This Style of Art Refers to a Movement in Painting That Explores the Way a Camera ââåseesã¢ââ

19th-century art move

Impressionism is a 19th-century art motion characterized by relatively small, sparse, notwithstanding visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on authentic depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, unusual visual angles, and inclusion of movement every bit a crucial element of human perception and experience. Impressionism originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s.

The Impressionists faced harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France. The name of the mode derives from the title of a Claude Monet piece of work, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satirical review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari. The evolution of Impressionism in the visual arts was presently followed past analogous styles in other media that became known as impressionist music and impressionist literature.

Overview [edit]

Radicals in their fourth dimension, early Impressionists violated the rules of academic painting. They synthetic their pictures from freely brushed colours that took precedence over lines and contours, following the instance of painters such as Eugène Delacroix and J. M. West. Turner. They also painted realistic scenes of mod life, and often painted outdoors. Previously, still lifes and portraits as well as landscapes were usually painted in a studio.^[1] The Impressionists found that they could capture the momentary and transient effects of sunlight by painting outdoors or en plein air. They portrayed overall visual effects instead of details, and used curt "broken" brush strokes of mixed and pure unmixed colour—not composite smoothly or shaded, equally was customary—to achieve an issue of intense colour vibration.

Impressionism emerged in French republic at the same fourth dimension that a number of other painters, including the Italian artists known equally the Macchiaioli, and Winslow Homer in the Us, were as well exploring plein-air painting. The Impressionists, however, developed new techniques specific to the mode. Encompassing what its adherents argued was a different way of seeing, it is an art of immediacy and movement, of candid poses and compositions, of the play of low-cal expressed in a vivid and varied use of colour.

The public, at first hostile, gradually came to believe that the Impressionists had captured a fresh and original vision, fifty-fifty if the art critics and fine art institution disapproved of the new style. By recreating the sensation in the heart that views the field of study, rather than delineating the details of the subject, and past creating a welter of techniques and forms, Impressionism is a forerunner of various painting styles, including Neo-Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism.

Ancestry [edit]

In the center of the 19th century—a time of change, every bit Emperor Napoleon III rebuilt Paris and waged war—the Académie des Beaux-Arts dominated French art. The Académie was the preserver of traditional French painting standards of content and style. Historical subjects, religious themes, and portraits were valued; mural and still life were non. The Académie preferred carefully finished images that looked realistic when examined closely. Paintings in this style were made up of precise brush strokes carefully blended to hide the creative person'due south hand in the work.^[three] Colour was restrained and ofttimes toned down farther by the awarding of a golden varnish.^[4]

The Académie had an annual, juried art show, the Salon de Paris, and artists whose piece of work was displayed in the show won prizes, garnered commissions, and enhanced their prestige. The standards of the juries represented the values of the Académie, represented by the works of such artists as Jean-Léon Gérôme and Alexandre Cabanel.

In the early 1860s, four young painters—Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frédéric Bazille—met while studying nether the academic artist Charles Gleyre. They discovered that they shared an interest in painting landscape and contemporary life rather than historical or mythological scenes. Following a practice that had become increasingly popular by mid-century, they oftentimes ventured into the countryside together to pigment in the open air,^[five] but not for the purpose of making sketches to exist developed into advisedly finished works in the studio, as was the usual custom.^[6] Past painting in sunlight direct from nature, and making bold use of the vivid synthetic pigments that had become bachelor since the starting time of the century, they began to develop a lighter and brighter manner of painting that extended further the Realism of Gustave Courbet and the Barbizon school. A favourite meeting place for the artists was the Café Guerbois on Avenue de Clichy in Paris, where the discussions were oftentimes led by Édouard Manet, whom the younger artists greatly admired. They were soon joined past Camille Pissarro, Paul Cézanne, and Armand Guillaumin.^[7]

During the 1860s, the Salon jury routinely rejected almost half of the works submitted by Monet and his friends in favour of works by artists true-blue to the approved fashion.^[8] In 1863, the Salon jury rejected Manet's The Luncheon on the Grass (Le déjeuner sur 50'herbe) primarily because it depicted a nude adult female with two clothed men at a picnic. While the Salon jury routinely accepted nudes in historical and emblematic paintings, they condemned Manet for placing a realistic nude in a contemporary setting.^[ix] The jury's severely worded rejection of Manet'due south painting appalled his admirers, and the unusually large number of rejected works that yr perturbed many French artists.

