Impressionism: painting by instant impression 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.
The Origin of Impressionist Painting
Impressionist painting (French: L 'Impressionisme, English: Impressionism, German: Impressionismus, Dutch: Impressionisme, Italian: impressionismo), also known as impressionism, is an epoch-making art school in the history of western painting, which rose in France from 1960s to 1990s in 19.
It was named after claude monet's oil painting Impression of Sunrise and was ridiculed by a reporter. This photo depicts the early morning in Le affret Harbor, and the sun has just risen. Because the painter has to finish his work in a very short moment before the light changes, he can't paint the picture in great detail.
When the academic painter saw this painting, he thought it was rough and too casual, so he mocked the painter of "barbizon" with ironic language.
That's a group of painters who don't know anything about painting. Impression of Sunrise was painted by impression, and some people echoed that these painters were "impressionists". Unexpectedly, these sarcastic words helped these painters, and Impressionism was born, but barbizon was gradually forgotten.
