Impressionism

Impressionism: The history of modern art begins with Impressionism, a late 19th Century movement focusing on the natural effects of light at a given moment. The impressionist artists developed a technique of juxtaposing short brushstrokes of vibrant, opposing color to be optically mixed by the viewer, creating an impression of movement on the surface. Edouard Manet is known as the Father of Impressionism. The raw execution and brazen subject of his painting titled Dejeuner sur L’herbe caused a commotion and influenced the Impressionist artists Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir's Dance at the Moulin de la Galette and Edgar Degas' Ecole de danse even though he did not formally exhibit with them in the Salon.
