17/6 As A Mixed Number

19th-century art movement

Impressionism was a 19th-century fine art movement characterized by relatively minor, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open limerick, emphasis on authentic delineation of low-cal in its irresolute qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of fourth dimension), ordinary subject thing, unusual visual angles, and inclusion of motion as a crucial chemical element of human perception and experience. Impressionism originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s.

The Impressionists faced harsh opposition from the conventional fine art customs in French republic. The proper noun of the style derives from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to money the term in a satirical review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari. The development of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous styles in other media that became known as impressionist music and impressionist literature.

Overview [edit]

Radicals in their time, early Impressionists violated the rules of bookish painting. They constructed their pictures from freely brushed colours that took precedence over lines and contours, following the example of painters such equally Eugène Delacroix and J. M. West. Turner. They too painted realistic scenes of modern life, and oftentimes painted outdoors. Previously, still lifes and portraits also as landscapes were usually painted in a studio.^[1] The Impressionists found that they could capture the momentary and transient effects of sunlight by painting outdoors or en plein air. They portrayed overall visual effects instead of details, and used brusque "broken" brush strokes of mixed and pure unmixed colour—not blended smoothly or shaded, equally was customary—to accomplish an effect of intense colour vibration.

Impressionism emerged in France at the same time that a number of other painters, including the Italian artists known as the Macchiaioli, and Winslow Homer in the U.s.a., were also exploring plein-air painting. The Impressionists, nonetheless, developed new techniques specific to the style. Encompassing what its adherents argued was a different way of seeing, information technology is an art of immediacy and motion, of aboveboard poses and compositions, of the play of light expressed in a brilliant and varied apply of colour.

The public, at outset hostile, gradually came to believe that the Impressionists had captured a fresh and original vision, fifty-fifty if the art critics and fine art establishment disapproved of the new style. By recreating the awareness in the eye that views the subject area, rather than delineating the details of the subject, and by creating a welter of techniques and forms, Impressionism is a precursor of various painting styles, including Neo-Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism.

Ancestry [edit]

In the centre of the 19th century—a time of change, as Emperor Napoleon 3 rebuilt Paris and waged war—the Académie des Beaux-Arts dominated French art. The Académie was the preserver of traditional French painting standards of content and style. Historical subjects, religious themes, and portraits were valued; landscape and still life were not. The Académie preferred carefully finished images that looked realistic when examined closely. Paintings in this style were made up of precise castor strokes carefully composite to hide the artist'due south paw in the work.^[iii] Colour was restrained and frequently toned down farther by the application of a golden varnish.^[iv]

The Académie had an annual, juried art evidence, the Salon de Paris, and artists whose work was displayed in the show won prizes, garnered commissions, and enhanced their prestige. The standards of the juries represented the values of the Académie, represented by the works of such artists every bit Jean-Léon Gérôme and Alexandre Cabanel.

In the early on 1860s, 4 young painters—Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frédéric Bazille—met while studying under the bookish artist Charles Gleyre. They discovered that they shared an interest in painting landscape and contemporary life rather than historical or mythological scenes. Following a practice—pioneered by artists such as the Englishman John Constable—^[5] that had go increasingly pop past mid-century, they oft ventured into the countryside together to pigment in the open air.^[6] Their purpose was not to make sketches to be developed into advisedly finished works in the studio, equally was the usual custom, but to consummate their paintings out-of-doors.^[seven] By painting in sunlight directly from nature, and making bold utilise of the vivid synthetic pigments that had become available since the beginning of the century, they began to develop a lighter and brighter manner of painting that extended further the Realism of Gustave Courbet and the Barbizon school. A favourite meeting place for the artists was the Café Guerbois on Avenue de Clichy in Paris, where the discussions were frequently led by Édouard Manet, whom the younger artists greatly admired. They were soon joined by Camille Pissarro, Paul Cézanne, and Armand Guillaumin.^[eight]

During the 1860s, the Salon jury routinely rejected nigh one-half of the works submitted by Monet and his friends in favour of works by artists faithful to the approved style.^[ix] In 1863, the Salon jury rejected Manet'due south The Luncheon on the Grass (Le déjeuner sur fifty'herbe) primarily considering it depicted a nude adult female with ii clothed men at a picnic. While the Salon jury routinely accepted nudes in historical and allegorical paintings, they condemned Manet for placing a realistic nude in a contemporary setting.^[ten] The jury's severely worded rejection of Manet's painting appalled his admirers, and the unusually large number of rejected works that year perturbed many French artists.

