Impressionism

Definition of Impressionism as it relates to Art, Post-Impressionist

Impressionism is an art movement originating in France in the late 19th century, characterized by the use of light and color to capture the fleeting impressions of the world around us. It emphasizes the artist's immediate impression of a scene, rather than detailed, realistic depictions. Post-impressionism emerged as a reaction to impressionism, with artists experimenting with new techniques such as pointillism and symbolism to express their emotions and ideas more vividly. Both impressionism and post-impressionism represent a departure from traditional artistic practices, embracing a more modern and subjective approach to art.
