This page is all about Impressionism.  We have a list of French Impressionists, California Impressionists, and American Impressionists. All three are separate genres of Impressionism that have impacted the modern art that we create today. Even though these painting styles may seem old, in their time, they were considered radicals. The impressionists opened us up to using abstraction, using color in a radical way, painting a feeling instead of realism, and also painting from everyday life. They were concerned with capturing light, fleeting moments in time, and reveling in crazy blobs of color. Below are videos and a list of artist's work to look at.
