When one hears the word impressionism the first two artists that generally come to mind are Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh. The truth be told; yes, both are art masters that gave the world a plethora of impressionist art that will last many, many lifetimes. The popularity of these two painters has not and will not dwindle anytime soon. However, there is a wide variety of impressionist art for sale from many different impressionistic artists
The art movement called “impressionism” originated in the 1860s in France. The idea was to take a specific moment in time and depict it with the shifting effects of the light. The concern was not to be realistically accurate in the depiction of a scene but rather, to convey a feeling or emotion of that particular moment.
Because of this concept, impressionist wall art can create a particular ethereal feeling unique to this movement of painting. Artists, such as Vincent Van Gogh, take this notion to a new level by showing the shift of emotions as light changes. In his “Starry Night,” Van Gogh transcends reality in his thick swirling brushstrokes that convey the movement of light intertwining with a deep dark blue sky. Similarly, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet and other impressionist masters build up paint on canvas to build a sense of depth, light and subject matter. As a result, impressionist paintings portray scenes with emotional accuracy and elegance.
