Impressionism 9b gumnazia№2 Kolomna by Daria Vasileva Supervised by Ulia Kudinova Kolomna 2013

The theme of my talk is “Impressionism” to present the world of impressionism in al its variety

This style was used especially in France between 1870 and 1900 by such painters as Monet, Cezzanne and Pissarro

This style produces effects by use of colour rather than by details of form. The French impressionists often painted directly from nature.

Positions of impressionism: Science of colour The Impressionist Palette The Impressionist technique Here I can also mention Claude Oscar Monet.

More natural methods of lighting their work Looking at the world with freshness and immediacy

Official Salon

These artist are incapable of producing a properly composed and finished painting

An Impressionist paints landscapes outside working for a very short period of time

As the light changes the Impressionist stops working Returning on a day when the light is similar

The artists paint rapidly, analyzing tone and colour At the expence of composition and drawing

The broken brushstrokes and the high key of colour provoke criticism

They paint on white or very lightly tinted grounds add to brilliance of colour

Edgar Degas Georges Seurat 1834-1917 1859-1891

Paul Cezanne 1839-1906

Vincent van Gogh 1853-1890

This mixture of artists is what makes the subject so interesting and challenging.

Impressionism is the result of simultaneous vision that sees a scene as a whole.

“The church at Vernon”

The Impressionist looks generally at the whole The Academician looks particularly at a series of objects

Development of Impressionism - the new palette

Grass is green But hills seen at a great distance do not green, but blue

The landscape painter has to consider “local colour”, “atmospheric colour” and “illumination colours” and take into consideration “complementary colours”.

“The principal person in a picture is light” Claude Oscar Monet

It has been called Divisionism, Luminism and Pointillism This new intensive study brought about a new palette and a new technique. It has been called Divisionism, Luminism and Pointillism

This technique was not invention of one man but the outcome of a whole group of men. Such as Camille Pissarro, Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir.
