The culture is the foundation of education. Sculpture, photography, handcrafts and paintings are expressions of art. All countries have their exponents and styles. Obviously the old painters were more recognized because they practically imposed their style. Today there are many painters too but less recognized.

Normally artists adopted a renowned art style to begin their works. Styles are used in two senses: It can refer to the distinctive visual elements, methods and techniques that characterize an individual artist's work. It can also refer to the group or school that an artist is connected.

There are many styles such as Abstract, Cubism, Expressionism, Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, etc. Now, our topic is the Impressionism.

Impressionist painting remains the most attractive period in the history of modern art and the most valued by the public. The appearance of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by similar movements in other media which became known as Impressionist music and Impressionist literature.

The following are some important Impressionist painters: Paul Cézanne, ...
... Frédéric Bazille, Lovis Corinth, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Karl Hagemeister, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, etc. They have their paintings in the most famous galleries and museums of Europe.

Don't forget something. Exhibitions are important to publicize the work of artists. Many times this is the main reason that painters can not be recognized.

Finally, art is a profession like any other. If you decide to follow this way, do it seriously. This is not a pastime.