After Emperor Napoleon III saw the rejected works of 1863, he decreed that the public be immune to approximate the work themselves, and the Salon des Refusés (Salon of the Refused) was organized. While many viewers came simply to express mirth, the Salon des Refusés drew attention to the existence of a new tendency in art and attracted more visitors than the regular Salon.^[11]

Artists' petitions requesting a new Salon des Refusés in 1867, and again in 1872, were denied. In December 1873, Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas and several other artists founded the Société Anonyme Coopérative des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs ("Cooperative and Anonymous Clan of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers") to exhibit their artworks independently.^[12] Members of the association were expected to forswear participation in the Salon.^[13] The organizers invited a number of other progressive artists to join them in their inaugural exhibition, including the older Eugène Boudin, whose example had beginning persuaded Monet to adopt plein air painting years before.^[14] Another painter who greatly influenced Monet and his friends, Johan Jongkind, declined to participate, equally did Édouard Manet. In total, thirty artists participated in their showtime exhibition, held in April 1874 at the studio of the photographer Nadar.

The critical response was mixed. Monet and Cézanne received the harshest attacks. Critic and humorist Louis Leroy wrote a scathing review in the paper Le Charivari in which, making wordplay with the title of Claude Monet's Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), he gave the artists the name by which they became known. Derisively titling his article "The Exhibition of the Impressionists", Leroy alleged that Monet's painting was at most, a sketch, and could hardly be termed a finished piece of work.

He wrote, in the grade of a dialogue between viewers,

"Impression—I was certain of it. I was simply telling myself that, since I was impressed, there had to exist some impression in information technology ... and what liberty, what ease of workmanship! Wallpaper in its embryonic state is more finished than that seascape."^[15]

The term Impressionist quickly gained favour with the public. It was also accepted past the artists themselves, fifty-fifty 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 betwixt 1874 and 1886. The Impressionists' way, with its loose, spontaneous brushstrokes, would soon go synonymous with modern life.^[four]

Monet, Sisley, Morisot, and Pissarro may exist 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 cartoon over colour and belittled the practice of painting outdoors.^[xvi] Renoir turned away from Impressionism for a time during the 1880s, and never entirely regained his commitment to its ideas. Édouard Manet, although regarded by the Impressionists as their leader,^[17] never abandoned his liberal use of black equally a colour (while Impressionists avoided its utilize and preferred to obtain darker colours by mixing), and never participated in the Impressionist exhibitions. He connected 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 practice likewise, arguing that "the Salon is the real field of battle" where a reputation could be made.^[xviii]

Among the artists of the core group (minus Bazille, who had died in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870), defections occurred as Cézanne, followed afterward past Renoir, Sisley, and Monet, abstained from the grouping exhibitions so they could submit their works to the Salon. Disagreements arose from problems such as Guillaumin'southward membership in the group, championed by Pissarro and Cézanne confronting opposition from Monet and Degas, who thought him unworthy.^[19] Degas invited Mary Cassatt to display her work in the 1879 exhibition, but also insisted on the inclusion of Jean-François Raffaëlli, Ludovic Lepic, and other realists who did not stand for Impressionist practices, causing Monet in 1880 to charge the Impressionists of "opening doors to first-come daubers".^[xx] The group divided over invitations to Paul Signac and Georges Seurat to exhibit with them in 1886. Pissarro was the just artist to show at all eight Impressionist exhibitions.

The individual artists accomplished few financial rewards from the Impressionist exhibitions, but their art gradually won a degree of public acceptance and support. Their dealer, Durand-Ruel, played a major role in this as he kept their work earlier the public and arranged shows for them in London and New York. Although Sisley died in poverty in 1899, Renoir had a smashing Salon success in 1879.^[21] Monet became secure financially during the early 1880s and then did Pissarro by the early 1890s. By this time the methods of Impressionist painting, in a diluted grade, had become commonplace in Salon fine art.^[22]

Impressionist techniques [edit]

Mary Cassatt, Lydia Leaning on Her Arms (in a theatre box), 1879

French painters who prepared the style for Impressionism include the Romantic colourist Eugène Delacroix, the leader of the realists Gustave Courbet, and painters of the Barbizon school such as Théodore Rousseau. The Impressionists learned much from the piece of work of Johan Barthold Jongkind, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Eugène Boudin, who painted from nature in a straight and spontaneous style that prefigured Impressionism, and who befriended and advised the younger artists.