After Emperor Napoleon III saw the rejected works of 1863, he decreed that the public be allowed to judge the work themselves, and the Salon des Refusés (Salon of the Refused) was organized. While many viewers came only to laugh, the Salon des Refusés drew attention to the existence of a new tendency in art and attracted more visitors than the regular Salon.^[10]

Artists' petitions requesting a new Salon des Refusés in 1867, and again in 1872, were denied. In December 1873, Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas and several other artists founded the Société Anonyme Coopérative des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs ("Cooperative and Bearding Clan of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers") to exhibit their artworks independently.^[xi] Members of the association were expected to forswear participation in the Salon.^[12] The organizers invited a number of other progressive artists to bring together them in their inaugural exhibition, including the older Eugène Boudin, whose example had showtime persuaded Monet to prefer plein air painting years before.^[xiii] Another painter who greatly influenced Monet and his friends, Johan Jongkind, declined to participate, equally did Édouard Manet. In full, xxx artists participated in their first exhibition, held in April 1874 at the studio of the photographer Nadar.

The critical response was mixed. Monet and Cézanne received the harshest attacks. Critic and humorist Louis Leroy wrote a scathing review in the newspaper Le Charivari in which, making wordplay with the championship of Claude Monet'south Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), he gave the artists the name by which they became known. Derisively titling his article The Exhibition of the Impressionists, Leroy declared that Monet'due south painting was at nigh, a sketch, and could hardly be termed a finished work.

He wrote, in the course of a dialogue between viewers,

"Impression—I was sure of it. I was just telling myself that, since I was impressed, in that location had to be some impression in it ... and what freedom, what ease of workmanship! Wallpaper in its embryonic state is more finished than that seascape."^[xiv]

The term Impressionist quickly gained favour with the public. It was likewise accepted by the artists themselves, even though they were a diverse group in fashion and temperament, unified primarily past their spirit of independence and rebellion. They exhibited together—albeit with shifting membership—eight times between 1874 and 1886. The Impressionists' manner, with its loose, spontaneous brushstrokes, would soon become synonymous with modern life.^[4]

Monet, Sisley, Morisot, and Pissarro may be considered the "purest" Impressionists, in their consequent pursuit of an art of spontaneity, sunlight, and colour. Degas rejected much of this, as he believed in the primacy of cartoon over colour and belittled the practice of painting outdoors.^[15] Renoir turned abroad from Impressionism for a fourth dimension during the 1880s, and never entirely regained his commitment to its ideas. Édouard Manet, although regarded by the Impressionists as their leader,^[16] never abandoned his liberal employ of black as a colour (while Impressionists avoided its use and preferred to obtain darker colours past mixing), and never participated in the Impressionist exhibitions. He continued to submit his works to the Salon, where his painting Castilian Singer had won a 2d class medal in 1861, and he urged the others to practice likewise, arguing that "the Salon is the real field of battle" where a reputation could be fabricated.^[17]

Amongst the artists of the core group (minus Bazille, who had died in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870), defections occurred as Cézanne, followed after by Renoir, Sisley, and Monet, abstained from the group exhibitions then they could submit their works to the Salon. Disagreements arose from problems such every bit Guillaumin's membership in the group, championed past Pissarro and Cézanne against opposition from Monet and Degas, who thought him unworthy.^[18] Degas invited Mary Cassatt to display her piece of work in the 1879 exhibition, but likewise insisted on the inclusion of Jean-François Raffaëlli, Ludovic Lepic, and other realists who did non represent Impressionist practices, causing Monet in 1880 to accuse the Impressionists of "opening doors to get-go-come daubers".^[nineteen] The group divided over invitations to Paul Signac and Georges Seurat to showroom with them in 1886. Pissarro was the only artist to testify at all eight Impressionist exhibitions.

