![]() This painting became the source of the movement's name after Louis Leroy's 1874 article, " The Exhibition of the Impressionists", satirically implied that the painting was, at most, a sketch. Impression, Sunrise, an 1872 Claude Monet oil on canvas painting now housed at Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris. For other uses, see Impressionism (disambiguation). 2014.This article is about the art movement. Here is a picture of the Seabird in front of my Grandparent’s house in Auke Bay, Alaska. To wrap things up I just had to add a picture of my Grandfather’s sailboat, the Seabird. That is why it is good to understand the many styles of artwork. There will always be artist’s changing to create new styles, but they will be growing from something in the past. It looks like a storm is coming on from the left of the painting with the darker colors and blues that he uses in the sky and water.įrom Romanticism, Impressionism, to the here and now there is always something to contrast, but I think that comparing artwork is a great way to understand how it has evolved through the years. I love the way Afremov colored the sails to show the sunlight shining through them. ![]() Also because there looks like there are people in the boat, but they don’t have much detail to them. I chose this painting because it reminds me of Impressionism from the bold blended colors to the strong fascination to capture a fleeting moment this piece of art is one to behold. Afremov created Sailing, which is oil on canvas, circa 2011. ![]() His work is very distinctive with the incredible colors that he uses and gentle style. He uses a very creative style when creating art, he doesn’t use paint brushes – he uses a palette-knife. Leonid Afremov (born 1955 – ) is an up and coming artist from Belarus. Now let’s jump ahead to the here and now. To me this painting is very comparable to Monet’s Impression, Sunrise because the bright and dark colors offset each other within the paintings. I think that Turner was trying to make the viewer feel the sense of the approach of the sailboat by creating this hole. It almost feels like there is a hole in the painting and everything in the picture is being pulled to the center. It is similar to the Impressionism style because of the blended bright colors, as if it is a transitory moment. If you look closer it is more refined and there aren’t dabs of colors and sketchy loose brush strokes as you would see in the Impression style. At first glance you may mistake this as an Impressionism piece of artwork, but it is not. ![]() His piece, Yacht Approaching the Coast, was painted circa 1840-1845, oil on canvas. Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) was a famous Romantic artist. Before the Impressionist’s there were the Romantic’s and they strived to elicit emotions and feelings within their art. There are many styles to compare to Impressionism, but I am going to compare it to Romanticism. It seems only fitting to use these stunning depictions of sailboats here. I remember early mornings with the sun coming up over the mountains with the misty ocean breeze bringing the sting of salt water in the air. The sailboats especially caught my attention because my Grandfather owns a sailboat and he used to take us on weeklong sail boating trips in the summer time it was always something my siblings and I looked forward to. This caught my attention right away because I grew up in Juneau, Alaska and throughout my childhood I spent a lot of time on boats and the water. I feel like this is exactly what Claude Monet meant in his quote about not being able to grasp Nature- she is always growing and changing to the next moment and that is exactly what Impressionist’s tried to grasp within their paintings.Īs I was researching Impressionist painters and their artwork I couldn’t help but to notice that there were many paintings of sailboats and the ocean. Impressionism is very beautiful to me because when I look at these paintings I feel in the moment with them almost like the picture is within a transitory moment, as if it is moving. The characteristics of Impressionism include sketchy loose brush strokes and lines with an emphasis on true depictions of light in its changing abilities. Impressionist’s painters work to create a fleeting moment, an impression, within their artwork. That is a quote by Claude Monet and it gives a perfect example of what the Impressionism style is all about. “I am following Nature without being able to grasp her.”
