How was Impressionism influenced by Japanese Woodcuts? Remember C-FID! C-cropping F-flatness I-Intimate moments D-Decorative patterns REVIEW
Differences between Impress. And Post-Impress.: Impressionists focused on reproducing the natural world but lost the use of line, shape and color (only reflected) Post-Impressionists wanted to restore color and shape to art, while others wanted to restore subjectivity rather than painting from nature. The P.I. created abstract versions of reality to reinforce that art is DIFFERENT from nature (breaking with the tradition since the Renaissance) Post-Impressionism

Color patches—used to capture true colors of surrounding land. Varied colors– warmer colors placed closer towards view, while cooler colors receding in background but did not use the theory of atmospheric perspective and backgrounds are flat. Multiple viewpoints—not like a camera, more real (Cubist) Underlying shapes—rectangles, triangles, etc. “Treat nature as a cylinder, sphere, or cone”. 4 Techniques used by Cezanne
