From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in Le Charivari. Characteristics of Impressionist paintings include visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles. The emergence of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous movements in other media which became known as Impressionist music and Impressionist literature. Impressionism also describes art created in this style, but outside of the late 19th century time period. From Wikipedia under the

But it was the invention of the lowly paint tube, making oils transportable outdoors that allowed artists to begin painting en plein air . . . outdoors. This then gave artists the opportunity to spend days and days studying the landscape under changing light, painting from life what had previously been painted from memory or sketches. Some artists went beyond just painting pretty landscapes to experimenting with paint application which could give the effect of shimmering and… [cont.] Answered by tlw-artist - Wed Jan 28 04:06:34 2009 What was the art movement BEFORE impressionism?

Q. I am looking for how they used color? Asked by laylamermaid - Tue Sep 9 10:37:06 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Here is how: First of all, Impressionist painters and Van Gogh ( who does not really belong to the Impressionist group ) painted on a white background. If this is common today, it was not then, when artists usually painted on an umber-tinted background. Keep in mind that they obviously only ever used oil paints, as acrylics were invented only in the 1950s. You want to use short, thick brushstrokes, and you want them to show. No fine blending. The aim is to quickly capture the essence of the subject, rather than its details. The paint is often applied impasto and colours are applied side-by-side with as little mixing as possible. You want to achieve a vibrant surface, not the super smooth surface of classical artists, where every… [cont.] Answered by Margherita a - Tue Sep 9 15:01:19 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "impressionism"  news.google.com Telegraph.co.uk A lot of the impressionism is to do with wish-fulfilment, he says.