A number of identifiable techniques and working habits contributed to the innovative manner of the Impressionists. Although these methods had been used by previous artists—and are oft conspicuous in the work of artists such as Frans Hals, Diego Velázquez, Peter Paul Rubens, John Constable, and J. 1000. Westward. Turner—the Impressionists were the first to use them all together, and with such consistency. These techniques include:

• Short, thick strokes of paint speedily capture the essence of the subject, rather than its details. The pigment is oftentimes applied impasto.
• Colours are practical next with every bit fiddling mixing every bit possible, a technique that exploits the principle of simultaneous dissimilarity to make the colour appear more vivid to the viewer.
• Greys and dark tones are produced by mixing complementary colours. Pure impressionism avoids the apply of black paint.
• Wet pigment is placed into wet paint without waiting for successive applications to dry, producing softer edges and intermingling of colour.
• Impressionist paintings do non exploit the transparency of thin pigment films (glazes), which earlier artists manipulated carefully to produce effects. The impressionist painting surface is typically opaque.
• The paint is applied to a white or light-coloured ground. Previously, painters ofttimes used night gray or strongly coloured grounds.
• The play of natural light is emphasized. Close attending is paid to the reflection of colours from object to object. Painters frequently worked in the evening to produce effets de soir—the shadowy effects of evening or twilight.
• In paintings fabricated en plein air (outdoors), shadows are boldly painted with the blue of the sky every bit information technology is reflected onto surfaces, giving a sense of freshness previously non represented in painting. (Blueish shadows on snow inspired the technique.)

New technology played a role in the development of the style. Impressionists took advantage of the mid-century introduction of premixed paints in can tubes (resembling modern toothpaste tubes), which allowed artists to work more than spontaneously, both outdoors and indoors.^[23] Previously, painters made their own paints individually, by grinding and mixing dry pigment powders with linseed oil, which were then stored in animal bladders.^[24]

Many vivid synthetic pigments became commercially bachelor to artists for the outset time during the 19th century. These included cobalt blue, viridian, cadmium yellow, and synthetic ultramarine bluish, all of which were in use by the 1840s, before Impressionism.^[25] The Impressionists' fashion of painting made assuming apply of these pigments, and of even newer colours such as cerulean bluish,^[four] which became commercially bachelor to artists in the 1860s.^[25]

The Impressionists' progress toward a brighter mode of painting was gradual. During the 1860s, Monet and Renoir sometimes painted on canvases prepared with the traditional cerise-brown or grey footing.^[26] By the 1870s, Monet, Renoir, and Pissarro usually chose to pigment on grounds of a lighter gray or beige colour, which functioned as a center tone in the finished painting.^[26] By the 1880s, some of the Impressionists had come to prefer white or slightly off-white grounds, and no longer allowed the ground color a pregnant role in the finished painting.^[27]

Content and limerick [edit]

Prior to the Impressionists, other painters, notably such 17th-century Dutch painters equally Jan Steen, had emphasized common subjects, simply their methods of limerick were traditional. They arranged their compositions then that the primary subject commanded the viewer's attention. J. M. W. Turner, while an artist of the Romantic era, anticipated the style of impressionism with his artwork.^[28] The Impressionists relaxed the boundary betwixt subject and background and then that the effect of an Impressionist painting often resembles a snapshot, a part of a larger reality captured as if by gamble.^[29] Photography was gaining popularity, and as cameras became more portable, photographs became more than candid. Photography inspired Impressionists to stand for momentary action, non merely in the fleeting lights of a mural, simply in the twenty-four hour period-to-day lives of people.^{[30] [31]}

The evolution of Impressionism can be considered partly as a reaction by artists to the challenge presented by photography, which seemed to devalue the creative person's skill in reproducing reality. Both portrait and landscape paintings were accounted somewhat scarce and defective in truth as photography "produced lifelike images much more efficiently and reliably".^[32]

