When you think of art in the 1800s you might imagine grand historical subjects, mythological scenes, and traditional themes, lots of them! Well, that’s what art used to be before impressionists changed the course of it forever!
Why is Impressionism considered such an important art movement? What was so groundbreaking about it? Why do we think of impressionists as the pioneers of modern art? Many questions but we’ve got the answers, so let’s get into it!

I love how the artists knew each other and made paintings about their lives. You have paintings of Berthe Morisot by her husband Édoard Manet and you have paintings of their daugher Julie by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

It must have been such a shock at the time !! And yet they brought painting to modernism forgetting religious and mythical themes that they no longer wanted .....1874 was a turning point and art was no longer the same for the artists .Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt can t be forgotten either. I do admire and appreciate their works. So talented , so modern even if they painted domestic subjects . Thanks to them all.

The impressionists themselves were okay, but they set in motion the trends that led art to the dire state it's in today. Being influential isn't necessarily a good thing.

While once prowling around the Louvre I noticed many huge canvases of the traditional Salon style that are still hung there, by long forgotten artists I never heard of. The square yardage was immense of the space they took up. Very stiff, mythological or historic or just obscure subject matter. Then I turned a corner, and there were the Impressionists’ works and what a breath of fresh air! That contrast between them was like between the living and the long dead, and no wonder the Impressionists are still so well loved today!

Renoir's _Luncheon of the Boating Party_ is a favorite of mine because it shows people of different classes enjoying a long leisurely lunch on the Seine. Leisure time was a new thing & it was being painted by the Impressionists. ^Great video here!^

As an art historian who was hired to write the AP Art History curriculum for all of New York State, I am flabbergasted that Edward Hopper's "Sunday Morning" from 1930 was shown as an example of Impressionism, a 19th century French art movement!!!!! 😡😡I could see if Hopper's inclusion was to support the video's aim: "Impressionism in 8 Minutes; How it Changed The Course of Art".

First of all, congrants on the amazing channel you've created. Thanks for such a curated and affordable content. Where I come from, the most beloved impressionist painter is Joaquin Sorolla, a master with colour and light, but I can't lie to myself or any other person . Although I really enjoy almost every painter I must say that Gustave Caillebotte is a brilliant artist, the piece that stroke me the most is "Les raboteurs de parquet" (The floor planers, 1875). I'd really love to watch a video on Expressionism or Fauvism. Thanks again for all the effort you're putting on this amazing content! Cheers!

Knowing that you get monetisation from watching the adverts all the way thru, I did that to so you get money to produce more of these bite sized docos. Will you be doing architects? I’d love to have Goudi (Barcelona cathedral architect). I’d also be interested to see individual impressionists covered in partic Monet, his series eg the haystacks, and the myriad of lily pad paintings. Renoir and cezanne would also be favourites I’d love to see covered. In the movements before Impressionism I’d love to understand why portraiture was seen as less of an art to historical paintings, and landscapes the lowest form. I know there will be more suggestions I could make but it’s time to make dinner! 😀 I shall have a wonderful time binge watching what you have already done. You have a dedicated new fan here!

I was very much drawn to Impressionism in my youth, but the older I became, the more I gravitated back to the art of the ancients. I love Greek art especially. I love the Minoans. I still love art from other eras, e.g. I love Van Gogh and Jackson Pollock, but Impressionism has little appeal to me overall in my declining years.

I started collecting paintings last year. I am about to buy to second. I don’t know why I’m drawn to impressionistic styles. I guess it’s the vibrant colors anf the depictions of nature. Or, perhaps, it’s how light is presented and how it enables effects of reflection on nature (like water). But figured I’d start learning about what I’ve been buying. Great information :)

@user-up2hh6ny5s Жыл бұрын

Impressionist works were how I initially became drawn to Western paintings. 😍 Yeah, it seems that Monet was more interested in how to capture the passage of time around the sunlit Rouen Cathedral with varying light conditions rather than depicting the church itself. Monet’s bright and relaxing works always bring me happiness. Pissaro's paintings have a similar effect on me. His tranquil pastoral scenes are literally so picturesque and have such a soothing effect that I would say that he himself may have been an artist with a heart of gold, someone who might embrace everything.🤩 The soothing qualities of his paintings are self-explanatory. Meanwhile, I consider Van Gogh's paintings more inspiring, and think they have spiritually and emotionally more uplifting features, equipped with a sense of passion and vitality. All things taken together, Impressionist works are the very definition of art, I would say.🤔 Again, thanks for all the effort you put into it, Curious Muse!😁

@ovh992 2 жыл бұрын

Impressionism was more about the mood of a work of art rather than was what depicted. Many many artists painted domestic scenes - as can be seen in Roman mosaics to Vermeer. Impressionism was not about casual scenes but more about works of art showing the shadows of the day versus the spotlights of classical painting. The way sunlight created dappled effects on water and grass and flowers.

So much light, beauty and color exuded from that painting. I was spellbound. It brought tears to my eyes I was so very grateful to finally see it. The Art Institute of Chicago has a very nice section devoted to Impressionism. They also have a very nice Oriental section with Kimonos hanging in the air on display. Gorgeous.

This video is really helpful and interesting.. but I have a question if you don’t mind, Charles Baudelaire was the artist who invented the term modernity but he focused on traditional subject matter so how did he supported Impressionism even though the idea he invented is kind of the opposite of what Claude Monet and August Renoir did.. as modernity focused on subject matter and Impressionism focused less about subject matter
