Impressionism -
It was impressionists who broke all the hard and fast rules of paintings.
They had their own approach in dealing with different tools and
techniques of painting and bringing out a picture specific and related
to the subject which is being handled. Impressionists had their
own working methods grew by the impressionist movement. The techniques
of impressionist painting feature pure unmixed colors and simplified
compositions. Impressionists specified more on overall effect rather
than broken details.
The brushstrokes increasingly became visible in impressionist
paintings and they always resembled the personality of their painters
invariably bound. Impressionists also emphasized the different
aspects of the play of natural light. They produced an effect
of their own in the paintings and reflected an indispensable touch
of their own in their creative works.
Main impressionist painters who strictly followed their own rules
and regulations are Lucy A Bacon, Mary Cassatt, Gustave Caillebotte,
Childe Hassam, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Alfred Sisley, Theodore
Robinson, Metcalfe and many more. They had strict principles the
impressionists upheld and enjoyed liberalism in their paintings.
Impressionist paintings mainly dealt with themes which are interesting
to the common people. For instance, ‘A Good Place to Fish’
is a fabulous painting which depicts the plainness, natural beauty
and simplicity involved. Even if impressionist paintings took
many years to accept and appreciate impressionist paintings, gradually
it ruled over all other movements and became prominent.
