What is It

Technological breakthrough
From the Industrial Revolution of the late 1800’s, 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 hand-free mobile phones, from the
first automobiles to inter-planetary space vehicles, from local radio broadcasting to
international news coverage via satellite, from vaccination against polio and smallpox
to laser surgery.

2
Social, political and environmental changes
Migration across the globe allowing different cultures, languages, skills and even
physical characteristics of different races to intermingle like never before. The 20 th
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 1930s, 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.

Effects on the world of arts

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 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

IMPRESSIONISM is a 19th century art movement characterized by relatively small,

thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of
light in its changing qualities. It 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 styles that followed, such as
neo-impressionism, post-Impressionism, fauvism, and cubism and even the artistic
styles and movement of today. The inspiration of early Impressionists was Eugene
Delacroix, French Romantic artist.

The influence of Delacroix

As with all emerging art movements, Impressionism owed its inspiration to earlier
masters. One major influence was the work of French painter Eugene Delacroix.
Delacroix was greatly admired and emulated by the early impressionists-specifically
for his use of expressive brushstrokes, his emphasis on movement rather than on
clarity of form, and most of all his study of the optical effects of color.

In particular, Delacroix’s painting, The Barque of Dante (1822), contained then

revolutionary technique that would profoundly influence the coming impressionist
movement. And it involved something as simple as droplets of water.

The IMPRESSIONIST movement was started by French painters:

1. Edouard Manet (1832-1883)
2. Claude Monet (1840-1926)
3. Auguste Renoir (1841-1919)

IMPRESSIONISM: A Break from The 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.

Colors and Light

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. They used “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 a reality.

“Everyday” subjects

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

Painting Outdoors

The location in which the impressionists painted was also different. Previously, still
lifes, portaits, 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 a stiffer, heavier, more studied paintings of
earlier masters.

Open Composition

Impressionist painting also moved away 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 canvass.

The Influence of Photography

Photography was in its early stages at that time as well. As it gained popularity,
photography inspired impressionist to capture fleeting moments of action, whether in
landscapes or in the day-to-day lives of the people. But whereas camera snapshots
provided objective, true-to-life images, the painters were able to offer a subjective view

4
of their subjects, expressing their personal perceptions rather than creating exact
representations. They also had the advantage of manipulating color, which
photography at that time still lacked.

EDOUARD MANET

He was one of the first 19th century artists to depict modern-life subjects. He was a key
figure in the transition from realism to impressionism, with a number of his works
considered as marking the birth of modern art.

Café Concert (1878) Rue Mosnier Decked With Flags (1878)

CLAUDE MONET

He was one of the founders of the Impressionist movement along with his
friends Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frederic Bazille. He was the most prominent
of the group; and is considered the most influential figure in the movement. Monet is
best known for his landscape paintings, particularly those depicting his beloved flower
gardens and water lily ponds at his home in Germany.

I guess you are now impressed and ready to start up with the first task, how about
checking the goals out so you could begin your first artwork?

 What’s More

IN THE PHILIPPINES:

Fernando Amorsolo (May 30, 1892-april 24, 1072) was one of the most important
artists in the history of painting in the Philippines. Amorsolo was a portraitist and
painter of rural Philippines landscape. He was awarded as a national Artist in 1972.

Best known for illuminated landscapes and backlighting techniques in his paintings,
Fernando Amorsolo was one of the most renowned painters of his era. His work
depicted Filipino culture, customs and traditions, as well as occupations, in a brilliant
manner.

Here are some of his work:

What I have Learned

KEEP THIS IN MIND!

Impressionism is an art movement that planted the seeds for what we know now as
“modern art”. The movement began in Europe in the mid-1800s and introduced
exciting new approaches and techniques for applying the elements of art (particularly
colors and textures) in ways that gave impressionist painting a sense of energy
freshness, and intensity.
Impressionism is more concerned with capturing a sense or feel of the subject (an
“impression”), rather than a realistic rendering. Thus, this movement shifted away
from posed scenes created inside studios to everyday, sometimes mundane,
subjects painted outdoors in natural light.
It started with a group of French painters : Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir and
Edouard Manet.
