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 paintings became revolutionary because they tended to be very different from the classical paintings that were done by most people. Broken brushstrokes were the technique that was used to make real-life impressions of different scenes. Many people thought that the drawings looked unfinished and did not readily embrace the new form of art thus it struggled to get to the top.

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.

After a few years, one famous artiste decided to paint a drawing that had the impression of an unfinished painting and called it the impression. He later used the name to name a movement which he started. However, the public did not receive this movement very kindly, and some became so hostile, but in the later years, they started to embrace it as the paintings displayed some modernity.

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.

Some years later, more people started to understand this form of painting thus they were becoming supportive to the painters. Impressionism thus became influential to many people who could now define their feelings through art. For this reason, many painters came to light and embraced Impressionism. They painted very nice drawings that they exhibited in many shows thus this artistry became so popular as years passed by.

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.

Normally, most of the impressionism painters focused on drawing modern life in the paintings, for example, the urban settings. Some painters liked to draw the real life of the people in rural settings while some liked to draw landscapes like factories, railways, and other landmarks. This made the paintings to be unique as they displayed the modern life.
