In
its most original sense, "Impressionism" was the term used
to desribe the French painters of the 1870s, who departed from academic
practice and applied their pigment in bright strokes of color in order
to capture fleeting effects of light with a high degree of naturalism.
Today, it is used to describe a broad movement of artists who are
"painterly" and empasize naturalistic lighting in their
work. Many Impressionist artists work "alla prima," meaning
that they will work continuously on a painting without allowing the
paint to dry between sessions. Impressionist painters draw their inspiration
from the French Impressionists, the american Impressionist School
and artists like the Swede Anders Zorn or the Spanish painter Joaquin
Sorolla, who filtered the tenants of Impressionism through the prism
of their own experiences. |
