Impressionism, Pointillism, Post-Impressionism Mrs. Geis’ favorite!!
Impressionism • Began in France 1862; Renoir and Manet were students, and decided to paint outdoors for just one day. “ en plein air” • “Immediate representations through color and light” .. An impression • Many artists would gain this impression from painting outside ( constant change in light) while some focused inside in salons and the ballet ( constant movement) • Known for short, choppy brushstrokes, and rare use of black • Critics were harsh “ barbaric. Insanity” .. However, after Impressionism, painting would never be the same.
Manet • Called “Father of Modern Art” • “A bar at the Folies-Bergère” 1882
Degas Most known for his ballerinas, but also did French life ( cafes) and bathers. Not only did he do Impressionism painting, but also did the style using pastels.
Degas Degas started doing sculpture when he was going blind.
Pointillism(Post Impressionism) • Technique gives it its name- painting in tiny dots • Based on the belief of optical-mixing; if the colors are close together, the eye will mix it (complementary colors) • George Suerat founder
