Introduction

Impressionism

Term 'Impressionism' by and large applied to French Art Movement in the late nineteenth century. This movement aided other ancillaries like American Impressionism to rise. The term essentially refers to a faction of French painters, between the years 1860 and 1900, who composed master pieces of art based on unorthodox style, which attracted serious criticism, from art critics.

Characteristics

The painters composed their works under the open sky, and in natural light, at the same time, they endeavored to depict the visual sensation or subject, rather than remake the subject accurately. They composed an open work of art, which gives freedom to the subjects to run off the canvas or be intersected by the boundary of the frame. Another striking attribute witnessed by this period was use of brushstrokes to induce a movement or emotion. The paint applied alongside with the least mixing, while, at the same time, painters did not wait for the hues to get dry which culminated in an opaque finish. It was a clear departure from earlier techniques used for giving a translucent effect. There was a high attention paid on changing light, to portray mood and time.
