Musical Impressionism "I have no hobbies...They never taught me anything but music." ––Claude Debussy. He brought an entirely new musical style into the public eye; he expressed visual phenomena by appealing to auditory senses; he stepped outside of the grasp of Romanticism, yet still followed its pathways; he paved the road for nearly all modern music to be composed after him; he altered music history. Claude Debussy was nothing if not an absolute master of the art of composition, yet, as a…

Impressionism Art Painting can be idealized as a big movement from the 19th century and flourish in France. The Impressionist has normal methods of insight about painting, in spite of the fact that their styles varied broadly. They manage to catch the transient impacts of light through painting in short strokes of immaculate shading. Impressionist concentrated on the emotional impacts of air and light on individuals and objects. Pop art can be idealized as astounding and questionable. They…

The Seine is often portrayed as a peaceful place, primarily by Renoir’s contemporary Impressionists like Claude Monet. The French impressionists often painted the Seine as a sanctitude of nature. However, the Seine has often historically been illustrated in quite a contrasting way. Many depicted the urban part of this river, including buildings, bridges, boats…

Humans are complex beings that are always trying to progress onward, whether it would be through physical strength or through self-expression. To be human, there is a craving for something more and something that can move themselves from where they are to elsewhere. They can move forward, to the left or the right. They also could go up or diagonally, taking any and all chance they can to keep moving. The fact is they must use what they have learned from those before them to progress on. They…

The artistic movement known as impressionism sought to capture events and scenes in order to convey their essence not through exact reproduction but rather through color and light. The goal was not only to reproduce the scene itself but to also reproduce the sensation and life of the scene. The impressionist style with its free and unplanned brushstrokes, bright and vivid colors, and innocent subjects soon became synonymous with modern life and art. Various individuals within the movement would…

During the early to late 1860’s landscapes were becoming more hyper-realistic due to the expansion of America with the Louisiana purchase. Artists were hired to go out with these brave colonials and paint the landscapes of this undiscovered region. What came back was absolutely breath taking. Even though this was a ploy to get people from the 13 colonies to migrate west, it was a successful one. Two of the artists chosen were Albert Bierstadt and Frederic Church, both painters by trade and both…

The period of early 20th century was the time that the great musical changes were happened. At the end of the 19th century, enormous social and technological change prompted pessimism. By that time, there was a sense that progress could not continue forever. Old ideas and values no longer necessary and romanticism reached its limit in arts. Especially in music, Romanticism seems overextended which means music can no longer be longer, grander, more expressive. Because of this reason, the…

I visited the Gilcrease Museum and toured various exhibits. The museum hosts a vast assortment of artifacts entailing the history of America, from its multitude of early Native American art to current day. I loved seeing the different forms of artwork housed at the museum. My favorite exhibit was over impressionism in California during the 20th century. The movement, while rooted in impressionism, changed shape with new American influences. For example, painters used new methods to show God…
