSED BY LIGHT AT DIFFERENT TIMES
OF THE DAY. IN THIS WAY, IMPRESSIONISTS ARE
KNOWN TO WORK LIKE SCIENTISTS BECAUSE
THEY WANT TO CATCH THE TRUE EFFECT OF
DAYLIGHT ON THE OBJECTS.
3. THEY ALSO PREFER PAINTING OUTDOORS
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT THE COLOR OF
SHADE IS INFLUENCED BY THE SURROUNDING
COLORS, AND THEREFORE, MUST SHINE AND
FILTER AND THROUGH THE SCENE AND FLOOD
ONTO THE OBJECTS IN THE PAINTING.
EXAMPLE: IN 1876 AND 1877
FRENCH ARTIST CLAUDE MONET
PRODUCED A SERIES OF PAINTINGS
OF THE SAINT-LAZARE RAILWAY
STATION NEAR HIS APARTMENT IN
PARIS. LIKE OTHER IMPRESSIONIST
PAINTERS, MONET OFTEN DEPICTED
SCENES OF MODERN URBAN LIFE
LIKE THE STEAM-FILLED RAILWAY
SHED IN GARE SAINT-LAZARE
(1877, MUSÉE D'ORSAY, PARIS)
4. THEY USE OF TINY DABS AND DASHES OF
BRIGHT COLORS THAT ARE MIXED FROM PURE
HUES AND BROKEN UP WITH THEIR OPPOSITE
COLORS SEEM TO BLEND AS YOU LOOK AT
THEM FROM DISTANCE.

5. THEIR SUBJECTS USUALLY INCLUDE THE


PEOPLE OF THE CITY LIFE INVOLVED IN
EVERYDAY EVENTS, WHICH MAY SEEM
UNIMPORTANT WHEN COMPARED WITH THE
GRAND SUBJECTS PAINTED BY EARLIER ARTISTS.
IMPRESSIONIST
1. CLAUDE MONET- IS A PIONEER
OF THE IMPRESSIONIST WAS
CONSTANTLY EXPLORING” WHAT
DO I SEE AND HOW DO I RECORD
IT IN PAINTING” MONET HAS A
LONG-LASTIN FASCINATION IN
OBSERVING AND PAINTING LIGHT
AND NATURE.
PIERRE- AUGUSTE RENOIR
RENOIR STUDIED PAINTING WITH SEVERAL OTHER PAINTERS
WHO BECAME KNOWN AS THE IMPRESSIONISTS. RENOIR
LIKE PAINT LIVELY GROUP OF FIGURES. HE USUALLY USED
THE MAIDS IN HIS HOUSE AS HIS MODELS. RENOIRS
PICTURES WERE FULL OF SKETCHY PATCHES OF COLOR
AND CONTRASTS OF LIGHT AND SHADE. RENOIR PAINTED
MORE THAN 6000 PAINTINGS. EVEN WHEN HE BECAME
CRIPPLED IN OLD AGE, HE CARRIED ON PAINTING BY
WEDGING BRUSHES BETWEEN HIS TWISTED FINGERS.
FAMOUS FILIPINO IMPRESSIONIST
