Impressionism – mid-late 19th century • Impressionist style probably the single most successful

and identifiable "movement“ in European Art history• The movement's name was derived from Monet's early

work, Impression: Sunrise and critics who felt works were unfinished sketches or impressions

• Challenge and response to the emerging art of Photography

• The focus on subjectivity intensified • Artists became more concerned with the individual

expression.• Reality became what the individual saw. • With Impressionism the subjectivity of modem art was

born.

As an extension of Realism

• Impressionists remained realists in the sense that they remained true to their sensations of the object

• Realism meant to an Impressionist that the painter ought to record the most subtle sensations of reflected light.

• Concern for realistically representing an object faded, while concern for representing the subjective grew.

As a reaction / rejection• Critics and the public agreed the Impressionists

couldn’t draw and their colors were considered vulgar. Their compositions were strange. Their short, slapdash brushstrokes made their paintings practically illegible. Why didn’t these artists take the time to finish their canvases, viewers wondered?

• Rejected by the Salon, the annual French state-sponsored exhibition that offered the only real opportunity for artists to display and sell their work, they created an independent exhibition, mounted in what was formerly a photographer’s studio

• The subject matter is broken down, analyzed, and reassembled in abstract form.
