*Impressionism

*During impressionism, artists discovered that they could paint en plein air (meaning in open air, or outside).

*No longer in a studio, artists were seeing portraits, landscapes, and still life in a new way.

*Impressionism began in the 1860’s, but the first show was not until 1874.

*The movement “Impressionism” was not named until Claude Monet’s Impressionism: Sunrise of 1873.

*Another impression work by Claude Monet is Water Lilies of 1916.

Menu

*Neo-Impressionism

*A movement invented by Georges Seurat to describe his 1886 painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.

*Neo-impressionism was a new method for painters drawn to modern urban scenes like landscapes and seashores. Two main techniques:

*Pointillism

*Divisionism

Menu

*Pointillism

*A neo-impressionist idea in which dots of colors are placed in a pattern to form an image.

*An example of this exact technique would be the 1887 Self Portrait by Vincent van Gogh.

Menu

*Divisionism

*Also a technique using dots of color, however in this form the dots are seperated by color and work together optically, or for strong visual impression.

*The color wheel by Charles Blanc was influential to the theory.

*An example of divisionism is the 1890 Portrait of Felix Feneon by Paul Signic.
