Everyone has heard of the
Impressionist movement that still illuminates the painting in general. But a small precise movement
can only add to the interest that you already wear.
In France, this painting was born in the 1860s and a long time to be recognized as the work it is. The contemporaries of that period were not different from us and did not change, modernity, the vanguard of a very good eye in the first place. It took nearly 30 years for the first letters of nobility to be granted. In fact, the radical change that brought
Impressionism in painting was considered scandalous and modern flashy. We must not forget that painters recognized at that time continued the traditionalist frame of the Renaissance (which was at the time of modernity scandalous!).
The fact of never having given up despite the complete rejection of their contemporaries shows that the
Impressionist painters had confidence in their art and that they needed to wait for all that they were recognized. Between 1860 and 1886, they continued to work their art, to develop, to find a way to move from the purely figurative painting to painting if now recognized to be non-figurative. Finally, thanks to their tenacity (despite their poverty), they explained in major galleries and s'exportèrent in the United States with great success in 1886 which allowed them to be finally recognized in France, Europe and America.
In fact, what shocked the most to the time it was not the choice of subjects that remained rooted in reality but truly the way of painting itself. The will of the Impressionist painters were to live their tables to make them as real as possible. To do this, they used the method of successive layers of paint, applied in small strokes that allowed out of pictorial tradition as a method but not so much.
Of course, we can not point out that even when subjects are different from classical painting. By going out to paint life, leisure and moments of nature and people was a big breakthrough. The models were more rigid in their Sunday clothes, but being. The work of impressionists on light shows the desire to paint in pleasing contrast with the Dutch school of the time.
This movement has not emerged from nowhere in the head of Manet and Monet. It is the continuum of painters of the Barbizon School and the Rencontres de Saint-Siméon. In fact, impressionism can be seen as the next logical step in a changing world, society and arts. We are only the product developed by our predecessors and the Impressionists are no different. They thought and decided that the tradition of mythological paintings, drawings made in pencil before painting and other rules to follow no longer the world in which they evolved. They were not necessarily wrong to the extent that this period is that of Napoleon and after that a lot of things had changed in people's minds.
The technique of impressionism s'apprivoiser in the following way: a new vision of the environment and life itself. This technique allows us to see the grounds from different angles through the colors, it also teaches us the vision of the painter who expresses his feelings in his paintings. Everything becomes relative: depending on the angle, light or mood of the beholder painting everything changes. The use of clear tones, creating forms and relief paintings of the keys, the volume numbers of new painting techniques.
Their ingenuity and their idea of topics is what makes interesting impressionist painters. Share their insights into our world and how to transcribe, they open their eyes to a good number of their successors who are also trying new approaches. Of course, any time it happened and a movement allows the creation of many others. But Impressionism was never really extinguished and still exists in the minds of people. They still burn so much more precise than the movement of the Italian Renaissance or Fauvism. This is that Impressionism is a painting and the movement will remain.
