  1. French impressionist project By: Angela Wylie

  2. When? Why? who? • The impressionist art movement originated in France in the last quarter of the 19th century as a reaction against traditional art and its strict rules. This movement originated with a group of Paris-based artists. • Impressionism is now seen as the first movement in modern art, and had a huge influence on the development of art in the 20th century.

  3. Their independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s, in spite of harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France.

  4. Techniques • The Impressionists loosened their brushwork and lightened their palettes to include pure, intense colors. They abandoned traditional linear perspective and avoided the clarity of form that had previously served to distinguish the more important elements of a picture from the lesser ones. For this reason, many critics faulted Impressionist paintings for their unfinished appearance and seemingly amateurish quality.

  5. acceptance • In the beginning the artists were not appreciated because they were going against the traditional painting techniques

  6. Camille Pissaro • His importance resides in his contributions to both Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Pissarro studied from great forerunners, including Gustave Courbet and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. He later studied and worked alongside Georges Seurat and Paul Signac when he took on the Neo-Impressionist style at the age of 54.

  7. Camilles paintings • “Landscape at Chaponvale” • “Night effect” • “gathering herbs”

  8. Paintings • “Snow effect” • “Bathers II” • “village church”

  9. More paintings • <“sunset” • “thaw, pontoise”^ • <“Sunset at rouen”

  10. Bio • Camille Pissarro was born on July 10, 1830, on the island of St. Thomas. Relocating to Paris as a young man, Pissarro began experimenting with art, eventually helping to shape the Impressionist movement with friends including Claude Monet and Edgar Degas. • Died november 13th 1903 • Full name: Jacob-Abraham-Camille Pissarro
