IMPRESSIONISM

        Imressionism is an art movement which emerged in 19th century in France and it affected almost every branch of art.

        According to the impressionists, the art should be based on emotions and thoughts which arouse a feeling in the artist facing with a view, instead of transporting the view directly. Also the artist should give the interpretation a prominence by throwing reality out of focus. Therefore the artwork reflects the personality of  the artist.

        ITS BEGINING 

        

        Claude Monet starts the movement by exhibiting his painting in France. The paintings usher an era because all painters moves what they saw on the toile and it is the first revolutionary movement againist traditional painting however it did not gain admission in the begining. Even the word of 'impressionism' was  

in use to despise the movement.

                                    This painting is the first impressionist artwork which Monet 

                                 exhibited in the France in 1874. It is the impression of sunrise 

                                 in Le Havre (France)

                                                             --------

        

        The pioneers of the impressionism are Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley. Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camiile Pisarro and Paul Cezanne are the painters placing in this movement, either.

        Some example paintings;

           

                                         Paul Cezanne-House of the Hanged Man in Auvers 1873

                                  

                                         Monet-Poppies 1873

                                         Cezanne-A New Olimpia 1873-74

                                             Pisarro-The Boilevard Montmartre at Night 1897

  THE IMPRESSİONİSM ON OTHER LANDSCAPE

     There is no work of art about architecture as an impressionist point of view, but it can be mentioned about impressionist paintings of architectural structures at that time.

     The urban landscapes produced by the impressionists are perhaps the most perfect expressions of the interdependence of leisure and productivity because city views were hardly new in art, but in impressionism urban landscape emerged as a significant genre.

     In impressionism, suburban roads and city streets are themselves places of meaningful activity and they usually signified modernity to the 19th century viewer. In this paintings, like trains, roads suggest the freedom to travel and expand one's range. In focusing on manmade elements in landscape, impressionist paintings imply the extension of human control over nature through the creation of an infrastructure for transportation and commerce over and through it.

     In city views the specificity of the modern landscape was far more visible and recognizable to the public than in suburban or country scenes, so the former were even better vehicles for redefining landscape painting.

In number of impressionist paintings factories are the focal point. Pisarro was probably the first impressionist to represent a factory directly, as in his La Petite Fabrique and Landscape with factory. But Armand Guillaumin deserves a credit as the first to center attention on them in context of economic power and development, as in his relatively well-known Setting Sun at Ivry.