The private artists accomplished few financial rewards from the Impressionist exhibitions, merely their art gradually won a degree of public credence and support. Their dealer, Durand-Ruel, played a major office in this equally he kept their work earlier the public and bundled shows for them in London and New York. Although Sisley died in poverty in 1899, Renoir had a great Salon success in 1879.^[xx] Monet became secure financially during the early 1880s and then did Pissarro by the early 1890s. By this time the methods of Impressionist painting, in a diluted form, had get commonplace in Salon art.^[21]

Impressionist techniques [edit]

Mary Cassatt, Lydia Leaning on Her Arms (in a theatre box), 1879

French painters who prepared the manner for Impressionism include the Romantic colourist Eugène Delacroix, the leader of the realists Gustave Courbet, and painters of the Barbizon schoolhouse such equally Théodore Rousseau. The Impressionists learned much from the piece of work of Johan Barthold Jongkind, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Eugène Boudin, who painted from nature in a direct and spontaneous style that prefigured Impressionism, and who befriended and advised the younger artists.

A number of identifiable techniques and working habits contributed to the innovative style of the Impressionists. Although these methods had been used by previous artists—and are often conspicuous in the piece of work of artists such every bit Frans Hals, Diego Velázquez, Peter Paul Rubens, John Constable, and J. M. W. Turner—the Impressionists were the kickoff to use them all together, and with such consistency. These techniques include:

• Curt, thick strokes of paint quickly capture the essence of the subject, rather than its details. The pigment is frequently practical impasto.
• Colours are applied side by side with as little mixing as possible, a technique that exploits the principle of simultaneous dissimilarity to make the colour announced more bright to the viewer.
• Greys and nighttime tones are produced by mixing complementary colours. Pure impressionism avoids the utilize of black paint.
• Moisture paint is placed into wet paint without waiting for successive applications to dry out, producing softer edges and intermingling of color.
• Impressionist paintings do not exploit the transparency of sparse paint films (glazes), which before artists manipulated carefully to produce effects. The impressionist painting surface is typically opaque.
• The paint is applied to a white or low-cal-coloured ground. Previously, painters often used dark grayness or strongly coloured grounds.
• The play of natural calorie-free is emphasized. Close attending is paid to the reflection of colours from object to object. Painters often worked in the evening to produce effets de soir—the shadowy effects of evening or twilight.
• In paintings made en plein air (outdoors), shadows are boldly painted with the blue of the heaven as it is reflected onto surfaces, giving a sense of freshness previously not represented in painting. (Blue shadows on snowfall inspired the technique.)

New technology played a role in the evolution of the style. Impressionists took advantage of the mid-century introduction of premixed paints in tin tubes (resembling modern toothpaste tubes), which allowed artists to work more spontaneously, both outdoors and indoors.^[22] Previously, painters made their ain paints individually, by grinding and mixing dry pigment powders with linseed oil, which were then stored in animal bladders.^[23]

Many vivid synthetic pigments became commercially available to artists for the showtime fourth dimension during the 19th century. These included cobalt blueish, viridian, cadmium yellow, and constructed ultramarine blue, all of which were in apply by the 1840s, before Impressionism.^[24] The Impressionists' manner of painting made bold use of these pigments, and of even newer colours such as cerulean blue,^[iv] which became commercially available to artists in the 1860s.^[24]

The Impressionists' progress toward a brighter manner of painting was gradual. During the 1860s, Monet and Renoir sometimes painted on canvases prepared with the traditional blood-red-chocolate-brown or grey basis.^[25] By the 1870s, Monet, Renoir, and Pissarro usually chose to paint on grounds of a lighter grey or biscuit colour, which functioned every bit a middle tone in the finished painting.^[25] By the 1880s, some of the Impressionists had come to prefer white or slightly off-white grounds, and no longer allowed the ground colour a significant role in the finished painting.^[26]

Content and limerick [edit]

Prior to the Impressionists, other painters, notably such 17th-century Dutch painters as January Steen, had emphasized mutual subjects, only their methods of limerick were traditional. They arranged their compositions then that the main subject field allowable the viewer'southward attention. J. M. Westward. Turner, while an artist of the Romantic era, anticipated the style of impressionism with his artwork.^[27] The Impressionists relaxed the boundary between subject and background and then that the effect of an Impressionist painting often resembles a snapshot, a part of a larger reality captured as if by gamble.^[28] Photography was gaining popularity, and as cameras became more than portable, photographs became more candid. Photography inspired Impressionists to represent momentary action, not only in the fleeting lights of a landscape, simply in the day-to-solar day lives of people.^{[29] [xxx]}

