Impressionism
What is a Impressionism?
In this art style, painters like Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh, and Berthe Morisot, tried to express not only what the scene looked like but also the impression they got from it - or the feelings that were apparent. They often would paint live and would need to do it quickly so they used dabs of colors instead of mixing their paint smoothly.
