Lets split the affirmation and try to better analyze

Let's split the affirmation and try to better analyze it first, then all together and see my
final conclusions. First, let's see if Impressionism may be considered the first modern
art style. If we are looking chronologically on how the new artistic movements
born we can say that the Impressionism wasn't the first because it comes after the
Realism which may be true that latter wasn't so famous as the Impressionism art
but was the first that rejected the Romanticism and the first that paint life and
situations as they were. The first movement that brings new and fresh ideas into art
and the first with some characteristics that were later accepted by modern art. Now,

moving to the second affirmation lets see if can be considered the true modern art
style. As we could see from past weeks, art is made to be admired, to send a message,
to emotion through the use of colors, expression, etc. Realism art was done to just
describe and show reality without giving anything more to the viewer and for this
reason, a more "complete" art movement was born that can be considered a truly
modern art style, which is the Impressionism. In fact, according to Otis College (n.d.),
"Realism is what we see, Impressionism is how we see it". Taking, for example, the
Realism work of art entitled "The Stone Breakers" (1849) by Gustave Courbet we can
see how easy and clear to the viewer's eyes is what we see - two peasants that
are breaking the rocks. We don't see their faces and the painting didn't emotion when
looking at it because is simple shows an image of people in their social setting.
Another work of Realism is "A Burial at Ornans" (1849-50) by Gustave Courbet
where we have shown part of real life without many colors and with her bad and good
side, with her joy and sadness...simple as it is (Gersh-Nesic, n.d.).

On the other side, the Impressionism style gives us more. For example, the first
painting from where the Impressionism started, I'm speaking about the painting
entitled "Impression Sunrise" (1872) by Claude Monet. Here we see a beautiful red
sun and two small rowboats, we see from the use of the colors the beautiful
representation of the port of Le Havre. The use of colors is something that captures
our eyes. We can see other beautiful Impressionism work of arts where we have
shown the people lifestyles, relaxing, etc. Example of these works of arts are "Women
in the Garden" (1866) by Claude Monet, "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" (1884) by
Georges Seurat. All beautiful work of arts that "include relatively small, thin, yet
visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on the accurate depiction of light in
its changing qualities" (Saylor Foundation, n.d., para 2) that gives us the idea of the
new modern life and which techniques were widely accepted also in the official Salon
as the new way to create modern art.
