Claude Monet
Alfred Sisley
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Edgar Degas
Vincent Van Gogh
A French 19th century art movement which marked a
momentous break from tradition in European painting. The
Impressionists incorporated new scientific research into the
physics of color to achieve a more exact representation of
color and tone.
The sudden change in the look of these paintings was brought about by a
change in methodology: applying paint in small touches of pure color rather
than broader strokes, and painting out of doors to catch a particular fleeting
impression of color and light. The result was to emphasize the artist's perception
of the subject matter as much as the subject itself.
