Biographical / Historical
Generally, the Impressionist style is synonymous with France: with artists like Édouard Manet, Claude Monet or Auguste Renoir, with quaint, bright and colorful works often depicting outdoor scenes, or for serial examinations of haystacks, church façades and lily ponds, captured in the play of varying light moods at different times of the day or year. In Germany, the well-known triumvirate of Lovis Corinth, Max Liebermann and Max Slevogt, so named even during their lifetime, are counted among the Impressionists. Even contemporary art scholars of the movement had regarded it at least as a European phenomenon. While Impressionism lost significance in France, the country of its birth, at the latest with the onset of the First World War, in Germany Impressionist tendencies, especially in the context of art academies, lasted well into the 1920s.
