Impressionism and Beyond and Women in Art
Impressionism form of art began in 1874 after a painting titled Impression: Sunrise by
Monet. Consequently, a group of independent artists popularized the idea and became known as
impressionists (Pollock). The name impressionist was given to them by critics who hated their
work, claiming that their unfinished studies should not be published as art. However, their
supporters labeled their works "The New Painting."
Furthermore, artistic practice knowledge is more complex and encompasses all genders.
Pollock feels that women's role in art history should not be erased since erasure will distort
artistic knowledge and practices. However, the absenting of Mary Cassatt's work in an exhibition
show that women are being pushed away from the field (Pollock). For instance, she can be traced
to the first independent exhibitions, but art historians widely ignore the evidence to the point
where the knowledge offered by these people erases this fact.
Impressionism saw a drastic change in the art styles used by most artists. Before
impressionism, Artists used almost invisible and precise brushstrokes, which were blended with
a golden vanish (Pollock). On the other hand, impressionists used thick strokes to show the
nature of light and time movement.
An example is Monet's depiction of Impression: Sunrise in 1872. He used unmixed paint
with scattered strokes to capture nature the way he viewed it. He often applied a wet-on-wet
