Impressionism
is a style of painting that originated in France about 1870. Paintings of
casual contemporary subjects were executed outdoors using divided brush- strokes
to capture the light and mood of a particular moment and the transitory effects
of natural light and color. Impressionism art focused more on what the eyes see
rather than what the mind knows, according to the lecture Harmon Intro Impressionism
Post Impressionism. Certain impressionism art had something called open form or
“cropping the image” which is a form whose exterior is irregular or broken,
having a sense of growth, change or unresolved tension; from in a state of
becoming or reaching out.
This piece of impressionism artwork is
called Melody of the Night by Leonid Afremov.
Post-Impressionist believe in a free
interpretation of nature, not to see things but to see through them to a
significance in reality deeper than what superficial appearance gave according to
the lecture. This period developed from about 1885 to 1900 in reaction to what
these artists saw as the somewhat formless and aloof quality of Impressionist
painting. This is also art created by French artists. These artists were
considered “Beings of extraordinary insight, mysterious, visionary and fantastic.
Post-impressionist used paint while other artist were using pencil, sketch,
painting quickly and with a lot of rhythm.
This piece of Post-Impressionism art is
called Starry Fright by Vincent Van Gogh.
Hi Jamilla- good- I see you understand the styles, but this painting is not the original Van Gogh painting, but some interpretation copy- you need to be careful on Google image...
ReplyDeleteStill, a cool interpretation of Starry Night. I found it on Instructables.com, a 10-step How To create this on Sketchbook Pro. The last step shows a video that captures Ms. Thrifty's process every 5 seconds.
