Differences from French Impressionism
Impressionism of the Russian school has a pronounced national specificity and in many respects does not coincide with the textbook ideas about classical impressionism, born in France of the 19th century. However, in the painting of the “Russian Impressionists”, as well as in the French, objectivity and materiality dominate.
According to V. Filippov [2] , it manifested itself under conditions of “accelerated development”, which led to the formation of a mixture of various stylistic trends and its extended, extended in time existence. It is characterized by a large load of meaning and less dynamization compared to the French urban option, which determines its "rural" character, and so on. "The cult of etude." Obviously the genetic relationship of impressionism to realism. The French impressionists emphasized the impression of what they saw, and the Russians added a reflection of the artist’s internal state.
So, the characteristic features: “etude” and some incompleteness, which provide the “thrill of life” that was so significant for them, the lack of dynamism that was characteristic of urban France with a faster rhythm, a greater burden of meaning, a meaningful dominant, an inclination toward the meaning and significance of the artistic image, the great materiality and objectivity of painting, the main form is an etude, but at the same time, the tendency to painting monumentalization of the open air continued.
