Please help me write a 500-word impressionist art review.

Impressionism is a painting school that rose in France in the second half of the19th century. The name comes from Monet's painting Impression of Sunrise, which was ridiculed by critics when the author of this school held an exhibition in 1874. This school opposed the conservative thought and expression of the academic school at that time, and adopted the creative method of directly describing the scenery under the outdoor sun, pursuing the overall sense and atmosphere of the object in the change of light and color. It advocates reflecting the instantaneous impression of nature according to the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple in the solar spectrum, which is contrary to the theme of religious myths in the past and Chen Xiangyin's beige tone, leading to a new method of using the principles of light and color to strengthen expression in European painting, which has a great impact on the innovation of painting techniques. Impressionism: Discovering colors in outdoor sunlight.

Judging from the grand opening of the exhibition and the attention of the media, French impressionist painting is very popular in China. Since the beginning of the 20th century, domestic scholars have written articles to introduce and evaluate Impressionist painting, and the word Impressionism has also appeared in various articles. They analyzed the characteristics of Impressionist art from different angles, and Impressionist painting had a far-reaching impact on China's modern oil painting. Some scholars and artists compare Impressionist art with China art, and think that the aesthetic tendency of Impressionism has something in common with China traditional painting. Xu Beihong attached great importance to the sketches of impressionist painters, affirmed the use of color by impressionist painters, and said that their paintings were verve-oriented. Lin Fengmian affirmed the contribution of Impressionism from the innovative way of painting. Huang realized that impressionist landscape painting and China landscape painting have something in common. The most important achievement of impressionist painting is to discover and express the colors under outdoor natural light and capture the instantaneous changes of nature. In order to capture the "impression" of the moment, impressionist painting tends to be more casual in composition, striving to highlight the contingency of the picture, increase the vividness of the picture and the atmosphere of life, and highlight the expression of the inner subjective image. It is necessary to remind the audience, especially the small audience, that it is best not to be too close to the painting when appreciating impressionist painting. If you look closely, you will feel that the colors are fragmented and not mixed.

Impressionism: Causing Great Changes in World Art Forms

Impressionism is an important stage in the transition of European art from realism to modernism in the middle of19th century. Impressionist painters entered the French painting world with an innovative attitude, pointing to Chen Xiangyin's classical painting school and artificial romanticism. Impressionist painters absorbed the nutrition of realistic painting and began to study and express outdoor natural light in their paintings. According to the latest optical theory at that time, "the color of an object is produced by the irradiation of light, and the inherent color of the object does not exist." Impressionist painters believe that the scenery has different colors under different lighting conditions. Impressionist painters advocated going out of the studio and sketching outdoors, striving to truly depict nature, directly depicting the scenery and daily life under the sun, and abandoning the narrow earthy tones since16th century. The representative painters of Impressionism are Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Sisley and pissarro. After impressionism, Cezanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh all thought that painting should not only imitate the objective world in natural light like impressionism, but should show the painter's subjective feelings about objective things more. This is the famous "post-impressionist" Three Musketeers. Since then, modernist artistic thoughts have emerged one after another, and the great changes in world art forms have begun.

Impressionism: Born in Laughter

1863 "Salon's Unsuccessful Works Exhibition" was held in Paris. Manet exhibited his "Lunch on the Grass" and painted a naked woman and gentlemen having lunch on the grass. This painting was considered indecent and was severely criticized and laughed at. Innovative painters such as Monet, Renoir, Degas, Sisley, pissarro and Cezanne are all willing to form an alliance with Manet. 1in April, 874, an exhibition called "Unknown Artists such as Painters, Sculptors, Printmakers" was held in the studio of photographer Nadal in Capesin Street, Paris. "Crazy, grotesque, disgusting and ugly!" This was condemned by an art critic in Paris, and the exhibition soon became a gossip topic in Paris. The audience not only laughed, but even spat on the canvas. Among them, a small seascape painting by Monet attracted the most ridicule. It painted the morning scene of Harvard Harbor, named Impression of Sunrise, and Leroy, a journalist with a conservative artistic view, used it to draw a joke.

