The History Of Impressionist Prints

By Barbara Myers


Not so many people have heard about impressionism, and they do not know what it is. Impressionist prints are a form of painting that uses bright colors that can accurately depict visual reality. It started becoming popular about two centuries ago and has grown to be accepted by many people today. It mostly focuses on modernity compared to the other forms of painting.

These paintings were revolutionary during their time, and they deviated from classic and fantastical scenes. They portrayed real life by use of broken brushstrokes designs that emphasized the general look of a scene or place. Although it is popular today, this form of art struggled to get to its feet in the past centuries.

In ancient days, so many works of these painters that had decided to embrace impressionism were rejected in the exhibitions by the artistry associations. This is because their style differed from the standards of art that had been set. The rejected artistes then decided to create their centers to exhibit their works of art, but the public did not receive them very well.

After some years, one renowned artiste came up with a unique painting which he named impression. He then later began a movement and named it the impressionism which was meant to empower painters. It was however unfortunate that the public badly received the movement, but after several years, they started to embrace the new form of artistry in the society.

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.

In later years, many people were now accepting this kind of artistry as they were being impressed by it. It became very influential in that it started defining how people expressed what they feel in the form of art. This made more and more painters to sprout and exhibit their works of art without being afraid of the reaction of public.

At first, people were shocked to see this form of art as they were not used to see paintings that are done in such bright colors. They were used to cool colors because most of the classical painters used golden paints that were thick to tone their paintings down. To add to that, the impressionist painters used liked using colors that were bright and vivid in their drawings.

Most of the drawings captured modernity such as suburbs and even some rural settings. Some painters focused on the day to day life of these villagers while others focused on urban settings. Landscapes were also prominent figures in these drawings, but the painters who focused more on modernization included railways and factories.
