Explore the vibrant realms of Impressionism and Expressionism, two influential art movements. Impressionist painters like Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro emphasized light, color, and fleeting moments, creating atmospheric outdoor scenes. In contrast, Expressionism emerged in Germany, focusing on inner emotions and subjective experiences through distorted forms and bold colors, as seen in the works of Van Gogh and Kirchner. This guide delves into the techniques and themes of these movements, showcasing their profound impact on the art world.
