  Impressionism (literature) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Much of what we would call "impressionist" literature is actually subsumed into a number of categories, especially Symbolism, with its chief exponents being Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Rimbaud, and Verlaine.
Impressionistic literature can basically be defined as when an author centers his story/attention on the character's mental life such as the character's impressions, feelings, sensations and emotions, rather than trying to interpret them.
In French literature, a popular Impressionistic writer during the Impressionism Movement was Emile Zola.

 Impressionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists who began publicly exhibiting their art in the 1860s.
The rise of Impressionism in France happened at the same time that painters in other countries, including the Italian artists known as the Macchiaioli, and Winslow Homer in the United States, were also exploring plein-air painting and the challenge of depicting modern life.
Leroy declared that Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant) by Claude Monet was at most a sketch and could hardly be termed a finished work.

 Vienna 1900: Literature
Emerging as a protest against the sterile formalism and overwrought complexity of aestheticism, the watchword of literary impressionism was "simplicity is the seal of truth." Impressionism exploited linguistically compact lyric and prose forms.
The hallmark of literary impressionism is a melding of the subjective emotions of the author with the surrounding objective, social world.
Stylistically, impressionism is marked by a succinct, telegraphic use of language that exploits innuendo, plays on words, biting wit, and humor.

 TRANS Nr. 15: Pamela S. Saur (Lamar University, Texas): Viennese Fin-de-Siècle Impressionism in International ...
In this environment, impressionism arose amid a general Europan sense of a new age and the need for new lifestyles, new definitions of art, as well as new explorations of its possibilities, and of the connections between art and life.
The art, literature, and criticism that followed it have shown more dire types of fragmentation, relativism, and relentless questioning and doubt; and the developments involved in the associated concept of a "language crisis," associated with the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, is a separate field onto itself.
Impressionism is one of the movements that call language into question in new ways, but no deep understanding of linguistics or the philosophy of language is necessary to appreciate impressionistic literary techniques.

 TWENTIETH CENTURY LITERATURE
In Serbian literature, similar phenomena are to be noticed not only in the appearance of the Parnassian lyric poems of Vojislav Ilic (who had a large number of followers and was a dominant figure in the 1890s), but in literary criticism as well.
Literature noticeably depended on the general political-ideological changes, which were often sharp and sudden, but which decade after decade lost their strength, and thus the art of literature was able to continue its independent development.
He is a well-known historian of Serbian literature, and he captured the fancy of both domestic and foreign critics and readers with a novel strangely written in the form of a dictionary (Dictionary of the Khazars, 1984).

 W.W.E. Ross's Imagism and the Poetics of the Early Twentieth Century
Impressionism, although it eschews a normative reality for the fragmentary and unfinished one of the fleeting impression, deals also with a material not a spiritual reality.
Impressionism is suited to the mutability of the winter landscape, Imagism to its heightened, momentary, clarities.
Rendering the fleeting impression, and that is all that is possible in changeability, confers a durability which is not inherent in the object.

 Conrad and Impressionism - Cambridge University Press   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Impressionism, Peters argues, enabled Conrad to encompass both surface and depth not only in visually perceived phenomena but also in his narratives and objects of consciousness, be they physical objects, human subjects, events or ideas.
Though traditionally thought of as a sceptical writer, Peters claims that through Impressionism Conrad developed a coherent and mostly traditional view of ethical and political principles, a claim he supports through reference to a broad range of Conrad¿s texts.
Conrad and Impressionism investigates the sources and implications of Conrad¿s impressionism in order to argue for a consistent link between his literary technique, philosophical presuppositions and socio-political views.

 Art Periods: IMPRESSIONISM in France
Impressionism also refers to the work of artists who participated in a series of group exhibitions in Paris, the first and most famous of which was held from April 15 to May 15, 1874, at the studio of the photographer Nadar.
The term, however, was quickly taken up by sympathetic critics, who used it in an alternative sense to mean the impression stamped on the senses by a visual experience that is rapid and transitory, associated with a particular moment in time.
At the same time, impressionism was beginning to have a tremendous impact both on French painting generally and also on the art of other countries; this continued well into the 20th century.

 Greatest Hungarian Poets
Latinizing of the culture after Hungary's conversion to Christianity delayed the rise of an indigenous literature, and the Hungarian language was first used to translate religious matter, the earliest known text originating around 1200.
From the mid-18th century to the 1848 War of Independence, literary growth was accelerated by the Enlightenment, romanticism, and opposition to the Habsburgs.
The scope of Hungarian literature was further expanded by the classicism of Mihaly Babits; the realistic fiction of Zsigmond MORICZ; the sophisticated plays of Ferenc MOLNAR; the fiction of Tibor DERY, Lajos Kassak, Gyula Krudy, and Laszlo Nemeth; and the poetry of Attila JOZSEF, Gyula Illyes, and Sandor Weores.

Impressionism would be a hot, hazy afternoon, perhaps clouds slowly moving across the sky, maybe soft moonlight.
This is not to suggest that all Impressionistic music is slow and quiet--some of it is very loud and fast moving, but there is a greater tendency of its composers to concentrate on the more introspective aspects of nature, concerned with the infinite variety of subtle shadings.
One of the reasons that Impressionism failed to catch on internationally was that if you used Debussy's rules, you tended to sound like Debussy--and each composer wishes to blaze his own trail through music.

 Harper's New Monthly Magazine
The most representative literature of the day - the writing which appeals to, which has done so much to form, the younger generation - is certainly not classic, nor has it any relation with that old antithesis of the Classic, the Romantic.
For its very disease of form, this literature is certainly typical of a civilization grown over-luxurious, over-inquiring, too languid for the relief of action, too uncertain for any emphasis in opinion or in conduct.
And naturally, necessarily, this endeavor after a perfect truth to one's impression, to one's intuition - perhaps an impossible endeavor - has brought with it, in its revolt from ready-made impressions and conclusions, a revolt from the ready-made of language, from the bondage of traditional form, of a form become rigid.
