Impressionism...Tres Belle!

Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in Le Charivari.
Characteristics of Impressionist paintings include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on the accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles. The emergence of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous movements in other media which became known as Impressionist music and Impressionist literature.

Comments: I like very much the impressionism is the type of painting that I like most, because of the technic, and how is done, and the picture soleil levant is one of my favorite, because of the colors that have, the orange sun is so beautiful, the sky and the green/blue sea, and Claude Monet was very advanced for that time, this type of paintin is so good, and is so hard and difficult to make, I know cuz I tried once in my painting class :)
