Blog 4-Response to “Impressionism and Postimpressionism” http://fsmeo3.wordpress.com/
I liked this blog, and found that it definitely describes Impressionist painting and why the author enjoys it. I also think that the impressionist painting seems to depict life better than the classical painting. The impressionist seem to focus more on the here and now of what they are painting, actually catching the moment like a photograph. I like how the author of this blog said “Impressionism captured the elusive moment in a way the classical painting captures an object,” I think that this sums up impressionist painting very well.

I enjoyed reading this blog, and found that the author makes many arguments which I agree with. I would say that I like many impressionist paintings, but as stated in this blog there are paintings which are simply hard on the eyes and make no sense. I really liked the use of examples through the blog, and how as you read you were “forced” to look at the paintings. The names and dates of the artists should have been cited, but overall I greatly enjoyed this blog and found that it gave a strong honest opinion of impressionism.
