French Impressionism work

1. Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s.

Characteristics of Impressionist paintings include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on the accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.

Claude Monet, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), 1872, oil on canvas, Musée Marmottan.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette (Bal du Moulin de la Galette), Musée dÓrsay, 1876.

2. Modernism is modern thought, character, or practice.

Narrative Avant-Garde is a debatable term applied to use in a certain group of filmmakers and films.

Paintings were the most currently and popular bodies of art in French impressionism.

3. Camera work: Camera distance: close-up (as synecdoche, symbol or subjective image), camera angle (high or low), camera movement (independent of subject, for graphic effects, point-of-view).

Mise-en-scene: Lighting (single source, shadows indicating off-screen actions, variety of lighting situations), décor, arrangement and movement of figures in space.

Optical Devices: As transitions, as magical effects, as emphasizing significant details, as pictoral decoration, as conveyors of abstract meanings, as indications of objectivity (mental images, semi-subjective images, optical subjectivity).

4. The passion of Joan of Arc, 1928, director Carl Theodor Dreyer.
