Emerged in France in 1874, impressionism was an art movement that began to explore, jointly, the intensity of colors and the sensitivity of the artist.
The name "Impressionism" was given after the pejorative statement of French art critic Louis Leroy to view screen "Impression du Soleil Levant" by Monet, one of the leading artists of the movement.
• The painting should show the shades that objects acquire to reflect the sunlight at a given moment, because the colors of nature change constantly depending on the incidence of sunlight; • It is also an instant painting just like the photography; • Figures should not have sharp edges because the drawing is no longer the primary means of structural frame,becoming the stain/color; • The shadows should be bright and colorful as the visual impression that cause us.
The black is never used in an Impressionist masterpiece full; • The contrasts of light and shade must be obtained in accordance with the law of complementary colors.
So a yellow next to a violet produces a more realistic effect than a chiaroscuro used by academism in the past.
This guidance would give later rise to pointillism; • The shadows should be bright and colorful; Main Impressionist artists FINE ARTS - Claude Monet (French painter) - Edgar Degas (French painter and sculptor) - Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French painter) - Édouard Manet (French painter) - Frédéric Bazille (French painter) - Gustave Caillebotte (French painter) - Mary Cassatt (American painter) - Berthe Morisot (French painter) - Armand Guillaumin (French painter) Music The basic ideas of Impressionism are adopted by music in 1890, in France.
The works purport to describe images, no more feelings or existential issues, as in the romanticism.
Impressionism abandons the tonal music - structured from the election of one of the 12 notes of the scale (the seven basic and the semitones)-main.
This choice is based on the distinction between the notes that will be equivalent to the tension and those that will correspond to the relaxation in composition.
Impressionist music sustains the modal scales (defined from the recombination of a set of notes elected as basic to the tunes of a culture).
Uses the modal scales from the East, European popular music and the middle ages.
Achille-Claude Debussy All musical Impressionism is based on the French Claude Debussy the father of modern music.
He, thanks to their rebellion and to your nonconformist streak, operated a revolution relying more on his ear and not so much in the treaties of harmony and composition.
