Alice Bailly (1872 - 1938)-- At the dawn of the 20th century, an avant-garde movement flourished all throughout France. The new style that swept the art world was called fauvism. The painters within this movement stepped out of the traditional impressionist methods of painting, and took a subjective approach to painting with vibrant colors, bold shapes, and forms. The headlining artist of that movement was Henri Matisse. There were many male fauvist artists known for their artwork and creative ways to break out of the traditional mold of painting. However, Alice Bailly was one of the most radical artists inspired by the fauvist movement. Bailly was born in Geneva, Switzerland from a working class family. As a young woman, she knew she wanted to pursue a career as an artist. At age seventeen, she attended a local fine arts school in Geneva. However, she rebelled against the instructors and curriculum of the school. She argued that the teachers should encourage and draw out individual talent and not impose “second-hand” ideas and theories on students. Bailly won a scholarship to attend an arts school in Munich, but again was …show more content…
During that time, fauvism emerged in the French art world. She began to experiment with various styles and exhibited some of her own painting with other fauvist painters at the Salon d’ Automne. Bailly was also inspired by the abstract and unconventional art form of Cubism. After years of artistic experimentation, Bailly created and developed her own style of cubism. One of Bailly’s famous cubist art pieces was the “Fantasie Equestre de la Dame Roses.” The portrait illustrated horses “full of rhythmic movement” and different color patterns that conceal their bodies, yet still retain their shape. The image of a young woman on the horse represents a woman who overcame her challenges and controlled her own

Mary Cassatt is one of the most famous female figures in the art world and aided in the popularization of Impressionism. Her work was simple yet impactful, and left its viewers wanting more. The main focus in most of her works was of mother and child or of women doing simple daily tasks. Her broken brush strokes and bright color palettes made her pieces pleasant and full of life. Though her work was not at first accepted, she kept painting and worked hard to make a name for herself and to change the art world into something more diverse and accepting.
In the 1880’s the movement known as Impressionism was coming to an end. The eight and last Impressionist exhibition was held in Paris during 1886 (Time). Although Impressionism was coming to an end new forms of art arose to take its place. Some famous artists producing during this time include, Van Gogh, Georges Seurat, and Odilon Redon (Georges). Odilon Redon started his own movement known as Symbolism, which strives to give form to ideas and emotions (Odilon). Another painter responsible for creating a new style is Georges Seurat. Seurat was a French painter who popularized and developed his own style called pointillism.
When talking about such a diverse subject as Art, opinions on the matter of influences, and even the title of “The First…”, begins to become a bit touchy. When it comes to being the ‘first, true modern art style”, Impressionism usually comes to everyone’s mind, although that can often be greatly debated. I, myself am at a toss-up of whether or not I fully agree or disagree with this argument, however, for the sake of this discussion, I will say that my opinion lies in favor of agreement.

Modernism was a widespread change that took place in the late 19th century that continued throughout the early 20th century. This changed the scientific discovery, political philosophies, industrialization, and the growth of urban centers. During this time art was filled with many new and different ideas and styles, which include painting, sculpture, and so much more. This allowed artists to be free to express their emotion in what they want to do within their artwork. In Paris this launched the movement called Impressionism. Impressionist techniques independently, each artist using short or broken brush strokes that barely take forms, unblended colors, and shadows and highlights of light. Its founding members included Edgar Degas, Vincent Van Gogh, and Auguste Renoir, among many other artists. Their work is acknowledged today for its modernity, which embodied its rejection styles of new ideas that illustrate modern life.

“Impressionism” is a word that is mostly used within the artist community when referring to the artist movement. The first time the term impressionism was used was when a writer was talking about Claude Monet’s painting Impression: Sunrise. Technically however, the term was first officially used in 1877. The artists involved in this movement were called impressionists because of their simplified works. These artists were part of a group where artists shared their similar styles and techniques. This all happened between 1867 and 1886. Some of the more well-known and important artists were Monet, Renoir, Pisarro, Sisley, and Morisot. Monet and Renoir both panted scenes of La Grenouillere (restaurant and bathing place on a small branch of the Seine at Croissy). Their work helped define the beginning of this new period of art. The
