When was impressionism an art school?

Impressionist painting is an epoch-making art school in the history of western painting. From 65438 to 2009, it reached its peak in the 1970s and 1980s. Its influence spread all over Europe and gradually spread to all parts of the world, but it achieved the most brilliant artistic achievements in France. /kloc-From the second half of the 9th century to the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of impressionist artists emerged in France, who created a large number of classic masterpieces that are still familiar to people, such as Manet's Lunch on the Grass and Monet's Impression of Sunrise.

1. Style characteristics:

Impressionism Impressionism (1874- 1886): painting with instant impressions without reliable knowledge. When a painter grasps a characteristic surface to paint, he has to fly a brush to draw colors directly on the canvas. They can only consider the overall effect of the painting and less consider the details. Impressionists painted with extensive brushwork, and their works lacked decoration, which was a kind of sloppy brushwork. Impressionism takes the direct description of the scenery in outdoor sunlight, pursues the thinking of trying to figure out the changes of light and color, and attaches the instantaneous light feeling to the canvas according to the processing in the mind. This kind of thinking about light and color has also reached the extreme of the beauty of color and light perception.

2. Creation method:

Impressionism advocates reflecting the instantaneous impression of nature according to the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple in the solar spectrum. Impressionist works choose a wide range of themes, and painters try to capture the ever-changing nature in cities and villages.

3. Artistic point of view:

Impressionist painters opposed the classical academic school, which occupied the orthodox position at that time, and opposed the romanticism that was increasingly falling into cliché s and affectation. But under the impetus of the realistic painting style of Koro, barbizon School and Courbet, it absorbed the nutrition of paintings from Holland, Britain, Spain, Japan and China, and was inspired by modern science, especially optics. They think that all colors are produced by light, so they are based on. 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.

Impressionist painters are divided into two types because of their different personal interests: emphasizing light and color, emphasizing modeling and sketching. The former is represented by Monet and Renoir, while the latter is represented by Degas, with Camille pissarro in between.

Because of the pursuit of external light and color, impressionist painters mainly take trivial things around them and direct experiences as their themes, and describe more people and natural scenery in reality. In composition, more fragments or scenes of objective images are intercepted to deal with the picture, which breaks the boundary between sketching and creation. In the process of long-term sketching, these painters found that light has a great influence on color: different weather, different seasons and different times, the same scenery will show different colors and different tones, and physical optics has also been discovered by scientists, which has a new scientific understanding of color changes in the air. For example, in the same church, painters draw different color effects at different times. When the sun shines, the part of the object irradiated by the sun is influenced by the light source, and it will be biased to the color tone of the light source. The backlight or projection is not gray, but has rich color composition; For another example, the forest in autumn is golden yellow, and the trunks and stones covered with golden yellow are purple instead of the original color, and so on. Painters apply these color laws to their paintings, and "chromatics" comes into being.
