IMPRESSIONISM
New change for art! Artists went against the system already in place by Louis XIV, they wanted to create new and more interesting paintings. The artists started painting outside and creating landscapes. Instead of painting perfect portraits of people, they decided to make this work different. This work was very shocking to the people of Paris.

MONET
Born in 1840 One of the most well-known French artists His work mostly focused on Paris in the modern world

IMPRESSIONS SUN RISE

Painting of the port of Le Havre in North Western France This painting is what gave the Impressionist movement its name Monet was not concerned with painting a very realistic scene, much different from what artists were doing at this time

BOULEVARD DES CAPUCINES

THE ORCHESTRA AT THE OPERA

The man who is the subject of the painting is a friend of Degas It was very modern at this time to go to the opera, Degas also was interested in painting modernity

DANCING CLASS
Degas wanted to humanize the dancers by not making them perfect, some of the dancers are even slouching Degas was a regular visitor in the Opera house (where this dance class took place) and even would go backstage Degas was interested in taking a snapshot of life, like a photograph, of subjects that are not posing

RENOIR
1841-1919 Was more interested in portraits than landscapes His subjects were also the modernity of Paris

MOULIN DE LA GALETTE
1876 Social gathering place on the outskirts of Paris Pockets of light showing from under the trees Blue is the dominating color, shows the nighttime View from about the crowd to see in the back People in the back are hardly represented

DIVISIONISM
Artists decided to reduce color and stroke to the simplest of element Mixed colors with different amounts of dots of the primary colors Instead of brushstrokes, they just used tiny dots to paint More scientific than impressionism Artists are supposed to follow the rules of color contrast

SEURAT
1859-1891 His painting was very calculated Showed more detail than impressionism Uses pure color, no mixing

LA GRANDE JATTE

FAUVISM
Colors in the wild Explosion of color

THE FACTORY OF RIO-TINTO