The development of Impressionism tin can be considered partly as a reaction by artists to the claiming presented past photography, which seemed to devalue the artist'southward skill in reproducing reality. Both portrait and landscape paintings were deemed somewhat deficient and lacking in truth as photography "produced lifelike images much more efficiently and reliably".^[31]

In spite of this, photography actually inspired artists to pursue other ways of artistic expression, and rather than compete with photography to emulate reality, artists focused "on the one affair they could inevitably do better than the photograph—by farther developing into an fine art class its very subjectivity in the formulation of the image, the very subjectivity that photography eliminated".^[31] The Impressionists sought to express their perceptions of nature, rather than create exact representations. This allowed artists to depict subjectively what they saw with their "tacit imperatives of taste and conscience".^[32] Photography encouraged painters to exploit aspects of the painting medium, similar colour, which photography then lacked: "The Impressionists were the starting time to consciously offer a subjective alternative to the photograph".^[31]

Another major influence was Japanese ukiyo-e art prints (Japonism). The art of these prints contributed significantly to the "snapshot" angles and unconventional compositions that became feature of Impressionism. An example is Monet's Jardin à Sainte-Adresse, 1867, with its assuming blocks of colour and limerick on a strong diagonal slant showing the influence of Japanese prints.^[34]

Edgar Degas was both an avid photographer and a collector of Japanese prints.^[35] His The Dance Class (La classe de danse) of 1874 shows both influences in its asymmetrical composition. The dancers are seemingly caught off guard in diverse awkward poses, leaving an surface area of empty flooring infinite in the lower right quadrant. He likewise captured his dancers in sculpture, such as the Little Dancer of Fourteen Years.

Women Impressionists [edit]

Impressionists, in varying degrees, were looking for ways to depict visual feel and contemporary subjects.^[36] Women Impressionists were interested in these same ideals only had many social and career limitations compared to male Impressionists. In particular, they were excluded from the imagery of the conservative social sphere of the boulevard, buffet, and dance hall.^[37] Likewise as imagery, women were excluded from the determinative discussions that resulted in meetings in those places; that was where male Impressionists were able to grade and share ideas about Impressionism.^[37] In the academic realm, women were believed to be incapable of handling circuitous subjects which led teachers to restrict what they taught female students.^[38] It was also considered unladylike to excel in art since women's truthful talents were then believed to centre on homemaking and mothering.^[38]

Even so several women were able to find success during their lifetime, fifty-fifty though their careers were afflicted by personal circumstances – Bracquemond, for example, had a husband who was resentful of her piece of work which acquired her to give up painting.^[39] The 4 most well known, namely, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès, Marie Bracquemond, and Berthe Morisot, are, and were, frequently referred to as the 'Women Impressionists'. Their participation in the series of eight Impressionist exhibitions that took place in Paris from 1874 to 1886 varied: Morisot participated in 7, Cassatt in four, Bracquemond in three, and Gonzalès did non participate.^{[39] [forty]}

The critics of the time lumped these four together without regard to their personal styles, techniques, or subject matter.^[41] Critics viewing their works at the exhibitions oft attempted to acknowledge the women artists' talents but confining them within a limited notion of femininity.^[42] Arguing for the suitability of Impressionist technique to women'southward manner of perception, Parisian critic S.C. de Soissons wrote:

1 can understand that women have no originality of thought, and that literature and music accept no feminine character; but surely women know how to detect, and what they see is quite dissimilar from that which men run across, and the fine art which they put in their gestures, in their toilet, in the ornament of their environment is sufficient to give is the idea of an instinctive, of a peculiar genius which resides in each one of them.^[43]

While Impressionism legitimized the domestic social life as subject matter, of which women had intimate cognition, it also tended to limit them to that subject matter. Portrayals of oft-identifiable sitters in domestic settings (which could offer commissions) were dominant in the exhibitions.^[44] The subjects of the paintings were often women interacting with their environment past either their gaze or movement. Cassatt, in item, was enlightened of her placement of subjects: she kept her predominantly female person figures from objectification and cliche; when they are not reading, they converse, sew, drinkable tea, and when they are inactive, they seem lost in thought.^[45]

The women Impressionists, like their male person counterparts, were striving for "truth," for new ways of seeing and new painting techniques; each artist had an individual painting style.^[46] Women Impressionists (particularly Morisot and Cassatt) were conscious of the balance of ability betwixt women and objects in their paintings – the conservative women depicted are non divers past decorative objects, but instead, interact with and dominate the things with which they live.^[47] There are many similarities in their depictions of women who seem both at ease and subtly confined.^[48] Gonzalès' Box at the Italian Opera depicts a woman staring into the altitude, at ease in a social sphere merely confined by the box and the man standing next to her. Cassatt'due south painting Immature Girl at a Window is brighter in color but remains constrained by the canvass border as she looks out the window.

