I’m relatively new to actively seeking out art that I like and I’ve found that Impressionism is one of my favorite styles. Is Impressionism normalfag level?

Any suggestions for art that might help me advance my tastes a little. I love impressionism, but I don’t want to only appreciate it when there’s a whole other world of art out there. Kind of like when I was 14 and all I listened to was classic rock and didn’t know how much other great stuff I was missing out on

It's alright, but it just happens that Manet happens to be one of my favorite artists and his work is the precursor to, but not quite, impressionism. Here's one of his best works and you can clearly tell it heavily leans toward impressionism.

I much prefer the modernist era paintings that come after though. I used to be of the opinion of Edvard Munch on impressionism is that it's at the end of the day realism but painted with some tricks with light and doesn't express the essence of what lies underneath. That's the reason why post-impressionism was just the logical step forward to further abstraction and less reliance on the forms in nature. That's alright though, there is still something fundamentally aesthetic about impressionism that's just missing when you start to mess with the colors like the Fauvists.

For a recommendation, look up the Symbolists (stuff like in the OP) and people like Gustav Klimt and the art-nouveau. They are very connected to the era of what we considered the "modern" art, basically just reality being abstracted. Also follow the German art movements turning up at the beginning of the 20th century like Die Brucke and Der Blaue Reiter movement as they take a lot of inspiration from post-impressionism and Cubism, and really the Germans I think are some of the best representations of general culture in the 20th century. The French branched off to the Dada and Surrealism due to innovations in photography and film and that was basically the end of that for painted art for them it seemed as they leaned heavily to post-modernism due to one culprit. Shame too, they could have taken a cue from the Italians

Its peak midwit and low visual spatial reasoning, does not challenge one’s understanding of color theory or perspective and generally hinges on emotional rather than abstract intellectual engagement with the piece. Is perfect for the ennui and dour but outwardly, performatively sociable metropolitan-suburban human. Guaranteed correlation between preference for 21st century city life and impressionism.

Read Marinetti's Manifesto of Futurism published in 1909. A very forceful piece of writing and literature in itself. Here's a very interesting example painted in fucking 1912 where they clearly embrace the long-exposure and possibility of movement represented by upcoming technology. Even better is the rest of Balla's art basically looks nothing like this and he's basically a trove of art history for the time in his paintings alone

Having an advanced taste to my mind is knowing what you value in art and why, which means reading about art you don't like the look of as well. An understanding of art in a holistic sense. You might find you stop having a favourite style at all.

You can be a pseud and still have a high iq, was speaking about the average person who posts impressionist artwork. Rudeness is to be expected where social regulation mechanisms are relaxed for the sake of low friction spread of information. I'm being rude because people who post impressionist art tend to be agreeable and easily offended faggots.

what you gravitate towards initially is a strong indication of what you will settle for ultimately, I don't know why you give a damn about what I think of you.

Insert Ramiel joke. I'd like to encourage discussion of specific art books that anons have read or spent time with.

Read-and-looked-at this, cover to cover as a kid, it's the definitive scholarly work on Escher, with a good leading biography and catalogue raisonne. The one defect is that several plates occupy one page, so you don't really view the work, but you know what it is, where it is, etc.

I'm with you, Anon. Impressionism is my favorite style because it's what I imagine my nostalgic memories look like in my head: it's about capturing how the moment feels rather than capturing fine details. That's why it has its distinct look. Sure, it's not the most technical nor the most intellectual artistic movement or style, but your favorites shouldn't really be based on objective aspects like that. It's one thing to appreciate art and the elements that govern it, but it's another thing entirely to naturally gravitate towards a specific theme, subject, technique, medium, etc.

You got a favorite piece? Monet's Water Lilies series is my favorite. I once had to go to the Legion of Honor in SF for an essay about a Bouguereau piece that was collected there, and I just so happened to catch a showing of major Impressionist works. I nearly shit my pants when I saw Water Lilies in the corner because I didn't even know they had it there. Seeing them in person is a totally different experience since the impressionists didn't give a fuck about how much oil paint they used. There were literal mountain ridges of hardened paint that made shadows on the canvas.

It's as normalfag as it gets, but why should I let other people's opinions about my own opinions affect what I like?

Not the guy you were talking to but it's significantly better in person. Pieces you'll see in person will seem drab online by contrast. I didn't appreciate Picasso or any classics until seeing them in person. Go to museums often anon. I live by NYC so I'm fortunate in that regard, and recently (also by fortune) was able to go to Paris and see a few as well. You MUST see art in person to appreciate it, it's very difficult to feel its soul otherwise.

Absolutely. It's an entirely different experience. Looking at Rembrandt on google images is nice, but it doesn't do much for me, and for the longest time that was the only way I experienced his work. Then I saw his Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis in person, at touching-distance, and was absolutely awestruck. You can't appreciate the craft at all without having seen it in person.

Fair enough, you're not wrong at all. I thought the same thing somewhat. When you're in another continent whose countries are deeply rooted in a tradition, the land feels historically entwined with the culture you're standing in. But America's land is beautiful, yet not ours at all, it almost feels uncanny in that way. And it's unsettling that we glorify it the way we do with our landscapes, but I don't think landscapes are the best of American art as it is. It's the use of those flat colors the way people like Hopper do that I really like.

I was thinking repulsion as an expression of disgust and perhaps hate, which, unless something is fascinating, is not something I seek out again. You're still right, and I agree about Bergman.

He (Anders Zorn) and his generation of scandinavian painters were very inspired by the continetal impressionism of the late 19th century. More narrowly, it's simply nordic turn-of-the-century, so late 19th - early 20th century.

d'Orsay is not even one tenth of Louvre in size. It's a silly comparison.

This scene (Thérèse Dreaming by Balthus, 1938) may evoke a heady blend of comfort and a flustering sensation caused by the viewer catching a girl on the threshold of womanhood in a slightly indecent pose.

Unsurprisingly, some people object to the Met exhibiting this painting, but the museum — rightly — refuses to remove it.

Not the anon you were replying to but I had a similar reaction to his Wheatstacks series when I first visited the Art Institute in Chicago. I also get nostalgic, sort of sweetly melancholic feelings when I look at impressionist stuff. I think intellectualism in art is great but that's not all there is to it at all. Even the stuff that speaks to you intellectually, if it doesn't also speak to you emotionally, isn't going to have as profound an effect on you.

You are an absolute pseudo-intellectual. Its in the way you speak. Stop thinking of yourself as a genius, because its clear that somewhere in your mind you do.
Art without emotional engagement is ugly soulless shit for bug-people in inhuman office jobs. Please either get a soul or off yourself. Impressionism is good not based on whether it is obscurantist or not but because it elicits a positive reaction from people.

Hey so check this out the other day I was walking home and I had this vision that today I'd encounter the lowest effort post of all time and low and behold here it is hahaha I guess thats what I get though huh not like I'll remember it tomorrow or even in a few hours for that matter but what can I say except holy shit imagine being what I can only imagine a grown man arguing with another grown man about punctuation which may or not be more cringe than the other and on top of that in an art thread of all places where so far the conversation has been relatively civil I mean its not like you have to defend your ego on an anonymous site anyway so maybe that vision wasn't supposed to be good but who knows I don't