In spite of this, photography really inspired artists to pursue other means of creative expression, and rather than compete with photography to emulate reality, artists focused "on the i thing they could inevitably do better than the photograph—by further developing into an art form its very subjectivity in the conception of the image, the very subjectivity that photography eliminated".^[32] The Impressionists sought to express their perceptions of nature, rather than create exact representations. This allowed artists to depict subjectively what they saw with their "tacit imperatives of taste and censor".^[33] Photography encouraged painters to exploit aspects of the painting medium, like color, which photography so lacked: "The Impressionists were the offset to consciously offer a subjective alternative to the photograph".^[32]

Another major influence was Japanese ukiyo-e art prints (Japonism). The art of these prints contributed significantly to the "snapshot" angles and unconventional compositions that became characteristic of Impressionism. An example is Monet's Jardin à Sainte-Adresse, 1867, with its bold blocks of colour and limerick on a stiff diagonal slant showing the influence of Japanese prints.^[35]

Edgar Degas was both an avid photographer and a collector of Japanese prints.^[36] His The Trip the light fantastic toe Class (La classe de danse) of 1874 shows both influences in its asymmetrical composition. The dancers are seemingly defenseless off guard in various awkward poses, leaving an area of empty floor infinite in the lower right quadrant. He also captured his dancers in sculpture, such as the Little Dancer of Fourteen Years.

Women Impressionists [edit]

Impressionists, in varying degrees, were looking for ways to depict visual experience and contemporary subjects.^[37] Women Impressionists were interested in these aforementioned ideals only had many social and career limitations compared to male person Impressionists. They were particularly excluded from the imagery of the bourgeois social sphere of the boulevard, cafe, and dance hall.^[38] Equally well as imagery, women were excluded from the formative discussions that resulted in meetings in those places; that was where male Impressionists were able to form and share ideas about Impressionism.^[38] In the academic realm, women were believed to be incapable of handling complex subjects which led teachers to restrict what they taught female students.^[39] It was besides considered unladylike to excel in art since women's true talents were and then believed to centre on homemaking and mothering.^[39]

Withal several women were able to find success during their lifetime, even though their careers were afflicted by personal circumstances – Bracquemond, for example, had a husband who was resentful of her work which caused her to requite upwards painting.^[xl] The four virtually well known, namely, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès, Marie Bracquemond, and Berthe Morisot, are, and were, oft referred to as the 'Women Impressionists'. Their participation in the serial of eight Impressionist exhibitions that took place in Paris from 1874 to 1886 varied: Morisot participated in seven, Cassatt in four, Bracquemond in three, and Gonzalès did not participate.^{[xl] [41]}

The critics of the fourth dimension lumped these four together without regard to their personal styles, techniques, or bailiwick matter.^[42] Critics viewing their works at the exhibitions ofttimes attempted to acknowledge the women artists' talents just circumscribed them within a limited notion of femininity.^[43] Arguing for the suitability of Impressionist technique to women's manner of perception, Parisian critic S.C. de Soissons wrote:

1 can understand that women have no originality of idea, and that literature and music accept no feminine character; but surely women know how to observe, and what they see is quite different from that which men run into, and the fine art which they put in their gestures, in their toilet, in the ornament of their surround is sufficient to give is the idea of an instinctive, of a peculiar genius which resides in each one of them.^[44]

While Impressionism legitimized the domestic social life every bit discipline matter, of which women had intimate knowledge, it also tended to limit them to that subject matter. Portrayals of often-identifiable sitters in domestic settings (which could offer commissions) were dominant in the exhibitions.^[45] The subjects of the paintings were often women interacting with their environs by either their gaze or movement. Cassatt, in particular, was enlightened of her placement of subjects: she kept her predominantly female person figures from objectification and cliche; when they are not reading, they antipodal, stitch, drink tea, and when they are inactive, they seem lost in thought.^[46]

The women Impressionists, similar their male counterparts, were striving for "truth," for new means of seeing and new painting techniques; each artist had an private painting style.^[47] Women Impressionists (particularly Morisot and Cassatt) were conscious of the balance of power between women and objects in their paintings – the conservative women depicted are non defined past decorative objects, but instead, interact with and boss the things with which they live.^[48] There are many similarities in their depictions of women who seem both at ease and subtly confined.^[49] Gonzalès' Box at the Italian Opera depicts a adult female staring into the distance, at ease in a social sphere but confined by the box and the man standing next to her. Cassatt'due south painting Young Girl at a Window is brighter in color but remains constrained by the canvass edge as she looks out the window.

