Realism & Impressionism Brief History

Core Facts Realism/Impressionism – overlaps with Romanticism and Modernism Roughly 1870-1930ish (Modernism is the NEXT unit and will get us to about 1950. We should finish that before Spring Break, leaving us only the Contemporary Unit once we return. Modernism is short, Contemporary will take some time.)

The Migration During the 18th and 19th centuries, 70 million people moved from Europe to other continents Mostly to America, but also Siberia, Latin America, Canada, and Australia By 1900, the total European population outside of Europe numbered 560 million and represented more than 1/3 the world’s population

The Migration 13 million English and Scots left their native lands; 2/3s of them went to the US 6 million Germans left their homes (most of them to the US) 16 million Italians left – half to North and South America, half to other parts of Europe Styles will mesh and combine

Realism & Impressionism Visual Art

General Definitions Realism: the general attempt to depict subjects as they are considered to exist, looks similar to a photograph Realistic, accurate appearance of the world – almost as clear as a photograph Spontaneous Ordinary people doing ordinary things (usually LABOROUS things) Harmonious colors Faithfulness to observed lighting and atmospheric effects

General Definitions Impressionism: a new way of seeing reality through color and motion; a style based on an understanding of the interrelated mechanisms of the camera and the eye (the camera was completely new technology at this point) Pleasant, comfortable scenes Still ordinary people doing ordinary things, but enjoying life Brushstrokes equalized across the canvas Forms and objects best appear when the viewer is at a distance No outlines – implied lines Color creates the details, not line
