Impressionist artists who changed the art world

In the 19th century, artists asked questions that challenged academic standards. For centuries art alternated between “realism” and “romanticism,” but a new group of artists began to experiment with techniques to express subjectivity, light, perspective, color, and form. The “impressionists” artists sought to give their impression of the world—to capture moments in a way previous artists had not. This course discusses 10 of the most famous impressionists and what makes them great.
