A Guide to Impressionism
A Guide to Impressionism Learn about the history and artistic style of the Impressionists in this teacher’s resource. 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.

Immersion Into Noise
Immersion Into Noise Critical Climate Change Series Editors: Tom Cohen and Claire Colbrook The era of climate change involves the mutation of systems beyond 20th century anthropomorphic models and has stood, until recent- ly, outside representation or address. Understood in a broad and critical sense, climate change concerns material agencies that im- pact on biomass and energy, erased borders and microbial inven- tion, geological and nanographic time, and extinction events. The possibility of extinction has always been a latent figure in textual production and archives; but the current sense of depletion, decay, mutation and exhaustion calls for new modes of address, new styles of publishing and authoring, and new formats and speeds of distri- bution. As the pressures and re-alignments of this re-arrangement occur, so must the critical languages and conceptual templates, po- litical premises and definitions of ‘life.’ There is a particular need to publish in timely fashion experimental monographs that redefine the boundaries of disciplinary fields, rhetorical invasions, the in- terface of conceptual and scientific languages, and geomorphic and geopolitical interventions. Critical Climate Change is oriented, in this general manner, toward the epistemo-political mutations that correspond to the temporalities of terrestrial mutation.

FRENCH IMPRESSIONISM and JEWISH PATRONAGE Veronica
LONGING AND BELONGING: FRENCH IMPRESSIONISM AND JEWISH PATRONAGE Veronica Grodzinski Financial Times journalist Rebecca Rose quoted Melanie Clore on the sale of Impressionists at Sotheby’s in London on June 2006: The Impressionist and modern art ﬁ eld is still a growth area and new money is being funneled directly into it. Artists like van Gogh, Monet, Cézanne, Matisse, Degas, Modigliani and Chagall are considered the ‘blue-chip brigade’, which command the highest prices and biggest international interest. Equally, the blue chip brigade is owned, sold and bought by only a handful of the world’s wealthiest buyers and collectors that form an exclusive club of some 20 patrons worldwide.1 Melanie Clore is the [ Jewish, by co-incidence] Deputy Chairman of Sotheby’s Europe Division and the Chairman of the Impressionist and Modern art market worldwide and thus one of the most knowledge- able voices on the subject. Clore’s assessment of twenty Impressionist clients worldwide is most surprising when compared to the number of early Jewish patrons in Republican France and Imperial Germany. What is remarkable is that a small circle of Jewish patrons were vision- aries as far back as a century ago and that the Impressionists circle has not widened since its early patronage around 1900. Why did a ‘small exclusive club’—to use Clore’s terminology—of some twenty-two German Jews collect French avant-garde Art at a time when most European collectors shunned it? Why did a circle of German Jewish patrons “collect against the grain” at a time when the majority of German Jews wanted to assimilate and integrate into majority society? However, their enthusiasm for French Impression- ism resulted in the astonishing fact that of all French modernist art collectors in Wilhelmine Germany, 85% were Germans Jews.

Sisley : « Barrage de la http://www.tourisme-bougival.com/ Machine de Marly » Le mouvement Impressionniste Entre 1820 et 1850, la peinture française connut un renouveau artistique avec la révolution romantique (Géricault, Delacroix), puis la révolution réaliste (Courbet, Millet) et naturaliste des peintres de l’école de Barbizon (Daubigny, Rousseau, Corot). L’avènement du Second Empire (1852 – 1870) marqua une rupture, entre d’un côté un art officiel et de l’autre un art indépendant qui déteste les peintures historiques ou mythologiques des peintres académiques. Une nouvelle peinture, qui prendra le nom d’Impressionnisme en 1874, voit le jour en France, entre 1860 et 1890. Elle privilégie la vision par rapport à tout schéma conventionnel appris, les impressions fugitives et la mobilité des phénomènes. Les Impressionnistes vont renouveler profondément les thèmes de la peinture, pour rendre compte du monde contemporain. De nombreux peintres Impressionnistes ont séjourné entre Carrières-sur-Seine et Le Pecq. Cet itinéraire est jalonné de reproductions de tableaux, situés à l’endroit où ils ont été peints.

