16 Exhibition on Screen Exhibition on Screen - The Impressionists – And the Man Who Made Them 2015, Run Time 97 minutes An eagerly anticipated exhibition travelling from the Musee d'Orsay Paris to the National Gallery London and on to the Philadelphia Museum of Art is the focus of the most comprehensive film ever made about the Impressionists.

  • Class 3: the Impressionist Revolution
    Class 3: The Impressionist Revolution A. Who were they? 1. Title Slide 1 (Renoir: The Skiff) 2. Revolution/Legacy Last week was most about poetry. Today, will be almost all about painting. I had originally announced it as “The Impressionist Legacy,” with the idea that I was take the actual painters—Monet, Renoir, and the like—for granted and spend the whole class on their legacy. But the more I worked, the more I saw that the changes that made modernism possible all occurred in the work of the Impressionists themselves. So I have changed the title to “The Impressionist Revolution,” and have tweaked the syllabus to add a class next week that will give the legacy the time it needs. 3. Monet: Impression, Sunrise (1872, Paris, Musée Marmottan) So who were the Impressionists? The name is the easy part. At the first group exhibition in 1874, Claude Monet (1840–1926) showed a painting of the port in his home town of Rouen, and called it Impression, Sunrise. A hostile critic seized on the title as an instrument of ridicule. But his quip backfired; within two years, the artists were using the name Impressionistes to advertise their shows. 4. Chart 1: artists before the first Exhibition 5. Chart 2: exhibition participation There were eight group exhibitions in all: in 1874, 1876, 1877, 1879, 1880, 1881, 1882, and 1886. So one answer to the question “Who were the Impressionists?” would be “Anyone who participated in one or more of their shows.” Here are seven who did, with a thumbnail of their earlier work, plus two who didn’t.

  • Claude Monet (1840-1926)
    Caroline Mc Corriston Claude Monet (1840-1926) ● Monet was the leading figure of the impressionist group. ● As a teenager in Normandy he was brought to paint outdoors by the talented painter Eugéne Boudin. Boudin taught him how to use oil paints. ● Monet was constantly in financial difficulty. His paintings were rejected by the Salon and critics attacked his work. ● Monet went to Paris in 1859. He befriended the artists Cézanne and Pissarro at the Academie Suisse. (an open studio were models were supplied to draw from and artists paid a small fee).He also met Courbet and Manet who both encouraged him. ● He studied briefly in the teaching studio of the academic history painter Charles Gleyre. Here he met Renoir and Sisley and painted with them near Barbizon. ● Every evening after leaving their studies, the students went to the Cafe Guerbois, where they met other young artists like Cezanne and Degas and engaged in lively discussions on art. ● Monet liked Japanese woodblock prints and was influenced by their strong colours. He built a Japanese bridge at his home in Giverny. Monet and Impressionism ● In the late 1860s Monet and Renoir painted together along the Seine at Argenteuil and established what became known as the Impressionist style. ● Monet valued spontaneity in painting and rejected the academic Salon painters’ strict formulae for shading, geometrically balanced compositions and linear perspective. ● Monet remained true to the impressionist style but went beyond its focus on plein air painting and in the 1890s began to finish most of his work in the studio. Personal Style and Technique ● Use of pure primary colours (straight from the tube) where possible ● Avoidance of black ● Addition of unexpected touches of primary colours to shadows ● Capturing the effect of sunlight ● Loose brushstrokes Subject Matter ● Monet painted simple outdoor scenes in the city, along the coast, on the banks of the Seine and in the countryside.

  • Baudelaire and the Rival of Nature: the Conflict Between Art and Nature in French Landscape Painting
    BAUDELAIRE AND THE RIVAL OF NATURE: THE CONFLICT BETWEEN ART AND NATURE IN FRENCH LANDSCAPE PAINTING _______________________________________________________________ A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _______________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS _______________________________________________________________ By Juliette Pegram January 2012 _______________________ Dr. Therese Dolan, Thesis Advisor, Department of Art History Tyler School of Art, Temple University ABSTRACT The rise of landscape painting as a dominant genre in nineteenth century France was closely tied to the ongoing debate between Art and Nature. This conflict permeates the writings of poet and art critic Charles Baudelaire. While Baudelaire scholarship has maintained the idea of the poet as a strict anti-naturalist and proponent of the artificial, this paper offers a revision of Baudelaire‟s relation to nature through a close reading across his critical and poetic texts. The Salon reviews of 1845, 1846 and 1859, as well as Baudelaire‟s Journaux Intimes, Les Paradis Artificiels and two poems that deal directly with the subject of landscape, are examined. The aim of this essay is to provoke new insights into the poet‟s complex attitudes toward nature and the art of landscape painting in France during the middle years of the nineteenth century. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to Dr. Therese Dolan for guiding me back to the subject and writings of Charles Baudelaire. Her patience and words of encouragement about the writing process were invaluable, and I am fortunate to have had the opportunity for such a wonderful writer to edit and review my work. I would like to thank Dr.

