THE HISTORY OF IMPRESSIONISM – Discovery Art Artist (documentary)

“’Impressionism’ was the
name given to a certain form of observation when Monet, not content
with using his eyes to see what things were or what they looked like as
everybody had done before him, turned his attention to noting what took
place on his own retina (as an oculist would test his own vision).”

“What I am after, above all, is expression. Sometimes it has been
conceded that I have a certain technical ability but that, my ambition
being limited, I am unable to proceed beyond a purely visual
satisfaction such as can be procured from the mere sight of a picture.
But the purpose of a painter must not be conceived as separate from his
pictorial means, and these pictorial means must be the more complete (I
do not mean complicated) the deeper is his thought. I am unable to
distinguish between the feeling I have for life and my way of expressing
it.”

“If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this.”

Impressionism
A French 19th century art movement which marked a momentous break from tradition in European painting. The Impressionists incorporated new scientific research into the physics of colour to achieve a more exact representation of colour and tone.
The sudden change in the look of these paintings was brought about by a change in methodology: applying paint in small touches of pure colour rather than broader strokes, and painting out of doors to catch a particular fleeting impression of colour and light. The result was to emphasise the artist’s perception of the subject matter as much as the subject itself.
Impressionist art is a style in which the artist captures the image of an object as someone would see it if they just caught a glimpse of it. They paint the pictures with a lot of color and most of their pictures are outdoor scenes. Their pictures are very bright and vibrant. The artists like to capture their images without detail but with bold colors. Some of the greatest impressionist artists were Edouard Manet, Camille Pissaro, Edgar Degas, Alfred Sisley, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot and Pierre Auguste Renoir.

An art movement is a tendency or style in art with a specific common philosophy or goal, followed by a group of artists during a restricted period of time, (usually a few months, years or decades) or, at least, with the heyday of the movement defined within a number of years. Art movements were especially important in modern art, when each consecutive movement was considered as a new avant-garde.
