Impressionism L9N came to the French painting world with an innovative attitude in the 1960s and 1970s of 19. Its sharp edge was to oppose Chen Xiangyin's classical painting school and fell into artificial romanticism because of his obsession with medieval knight literature. Impressionism absorbed the nutrition of realism of Koro, barbizon School and Courbet, and under the inspiration of modern science and technology (especially optical theory and practice) in the19th century, it paid attention to the study and expression of external light in painting. Impressionist painters advocated outdoor sketching and directly depicted objects in the sun, thus abandoning earthy tones, which has not changed much since16th century, and showed subtle color changes according to the painter's own eyes observation and direct feelings. In this respect, Impressionist painters also gained useful experience from Dutch small painting school, Spanish painter Velazquez, British painter Turner and constable. Starting from Impressionism, European painters tried to get rid of the influence of literature and pay more attention to the painting language itself. There are two kinds of impressionists. One is represented by Degas; The other is represented by Monet. Of course, there are also painters between the two types. As early as the 1960s, a group of young people with the spirit of exploration and innovation were deeply dissatisfied with the conservative official salon's suppression of young people's creative spirit. They took Courbet's fighting spirit against official art as an example, United around Manet, who was snubbed by the official salon and dared to explore new things, and formed a group opposed to the official salon. These painters met Renoir's studio in Basil and sketched directly on the banks of the Seine. Artists who often attend parties include Monet, Renoir, pissarro, Basil and Cezanne. Critics include Du Rui and Rivera, and the party is sponsored by art dealer Du Lang Runje. 1874 In April, this group of young painters held an exhibition in the studio of Na-Dar, a photographer in Kaposin Street, Paris. They call themselves the Association of Unknown Painters, Sculptors and Printmakers. Attending the exhibition are Monet, Renoir, pissarro, Sisley, Degas, Cezanne, Mo Lisuo, Qingye and others. In the exhibition, the title of Monet's oil painting Impression Sunrise was ridiculed by a conservative journalist Louis leroy, who called the exhibition "Impressionist Exhibition", hence the name "Impressionist". The Impressionist Art Exhibition was held eight times from 1874 to 1886. At 1874, 1876, 1877, 1879, 1880, 188 1 respectively. Except for the first, fourth and eighth exhibitions, the word "Impressionism" is used as the name of the exhibition.

Impressionism is a loose art society. This club has no clear plan. Artists get together just because their painting styles are the same, so it is convenient for them to hold exhibitions together. Some artists who participated in the exhibition were obsessed with Impressionism for a while, but later they pursued something else. Some also repeatedly change the style of painting. In addition, the level of participating painters is not consistent. Impressionism in painting is equivalent to naturalism in French literature. Impressionism and naturalism are both influenced by philosophical positivism.

Famous painters: Monet, pissarro Van Gogh, Garreton, Cezanne Gauguin, Renoir, Seurat, Sinek Lautrec. Judging from the development of European painting history, it is in the works of impressionist painters that swaying sunshine and subtle shadows are introduced into the picture, and painting becomes fresh, bright and full of vitality. The artist's pursuit of truth reached its peak in the impressionist era, and then began to decline. From MANET to Cezanne, European painting tradition is self-denial and self-perfection, which constitutes the development framework of the whole western modern painting. Impressionist painters were misunderstood or even ridiculed at the beginning of artistic activities, which lasted for a short time, but had a far-reaching impact on western art, affecting music and literature. By the beginning of the 20th century, Impressionism had become a popular art school. Until today, impressionist painting is still more popular with audiences all over the world than other schools in the history of painting. Through the works of Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas or Cezanne, this exhibition will introduce the evolution of French Impressionism: its beginning, development and its influence on later painting art.
