L’Impressionisme
19e siècle
• Impressionism was a 19th
century art movement that
began as a loose association of
Paris-based artists, who began
exhibiting their art publicly in
the 1860’s. The name of the
movement is derived from the
title of a Claude Monet painting,
called Impression, Sunrise.
Impressionist artists felt the
new technology of
Photography was ruining the
art of painting. They felt the
need to create a new style of
painting in which accurate
rendering of the subject was
not the main focus.
The Impressionists changed
the approach to painting by
recreating the sensation in
the eye that views the
subject, rather than
recreating the subject.
Characteristics of Impressionist
painting include:
• Visible brushstrokes
• Light Colors
• Emphasis on Light and the changing
qualities of it
• Ordinary Subject Matter
• Unusual Visual Angles
• Open Compositions

Techniques of Impressionists
•Short, thick strokes of paint.
•Colors are applied side-by-side with as little mixing as
possible, creating a vibrant surface.
•The optical mixing of colors occurs in the eye of the
viewer.
•Grays and dark tones are produced by mixing
complementary colors. In pure Impressionism the use
of black paint is avoided.
•Wet paint is placed into wet paint without waiting for
successive applications to dry, producing softer edges
and an intermingling of color.
•Painting in the evening to get effets de soir the shadowy effects of the light in the evening
or twilight.
•The surface of an Impressionist painting is
typically opaque.
•The play of natural light is emphasized.
•In paintings made en plein air (outdoors),
shadows are boldly painted with the blue of
the sky as it is reflected onto surfaces, giving
a sense of freshness and openness that was
not captured in painting previously.
