Impressionism


Impressionism is created through colours and paint brush strokes to create the light, Impressionism is different to other paintings as the artists want to show their view of something rather than whats really there. You will also find that most impressionism artists paints are more like photography taken from a camera for example:
la promenade monet By Claude Monet
This painting looks as if Claude Monet bent down below the women and took a picture, the way the painting is in motion looks as if its a desistive moment photograph.
I got this image from: http://www.artquotes.net/masters/monet/la-promenade.htm

Another artist thats paintings look like images and to prove that impressionium is all about the painters perception on the object is "Gustave Caillebotte."


La place de l'europe By Guatave caillebotte.
This painting shows that Guatave caillebotte painted his own view of the object, however he could have just painted the surrowings leaving out the people.
The brush strokes and the way he showed light and reflection all comes together to make the painted more real.

Post impressionism


Post impressionism followed impressionism.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is a post impressionism painter he was one of the greatest of his time.