Despite their success in their ability to have a career and Impressionism'due south demise attributed to its allegedly feminine characteristics (its sensuality, dependence on awareness, physicality, and fluidity) the iv women artists (and other, lesser-known women Impressionists) were largely omitted from fine art historical textbooks covering Impressionist artists until Tamar Garb'south Women Impressionists published in 1986.^[49] For example, Impressionism by Jean Leymarie, published in 1955 included no information on any women Impressionists.

Timeline: Lives of the Impressionists [edit]

The Impressionists

Associates and influenced artists [edit]

Among the close assembly of the Impressionists were several painters who adopted their methods to some caste. These include Jean-Louis Forain (who participated in Impressionist exhibitions in 1879, 1880, 1881 and 1886)^[54] and Giuseppe De Nittis, an Italian artist living in Paris who participated in the first Impressionist exhibit at the invitation of Degas, although the other Impressionists disparaged his piece of work.^[55] Federico Zandomeneghi was another Italian friend of Degas who showed with the Impressionists. Eva Gonzalès was a follower of Manet who did non exhibit with the group. James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American-born painter who played a part in Impressionism although he did not bring together the grouping and preferred grayed colours. Walter Sickert, an English creative person, was initially a follower of Whistler, and after an of import disciple of Degas; he did non showroom with the Impressionists. In 1904 the artist and writer Wynford Dewhurst wrote the first important study of the French painters published in English, Impressionist Painting: its genesis and evolution, which did much to popularize Impressionism in Cracking U.k..

By the early 1880s, Impressionist methods were affecting, at to the lowest degree superficially, the art of the Salon. Fashionable painters such as Jean Béraud and Henri Gervex found disquisitional and fiscal success by brightening their palettes while retaining the smoothen terminate expected of Salon art.^[56] Works by these artists are sometimes casually referred to as Impressionism, despite their remoteness from Impressionist practice.

The influence of the French Impressionists lasted long after most of them had died. Artists similar J.D. Kirszenbaum were borrowing Impressionist techniques throughout the twentieth century.

Beyond France [edit]

Every bit the influence of Impressionism spread beyond French republic, artists, too numerous to list, became identified as practitioners of the new style. Some of the more important examples are:

• The American Impressionists, including Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Frederick Carl Frieseke, Childe Hassam, Willard Metcalf, Lilla Cabot Perry, Theodore Robinson, Edmund Charles Tarbell, John Henry Twachtman, Catherine Wiley and J. Alden Weir.
• The Australian Impressionists, including Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton, Walter Withers, Charles Conder and Frederick McCubbin (who were prominent members of the Heidelberg Schoolhouse), and John Russell, a friend of Van Gogh, Rodin, Monet and Matisse.
• The Amsterdam Impressionists in the Netherlands, including George Hendrik Breitner, Isaac Israëls, Willem Bastiaan Tholen, Willem de Zwart, Willem Witsen and Jan Toorop.
• Anna Boch, Vincent van Gogh's friend Eugène Boch, Georges Lemmen and Théo van Rysselberghe, Impressionist painters from Belgium.
• Ivan Grohar, Rihard Jakopič, Matija Jama, and Matej Sternen, Impressionists from Slovenia. Their beginning was in the school of Anton Ažbe in Munich and they were influenced by Jurij Šubic and Ivana Kobilca, Slovene painters working in Paris.
• Wynford Dewhurst, Walter Richard Sickert, and Philip Wilson Steer were well known Impressionist painters from the Britain. Pierre Adolphe Valette, who was born in French republic but who worked in Manchester, was the tutor of L. S. Lowry.
• The High german Impressionists, including Lovis Corinth, Max Liebermann, Ernst Oppler, Max Slevogt and Baronial von Brandis.
• László Mednyánszky and Pál Szinyei-Merse in Hungary
• Theodor von Ehrmanns and Hugo Charlemont who were rare Impressionists among the more dominant Vienna Secessionist painters in Austria.
• William John Leech, Roderic O'Conor, and Walter Osborne in Ireland
• Konstantin Korovin and Valentin Serov in Russian federation
• Francisco Oller y Cestero, a native of Puerto Rico and a friend of Pissarro and Cézanne
• James Nairn in New Zealand
• William McTaggart in Scotland
• Laura Muntz Lyall, a Canadian artist
• Władysław Podkowiński, a Polish Impressionist and symbolist
• Nicolae Grigorescu in Romania
• Nazmi Ziya Güran, who brought Impressionism to Turkey
• Chafik Charobim in Egypt
• Eliseu Visconti in Brazil
• Joaquín Sorolla in Spain
• Faustino Brughetti, Fernando Fader, Candido Lopez, Martín Malharro, Walter de Navazio, Ramón Silva in Argentina
• Skagen Painters a group of Scandinavian artists who painted in a small Danish fishing village
• Nadežda Petrović in Serbia
• Ásgrímur Jónsson in Republic of iceland
• Fujishima Takeji in Japan
• Frits Thaulow in Norway and subsequently French republic

