Why Choose Impressionist Art and Prints?
The Impressionist group rebelled against the traditional painting styles of the day. Instead of smoothly blended brushstrokes of grays and sedate, sober, minimalistic colors, the Impressionists painted with small visible brushstrokes using bright colors. They also filled their paintings with views of everyday life, like people on vacation or a sunrise. Though they were criticized in their day, they left quite a gift for future generations. Decorating your home with Impressionist prints and posters can add color and texture to your home making the space not only appealing but interesting.
