9. IMPRESSIONISM According to Merriam Webster Dictionary Impressionism is a style of painting that began in France around 1870, that uses spots of color to show the effects of different kinds of light and that attempts to capture the feeling of a scene rather than specific details.

10. Technological breakthroughs From the Industrial Revolution of the late 1800s, the world zoomed into the Electronic Age in the mid-1900s, then into the present Cyberspace Age. In just over 100 years, humans went from hand-cranked telephones to hands-free mobile phones, from the first automobiles to inter-planetary space vehicles, from local radio broadcasting to international news coverage via satellite, from vaccinations against polio and smallpox to laser surgery.

11. Social, political and environmental changes There has been migration across the globe, allowing different cultures, languages, skills, and even physical characteristics of different races to intermingle like never before. The 20th century also suffered through two World Wars, and several regional wars in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. There was the Great Depression of the 930s , and the Asian economic crisis of the 1990s. Considered the modern-day plague, AIDS has afflicted millions the world over, while millions more continue to live in hunger, disease, and poverty. Environmental destruction has also become a major concern.

12. Effects on the world of art

13. The art movements of the late 19th century to the 20th century captured and expressed all these and more. Specifically, these were the movements known as impressionism and expressionism. While earlier periods of art had a quite set conventions as to the style, technique, and treatment of their subjects, impressionists and expressionists conveyed their ideas and feelings in bold, innovative ways. These were the exciting precursors of the modern art of the 21st century.

14. 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. But 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.

15. Impression Sunrise by Claude Monet The name impressionism was coined from the title of a work by French painter Claude Monet, Impression, soleil levant (in English, Impression, Sunrise). The term precisely captured what this group of artists sought to represent in their works: the viewer’s momentary “impression” of an image. It was not intended to be clear or precise, but more like a fleeting fragment of reality caught on canvas, sometimes in mid-motion, at other times awkwardly positioned—just as it would be in real life.

16. Impressionism: A Break from Past Painting Traditions There were several areas in which impressionist artists moved away from the established practices of art at that time. These involved their use of color, choice of subject matter and setting, and technique for capturing light and conveying movement.

17. Distinct Characteristics: The painting conventions and techniques of earlier art periods were very much concerned with line, form, and composition. In contrast, the impressionists painted with freely brushed colors that conveyed more of a visual effect than a detailed rendering of the subject.

18. They used short “broken” strokes that were intentionally made visible to the viewer. They also often placed pure unmixed colors side by side, rather than blended smoothly or shaded. The result was a feeling of energy and intensity, as the colors appeared to shift and move—again, just as they do in reality.

19. “Everyday” Subjects Impressionists also began to break away from the creation of formally posed portraits and grandiose depictions of mythical, literary, historical, or religious subjects . They ventured into capturing scenes of life around them, household objects, landscapes and seascapes , houses, cafes, and buildings.

20. They presented ordinary people seemingly caught off-guard doing everyday tasks, at work or at leisure, or doing nothing at all. And they were not made to look beautiful or lifelike, as body parts could be distorted and facial features merely suggested by a few strokes of the brush.

21. Painting Outdoors

22. Painting Outdoors The location in which the impressionists painted was also different. Previously, still life’s, portraits, and landscapes were usually painted inside a studio. However, the impressionists found that they could best capture the ever-changing effects of light on color by painting outdoors in natural light . This gave their works a freshness and immediacy that was quite a change from the stiffer, heavier , more planned paintings of earlier masters.

23. Open Composition

24. Open Composition Impressionist painting also moved away from the formal, structured approach to placing and positioning their subjects. They experimented with unusual visual angles, sizes of objects that appeared out of proportion, off-center placement, and empty spaces on the canvas.

25. Influence of Photography

26. Influence of Photography Photography inspired impressionists to capture fleeting moments of action, whether in landscapes or in the day-to-day lives of the people. Painters were able to offer a subjective view of their subjects, expressing their personal perceptions rather than creating exact represen tations .
