Impressionist Art

IMPRESSIONIST STYLE

Emerging in 19th-century France, Impressionist art embraced loose brushwork and plein-air painting to respond to the movement of daily life. Although the pioneers of the Impressionist movement — Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir — are now household names, their work was a radical break with an art scene led and shaped by academic traditions for around two centuries. These academies had oversight of a curriculum that emphasized formal drawing, painting and sculpting techniques and historical themes.

The French Impressionists were influenced by a group of artists known as the Barbizon School, who painted what they witnessed in nature. The rejection of pieces by these artists and the later Impressionists from the salons culminated in a watershed 1874 exhibition in Paris that was staged outside of the juried systems. After a work of Monet’s was derided by a critic as an unfinished “impression,” the term was taken as a celebration of their shared interest in capturing fleeting moments as subject matter, whether the shifting weather on rural landscapes or the frenzy of an urban crowd. Rather than the exacting realism of the academic tradition, Impressionist paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings represented how an artist saw a world in motion.

Many Impressionist painters were inspired by the perspectives in imported Japanese prints alongside these shifts in European painting — Édouard Manet drew on ukiyo-e woodblock prints and depicted Japanese design in his Portrait of Émile Zola, for example. American artists such as Mary Cassatt and William Merritt Chase, who studied abroad, were impacted by the work of the French artists, and by the late 19th century American Impressionism had its own distinct aesthetics with painters responding to the rapid modernization of cities through quickly created works that were vivid with color and light.

The Charmer, Painting, Oil on Canvas
Located in Yardley, PA
Crystal Cove in Newport, California is a popular destination for plein air artists, known for its rustic setting along the 12-mile coast. The beach is surrounded by lush greenery and boasts crystal-clear water, making it the perfect setting for a painting. I was especially drawn to Crystal Cove for its unique combination of scenic beauty and recreational activities. Snorkelers and scuba divers can often be seen exploring the waters, and the beach is a popular spot for walkers and sunbathers. I enjoyed walking the beach, taking in the sights and sounds of this special place. The sound of the waves, combined with the salty ocean air, was invigorating and helped me focus on my work. One of the highlights of painting Crystal Cove was capturing the charming, old-world atmosphere of the beach cottages that line the shore. These cottages, with their weathered wood and colorful shutters, add character and history to the landscape and make for an interesting subject to paint. Painting at Crystal Cove was a wonderful experience. I was able to capture the beauty and magic of this special place and share it with others through my art. Whether you're a local or a visitor, I hope my paintings inspire you to appreciate the charm and beauty of Crystal Cove in Newport, California.