Evidence on the Impressionists at the end of the Paris Salon Federico Etro *, Silvia Marchesi, Elena Stepanova University of Florence, University of Milan Bicocca and St. Anna School of Advanced Studies-Pisa, Italy ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT JEL classification: We analyze the art market in Paris between the government-controlled Salon and the post-1880 C23 system, when the Republican government liberalized art exhibitions. The jury of the old Salon Z11 decided on submissions with a bias in favor of conservative art of the academic insiders, erecting Keywords: entry barriers against outsiders as the Impressionists. With a difference-in difference estimation, Art market we provide evidence that the end of the government-controlled Salon contributed to start the price Liberalization increase of the Impressionists relative to the insiders. Market structure Insider-outsider Hedonic regressions Impressionism 1. Introduction For more than two centuries the Paris Salon organized the art exhibition where French artists selected by an official jury could display their works. Such a system controlled by the on-going regime ended with the liberalization of 1880, which started the creation of a variety of privately organized salons. The artistic innovations of Impressionist painters, such as Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Edgar Degas, Paul Cezanne as well as Edouard Manet, had been marginalized in the government- controlled Salon and in the Paris art market, which were dominated by more traditional Academic artists.

  • Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting
    FIRST COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF RENOIR’S FULL-LENGTH CANVASES BRINGS TOGETHER ICONIC WORKS FROM EUROPE AND THE U.S. FOR AN EXCLUSIVE NEW YORK CITY EXHIBITION RENOIR, IMPRESSIONISM, AND FULL-LENGTH PAINTING February 7 through May 13, 2012 This winter and spring The Frick Collection presents an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist’s engagement with the full-length format. Its use was associated with the official Paris Salon from the mid-1870s to mid- 1880s, the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by Renoir’s La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Frick’s permanent collection. Intended for public display, the vertical grand-scale canvases in the exhibition are among the artist’s most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. The show and accompanying catalogue draw on contemporary criticism, literature, and archival documents to explore the motivation behind Renoir’s full-length figure paintings as well as their reception by critics, peers, and the public. Recently-undertaken technical studies of the canvases will also shed new light on the artist’s working methods. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne from Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), Dance at Bougival, 1883, oil on canvas, 71 5/8 x 38 5/8 inches, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Picture Fund; photo: © 2012 Museum the National Museum Wales, Cardiff; The Umbrellas (Les Parapluies) from The of Fine Arts, Boston National Gallery, London (first time since 1886 on view in the United States); and Dance in the City and Dance in the Country from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

Seitz Museumof MotfwnArt ARCHIVE Claude Monet was the purest and most characteristic master of Impressionism. The fundamental principle of his art was a new, wholly perceptual observation of the most fleeting aspects of nature — of moving clouds and water, sun and shadow, rain and snow, mist and fog, dawn and sunset. Over a period of almost seventy years, from the late 1850s to his death in 1926, Monet must have pro duced close to 3,000 paintings, the vast majority of which were landscapes, seascapes, and river scenes. As his involvement with nature became more com plete, he turned from general representations of season and light to paint more specific, momentary, and transitory effects of weather and atmosphere. Late in the seventies he began to repeat his subjects at different seasons of the year or moments of the day, and in the nineties this became a regular procedure that resulted in his well-known "series " — Haystacks, Poplars, Cathedrals, Views of the Thames, Water ERRATA Lilies, etc.

Find out why the Impressionists were considered so shocking and how they have influenced art over a hundred years later. Explore the art of Monet, Renoir, Degas, and more! Grade Level: Adult, College, Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12 Collection: European Art, Impressionism Culture/Region: Europe Subject Area: Fine Arts, History and Social Science, Visual Arts Activity Type: Art in Depth THE SHOCKING NEW ART MOVEMENT The word “impressionism” makes most people think of beautiful, sunlit paintings of the French countryside; glorious gardens and lily ponds; and fashionable Parisians enjoying life in charming cafes. But in 1874, when the men and women who came to be known as the Impressionists first exhibited their work, their style of painting was considered shocking and outrageous by all but the most forward-thinking viewers. Why did these young artists cause such an uproar? The following comparison shows how their radical ideas, techniques, and subjects broke the time-honored rules and traditions of art in late 19th-century France. “What do we see in the work of these men? Nothing but defiance, almost an insult to the tastes and intelligence of the public.” -Etienne Carjat, “L’exposition du bouldevard des Capucines,” Le Patriote Francais (1874) “There is little doubt that Impressionist landscape paintings are the most…appreciated works of art ever produced.” –Richard Brettell and Scott Schaefer, A Day in the Country: Impressionism and the French Landscape The accepted style of painting often featured: Great historical subjects or mythological scenes that were meant to be morally uplifting; An emphasis on line, filled in with color; Smooth, almost invisible brushstrokes; Paintings primarily done in the artist’s studio The Judgment of Paris François-Xavier Fabre, 1808 Oil on canvass Adolph D.
