Then came a whole wave of styles, some of which apply today while others are currently dead. Some of the<br />

most important ones are illustrated by the following examples that in some different ways, with watercolors,<br />

depict this fruit dish.<br />

Neoclassical<br />

I e. with detail, clear and brilliant colors,<br />

often with designs from ancient Rome and<br />

Greece.<br />

Neoclassicism began in the 1760s and<br />

peaked between 1780-1790 with Jacques-<br />

Louis David (1748-1825).<br />

Impressionistic<br />

The style is characterized by coarse brushstrokes without<br />

finesse and the artists depicted the light shifts in a new way.<br />

Instead of, for example, make a shade blacker could it be<br />

purple. Claude Monet (1840-1926) was the inventor in 1867<br />

with the painting Sunrise. Other artists such as Pierre-<br />

Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) latched onto.<br />

Pointilism<br />

Similar to<br />

impressionism, but<br />

everything is painted<br />

with tiny color dots.<br />

The style was created<br />

by Georges Seurat<br />

(1859-1891) in the<br />

1870s.<br />

Expressionistic<br />

The artists were trying to express their<br />

feelings in their work, with strong colors<br />

and by intentionally distorting the image.<br />

The style emerged in the early 1900s, and<br />

the most famous representative was Henri<br />

Matisse (1869-1954).<br />
