Impressionism was the late 19th-century art movement that sought to capture a fleeting moment, thereby conveying the elusiveness and impermanence of images and conditions (Kleiner, 2013, p. 1087). In late 1841 and the beginning 1843, the invention of paint in metal tubes was invented. This allowed the artists to transport the paints and paint out in the outdoors and paint instead of being shut off in the studio (Sayre, 2011, p. 1020). The three painter of this era that is essential to understanding this period is Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and James Whistler.…
The Modern Art Movement evolved around the turn of the late 1800’s through the turn of the 20th century, to the late 1900’s. Visual Art in Western society moved from naturalism to abstraction during this time, and emphasis was placed on the Design Elements and Principles rather than representation. Modern Art was influenced by the invention of Photography as it freed artists from the constraints of realism.…
This is a study and investigation in how an artist and their technique are viewed as non-conformist by the standards of their contemporaries and pioneers by future generations and how the reactions of the work changed art for the better or worse through their differing methods, going against the standard of their time created something new and over spilled into the next movement between the years of 1860 to current day. I want to see if art progression is a thing that needed to happen in such a radical way or if simply being exceptionally good at your craft was enough.…
Impressionism influenced the emergence of Postimpressionism which was similar to its predecessor still being of everyday outdoor scenes and artists expressed themselves freely in the art. (Sporre, 2009) However, artists of this period completely rejected the objective naturalism using color and form in more personal ways expressing a person view of the visual world. (Impressionism, 2000) Post-Impressionist artists deviated from Impressism due to the fact they did not care if the work was a visual experience as Edouard Manet did, they merely expressed themselves through the use of bright colors. One of the more famous artists of this period was Vincent van Gogh who may have been one of the most…

7. Post-Impressionist paintings were a broad reaction against Impressionism. The works continued to use the bright Impressionist palette, but rejected the Impressionism’s emphasis on the spontaneous recording of light and color. Post-Impressionists sought to create art with a greater degree of formal order and structure. The new styles they created, Georges Seurat’s divisionist technique and Vincent van Gogh’s…
During the 19th and 20th century the conflicts surrounding the United States transformed the U.S into a world power with ties to many different country and transformed the American society from their isolationist outlook to an imperialist and nationalist outlook while acting out of their own interest. In an excerpt from Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, in 1904, it states, word for word that “we have acted in our own interest as well as in the interest of humanity at large”. The phrase shows how America has changed from before the Spanish-American war in which America liberated Cuba, the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The phrase shows that they are starting to get involved in conflicts, and they are starting to rise and become…
Realism first became known in 18th century France after the Revolution, denying the romantic predecessors and focusing more on direct observation of everyday life. Realisms use of ordinary people and places, making things fine art that ought to not be seen and inadvertently coinciding with socialist agendas and working-class uprising made it a quick target of adverse reactions (Finocchio, 2000).…
The period between 1890 and 1910 marked the movement of Art Nouveau, the French phrase for (“new art”). The period is most well-known as a rebellion against 19th century academic art in which artists began seeking inspiration from natural forms and structures. It can only be assumed which artist led this movement. Eventually, modernist styles like Art Deco replaced Art Nouveau during the Roaring 20’s, but Art Nouveau is considered an important transition from historical snooze-fests to eye-capturing works made then and today. 1897 marked the formation of the Vienna Secession. It was composed of a group of Austrian artists, of course, who “objected to the prevailing conservatism of the Vienna Künstlerhaus with its traditional orientation toward…
Of course, Industrialization in the 19th and 20th century obviously played a key role in changing the all of the arts. Starting with a variety of modernism, anti-traditionalism.

Art and Literature in the Roaring 20s Have you ever seen how beautiful the art made in the 1920’s were? Many paintings and music created during this time were brand new to the world, and people adored them. They also loved the people who created these artistic masterpieces. Some of the artists that were around in this time could be described as mavericks, or unorthodox. Especially the artists that were minorities, because during the 1920s, minorities were facing a lot of racial tension, and the artistic ones from this time period got it even worse, for doing something that they loved to do.…
Impressionists aim was to capture the immediate effect of the scene to the attention of the seer. This style referred to as representational art because it did not necessarily portray a realistic depiction despite it dealing with real life scenes. Moreover, science in the 19th century began to discover that the human eye perception and understanding in the person’s brain were two very different things. These artists then capitalized in this discovery and chose to capture the impact of a scene as seen by the…
During the Renaissance, there were many changes in society. One of these changes was the rise of art and artists. Wealthy people would pay artists a lot of money for certain works of art to be commissioned. This led to the creation of several classic works of art, such as The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci. This also led to The Thinker and the painting of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo.…
