O que foi or impressionism: characteristics, artists and paintings

Or impressionism formed a trend in arts that originated in France in the XIX century, between 1860 and 1880.

O thermo that gives me a movement arises from a critique of the work Impressão, born of the sun (1872), by Claude Monet, an outstanding artist of the Vertente, together with Édouard Manet.

Impressionist artists were very interested in us optical effects that the light provides, for isso, most of their fabrics were painted a year or free. Isso confers lightness and luminosity to works.

Olhando for the history of art, we see that this new way of creation represents for the cultural universe an important framework in the direction of modern art.

Impressionism in painting

Not at the moment when Impressionist painting emerged, Paris, as well as other European capitals, was experiencing a period of self-consciousness and technological advancement, Belle epoque. This phase lasted from 1871 to 1914, when the First World War began.

Painting was an artistic language that is more remarkable than Impressionism. This great source of young painters was quite enthusiastic investigating the effects of natural light on people and objects.

Édouard Manet (1832-1883) was seen as an artist who initiated these investigations and influenced other painters. Together, they will be able to elevate another patamar to an interpretation of how hearts, lights and shadows behave in free environments.

This was a great pictorial transformation, considering that, at the same time, the art of painting this restricted years to ateliês. Nesses environments, light was manipulated. Generally with luminosity from a side panel, conferring gradual shadows on our models.

This way of illuminating the models was also taught in art academies, being quite traditional.

Therefore, when a group of painters emerged, they proposed new ways of enforcing reality and representing it, conservative critics ficaram disturbed in their new style.

Em 1872, Claude Monet (1840-1926) paints on canvas Impressão, born of the sun, which for two years is part of an exhibition without a photography study by Félix Nadar (1820-1910) together with works by other artists from this point of view.

It happens that critics will reject the works and on the other hand, they will name artists such as impressionists, inspiring-se no title given by Monet's work.

Depois disso houve other exhibitions not the same local and the passaram to call themselves "impressionists".

At the time, harsh criticism foram feitas, as in a humorous magazine of 1876.

A rua le Peletier is a succession of disasters. Apostle or fire at the Opera, we now fear another catastrophe. An exhibition at Durand-Ruel has just been launched, which supposedly includes paintings.

I walk in, and my horrified eyes are amazed by a terrifying sight. Five or six lunatics, among them a mulher, will gather to expose their works. I saw people laughing through the cloth, but my heart was seen when I saw it. These so-called self-titled artists are revolutionaries, "impressionists."

Paste a piece of cloth, ink and brush, besuntam-na with random spots and assinam seu nome of her. This is an illusion, how are interns of a hospício pegassem algumas pedras na rua e julgassem I have found a diamond.

Impressionist artists and works

Além de Édouard Manet, or idealizador do movimento, we have other names of note, among them:

Claude Monet (1840-1926)

Or work that originates from the impressionist movement was painted by Claude Monet, an artist of note among his contemporaries.

The French painter was a home to me, dusted by his trade, he appreciated the good moments and the effort to show beautiful and light dinners in his works.

It was a great incentive for painting to be free, making it possible to have an "ateliê-barco", not which he could observe the transformations in the landscape of the river throughout the day.

Monet was looking for a representation of the moment, for isso, there was no time to dedicate years to detail, or more important for the era or final ensemble. For isso, the start of his career was severely criticized.

In the meantime, later, I got recognition and continued to paint até or fim da life, 86 years old.

Na painting Camille and Jean on the Hill, from 1875, they are portrayed or filho more velho of the painter and his wife. A canvas was exhibited at the second exhibition of the Impressionist group, in 1876.

Nesse quadro, Camille, who is not at the top of the hill, is for the observer enquanto or filho walks in direction to the top. Or dress melts like ceu, like the same fosse part gives nature.

Even with few details, we can see the serious physiognomy of men, which remains distant from dinner.

Auguste Renoir (1841-1919)

Renoir is one of the two most famous painters of Impressionism. He had great gratification and produced intensely, I tied the same when he was missing, not ending his life.

The artist sought to transmit in his canvases self, enthusiasm and tranquility. Also, he portrayed you meet the French elite of the late nineteenth century.

Or quadro Or almoço two paddlers (1880-81), is one of the two dinners and one of the two most significant paintings of the movement. Nele, Renoir exibe a moment of relaxation of his friends pessoais and frequents of a restaurant.

We can perceive the composition as a painter elaborates with mastery of the perception of the depth. He also cares about leaving sharp characters.

