Impressionism/Birth of Modern Art

Abstract: A 3 page research paper that argues that impressionism was crucial to the development of modern art. The writer argues that impressionism necessarily resulted in a certain amount of abstraction and also promoted the idea that an artist should interpret reality through art, rather than simply record it. An examination of impressionism, specifically works by Claude Monet (1840-1926) and Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), demonstrate how this movement in art was the necessary forerunner of modern art in the twentieth century. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
