Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement that originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s. Impressionist painting characteristics include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities, ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles
The development of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous styles in other media that became known as impressionist music and impressionist literature. By recreating the sensation in the eye that views the subject, rather than delineating the details of the subject, and by creating a welter of techniques and forms, Impressionism is a precursor of various painting styles, including Neo-Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism.
The term Impressionist quickly gained favour with the public. It was also accepted by the artists themselves, even though they were a diverse group in style and temperament, unified primarily by their spirit of independence and rebellion. The development of Impressionism can be considered partly as a reaction by artists to the challenge presented by photography, which seemed to devalue the artist's skill in reproducing reality. Both portrait and landscape paintings were deemed somewhat deficient and lacking in truth as photography 'produced lifelike images much more efficiently and reliably'.
The main Impressionists are :
- Frédéric Bazille (who only posthumously participated in the Impressionist exhibitions) (1841““1870)
- Gustave Caillebotte (who, younger than the others, joined forces with them in the mid-1870s) (1848““1894)
- Mary Cassatt (American-born, she lived in Paris and participated in four Impressionist exhibitions) (1844““1926)
- Paul Cézanne (although he later broke away from the Impressionists) (1839““1906)
- Edgar Degas (who despised the term Impressionist) (1834““1917)