Despite their success in their power to take a career and Impressionism's demise attributed to its allegedly feminine characteristics (its sensuality, dependence on awareness, physicality, and fluidity) the four women artists (and other, lesser-known women Impressionists) were largely omitted from art historical textbooks roofing Impressionist artists until Tamar Garb's Women Impressionists published in 1986.^[50] For example, Impressionism past Jean Leymarie, published in 1955 included no information on any women Impressionists.

Painter Androniqi Zengo Antoniu is co-credited with the introduction of impressionism to Albania.^[51]

Timeline: lives of the Impressionists [edit]

The Impressionists

Assembly and influenced artists [edit]

Amongst the close assembly of the Impressionists were several painters who adopted their methods to some caste. These include Jean-Louis Forain (who participated in Impressionist exhibitions in 1879, 1880, 1881 and 1886)^[56] and Giuseppe De Nittis, an Italian artist living in Paris who participated in the first Impressionist exhibit at the invitation of Degas, although the other Impressionists disparaged his piece of work.^[57] Federico Zandomeneghi was another Italian friend of Degas who showed with the Impressionists. Eva Gonzalès was a follower of Manet who did not exhibit with the group. James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American-born painter who played a part in Impressionism although he did non join the group and preferred grayed colours. Walter Sickert, an English creative person, was initially a follower of Whistler, and later on an important disciple of Degas; he did not exhibit with the Impressionists. In 1904 the artist and writer Wynford Dewhurst wrote the commencement of import study of the French painters published in English language, Impressionist Painting: its genesis and evolution, which did much to popularize Impressionism in Britain.

By the early on 1880s, Impressionist methods were affecting, at least superficially, the fine art of the Salon. Fashionable painters such as Jean Béraud and Henri Gervex found critical and financial success by brightening their palettes while retaining the smooth finish expected of Salon fine art.^[58] Works by these artists are sometimes casually referred to as Impressionism, despite their remoteness from Impressionist practise.

The influence of the French Impressionists lasted long after most of them had died. Artists like J.D. Kirszenbaum were borrowing Impressionist techniques throughout the twentieth century.

Beyond France [edit]

As the influence of Impressionism spread across France, artists, too numerous to list, became identified as practitioners of the new style. Some of the more of import examples are:

• The American Impressionists, including Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Hunt, Frederick Carl Frieseke, Childe Hassam, Willard Metcalf, Lilla Cabot Perry, Theodore Robinson, Edmund Charles Tarbell, John Henry Twachtman, Catherine Wiley and J. Alden Weir.
• The Australian Impressionists, including Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton, Walter Withers, Charles Conder and Frederick McCubbin (who were prominent members of the Heidelberg School), and John Russell, a friend of Van Gogh, Rodin, Monet and Matisse.
• The Amsterdam Impressionists in the netherlands, including George Hendrik Breitner, Isaac Israëls, Willem Bastiaan Tholen, Willem de Zwart, Willem Witsen and January Toorop.
• The California Impressionists, including William Wendt, Guy Rose, Alson Clark, Donna N. Schuster, and Sam Hyde Harris.
• Anna Boch, Vincent van Gogh'southward friend Eugène Boch, Georges Lemmen and Théo van Rysselberghe, Impressionist painters from Belgium.
• Ivan Grohar, Rihard Jakopič, Matija Jama, and Matej Sternen, Impressionists from Slovenia. Their beginning was in the school of Anton Ažbe in Munich and they were influenced by Jurij Šubic and Ivana Kobilca, Slovenian painters working in Paris.
• Wynford Dewhurst, Walter Richard Sickert, and Philip Wilson Steer were well known Impressionist painters from the United Kingdom. Pierre Adolphe Valette, who was built-in in France but who worked in Manchester, was the tutor of L. S. Lowry.
• The German Impressionists, including Max Liebermann, Lovis Corinth, Ernst Oppler, Max Slevogt and Baronial von Brandis.
• László Mednyánszky and Pál Szinyei-Merse in Hungary
• Theodor von Ehrmanns and Hugo Charlemont who were rare Impressionists among the more ascendant Vienna Secessionist painters in Austria.
• William John Leech, Roderic O'Conor, and Walter Osborne in Ireland
• Konstantin Korovin and Valentin Serov in Russia
• Francisco Oller y Cestero, a native of Puerto Rico and a friend of Pissarro and Cézanne
• James Nairn in New Zealand
• William McTaggart in Scotland
• Laura Muntz Lyall, a Canadian artist
• Władysław Podkowiński, a Smooth Impressionist and symbolist
• Nicolae Grigorescu in Romania
• Nazmi Ziya Güran, who brought Impressionism to Turkey
• Chafik Charobim in Egypt
• Eliseu Visconti in Brazil
• Joaquín Sorolla in Spain
• Faustino Brughetti, Fernando Fader, Candido Lopez, Martín Malharro, Walter de Navazio, Ramón Silva in Argentina
• Skagen Painters a group of Scandinavian artists who painted in a pocket-size Danish fishing hamlet
• Nadežda Petrović, Milo Milunović, Kosta Miličević, Milan Milovanovi and Mališa Glišić in Serbia^{[59] [60] [61]}
• Ásgrímur Jónsson in Iceland
• Fujishima Takeji in Japan
• Frits Thaulow in Norway and afterwards French republic

