New !! Famous Painters of Impressionism
Men and Women and their Art


Monet
Impression:Sunrise
Impressionism is the most popular movement in Western art. Impressionism began as a new way of depicting the world with bold color to capture the fleeting effects of light and color in nature. The style was born in the 1850s and 1860s in the studios of Paris, by a group of independent painters who studied and worked together. For subjects they turned away from classical, religious and mythological topics, and looked at contemporary life and nearby landscapes. The painters chose modern subjects from daily life, the busy cafes and concerts of Paris and the countryside. The Impressionists also rejected the overworked highly finished surfaces of academic art in favor of an airy, unfinished look.

Dance at the Moulin De Gatte
In Impressionism, the goal of the painting was to recreate the sensation of the visual experience for the viewer, instead of recreating the subject. To the Impressionists, color was more important than line. They used distinct slabs of bright, bold color, and contrasting colors like red with green and blue with orange, to capture the effect of sparkling light. Shadows were indicated with color instead of black paint. They rejected the scrupulous realism that was the style of the day. Instead they depicted the fleeting impression of the moment, rather than the details of the subject."
