It can be said that impressionism is one of those art
reconciling eras of art between essence and evolution. If analyzed how the
world suffered drastic changes of art tendencies, first neoclassicism integrated
back ancient Greek art. Then, the world drastically jumped to realism that
completely changed the way in which artists view the world from dreamy and
mythical to crude and realistic. Then, impressionism came. The world forgot
about the old and mythical. During the
impressionism era the artists’ view of the world challenged original painting
techniques and rules. Its biggest exponent, Claude Monet used free brushing
techniques, bright colors and thin lines to define shapes and forms. Thus, it
changes the classical, detailed “fresco” appearance of paintings created previously.
On the other hand, new century, new society and new idealism. Therefore,
impressionist paintings where mostly portraits of people socializing in cafes,
natural landscapes and all types of city views. Impressionism is also about modernity
and independence, that is why perhaps today’s world is filled with the presence
of the work of painters as Monet and Renoir anywhere. Impressionism gave a quite change in people’s
perspective of the world and art itself. At the end, impressionism portrayed
the life of people form a modern view.
