This was the birth of modern art – even the ready-made is anticipated by the casual ordinariness of impressionist painting.Ĭhange in art is never instant. The real revolution of impressionist art was to abolish all hierarchies of subject and genre, to try to show life just as it is, finding the beauty in the everyday. Something happened when Monet and his contemporaries looked openly at whatever happened in front of their eyes. ![]() In other words, the impressionist attitude evolved out of the Romantic movement.Īnd yet it was utterly new. In France (where Bonington spent a lot of time), landscape artists including Millet and Corot were also deeply alive to the sensuality of nature. In the early 19th century, British artists including John Constable and Richard Parkes Bonington not only took their gear outside but paid attention to the flux and even randomness of nature in a way the impressionists acknowledged as an inspiration. The Welsh 18th-century artist Thomas Jones was a particularly bold Georgian proponent of painting in the open air. Oil sketching in the open air was already common in the 18th century, when it reflected a Newtonian belief in empirical truth and the Romantic pursuit of oneness with nature. It had evolved over nearly two centuries – at least. John Singer Sargent beautifully captures this ideal in a portrait of Monet at work in the flux of nature, his easel set up amid the balmy elements.īut this idea did not appear like a flash when Monet painted Impression: Sunrise at 7.35am on 13 November 1872. On the other hand, the ideas impressionism was to make notorious, then famous, then revered, were not new at all.Īt the heart of impressionism is a desire to paint the immediate, sensual passing scene, in city or country – ideally and mythically – by placing an easel in the open air. But it was not until they had a group exhibition in 1874 that they were recognised as fighting for a common cause. When Monet called his intensely atmospheric morning scene Impression: Sunrise he coined a name for this art movement in which French painters dedicated themselves to capturing the fleeting light of never-to-be-repeated moments.
