Impressionist Portraits
How did it happen?
In the 1870’s, painters began painting in the
Impressionist style as a reaction against the strict
style of the Realists. Impressionist painters were
interested in the changing qualities of light and
wanted to express that in a way that Realism could
not.
Characteristics of Impressionist paintings:
- Small, thin, yet visible brush strokes
- Open composition, emphasis on the accurate
- Depiction of light in its changing qualities - Ordinary subject matter
- The inclusion of unusual visual angles.
