IMPRESSIONISM AS DEFINED BY WIKIPEDIA. I DID NOT WRITE THIS ARTICLE. I edited portions which were pertinent to photographs of paintings not exhibited in this short article. Impressionism From Wikipedia THE ABOVE OIL PAINTING BY CLAUDE MONET...might be the work that began what is called the impressionist movement or IMPRESSIONISM. It is Monet's impression of a sunrise, "soleil levant" 1872 oil on canvas.Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s. The name of the style is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work ABOVE which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari.Characteristics of Impressionist paintings include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes; open composition; emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time); common, ordinary subject matter; the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience; and unusual visual angles. The development of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous styles in other media which became known as Impressionist music and Impressionist literature.The term "Impressionism" can also be used to describe art created in this style, but not during the late 19th century. Alfred Sisley,

They began by constructing their pictures from freely brushed colours that took precedence over lines and contours, following the example of painters such as Eugène Delacroix. They also painted realistic scenes of modern life, and often painted outdoors. Previously, still lifes and portraits as well as landscapes had usually been painted in the studio.The Impressionists found that they could capture the momentary and transient effects of sunlight by painting en plein air. They portrayed overall visual effects instead of details, and used short

Encompassing what its adherents argued was a different way of seeing, it was an art of immediacy and movement, of candid poses and compositions, of the play of light expressed in a bright and varied use of colour.The public, at first hostile, gradually came to believe that the Impressionists had captured a fresh and original vision, even if the new style did not receive the approval of the art critics and establishment.By recreating the sensation in the eye that views the subject, rather than delineating the details of the subject, and by creating a welter of techniques and forms, Impressionism became a precursor of various styles of painting, including Neo-Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism.IMPRESSIONISM was also accepted by the artists themselves, even though they were a diverse group in style and temperament, unified primarily by their spirit of independence and rebellion. They exhibited together—albeit with shifting membership—eight times between 1874 and 1886.Monet, Sisley, Morisot, and Pissarro may be considered the "purest" Impressionists, in their consistent pursuit of an art of spontaneity, sunlight, and colour. Degas rejected much of this, as he believed in the primacy of drawing over colour and belittled the practice of painting outdoors.Renoir turned away from Impressionism for a time during the 1880s, and never entirely regained his commitment to its ideas. Édouard Manet, despite his role as a leader to the group, never abandoned his liberal use of black as a colour, and never participated in the Impressionist exhibitions. He continued to submit his works to the Salon, where his painting Spanish Singer had won a 2nd class medal in 1861, and he urged the others to do likewise, arguing that "the Salon is the real field of battle" where a reputation could be made.Impressionists took advantage of the mid-century introduction of premixed paints in lead tubes (resembling

Previously, painters made their own paints individually, by grinding and mixing dry pigment powders with linseed oil, which were then stored in animal bladders.[12]Another major influence was Japanese art prints (Japonism), which had come into France originally as wrapping paper for imported goods. The art of these prints contributed significantly to the "snapshot" angles and unconventional compositions which would become characteristic of the style.Main Impressionists Frédéric Bazille (1841–1870) Gustave Caillebotte (who, younger than the others, joined forces with them in the mid 1870s) (1848–1894) Mary Cassatt (American-born, she lived in Paris and participated in four Impressionist exhibitions) (1844–1926) Paul Cézanne (although he later broke away from the Impressionists) (1839–1906) Edgar Degas (a realist who despised the term Impressionist, but is considered one, due to his loyalty to the group) (1834–1917) Armand Guillaumin (1841–1927) Édouard Manet (who did not regard himself, nor is he generally considered, as an Impressionist, but who supported the Impressionists and was a great influence on them), (1832–1883) Claude Monet (the most prolific of the Impressionists and the one who embodies their aesthetic most obviously)[17] (1840–1926) Berthe Morisot (1841–1895)
