• Overarching Themes:
• America: During the years 1870–1900, American
Art was more of European art because even the works of American grown artists
such as Thomas Eakins and Winslow Homer were influenced through the foreign
arts.
• Impressionism announced the subversive power of
art, by freeing the artist to pursue his craft fearlessly and by insisting on engagement
with the real physical world.
III. A. American big Idea:
• The American artists used their own version of
“Impressionism”
• The influence of Europe’s Art initiated artist
growth and the development of museums, art schools and organizations in
America.
• Europe Big Idea: Impressionism was the first
step away from realism and towards abstraction. It followed the invention of the camera and allowed artists
freedom to move towards ideas of what is being shown and colors that are
unnaturally seen.
