Arguments Against Impressionist Art

During this time he was involved with an independent group of artists known as the Impressionists. The Impressionists movement developed as a result of the growing deviation by artists such as Renoir, Manet and Pissarro to traditional artistic compositions and techniques in favour of the modernist idioms of contemporary subject matter and unusual visual angles. This modern approach resulted in arguments between art traditionalists and modernists, with technical ability and competence becoming main focuses. Consequently Cezanne's work was heavily criticised by traditionalist defenders as lacking artistic aptitude and non-conformity to customary artistic regimes, one supporter of his work commented how Cezanne 'has been most maligned and misjudged over the past fifteen years by press and public alike' (Riviere, 1877, in Harrision, 2008

Regarding Impressionist art, Édouard Manet, another influential Impressionist artist, has even been quoted as saying that, “There are no lines in nature, only areas of color, one against another”. I believe that Impressionist art was truly a groundbreaking movement in regards to modern art movement because Impressionist works of art left room for the viewers’ interpretation. Until this time, works of art had intended meanings which were decided by the wealthy patrons who had been commissioning their desired works of

The impressionist movement was a leap away from traditional art and a innovative style that would capture the hearts of many. Although, the elimination on detail and lines would be seen as blasphemous to true art to some. The new style of using light ground and working up with dark colors would breed some brilliant work. For instance, Vincent Van Gogh's painting entitled, "Starry Night" makes you really just want to sit and marvel in its beauty. Van Gogh's paintings seemed to be painted in quick passionate and precise strokes which effortlessly create unique and breathtaking pieces of art. Although, they were painted in passion I was blown away when I heard of the amount of detail and sketching that went into a lot of Van Gogh's work. I appreciate

I also agree with Henri Cartier-Bresson I don’t think everyone’s first couple of photos is that great. For me I know my work isn’t the best but right now

The art work by Marcel Duchamp was considered scandalous in 1913 because no one really seen any art like this from Europe. So, this art was considered scandalous because the artwork of “cubism” really stood out and it was made from many point of views and in the article of this painting it states, “Former President Theodore Roosevelt visited the show and later and called Duchamp’s painting repellent from every standpoint.” As Theodore said this about the painting it attracted many more people and admired the real beauty of artwork from Europe.

Art, according to Webster's Dictionary, is a human skill of expression of other objects by painting, drawing, and sculpture. People have used art as a form of expression for a long time. From the Mesopotamian era to the Classical Greeks and the present. Art is expressed in many different ways and styles, and is rapidly changing, one style replacing another. Impressionism and Cubism broke away from the traditional style of painting. They were both looking for a new way to express everyday life. Time is an important tool that is used in Cubism as well as Impressionism. This element is expressed in Claude Monet's Sunrise and Pablo Picasso's Man with a Violin in different ways.

But the artists who would become known as the Impressionists (including Claude Monet, Mary 5,Camille Pissarro) looked at art a little differently—they wanted to make art as truly

This essay analyses the aesthetic and ideological underpinnings of the Modernist artwork, Impression, Sunrise of Claude Monet. The artwork and Impressionism is considered to be a visual articulation of the avant-garde and the latter statement is explained. References to the writings of Charles Harrison, Clement Greenberg and Wilhelm Worringer is used to theorise the aesthetics of modernity.

Impressionism: Impressionism is a method used in music videos that sets a concept around a subject. Get Away is a gong by a man and woman named Snoop Lion and Angela Hunte and came out in January 2014. The music video fits into the style of both animation, homage and impressionist. It pays homage to the '90s themed Pokemon Games. Nostalgia will stream for fans of the old Game Boy release as they watch an 8-bit version of Snoop Lion touring the rebuilt world reminiscent of the original games. He even fights a trainer, Major Lazer, who co-produced the track. I like this idea since it is virtually a form of referencing and this video will appeal to Snoop Lion's fans as well as fans of the Pokemon games. From this video, we can easily guess the

Modernism is an art movement that is characterized by a deliberate departure from tradition to a more expressive form that distinguishes many styles in the arts and literature of the late nineteenth and twentieth century. Emile Bernard was part of this modern art movement as can be seen in his painting, "Breton Woman and Haystacks", painted around 1888. Impressionists were modern artists who tended to paint outside landscapes and street scenes and were concerned with the effects of light. Bernard was a Post-Impressionist artist who considered Impressionism too casual or too naturalistic, and sought a means of exploring emotion in paint. Bernard's work, "Breton Woman and Haystacks", depicts a woman in

Impressionism as an historical art period is best described as a shift in thinking and focus. This paradigm shift, away from realism and toward individualism, began a centuries long transformation of self-expression in art as a whole. Impressionism is generally considered a French movement and is typically defined as spanning from approximately 1867 to 1886. Impressionism is best embodied by and was perhaps initiated by Claud Monet in such world-renowned works as Impressions: soleil levant which lent its name to the style and subsequently the art period as a whole.

Impressionist art, in its spectacular focus on atmosphere and the elusively delicate movement of light and air, such as Monet's ethereal "Vetheuil in the Fog" (1879), was innovative, going against everything taught as traditional and proper by the Salon authority. We see artists such as Manet defying artistic traditions with racy confrontation in "Le déjeuner sur l'herbe" (1863), and impressions of modern middle class life, rather than historical figures, as we see in Cassett's "At the Opera" (1880). Impressionists captured instants in time in the lives of the middle class people, rather than the classical focus on divine scenes or images of the elite. The ground-breaking beliefs and styles of the Impressionists, along with their persistence

     Impressionism began during the 19th century. An example of an artist’s beliefs influencing his art can be seen in the works of Pierre Auguste Renoir. It is documented that he felt that art should be different from the real world, which can be cold and harsh. He said, “Why shouldn’t art be pretty?” and “There are enough unpleasant things in the world.” An example of his attitude towards art can be seen in ‘A Girl with a Watering Can’ from 1876. This picture can easily be interpreted as being beautiful and therefore it proves that his belief of art is true. ‘Dance at Bougival’ from 1883, is yet another example of the artist and the inspiration for the art. By painting an attractive scene with two people dancing accompanied by laughing faces in the background we see a correlation between his quotes above and this piece. Therefore, one can conclude that Renoir painted mostly beautiful and attractive art.

The impressionist was given their name by an artist named Claude Monet. He created a unique piece entitled “Impression: Sunrise” that helped define the impressionist movement in art. The group of artist that made up this group was small, and their ideas were often criticized. Following the impressionist, was the post-impressionist period. This group of artists felt that the impressionists were neglecting too many traditional elements. Post-impressionist art was a reaction against impressionism.

Impressionism emerged in France during the late half of the 19th century and could be considered one of the first distinctly modern movement in painting. It was often rejected by many scholars for they believed it lacked a certain “high quality” or “polished” look that was seen in works of art in the past. The “idea” of Impressionism was for the artist to paint in the moment, to capture the sensory effect of the scene and in order to create this affect Impressionists moved from the studio to the streets painting in what is known as, “en plein air.” In order to create this aesthetic Impressionist worked with loose brushstrokes and lightened their palattes to achieve pure and intense colors. Traditional linear perspective was thrown out as well as clarity of form and the idea that
