Prominent artists in the stream of Impressionism: Edouard Mane | Claude Monet | August Renoir | Edgar Degas
In the paintings of the Impressionist artists the artist has a saying. In these paintings there is no patron, the artist does not refer to what is happening around him - to the events of the period. There is a change in form and a change in the meaning of doing.
Two basic things:
1. Indeed the form of the painting is so conspicuous, the innovation of the manner of painting is so important and principled that it does divert attention from the subject.
2. The perception, the idea that modern art from Mana deals with itself (as Zola said about Mana's painting) is not about a social issue, Modern art is autonomous art.
Impressionist artists act as scientists who study something defined. Each artist specializes in a particular subject.
The interest in specialization is very clear in the following four artists:
- Edouard Manet (1832-1883)
- Claude Monet (1840-1926)
- Auguste Renoir (1841-1919)
- Edgar Degas (1834-1917)
