POST 1870 ART AND DESIGN MOVEMENTS.
Impressionism
Impressionism is a 19th art movement that originated from a group of Paris-based artists due to their exhibitions during the 1807s and 1880s. Impressionist paintings are usually characterised by small, visible brush strokes, open composition and attention to acurate depiction of light and its different qualities. Impressionist art also included motion and unusual visual angles.
Post-Impressionism
Post-Impressionism is another predominantly French art movement that developed between the 1880s and very early 1900s. Post-Impressionist art went against Impressionists concern for naturalistic depiction of light and colour, and instead focused on abstract qualities and/or symbolic content.

Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet - 1872. The name of this painting lead to the name of the art style due to a newspaper review that mocked the painting. |

Expressionism
Expressionism originated in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. Expressionist art presents the world from a perspective of the artist. The art is usually different from reality to give the art an emotional effect.
Expressionism changes the creation and judgement of art. Before expressionism, art was a depiction on the visual world, but expressionism comes from within the artist as the art is based on their perspective. Judgement of art also changed because expressionist art could now be judged based on the feelings that the artist conveys rather than just analysing th
e composition of the art.
