Simultaneous Contrast, M.E. Chevreul, +Impressionism
2
- Was started in the 19th century in Paris
- Impressionism uses very small, thin, free brush strokes which are extremely visible in the painting, and capitalizes on a very accurate portrayal of light. Much of the time, the subject matter is simple and ordinary, but it includes many unusual visual angles and focuses on the overall visual effect, rather than just the detail of the subject.
-Some of the classic major players of Impressionism were: Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, and Édouard Manet. (As well as Van Gogh, as a Post-Impressionist)
-Impressionism was considered extremely radical for the 19th century, since the Académie des Beaux-Arts ruled the French art world, and only valued traditional style realism, captured in historical, religious and portrait pieces.

-M.E. Chevreul discovered the effects of colour which developed the law of simultaneous contrast in 1839

Impressionism
M.E. Chevreul
- French chemist known for research on fatty acids
- Developed concept of simultaneous contrast
- Received many complaints regarding how dyes appeared different in colour when used next to other dyes; realized that it was a result of colour contrast
- Chevreul’s illusion: adjacent colours having same hue but different intensities appear to be non-homogeneous colour
- Influenced Impressionism and Post-Impressionism movements
- Artists learned to place complementary colours next to each other to increase intensity of composition
