Claude Monet is perhaps the most famous of the Impressionists. But where does the name mean?
In 1874 there were strict rules for the works hung on the official Paris Salon. It must have painted a classic, perfectly aligned and smooth glass without brush strokes ? almost photographic. A group of artists who had a different style of painting was often rejected by the Salon. Her art has gone in another direction. He represents small, fast, colorful strokes, wasvery nature, an "impression" of the subject. They decided to show their works in an exhibition. And her first show has a bad rating.
Edouard Manet began the whole movement of Impressionist art, although it is not known at the time Impressionism. Manet's work in 1860, greatly influenced by Claude Monet and other artists.
The most important Impressionist painters who worked together and influenced each other were:
Claude Monet
Pierre-AugusteRenoir
Camille Pissarro
Alfred Sisley
Berthe Morisot
Guillaumin
Frederic Bazille
Edgar Degas and Paul C?zanne painted in an Impressionist style for a while.
These artists have shared new approaches to art. Each had their own style, but usually like to paint outdoors (so-called "en plein air") with quick, short strokes. They thought it best captured the general "impression" of the scene.
The Paris Motor Show was the official art exhibitionthe Academie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. From 1748-1890 was the major art event in the western world. The show has taken the works of some of these artists, but often rejected or is poorly, if at all accepted. So have some artists in 1874 decided to make an independent exhibition of works in the Salon had refused.
The show took place in April 1874, in the lounge of the photographer Nadar.
Claude Monet painting was hanging by a sunrise, call"Impression, Soleil Levant" or "Impression, Sunrise". E 'was painted with visible brush strokes, delivered by the technique of broken color, a visual sensation of light.
The art critic Louis Leroy ridiculed the performance with the title of the work of Monet, as the title of his enemy's contribution ", exhibition of the Impressionists." He wrote:
"Impression -. I was safe to say that I only do, was impressed because I was, it must be some impression in it ? and what freedom is, whatEasy to use! Images in its embryonic state is more than the Navy terminated. "
Although as a derogatory remark, the term "Impressionism" was adopted by the artists themselves. The Impressionists were available at the time had now a name for their new art movement.
