Impressionism: Origins of the Movement

Impressionism was an art movement that emerged in the second half of
the 19th century among a group of Paris-based artists. The duration of the impressionist
movement itself was quite short, less than 20 years from 1872 to the mid-1880s.
Nevertheless, it had a tremendous impact and influence on the painting styles that
followed, such as neo-impressionism, post impressionism, fauvism, and cubism-and even
the artistic styles and movements of today.
The name impressionism was coined from the title of a work by French
painter Claude Monet, Impression, soleil levant (Impression Sunrise).
The term precisely captured what this group of artists sought to represent
in their works; the viewers momentary “impression” of an image. It was not intended to
be clear or precise, but more like a fleeting fragment of reality caught om canvass,
sometimes in mid-motion, at other times awkwardly positioned-just as it would be in real
life.
By the 1870s, the stage was set for the emergence of the next major art
movement in Europe, impressionism. It started with a group of French painters-that
included Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and Edouard Manet-and eventually spread to
other countries, such as Italy, Germany, and Netherlands.
Claude Monet (1840-1926) was one of the founders of the impressionist
movement along with his friends Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frederic Bazille. He
was the most prominent of the group, and is considered the most influential figure in the
movement. Monet is best known for his landscape paintings, particularly those depicting
his beloved flower gardens and water lily ponds at his home in Giverny.
Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), along with Claude Monet, was one of the
central figure of the impressionist movement. His early works were snapshots of real life,
full of sparkling color and light. By the mid-1880s, however, Renoir broke away from the
impressionist movement to apply a more disciplined, formal technique to portraits of
actual people and figure paintings.
Edouard Manet (1832-1883), was one of the first 19th century artist to
depict modern-life subjects. He was a key figure in the transition from realism to
impressionism, with a number of his works considered as marking the birth of modern art
Paul Cezanne (1839-1906), was a French artist and post-impressionist
painter. His work exemplified the transition from the late 19th century impressionism to a
new and radically different world of art in the 20th century-paving the way for the next
revolutionary art movement known as expressionism.
Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890), was a post-impressionist painter from the
Netherlands. His work was remarkable for their strong, heavy brush strokes, intense
emotions, and colors that appeared to almost pulsate with energy. Van Gogh striking style
was to have a far-reaching influence on 20th century art with his work becoming among
the most recognized in the world.
