Modern Impressionism
Modern Impressionism is based on the practice of painting outside and spontaneously ‘on the spot,’ rather than in a studio from studies. Landscapes and situations from ordinary life were popular modern impressionism subjects. The point is, modern impressionism artists were not attempting to create a realistic representation of a person, light, atmosphere, item, or landscape, but rather a ‘impression’ of what the person, light, atmosphere, object, or landscape appeared to them. That is why they were dubbed Modern Impressionism! They attempted to capture the motion and liveliness of what they observed and present it to us as if it were happening right in front of our eyes.
