Fast Facts
Impressionism is a product of
Positivist thinking as evidenced by the scientific
examination of light. Impressionist's recorded their
individual perceptions of light and color. Impressionist
paintings are suggestions of reality rather than a
recreation or replica of reality, object or scene in
nature. Each work demonstrates the artists' intuitive
response to nature, i.e. the transitory effect of light
on water, the natural properties of light.