Sculpture, photography and picture show [edit]

The sculptor Auguste Rodin is sometimes called an Impressionist for the way he used roughly modeled surfaces to suggest transient light effects.^[62]

Pictorialist photographers whose work is characterized by soft focus and atmospheric effects take likewise been called Impressionists.

French Impressionist Cinema is a term applied to a loosely defined group of films and filmmakers in France from 1919 to 1929, although these years are debatable. French Impressionist filmmakers include Abel Gance, Jean Epstein, Germaine Dulac, Marcel L'Herbier, Louis Delluc, and Dmitry Kirsanoff.

Music and literature [edit]

Musical Impressionism is the name given to a motility in European classical music that arose in the late 19th century and continued into the middle of the 20th century. Originating in France, musical Impressionism is characterized by suggestion and atmosphere, and eschews the emotional excesses of the Romantic era. Impressionist composers favoured short forms such equally the nocturne, arabesque, and prelude, and oft explored uncommon scales such as the whole tone calibration. Peradventure the most notable innovations of Impressionist composers were the introduction of major 7th chords and the extension of chord structures in 3rds to five- and six-part harmonies.

The influence of visual Impressionism on its musical counterpart is debatable. Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel are by and large considered the greatest Impressionist composers, simply Debussy disavowed the term, calling it the invention of critics. Erik Satie was also considered in this category, though his approach was regarded as less serious, more musical novelty in nature. Paul Dukas is another French composer sometimes considered an Impressionist, but his style is perhaps more closely aligned to the late Romanticists. Musical Impressionism across French republic includes the work of such composers as Ottorino Respighi (Italian republic), Ralph Vaughan Williams, Cyril Scott, and John Ireland (England), Manuel De Falla and Isaac Albeniz (Spain), and Charles Griffes (America).

The term Impressionism has likewise been used to draw works of literature in which a few select details suffice to convey the sensory impressions of an incident or scene. Impressionist literature is closely related to Symbolism, with its major exemplars being Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Rimbaud, and Verlaine. Authors such as Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, Henry James, and Joseph Conrad have written works that are Impressionistic in the fashion that they describe, rather than interpret, the impressions, sensations and emotions that plant a character'due south mental life.

Post-Impressionism [edit]

During the 1880s several artists began to develop different precepts for the use of colour, pattern, form, and line, derived from the Impressionist example: Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. These artists were slightly younger than the Impressionists, and their work is known as post-Impressionism. Some of the original Impressionist artists also ventured into this new territory; Camille Pissarro briefly painted in a pointillist mode, and even Monet abased strict plein air painting. Paul Cézanne, who participated in the first and third Impressionist exhibitions, adult a highly individual vision emphasising pictorial structure, and he is more ofttimes called a post-Impressionist. Although these cases illustrate the difficulty of assigning labels, the work of the original Impressionist painters may, by definition, exist categorised as Impressionism.
