Impressionism annasuvorova.wordpress.com

There are no lines in nature, only areas of color, one against another. Edouard Manet annasuvorova.wordpress.com

Claude Monet. Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), 1872 The movement gained its name after a hostile French critic, reviewing the artists' first major exhibition, seized on the title of Claude Monet's painting: Impression, Sunrise (1873), and accused them of painting nothing but impressions. annasuvorova.wordpress.com

Edouard Manet. The Luncheon on the Grass annasuvorova.wordpress.com

Émile Zola incorporated a fictionalized account of the 1863 scandal in his novel L'Oeuvre (The Masterpiece) (1886) The Luncheon on the Grass is the greatest work of Édouard Manet, one in which he realizes the dream of all painters: to place figures of natural grandeur in a landscape. […] This nude woman has scandalized the public, who see only her in the canvas. My God! What indecency: a woman without the slightest covering between two clothed men! That has never been seen. annasuvorova.wordpress.com

The Salon des Refusés "L'Artiste" Жюль Кастаньяри : "Известие привело парижские мастерские в состояние замешательства. Ликовали и обнимали друг друга. Но затем на смену восторгам пришло отрезвление. Что же теперь делать? Воспользоваться предложением и выставить свои работы? Это значит - решиться (и не без ущерба для себя) дать ответ на вопрос, подразумеваемый в самом решении, - отдать себя на суд публики, в случае, если работа признана явно плохой. И это значит поставить под сомнение объективность Комиссии и перейти на сторону Института не только в настоящее время, но и на будущее. А если не выставлять? Это значит - отдаться на суд жюри и таким образом, признав свою бездарность, способствовать росту его авторитета". annasuvorova.wordpress.com

Characteristics of Impressionist paintings relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes; open composition; emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time); common, ordinary subject matter; the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience; and unusual visual angles. annasuvorova.wordpress.com
