Was Degas a true Impressionist? by Helen Kim https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir Yes or No - please explain your view! en-us 2019-05-12 22:31:03 UTC 2023-05-10 01:56:01 UTC hello@padlet.com NO https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359719438 In my opinion he wasn't a true impressionist because if you compare his artwork to Monet there are quite a few differences which has my personal preference leaning more towards him being the true impressionist. He was the one who paved the way, I like the more abstract and serene artwork of Monet's. He doesn't focus as much on the subject, or the structure and the colour palette that is used. If I'm looking for a true impressionist's work - I want it to be somewhat similar to Monet. Degas definitely is talented, and he does emphasize the painting with lots of techniques. The way that Monet works with his light, I just favor it more. In comparison to Monet's Water Lillie's and Degas Dance Class, the one I feel that has a more impressionist feel would be Monet's. Degas paintings has a more Realistic feel to it.

Degas has been influenced by photography, which shows up in a lot of his paintings. This helped give a sense of in the moment (snapshot) 
 and movement throughout his paintings. An example of this  "Dance Lesson", 1871 by Degas. Degas uses the use of natural light which is one of the main unique techniques of the impressionists. This is why I believe that Degas is a true Impressionist.

In his art work, for example in his painting, The star, he accurately depicts the changing aspects of the artificial light. His use of angles creating a snapshot effect so often seen in his work also mark him as a impressionist. https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359719642 2019-05-14 01:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359719642 Sophia https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359719832 I think he is a true impressionist because of his modern subject matters, techniques of optical mixing and juxtapositions. For example, mid-class people and their modern lives were his focus. Additionally, his subjects are often off-centre. For instance, in his painting of The Star, the ballerina was not placed right in the middle, but rather being shifted rightwards, and the rock at far background was flattened as he did not lie to the viewers, but showed them whats on the surface

He uses juxtaposing to mentally blend colours together. An example of this is the ballerina in the oil pastel work called the star. The juxtaposing with-oil pastels is shown on the ballerinas skirt. This makes him a true impressionist as it adds depth to his work and juxtaposing is a technique other impressionist such as monet have used. He uses juxtaposing to blend colours when they are next to each other.]]> 2019-05-14 01:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359721377 https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359721597 I belive that he is not a true impressionist becuase although there are aspects in his paintings that which fall under Impressionism, he does not paint en plein air and focuses on the more traditional aspects of pairing, such as line. 

]]> 2019-05-14 01:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359721597 Because of Degas creative composition and analysis of the perspective of sports.And unlike Monet's Impressionist style, he uses oil pastels to render the spiritual world he wants to express. https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359721714 Degas]]> 2019-05-14 01:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359721714 NO https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359721774 I think that his artwork were more focused in the everyday life (ballerinas as working class). Although he focused on light as well, he had a bigger approach in focusing on the real life. - rain]]> 2019-05-14 01:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359721774 No ? https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359722169 I think Degas wasn't a true impressionist because compared to Monet's paintings, he has used light as an 'effect' on the focal point as the focal point/subject matters more than the actual lighting. His details are carefully constructed as well as the blending of colors. I think he is in between a realist and an impressionist as his paintings consists of everyday life.]]> 2019-05-14 01:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359722169 No https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359722427 2019-05-14 01:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359722427 https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359722627 I think Degas was a true impressionist even though he didn’t much focus on the light and the subject matters compared to Monet. I think it is because he still depicted light and colour on his works and also he has used an unusual viewpoint  and showed snapshot effext giving the impression that his subjects are just caught as he was largely influenced by photography.

In my opinion Degas doesn't differ as much from classical artwork like Monet does]]> 2019-05-14 01:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359723416 No https://padlet.com/hkim8/r165wjs2beir/wish/359723546 I think he was not a true Impressionist because Degas’s works have innovative composition, meticulous portrayal and thorough expression of action, and he did more details on the subject, but Monet was just focus on the lighting. The brushworks in his works can be seen but not like dots and dots Monet did so much.  Monet’s works seemed more free and unrestrained.  In my opinion,  Degas was more like an artist connect with Realism and Impressionism.

I say this because, when comparing him to Monet, whose main focus was on how light showed objects, Degas does play on natural light sometimes, but he allows his interest in the subjects/objects, and their line and composition to be more pronounced. I think he calculates his compositions too much to be seen as a true impressionist, whose main objective, I believe, is to bring out the spontaneous feeling of wonder and sublime felt when experiencing the image, to the viewer of the painting through the painter’s spontaneity in making the piece. Monet never sketched out his forms (eg 'Japanese Bridge' series), or planned his compositions, and you can feel the freshness produced and image yourself there. Because of Degas’ interest in structure (eg in 'Dance Lesson'), I think it is harder for the viewer to feel the spontaneity of the image. Therefore I do not think Degas is a true impressionist.
