MONET

SUNRISE

• The brightness of the sun is the same as the sky
• If you turn this picture into black & white, the sun almost disappears
• The lighting gives the viewer the "impression" the sun is just rising
• This painting was a new style of art called Impressionism
• See my next slide for more on Impressionism

IMPRESSIONISTS

• Short, broken brushstrokes
• Works in the effects of sunlight
• Monet and his friends wanted to experiment with art
• They wanted to do something different than older paintings
• Often the painting looks unfinished
