Impressionism

Impressionism sculpture is a style of art that is characterized by a number of features, including:

  • Unfinished appearance: sculptures are often left unfinished, which can create a sense of realism and strength. 
  • New materials: sculptors used new materials in their work, such as real fabric and lead tubs. 
  • Loose finish: Impressionism sculptures are often left with a rough finish. 
  • Focus on motion: sculptures often focus on fleeting motion and the effect of movement. 
  • Modern subject matter: sculptures often depict modern life. 
Auguste Rodin is considered a leader in Impressionism sculpture. His sculptures, such as Burghers of Calais and Walking Man, are known for capturing the essence of a moment passing through time. 
The Impressionist movement began in 1874 with the formation of the Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, Printmakers, etc. The movement was characterized by a rejection of established styles and a focus on depicting modern life. The term “Impressionism” comes from the title of Claude Monet’s painting Impression, Sunrise.
