Impressionism and Claude Monet
Claude Monet is one, if not the most important and renowned artist of the Impressionist movement. The popularization of the term “impressionism” comes from one of his early paintings Impression, Sunrise, a watery and fuzzy seascape of the harbor of Monet’s hometown of Le Havre.
Impression, Sunrise and many of Monet’s works were scandalous breaks with the tradition of 19th century art and truly changed the course of art history forever. (Index: Impression, Sunrise is one of 400 works of art visitors can see on display at Beyond Monet in Miami, alongside other iconic paintings like Poppies and the Water lilies series.)
The Impressionist movement is generally considered to have started in the 1860s, when many future protagonists of the movement met in the art academy circuit and began to share a taste for a different approach to that of art. academic at the time; instead of the grandeur of mythological and historical paintings, these students, including Monet, were interested in painting their everyday surroundings, landscapes and the everyday life of their time.
The initial reception of Impressionist art was mixed and ridiculed as unfinished, non-technical work lacking in quality. After many rejections of their work by the Paris Salon, the annual art exhibition in Paris, Monet and other artists organized their own Salon in 1874. In a review of this exhibition, one critic used derisively the word “impressionist” to describe the quality of the works, a term which ended up winning the favor of the public and the artists.
Impressionist art does not have many specific rules like previous style schools might have had as it was formed and developed by artists who went out of the ordinary and the expected, seeking to create something out of the ordinary. different, looking at the world as it was and depicting with a loser, freer brushstrokes and composition. It became the most important art movement of the 1800s and changed painting as it was known at the time.
Monet’s style
Monet’s work is often considered to be almost synonymous with the Impressionist movement, characterized by a preference for landscapes, exploring light and its moving nature, attempting to portray reality through ambience and well, the impression it had on him. Monet’s central method, like most Impressionists, sought to capture their surroundings through emotion and perception rather than precision, emphasizing sensation over realistic detail – sunlight reflecting off the sea at Le Havre, the water lilies floating on its pond, or the rolling green of the plans of Parisian parks instead of the great mythological representations considered as “great art†genres.
