Impressionism, a major movement in painting that
developed chiefly in France during the late 19th
and early 20th centuries. Impressionist painting
comprises the work produced between about 1867
and 1886 by a group of artists who shared a set
of related approaches and techniques.
Characteristics of Impressionism were an attempt
to accurately and objectively record visual
reality in terms of transient effects of light
and color.

Quotation Monet, 1889- "When you go out to paint,
try to forget what objects you have before you --
a tree, a house, a field, or whatever. Merely
think, here is a little square of blue, here an
oblong pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint
it just as it looks to you, the exact color and
shape, until it gives you your own naive
impression of the scene before you."

Transient effects of light and colour

• Often made using short dabs of colour, one over
  another.
• This technique makes Impressionist pictures
  shimmer and live.

Dot to dot

• This is one of my favourite paintings from the
  Impressionist Movement. It is by Georges Seurat
  and it is titled "Le Bec du Horne, Grandcamp". It
  is an excellent example of the pointillist (DOTS)
  technique. Le Bec du Hoc was a spectacular
  geological feature which was greatly reduced by
  bombardment during the Second World War. This
  painting can be admired at the National Gallery
  in London.