Representative painters include Monet, pissarro, Sisley, Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, Cezanne, Gauguin and Seurat. [Edit this paragraph] Features put the fresh and vivid sense of nature in the first place, carefully observe the natural scenery bathed in light, seek and grasp the cold and warm changes and interactions of colors, accurately grasp objects in a seemingly random way, record changing light and color effects on canvas, and leave an instant and eternal image. This method of sketching from direct external light captures various vivid impressions and presents various styles.

Because all colors are produced by light, they mix colors according to the spectra of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple. Because light is changing rapidly, they think that only by grasping the flash of light can we uncover the mystery of nature. Therefore, in painting, we pay attention to the study and expression of external light, advocate going outdoors and painting under the sun according to the observation of the eyes and the direct feeling of the scene, so as to show the subtle changes of the color of the object under the light. As a result, impressionist painting changed the black of traditional painting into bright blue and purple in the treatment of shadows. Impressionist painting replaced the simple lines and surfaces of traditional painting with dots, thus realizing the description of light that traditional painting could not achieve. Specifically, when we observe impressionist paintings at close range, we will see many different dots with messy colors, but when we observe them at a distance, these dots will gather together like seven colors of light, giving people the feeling of light and achieving unexpected results.

Turning painting from objective natural reproduction to subjective spiritual expression embodies the aesthetic concept of impressionist painting independence. Impressionism opposes western classical traditional painting in artistic spirit and emphasizes the creation of artistic forms in the new era; They don't pay much attention to the thematic expression of reality, and suggest that life and objective images should be naturally and casually expressed; They are divorced from the social and educational functions that traditional art pays attention to, from the realistic plot and drama structure of artistic expression, and exclude the narrative literary content. They pay attention to the painter's self-feeling and conscious expression of the real situation, are good at visually and objectively reproducing and describing the living state and existing form of the real situation, and change painting from objective natural reproduction to subjective spiritual expression, so as to cater to the aesthetic needs of emerging citizens and strive to embody the independent aesthetic concept of Impressionist painting. Impressionism is not against taking nature as a teacher, but only emphasizes "don't lose the first impression you feel". Impressionists believe that "memory" and "imagination" can be "liberated from the bondage of nature". Cezanne also reminded painters to "avoid literary tendency" and exclude narrative literary content from painting. The simplicity and truthfulness of pissarro's Peasant Girl and the agility and vividness of Shepherdess embody "taking nature as a teacher" and describe "my first impression". The devotion and emotion of degas horse racing, the leisure and chic of riding and walking, and the joy and ecstasy of ballet dancers on the stage are superimposed with "memory" and "imagination" in an attempt to "liberate from the bondage of nature". Cezanne's Curved Tree is open-minded and wild, Bridge over the Mana River is quiet and pure, and Giant Pine on the outskirts of Aix is concise and open-minded, following the "color logic". Impressionist painters walked out of the traditional artistic tendency with "sociological function" and entered the social life at that time with "independence of painting". Manet's outstanding genre paintings, such as "Coffee Concert Singer" and "Foley in Cafe? 6? 1 Becer pub, etc. , just a masterpiece in this respect. Lautreck, despite his aristocratic background, expressed reality with irony. The nightlife of the upper class in Paris described by him has no elegant and noble life interest, but a degenerate, filthy and deceptive world. The revelry in the hustle and bustle in "His Ball at Moulin Rouge" and the meditation and helplessness of the characters in "Sayoko the Clown" are really painful groans. Here, we can also understand that Impressionism can't really reverse the "sociological function" in traditional art. Impressionism lives in a society full of contradictions, and even if it repeatedly emphasizes the aesthetic concept of painting independence, it can't really step into "independence" that is divorced from "sociological function".

