Neo-Impressionism | What does Neo-Impressionism mean?
The term (Neo Impressionism) indicates a painting style in which colors are placed on a canvas as small dots side by side. The viewer sees these colors from a distance as a visual mixture as decorative patterns resembling mosaics. The beginning of the idea dates back to the year 1880. When the French painter Georges Seurat studied Some writings on color theory, Then he invented a new drawing technique Call it (color separation or zoning). The main advantage of it is that it gives more glow and liveliness to colors. And when Sora passed away at a young age, His successor Paul Signac, Which replaced the label divisional with a raster.
In the year 1886, The critic (Felix Fenion) has replaced the term with Neo-Impressionism. Soon this movement spread to Belgium And the Netherlands By painters such as Van Rieselberg, Jan Trupp, And others. Even (Van Gogh) contemporary with this movement, and interested in the theories of its leader (Sora) and painted several paintings in a point-like method. Among her most famous characters also: (Henry Cros), (Maximilian Luce), (Signac), and then joined them later (Camille Pissarro). These employed the scientific theories of color and perception to create visual effects, drawing inspiration from methods developed by scientists. And many of the New Impressionists were using tiles and unexpected blends of colors on the canvas to create bright lights of striking sparkle.
French artist Henri Edmond Kroos
Henry Cros was one of the representatives of this short-lived movement. Henry Edmond Delacroix was born in May of 1856. Later, he changed his last name to (Croese) in order to distinguish himself from the painter (Eugene Delacroix), and the artist began his studies of painting in 1878 At the Academy of Art in Lille, then in Paris. In his early days, he was influenced by (Bastian Labig), (Manet) and (Impressionist painters).
He used to display his works regularly in the Salon of Independents in Paris. Kroos's friendship with Signac earned him more confidence as he drew views of the sea and life in the countryside, but starting in 1890; he began to abandon the little point colors and paint with wider brushstrokes.
In 1905 he organized the first solo exhibition of his paintings. Crosse's landscapes of nature are not without poetry and are reminiscent of impressionistic forms in Japanese painting. It also presents an idealistic "arcaded" vision and conveys a sense of immortality. The painter died in Paris in 1910, at the age of fifty-three, of cancer.
