День тому

Impressionism is one of the best known and loved movements in Art History, but why? We present a case for why Impressionism is interesting and worth your attention and admiration, beyond the famous names behind it of Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Mary Cassatt, Alfred Sisley, Camille Pissaro, Gustave Caillebotte, Paul Cézanne, et al.

I love that Renoir's retort to criticism that he only painted "pretty" paintings basically boiled down to "So? What's wrong with that?"

Wow that's great! Can you please share the exact quote with us? It's so applicable today to people who look down on those of us who enjoy "aesthetic" pictures because they think "real art" has to make you feel something unpleasant or uncomfortable. I love pretty things :)

Looking at an impressionist painting is like looking at a dream. You brought up something that somehow never occurred to me: that these artists were depicting contemporary life. It all looks old to us here in 2019, but back then it must have seemed startling to see 'new' stuff when paintings were generally about ancient history or biblical stories.

Can you imagine those stuffed shirt art critics in New York who raved about bananas taped to the wall as art and it's symbolism having some dude who paints McDonald's workers in an anime/manga style trying to get an exhibition? It's the same kind of horrified "this is NOT art!" response impressionists like Monet, Manet, and Van Gogh probably experienced. The number of times I've heard of art professors looking down their noses at illustrations, comics, and anime/manga and declaring it to be commercial garbage and not art can't be counted.

I think we artists that are still in the way of this style need to once again make it important by WHAT we paint rather than how it is painted. There is some truth in this section than is right on the money of where impressionist art should go in 2020.
@RivkahSong
@RivkahSong 4 роки тому
@@T1tusCr0w I would argue that there's already a new direction in impressionism, it's just not in oils. In the watercolor community there's something called urban sketching where we go out and capture life as it's happening at that moment. Cars, animals, people, the minutiae of life it's all captured quickly with an emphasis on mood rather than exact detail. It reminds me a lot of the original impressionists.

"But the best case for Impressionism is the art itself. In a museum filled with the dark and dramatic art that preceded it, and the often confounding art that follows, Impressionism is really... pleasant." The whole video was great but this comment in particular resonates - I like to collect postcards of art pieces that I have enjoyed or that I particularly remember from museums, and have discovered that those I have put on my wall are principally impressionist, and this is perhaps why. The whole idea of capturing the ephemeral in a way that highlights beauty in very simple things - living in a space surrounded by art like that is pleasant indeed.

I adore impressionism. There's just something so amazing about how it doesn't try to be "great art" or be fit for a king but instead just wants to be pretty, emotional, or both and capture everyday people doing everyday things in an everyday world. Van Gogh's simple fields that are a riot of movement and color are a particular favorite of mine.

I like the content, but the rhythm of the presentation is WAY TOO FAST. The images stay on the screen between 2 to 5 seconds, which is way too little time to take in the visual information of the painting, AND read the title and the name of the painter written at the bottom, AND listen to the presenter, who seems to be rushing somewhere. Where is she rushing to? I have no idea, but it seems she wants to be over with this asap because she's got more important things to do elsewhere. Seriously now, please slow down to a more humane rhythm next time, which would be more conducive to the natural absorption and processing of information. Understanding art is not about digesting large amounts of data at light speed. It's about letting the info sink in, having a little space to think about it, going deeper not faster. Thanks.

I know this might sound brusque, but impressionist paintings I like very much because they look like the world I see without glasses. A reminder that everything that looks clearly delineated and controlled is and can never truly be so. I take comfort in this fact that the ship of Theseus never really existed until Theseus bought it and never really got replaced until we thought it might. I hope this makes sense to someone plus me instead of someone including me. xD

@princessspacetime1763
@princessspacetime1763 4 роки тому
This makes perfect sense. I'm a trained painter and a technique is used to slightly cross the eyes to focus on the general composition of what you're going to depict so you don't get lost in details. I.e. you can see the areas of light vs. dark and general colour schemes more easily. If you were glasses, of course you could just take them off for this effect.

This weirdly reminds me of the Oscars, in that they're supposed to reward great art in cinema, and yet pick contestants based on arbitrary criteria such as Oscar bait.

