- Exhibition Features -
- Impressionism originated in French from Impressionnisme. It was an art movement from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. It originated in France, spread to Europe and the United States, and influenced the world.
The paintings are characterized by unadorned and visible brushstrokes, broad and boundless compositions, and a particular emphasis on the changes in light and shadow, the impression of time, and the depiction of ordinary things in life.
Impressionism is considered one of the cornerstones of modern art. It changed the traditional concept of art and had a profound impact on later art styles and movements such as Fauvism, Cubism and Abstract Expressionism. It has also become one of the world's most beloved schools of painting.
- Taichung and Impressionism Taichung has a deep connection with Impressionism, and its influence can be seen in historical artists, local art groups, and exhibitions in recent years.
Taichung Fengyuan artist Liao Chi-chun (1902-1976) was influenced by Impressionism and combined bright colors with Taiwanese landscapes to create a unique style. In addition, the Fengyuan Art Group (Fengyuan Class) inherited the spirit of Impressionism and Plein Air during the Japanese colonial period, and displayed the local landscape through sketching.
In recent years, Taichung has held many Impressionist-related exhibitions, such as the 2023 Tun District Art and Cultural Center's "The Face of Impression-He Zhiyong's Oil Painting Creation Solo Exhibition", which showcases Impressionist-style outdoor sketches and still life paintings.
This July, Florence Creative will hold the "150th Anniversary Light and Shadow Art Exhibition of Impressionism" at Taichung Zhongyou Department Store, using light and shadow technology to present classic works of masters such as Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh, bringing an immersive art experience.
Impressionist light, shadow and colors continue to shine in Taichung. This summer, we invite you to visit the "150th Anniversary of Impressionism Light and Shadow Art Exhibition" and enjoy an art feast that transcends time and space!
- The first painting, Impressionism, is named after the painting "Impression, Sunrise" by French painter Claude Monet. Created in 1872, Monet used blurred, scattered brushstrokes to depict the light of the rising sun and its reflection on the water.
When the painting was exhibited at the Independent Art Exhibition in Paris in 1874, art critics believed that the painting was merely an impression rather than a traditional detailed depiction, and used the word "impression" to mock this new painting style.
Although a derogatory term, artists were proud of it, and Impressionism became the hallmark of this art movement, which emphasized capturing momentary light, color changes, and impressionistic atmosphere. Painters usually painted outdoors, especially natural landscapes and scenes of daily life.