Paying attention to the integration of light, color, shape, meaning and beauty in painting embodies the main characteristics of the combination of impressionist art and optics. Impressionist painting has made a breakthrough in the expression of light and color, seeking form in light and color, eulogizing meaning and beauty in light and color, understanding the dialectical relationship between light, color, shape, meaning and beauty in painting language, introducing flickering sunshine and subtle shadows into the picture, and making painting fresh, bright and full of vitality. In impressionist painting, light and color are the basic painting language, artistic elements, fast-flowing musical melody and slow-flowing cultural symbols. Light and color are the artistic starting points of form, meaning and beauty, and form, meaning and beauty are all shaped, expressed and displayed in light and color. The most basic painting technique of impressionist painters is to explore an effective method to break through the single and seemingly unchangeable "inherent" color of objects; They try to capture the instantaneous color of objects at a specific time, which is influenced by certain environmental conditions, spatial distance and other objects around them. They began with painting water and vividly described the color reflected by water waves. They further extend to the expression of light and color from architecture to the sky. Impressionists' exploration of light and color benefited from scientists' new discovery of the nature of light at the beginning of the19th century, which gave birth to the cultural leap produced by the combination of art and science. Monet repeatedly described Rouen Cathedral and haystacks in different periods, precisely to capture the instantaneous light and color. In this rare exhibition, "Rouen Cathedral, the door from the front, brown harmony" and "Rouen Cathedral, the effect of sunshine at night" are two of more than 30 oil paintings painted by Monet for the church. While painting these paintings, he wrote in a letter to his wife that he would make some new discoveries that he had never seen before every day, so he would soon make up for them, but at the same time he would lose something.

The juxtaposition, overlapping and complementary colors of primary colors form a new impressionist painting language. In order to express the dynamic changes of objects and colorful and bizarre light colors, impressionist painters adopted the method of juxtaposition of small strokes and tones. Some colors are no longer allocated on the palette, but the three primary colors of red, yellow and blue overlap side by side from time to time, and the red, green, yellow, purple, blue and orange complement each other, which makes the colors produce new harmony in the strong visual impact. Impressionism's new "light and color" technique has formed a new painting language, which is refreshing.

"Moving the easel outdoors" has become an important painting method of Impressionism. It is not a simple displacement of painting place, but a change of painting method, which changes the traditional western painting method to sketch the scene in the sun and capture and describe the subtle effect of the color of objects in the sun. Renoir likes to sketch models in the outdoor forest, so as to carefully study the green reflection and bright spot effect on the model's body and face. Renoir revealed the mystery of color blooming and flowing from the fresh natural scenery, and realized the beauty and harmony of color, the joy and change of sunshine, the rhythm and frankness of nature, and the clarity and warmth of life. Therefore, with the shadow under the umbrella, the crystal visual color and the sincere charm of non-visual color in Li Si's eyes, the summer capital is bright and beautiful in spring. Painting in the sun laid the foundation for the rise and development of impressionist painting in the way of painting.

Change the traditional western painting, learn from various painting schools, and leave the cultural track of impressionism knocking on the door of modern art in the 20th century. Impressionist artistic thoughts came into being with impressionist painting, which flourished in the surge of impressionist artistic thoughts. The rise of impressionism lies in the transformation of western traditional painting and the reference of various painting schools in the first half of the 9th century, including classicism, romanticism and realism. The rebellion of impressionist painting is manifested in many aspects. Impressionism soon formed its own artistic style, painting characteristics and cultural style. In the second half of the19th century, it was unique, but it also showed the limitations of its own artistic choice and cultural orientation, which led to confusion and division. In this process, Impressionism, New Impressionism and Post-Impressionism came into being one after another. After the decline of Impressionism, Neo-Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, Cubism and all kinds of rational abstract art in the 20th century have gained impetus from it. Impressionism, neo-impressionism and post-impressionism opened the door to modern art in the 20th century. Regarding the cultural connotation of Impressionist painting, choose its essence and describe it as follows:

First of all, painting has changed from objective natural representation to subjective spiritual expression, which embodies the aesthetic concept of impressionist painting independence. Impressionism opposes western classical traditional painting in artistic spirit and emphasizes the creation of artistic forms in the new era; They don't pay much attention to the thematic expression of reality, and suggest that life and objective images should be naturally and casually expressed; They are divorced from the social and educational functions that traditional art pays attention to, from the realistic plot and drama structure of artistic expression, and exclude the narrative literary content.