Hopefully, y'all see this relatively late comment. I'm thankful for what you're doing here. I have a great appreciation for art and design (and am a photographer) but I was always wary of painting for the seemingly high-minded attitudes my art teachers packaged it with when I was young. Despite being someone who frequently studies things from a multitude of subjects for fun this caused me to, sadly, avoid studying the classic painters. Your channel has fully inspired me to dive into what was, to me, a lost category of art. You've given me a new sense of ownership and appreciation over it. Not only do I want to go spend a fortune on art books but it's already inspired me in my photography. All this to say: Thank you. I'm sure you've had a similar impact on others and that's a deeply valuable thing. Keep doing what you're doing.

Impressionist paintings have always been my favorite! My mom loves Mary Cassatt, and I remember going to see an exhibition of her work when I was young (and I wrote a paper about her in high school). If I had to pick a favorite painter, it would be Claude Monet. I have several prints of his work hung up in my apartment, and I think the "pleasantness" of his work is a big part of it. It's so nice and calm to look at and enjoy. A big take away I've gotten from The Art Assignment over the years is that art doesn't have to be pretty, and that art is many different things, but at the end of the day, pretty is often what I'm personally looking for in art, and Impressionism delivers on that front.

My personal favorite is Van Gogh. I know he is classified as a Post Impressionist. Not only did he capture the moment in his works, but more importantly he captured the ENERGY of the moment like no other. His paintings vibrate with the energies of life, being alive, and the indestructibility of these energies. Rilke captures my feelings of Van Gogh's works best in the final line of his poem "Buddah in Glory" where he writes "But in you is the presence that will be. when all the stars are dead.” ...

At 4:17 Sarah says that Louis Leroy, who died, the slide says, in 1855, had coined the term 'impressionism' by commenting on a painting that was made in 1872. This appears to be an incongruency. A quick google search says that Leroy died in 1885. Just a heads-up. Your work is appreciated. ^^

Describing Impressionism as "optical delight" is brilliant! :) Loved the video.

It's not only these pictures that rely on the associations of impressions, and the levels of attention to the presentation, but they are a context for development of the idea of themes.

One of my newest artistic endeavours that I have recently begun is Digital Scrapbooking. I never got into the original paper scrapbooking, because all those bits and pieces of paper was such a mess to carry around and glue and cut and you could only use them once. But recently I came across Digital Scrapbooking where you can buy papers and elements (embellishments) from online and re-use them over and over again. This was so much easier to do. I have been doing this art form for the last 8 months and i LOVE it. I cannot design the papers or elements. But I can put them together in a variety of interesting and pleasant ways. Every week when I have my weekly Skype chat with my family, I show them all the new pages i have made for that week. So Sarah. How about the Case for Scrapbooking or Digital Scrapbooking? It can come under Graphic Art if you need a genre name for it. Thanks.

5:40 Now that painting, it's so bright and sunny it's makes my heart joyous. The summer vibe of a village road, those small details of bushes and people.

Great video. I would love to see a 'Case for' about Symbolism, one of the least appreciated of the 'isms' at the end of the 19th century. And one of the last overarching 'ism's as there was a correspondence with music and literature along with the art.

Great video . Nicely explained . Obsessed with Renoir . I like art that makes me happy . Escape into a painting and imagine life in that era. Harsh art makes me feel uneasy . I have kept my taste in art since I was a child . Monet, Manet . Degas , and Renoir my favorite among others . Thank you for this video .

Oh wow this was wonderful, I don't really know a lot about art and especially about art movements (I mostly subscribe for the art cooking videos) but this was so entertaining and engaging. I think especially because I was fortunate enough to visit the Musee d' Orsay recently and saw many of these paintings in person. This has really expanded my viewpoint and understanding of impressionism building on what I learnt in Paris

impressionist paintings are one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, the bright colors are so mesmerizing and peaceful but when you say impressionism had become a global tendency, was it actually global? or was it just spread around western countries? because I would love to see art history related to Asian or South Asian artists and their Art

This will help with my self-study with photography. I like the concept of lighting the subject or the scene. I'm going look into this part. Very educational for my part. Greetings from Netherland, Rotterdam.

After laying my eyes on The Floor Scrapers at 5:48, I went to Wikipedia and fell down a Gustave Caillebotte rabbit hole. Fascinating , underappreciated artist, and quite a looker, too.

I love the impressionist style because of my bad vision. When I see it its like the way I see the world. The only difference is that the painting is dreamy while the world is blurry
