The Origin Of Impressionist Prints

By Barbara Myers


Impressionism is an art that was fighting to be popular in the past centuries, but it became most popular during the 19th century. Impressionist prints were unique from the form of artistry that was accepted by most people. This is because it was very conspicuous and the paintings objectively and accurately recorded visual reality using transient effects such as lights and colors making this kind of art to be very popular today.

The drawings were so revolutionary as they differed from most of the classical or fantastical scenes. This is because of the use of this technique of broken brushstrokes to depict the real life that emphasized the overall impression of a place. They were mostly thought to have an unfinished look. This kind of artistic struggled to be popular.

In the old days, many paintings that captured impressionism were rejected in exhibitions by the artwork organizations. This made the rejected painters to from their exhibition centers to display their art that was very different from the classical standards of painting. However, the public did not readily accept them thus it was a big struggle for them.

Later, one artist created a painting which he called the impression which looked like an unfinished sketch. He started a movement called impressionism which was named after the painting. The public became hostile towards the movement, but later, some people started embracing the new methods that played only with modern scenes and light.

This moved to grow as more people started appreciating the art. Then, an association was formed that helped the artists to exhibit their works. During the first exhibition, 30 artists were present, and 165 paintings were showcased. The people who attended the exhibition were approximately 3,500, but there were some of a craftsmen started to leave the exhibitions and chose to paint the classically-accepted drawings. This was a big blow to the painters that remained but they decided not to give up, so they continued to attend the shows.

As years passed by, this form of art was now widely accepted by the public as it impressed so many people. In fact, this kind of art became so influential in such a way that it redefined the way people expressed themselves through art. This encouraged many more painters to come up and showcase their works without fear of ridicule from the public.

People were at first being shocked by this form of painting because of the use of bright colors because most were accustomed to the more sober colors used for art. More so, most of the impressionism painters chose not to use thick golden colors that the classical painters used to tone the drawings they made. Also, these painters preferred more vivid paints to make the pictures appear bright.

Usually, most impressionism paintings centered on modernity especially suburbs, but there are others that depicted the rural settings. Some of these artists focused on drawing the daily lives of a local villagers while others focused on landscapes such as railways as well as factories. Therefore, these paintings were a very vivid way of expressing the lives of people.
