What are the impressionist works?

Both traditional painting and impressionist painting have their unique aesthetic characteristics. Traditional painting pays more attention to science and rationality, its painting techniques are rigorous, and the content and form of the picture are unified. Whether it is the works of the "Three Masters" in the Italian Renaissance or the realistic paintings in Europe, the content and form of the pictures have been revised and improved repeatedly, and the shapes of people and things are rigorous and realistic. Impressionist painting, on the other hand, emphasizes the expression of natural light and color, breaking the most traditional view of describing the inherent color, and then emphasizes the painter's visual intuition and depicts the ever-changing instantaneous scene of nature. Impressionist painting further expands the expressive materials of painting and enriches the expressive forms of painting. At the same time, impressionist painting also has its limitations. Because of this, anti-impressionist post-impressionist painting appeared later. Impressionism pays attention to the expression of objective objects, and its artistic theory stems from the optical principle. Both Monet's and pissarro's works have a * * * feature: they are faithful to the change of natural light color and accurately describe the natural light color, such as Monet's Haystack, Rouen Cathedral and Poplar series, and pissarro's The Garden and the Spring of Flowers in Pontoise. Post-impressionism emphasizes the expression of subjective feelings. Most of the works of Van Gogh, Gauguin and Cezanne express the author's inner feelings or convey some symbolic meaning through factors such as color, composition and modeling. Van Gogh's Starry Night and Gauguin's Who Are We? Where do we come from? Where are you going? "There is a strong symbolic color. In a letter to my brother Theo anti-Gao, I wrote: "... color should be omnipotent. By simplifying colors, things will be given a more magnificent style. Here, color should give people a general feeling of rest or sleep. "Cezanne's works have transcended the level of reappearance of nature through the study of picture structure, thus having certain metaphysical significance.
