Where are you?
Where did everyone go?
Well I'll just go ahead and post some stuff.
For art history this week we had to write a short essay. I think I'll post it, so you can all read it. It's about how the impressionists changed the way the world saw art.
Was Blind But Now I See
By Nevi Nevson
I have entitled this short essay “Was Blind But Now I See” because I feel that it reflects the way the Impressionists changed the way people saw art.
Before the 1800’s art was mainly like a photograph. Something to preserve a memory or the way someone, or something looked. The Impressionists saw the true beauty of art, that it reflected life and wonderful things in it. They painted outside, which was practically unheard of before that time, whereas they could see the light and shadows as the sun hit them, among other reasons.
Although I do adore most of the art forms that went on during that time, I am quite biased to the Impressionists because of their amazing techniques and interesting subjects. The way the could paint a room and not just make it a room, make it look like something out of a dream.
The reason the Impressionists weren’t forgotten was because they had brought something totally new to the table. By doing something that was considered risqué at the time, just like other great peoples. Like Martin Luther and the protestant movement, for example. It was completely risqué to think that you could accept Christ as your savior and go to heaven without a couple of hundred years in purgatory. Great people spawn great movements.
After a while the Impressionists began to win the world over. And sense then we’ve had other amazing and talented people, such as, Tamara De Lempicka, Picasso, Normal Rockwell, Yoshitaka Amano, Arthur Rackham, among others.
So I say, God bless the Impressionists! Without them where would art be?
…………Don’t answer that.
