Edouard Manet style (Impressionist)

By jandro

  • Its origin

  • The principal exponents

    Manet, Alfred Sisley, Pierre-August Renoir

  • The form

    Similarly, the impressionists left the form in the background, preferring to explore the different modes of lighting.

  • Landscapes

    The landscape was perhaps the great protagonist of Impressionism, since the open panoramas allowed the amount of light and color necessary for their pictorial methods.

  • Pure colors

    The pure colors allowed the painters to rethink many of the chromatic laws in force until the time, being able to understand the color in relation to their companions and with the contrast they generate.

  • Gestaltic brushstroke

    It has been named like this the brushstroke model of impressionism, although psychological theories about Gestalt emerged later. However, the impressionists seemed to understand them already, because their brushstroke model opted to achieve a unitary whole from unconnected parts.