Sculpture, photography and movie [edit]

The sculptor Auguste Rodin is sometimes chosen an Impressionist for the way he used roughly modeled surfaces to suggest transient light effects.^[57]

Pictorialist photographers whose piece of work is characterized by soft focus and atmospheric effects have also been called Impressionists.

French Impressionist Movie house is a term applied to a loosely defined grouping of films and filmmakers in France from 1919 to 1929, although these years are debatable. French Impressionist filmmakers include Abel Gance, Jean Epstein, Germaine Dulac, Marcel Fifty'Herbier, Louis Delluc, and Dmitry Kirsanoff.

Music and literature [edit]

Musical Impressionism is the proper noun given to a move in European classical music that arose in the belatedly 19th century and continued into the middle of the 20th century. Originating in France, musical Impressionism is characterized by proffer and atmosphere, and eschews the emotional excesses of the Romantic era. Impressionist composers favoured short forms such equally the nocturne, arabesque, and prelude, and ofttimes explored uncommon scales such as the whole tone calibration. Possibly the most notable innovations of Impressionist composers were the introduction of major 7th chords and the extension of chord structures in 3rds to five- and half dozen-part harmonies.

The influence of visual Impressionism on its musical counterpart is debatable. Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel are mostly considered the greatest Impressionist composers, but Debussy disavowed the term, calling it the invention of critics. Erik Satie was also considered in this category, though his approach was regarded as less serious, more musical novelty in nature. Paul Dukas is another French composer sometimes considered an Impressionist, but his style is perhaps more closely aligned to the belatedly Romanticists. Musical Impressionism across French republic includes the piece of work of such composers as Ottorino Respighi (Italia), Ralph Vaughan Williams, Cyril Scott, and John Republic of ireland (England), Manuel De Falla and Isaac Albeniz (Spain), and Charles Griffes (America).

The term Impressionism has also been used to depict works of literature in which a few select details suffice to convey the sensory impressions of an incident or scene. Impressionist literature is closely related to Symbolism, with its major exemplars being Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Rimbaud, and Verlaine. Authors such as Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, Henry James, and Joseph Conrad have written works that are Impressionistic in the way that they describe, rather than interpret, the impressions, sensations and emotions that constitute a graphic symbol's mental life.

Post-Impressionism [edit]

During the 1880s several artists began to develop unlike precepts for the use of colour, pattern, grade, and line, derived from the Impressionist example: Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. These artists were slightly younger than the Impressionists, and their work is known as post-Impressionism. Some of the original Impressionist artists also ventured into this new territory; Camille Pissarro briefly painted in a pointillist mode, and fifty-fifty Monet abandoned strict plein air painting. Paul Cézanne, who participated in the kickoff and tertiary Impressionist exhibitions, developed a highly individual vision emphasising pictorial structure, and he is more often chosen a post-Impressionist. Although these cases illustrate the difficulty of assigning labels, the work of the original Impressionist painters may, by definition, be categorised equally Impressionism.
