Impressionism

Definition of Impressionism as it relates to Art, Art Museums

Impressionism is an art movement that originated in France in the late 19th century, characterized by small, thin yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles. Impressionist paintings are often vibrant and colorful, capturing the fleeting moments and transient effects of light. This art form can be found in various art museums around the world, where visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty and emotion of this revolutionary movement.
