From Paris: A Taste for Impressionism: Paintings from the Clark

Product Information

The German Impressionists, including Max Liebermann, Lovis Corinth, Ernst Oppler, Max Slevogt and August von Brandis. Never a consolidated movement, Post-Impressionism was more a reaction against Impressionism, which it considered too stifling. Post-Impressionists chose to portray not just what was tangible, taking a more symbolic and emotive approach to their subject matter, especially in color use, which was not required to express realism.

The invention of photography also proved influential, with its potential for cropping, blurring and fragmentation, as did the proliferation of Japanese prints on display in the West, with their strong outlines, vivid colours and flattened designs. The First Impressionist Exhibition Varnedoe, J. Kirk T. The Artifice of Candor: Impressionism and Photography Reconsidered, Art in America 68, January 1980, pp. 66–78 Artists' petitions requesting a new Salon des Refusés in 1867, and again in 1872, were denied. In December 1873, Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas and several other artists founded the Société Anonyme Coopérative des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs ("Company of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers") to exhibit their artworks independently. [12] Members of the association were expected to forswear participation in the Salon. [13] The organizers invited a number of other progressive artists to join them in their inaugural exhibition, including the older Eugène Boudin, whose example had first persuaded Monet to adopt plein air painting years before. [14] Another painter who greatly influenced Monet and his friends, Johan Jongkind, declined to participate, as did Édouard Manet. In total, thirty artists participated in their first exhibition, held in April 1874 at the studio of the photographer Nadar. Many vivid synthetic pigments became commercially available to artists for the first time during the 19th century. These included cobalt blue, viridian, cadmium yellow, and synthetic ultramarine blue, all of which were in use by the 1840s, before Impressionism. [25] The Impressionists' manner of painting made bold use of these pigments, and of even newer colours such as cerulean blue, [4] which became commercially available to artists in the 1860s. [25] A Taste for Impressionism will span the entire exhibition space of the Royal Scottish Academy building, charting how Impressionism emerged from the indulgence of the Romantic period to become a bona fide radical movement, through to the price-shattering auction phenomenon it is today.

The Edinburgh art festival, essentially an umbrella term for all the city’s summer exhibitions, runs, like the new trams, all the way down to Leith, where Salvadoran artist José Campos, AKA Studio Lenca, is showing mordant photographic self-portraits at Sierra Metro. With the simple expedient of a football, some lace or a tablecloth he becomes a Latin American Madonna.I liked the painting by Camille Pissaro below, not just because it’s a pretty scene but because it shows a bit of social history that I hadn’t heard of before – a mobile wash tub.
