What do these artists have in common?
This exhibition stands out to various impressionist artists, who revolutionized painting in the nineteenth century. Impressionism, known for its focus on the capture of light and movement at the precise moment, sought to represent reality objectively, as perceived in a fleeting moment. The most famous works of this artistic current are, for example, THE NEENS OF THE NENUFARS Claude Monet, or The rowers lunchto renew.
Light, color and brushstroke are the fundamental pillars of impressionism. Impressionist artists, through brief brushstrokes and pure and vibrant colors, sought to capture the instantaneity of visual perception. When applying colors directly on the canvas without mixing them on the palette, They achieved a luminosity and a sense of movement. Although the brushstrokes may seem unconnected, when moving away, the viewer perceives a clear and vibrant image, as an instant photography of reality.