Furthermore, he exhibits a still-nature at the central table and several people at a spontaneous dinner, as shown in a photograph.

As a matter of curiosity, the girl represented did not sing directly with a puppy and Aline Charigot, who would become the wife of the painter.

Edgar Degas (1834-1917)

Known as "o painter of dancers", Degas was a peculiar impressionist. This is because, different from his contemporaries, he develops his own style and has themes of particular interest, such as the universe of ballet.

Além disso, or a special artist who appreciates bare hair, as well as Dominique Ingres (1780-1867), an important neoclassical painter born in the 18th century.

Degas was fascinated by portraying young women during dance performances, or even backstage shows. There is speculation that, despite having painted so many dancers, the artist rejects the women, being also a voluntary celibate.

One of his conheque fabrics is Dança classroom (1873-75), in which the artist portrays a group of adolescent dancers positioned in a semicircle around the teacher, who gives explanations.

Or from the point of view of the painter, and consequently of the observer of the work, that of someone who is present at dinner but at the same time has not been noticed. Isso creates a feeling of intimidation and tension at the same time.

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906)

Cézanne was a restless and obstinate painter in search of a solid work that could be placed among the greatest painters of his time, an objective that was achieved.

His views of him will serve as the basis for many painters who will see him depois, like Pablo Picasso, for example.

During his costume, contudo, I do not obtain or reassure him that he depois de sua morte. Certa time, or artist disse a um jovem painter:

Maybe he had been born with too many. Sou mais painter of his geração do que da minha.

A contemporary of two impressionists, Cézanne dedicated part of his work to the style. To cloth A casa do enforcado (1872-73) is an example of a work inspired by Impressionist ideas, overcoat by Camille Pissarro (1830-1903), another painter of the movement.

Either the subject addressed was not a picture of a landscape painted a year ago, or that it was reminiscent of Impressionist works. Small brushstrokes overposts also indicate influence, as well as light and luminous tones.

Or contrast between the triangular roofs of houses like an open field or founded and managed as trees Foram brushstrokes give us the impression of being fato in front of this landscape, intensifying the notion of reality.

Berthe Morisot (1841-1895)

Morisot was the only woman present at the exhibitions of two impressionists, carried out in the study of Félix Nadar. She, like the other movement artists, dedicated herself to studies of natural light and made paintings year-round. There are even indications that she has influenced Manet to deepen the studies on natural light.

In addition to this, he later saw other artists who formed part of the project, such as Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), Eva Gonzalès (1849-1883) and Lilla Cabot Perry (1848-1933).

O work of Morisot you have a certain recognition at the time. Meanwhile, being a feminine figure, he did not enter the list of outstanding names in art history.

A tinha artist has a special appreciation for domestic themes, such as maternity dinners and universe of women. Chegou to produce about 800 works.

Uma delas é O berço, from 1872. Nela, Berthe portrays a mãe watching or sono de sua filha, that calm sleep no berço.

Here, as in most of his works, a woman is portrayed in a dinner of intimidation and connection, carrying a large affective charge.

A fabric was seen as critical hairs as a great work, in which the artist made a brilliant way to combine cores and, above all, white.

I also read: Find famous paintings made by great women.

Characteristics of impressionist works

Impressionists perceive that nature seen in its own environment produces an intense, brilliant mixture of various colors and tons that become pregnant before us.

Assim, as images that they paint us não apresentavam sharp outlines ou traditional shading. Ink was deposited on fabrics small spots, that together and overlays, create a more similar effect to a momentary visual experience.

Além disso, these painters will benefit to the maximum day sunlight and we will abuse complementary cores.

Ace paisagens e naturezas-mortas tinham highlights among you two impressionist themes. Meanwhile, other motifs were addressed, such as portraits of women, dancers, and even interior dinners.

Like impressionism or not Brazil?

Em terras Brasileira, or Impressionist style despondes pelas mãos, mainly, by Eliseu Visconti (1867-1944). The painter managed to break with the neoclassical structures in force in art and inaugurated a path in the direction of modernism not in the country.

Or a painter, who was born in Italy and saw Brazil with a baby, studied art in a country and in 1892, he traveled to Europe to continue his studies. Lá, he contacted you with works by great Impressionists, or who strongly influenced his work.

Eliseu, like the European painters, went on to study the nuances of colors, lights and shadows or objects and people exposed to sunlight.

Other artists also drink from the Impressionism font, such as Anita Malfatti (1889-1964), Almeida Júnior (1850-1899) and Georgina de Albuquerque (1885-1962).
