AIS AWARD WINNERS
Mary Garrish AIS AIS Past President I view Impressionism as a style and movement in painting characterized by depicting the visual impression of the “moment." This is especially pertinent in portraying the shifting effects of light and color. Monet was an exemplary example, especially when you study the evolution of his works.
Philippe Gandiol For me, Impressionism is a mindset. We all see the world that is surrounding us in a different way as it is subjected to our personality, our mood, our physical attributes, our aspirations. It is also subjected to the time we live in, the evolution of mankind. Therefore, it can take many forms as it is in a constant flux and it flows through each of us in its own way. Impressionism is my own honest (as much as possible) response to it. So, it has to do with all of it: subject matter, technique, use of light and all that I described above.
Brett Jensen AIS Impressionism is the close observation of color within subject matter. A combination of the right brushstrokes of the right values while using the right color makes for a quality Impressionist painting.