Claude Monet
Claude Monet Claude Monet was born in Paris on 15th November 1840. He loved to draw from a very young age and was even able to make a small amount of money by drawing pictures of people. Monet studied at an art school when he turned 11. Over the next few years, he met other artists who taught him how to use oil paints. Monet’s mother supported him becoming an artist, but his father (a greengrocer) did not. He wanted him to take over the family business instead. Sadly, Monet’s mother died in 1857. Claude moved to Paris to study at the Academie Suisse but shortly after was drafted into the army. Whilst in the army, Monet developed typhoid fever and returned home a few years later. When Monet met Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley, they began experimenting by working outside and painting the effects of light. This was the beginning of an art movement called ‘Impressionism’. Impressionist artists tried to create a feeling or experience in their art rather than a realistic painting of a scene. The word ‘impressionism’ comes from Monet’s painting ‘Impression: Sunrise’ which was a great example of this new style of painting. Claude Monet Monet continued to perfect his work and used a wide range of colours and brushstrokes. His paintings started to become popular and people began to buy them. To continue to experiment with light, Monet painted a series of the same scenes at different times of day and in different types of weather. Once such scene was a pond at his home in Giverny.

Impressionism
IMPRESSIONISM Eugène Boudin (1824 – 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Boudin was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. His pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "king of the skies.” He opened a small picture framing shop in Le Havre and exhibited artists working in the area, such as Jean-François Millet, and Thomas Couture who encouraged young Boudin to follow an artistic career. Boudin, The Beach at Villerville 1864 In 1857/58 Boudin befriended the young Claude Monet, then only 18, and persuaded him to give up his teenage caricature drawings and to become a landscape painter, instilling in the younger painter a love of bright hues and the play of light on water later evident in Monet's Impressionist paintings. They remained lifelong friends and Boudin joined Monet and his young friends in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1873. Boudin, Sailboats at Trouville 1884 Johan Jongkind (1819 – 1891) was a Dutch painter and printmaker. He painted marine landscapes in a free manner and is regarded as a forerunner of Impressionism, introducing the painting of genre scenes from the tradition of the Dutch Golden Age. From 1846 he moved to Paris, to further his studies. Two years later, he had work accepted for the Paris Salon, receiving acclaim from critic Charles Baudelaire and later on from Émile Zola. Returning to Rotterdam in1865 he moved back to Paris in1861, where he rented a studio Jongkind, in Montparnasse, the following year meeting in View from the Quai d'Orsay 1854 Honfleur Sisley, Boudin and the young Monet.

Freitagnachmittag. Anna und Paul stehen an der Bushaltestelle. »Schau mal!«, ruft Anna und weist ihren Freund auf ein großes Plakat hin. »Was soll das sein? Werbung für Waschmittel?«, fragt Paul. »Genau dorthin werde ich jetzt fahren, meine Tante besuchen! Sie meint, dass es ungeheuer spannend ist, herauszuﬁ nden, wie das Licht auf die Leinwand kam«, freut sich Anna und studiert den Fahrplan. »Der nächste Bus kommt in zwei Minuten. Willst du nicht mitkommen?« »Um herauszuﬁ nden, wie das Licht auf die Leinwand kam? Wieso Licht, ich dachte, auf Leinwänden malt man mit Farben? Und außerdem hat die Ausstellung doch noch gar nicht begon- nen!«, antwortet Paul. Anna weiß es besser: »Eben! Ich sage ja auch, dass meine Tante noch dabei ist zu forschen! Sie hat noch gar nicht alle Rätsel gelöst. Bis die Ausstellung los geht, muss sie Bescheid wissen! Deshalb hat sie jetzt ganz schön viel zu tun!« »Und was für Rätsel soll es da geben?« Paul kann sich gar nicht vorstellen, was Annas Tante den ganzen Tag im Museum macht. »Komm mit!«, schlägt Anna vor, »dann kannst du in einer Restaurierungswerkstatt echte Bilder von großen Künstlern mal unter dem Mikroskop anschauen!« Obwohl Paul nicht wirklich überzeugt ist, dass das spannend sein soll, trottet er Anna hinter- her.
