The impressionists broke the rule of conventional art when they were expected to abide to the rules that had been followed for centuries. Who are these impressionists?
They are a group of young talented artist who came together with a purpose of creating a different art. They painted something they saw for the first time- their first impression of things.
Initially their art was considered so different that it was mocked by art critics and was not accepted by the Academie. Artist under the influence of the Academie had edges lines and smooth texture on canvas, showing no brush strokes at all.
Their canvas were usually dark coloured and colours were unadventurous, creating a dismal scene.
This group of impressionists broke all the rules and did the complete opposite in every way. Instead, this fresh artist used a full spectrum pallet which means no black and brown.
They only focused on using light, nature colours, white as the background and did not blend colours in an attempt to make the painting more vibrant and interesting.
The impressionists came together in Paris, Batignolles, a place where people who had flair in art would gather. Artist like Claudes Monet, famous for landscape painting, came along with other famous artist like Paule Lezanne, Camille Pissaro and Alfred Sisley.
Together they went against the approval of the Academie. Their group was then called "Sociate Anonyme des artistes" with a purpose to allow artist to go by their own rules and not to worry about the "interference of a jury".
Edouard Manet's, one of the impressionists, artwork. His painting was a departure from the rules.
The rules said: show no brushstrokes yet the impressionists flaunted theirs. The rules said: paint indoors, in a studio but the impressionists took their rainbow palettes and canvases into the open air and painted from real life.
