Para-Impressionism
Starting page
Introduction:
Many sources on Impressionism oppose their painting style to Neo-Classicism.
But it is far more interesting to compare them with the Pre-Impressionists.
It is even more interesting to compare them with artists who painted and exhibited and the same time as the ‘impressionists’.
I call these artists para-impressionists.
Sometimes these artists can be catagorised in art-movements like Realism and Naturalism.
But often it is more hard to catagorise them.
More in special I will render a page to Courbet and Manet, who both were admired by the ‘impressionists’.
Comparing the painting style of the para-impressionists with the impressionist painting style, helps us to define the impressionist painting style more than to compare it with Neo-Classicism.
