The Power of Colors: Technique and Choice of Paint of the Impressionists and Fauves
Peter Eurlings, art historian

The Impressionists were especially interested in depicting phenomena of light and nature. They painted with bright, pure colors and juxtaposed contrasting complementary colors using powerful brushstrokes or even dots. The methods and color palettes of Impressionism were just as varied as the painters and their working methods. Peter Eurlings introduces the approaches and techniques of the Impressionist painters.
