    Impressionism was an artistic movement that began in the late 19th century. Key characteristics of Impressionist paintings included visible brush strokes, an emphasis on the changing qualities of light, and depicting ordinary subject matter from unusual angles. Impressionist artists aimed to capture the essence of a scene rather than details through short, thick strokes of paint and vibrant colors created by mixing pigments side-by-side with little blending.

    Impressionist Techniques
     The Cradle, by
    Berthe Morisot.  
    • Short, thick strokes of paint are used to capture
    the essence of the subject than its details.
    • Colours are applied side-by-side with as little
    mixing as possible, creating a vibrant surface.
    • Grays and dark tones are produced by mixing complementary colours. In
    pure Impressionism the use of black paint is avoided.
    • Wet paint is placed into wet paint without waiting for successive
    applications to dry, producing softer edges and an intermingling of colour.
    • Painting in the evening to get the shadowy effects of the light in the evening.
    • Impressionist paintings do not exploit the transparency of thin paint films.
    The surface of an Impressionist painting is typically opaque.
    • The play of natural light is emphasized. Close attention is paid to the
    reflection of colours from object to object.
    • In paintings, shadows are boldly painted with the blue of the sky as it is
    reflected onto surfaces, giving a sense of freshness and openness that was
    not captured in painting previously.
    Expressionism is an artistic style in which the artist
    attempts to depict not objective reality but rather the
    subjective emotions and responses that objects and
    EXPRESSIONISM events arouse in him.
    (1905-1925) • A term used to denote the use of distortion and
    exaggeration for emotional effect.
    • First took in art literature of the early 20th century.
    • When applied in a stylistic sense, in particular to the
    • use of intense colour,
    •agitated brushstrokes, and
    •disjointed space.
    • Artist accomplishes his aim through
    •distortion,
    •exaggeration,
    •primitivism, and
    • fantasy and
    •through the vivid, jarring, violent, or dynamic
    application of formal elements.
    • Its qualities were highly subjective, personal and
    The Scream spontaneous self-expression.
     by Edward Munch (1893)  • The movement strongly impose the artist's own
    sensibility to the world's representation.
    • The expressionist artist substitutes to the visual object reality his own
    image of this object, which he feels as an accurate representation of its
    real meaning.
    • The search of harmony and forms is not as important as trying to
    achieve the highest expression intensity, both from the aesthetic point of
    view and according to idea and human critics.
    • Expressionism assessed itself mostly in Germany, in 1910.
    • As an international movement, expressionism has also been thought of
    as inheriting from certain medieval artforms and, more directly, Cézanne,
    Gauguin, Van Gogh and the fauvism movement.
    • The most well known German expressionists are Max Beckmann, Otto
    Dix, Lionel Feininger, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, August
    Macke, Emil Nolde, Max Pechstein;
    • The Austrian Oskar Kokoschka, the Czech Alfred Kubin and the
    Norvegian Edvard Munch are also related to this movement.
    • During his stay in Germany, the Russian Kandinsky was also an
    expressionism addict.
    Expressionism is the
    tendency of an artist
    to distort reality for
    an emotional effect.
    Expressionism is
    exhibited in many art
    forms, including
    painting, literature,
    film, architecture and
    music. Additionally,
    the term often implies
    emotional sense.
    Expressionism is
    usually applied to
    works done in the
    twentieth century.
    Characteristics of Expressionist Architecture
    • Distortion of form for an emotional effect.
    • Subordination of realism to symbolic
    –stylistic expression of inner experience.
    • An underlying effort at achieving the new, original, and visionary.
    • Profusion of works on paper, and models, with discovery and representations of concepts
    as more important than finished products.
    • Often hybrid solutions, irreducible to a single concept.
    • Themes of natural romantic phenomena, such as caves, mountains, lightning, crystal and
    rock formations.As such it is more mineral and elemental than florid and organic which
    characterized its similarity to contemporary art nouveau.
    • Utilises creative potential of artisan craftsmanship.
    • Tendency more towards the gothic than the classical. Expressionist architecture also tends
    more towards the romanesque and the rococo than the classical.
    • It draws as much from Moorish, Islamic, Egyptian, and Indian art
    • Architecture more towards Roman or Greek.
    • The emphasis on either horizontality or verticality for dramatic effect, influenced by new
    technologies such as cruise liners and skyscrapers.
    • Curved architecture requires a curved covering, so expressionist architecture's roofs were
    often domes.
    Erich Mendelsohn's Einstein Tower.
    This sculpted building shows a shifting view of
    geometry. Devoid of applied ornament,
    Form and space are shaped in fluid concrete
    to express concepts of the architect and the
    building's namesake. Mendelsohn had a
    powerful sense of form, exhibited in the
    Einstein Tower but also in his numerous
    sketches. "In his sketches, which were
    unrelated to any commission, Mendelsohn
    thought in terms of volume and only
    secondly in terms of function."
    FUTURISM
    • Futurism was an artistic and social movement that originated in Italy in the early
    20th century.
    • It was largely an Italian phenomenon, though there were parallel movements
    in Russia, England and elsewhere.
    • The Futurists practiced in every medium of art,
    including painting, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design, industrial design, interior
    design, film, theatre, fashion, textiles, literature, music and  architecture.
    • Futurist architecture began as an early-20th century form of architecture which
    was characterized by
    – anti-historicism and
    – long horizontal lines suggesting speed, motion and urgency.
    – Technology and even violence were among the themes of the Futurists.
    • Major Futurist architects were Zaha Hadid, Oscar Niemeyer, Santiago Calatrava,
    Earo Saarinen,etc.
