Toyism Art Movement absolutearts.com (544 words) |
 | On 24 February 1993, the Toyism art movement was first introduced to the Dutch public. |
| In the first 7 years the Toyists used in their art simple (fairy tale) stories, simple colour positions and the use of always returning image elements, as for instance the computer and the space shuttle. |
| As a figurative style, Toyism originates from an impulse for innovation and as a reaction to the age of the Ego. |

Impressionism (art) - MSN Encarta (1680 words) |
| Impressionism (art), a movement in painting that originated in France in the late 19th century. |
| Art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, who worked hard to sell impressionist works, promoted this view of impressionism as a movement concerned primarily with landscape painting, with Monet as its central figure. |
| Art historians tended to overlook the work of Morisot despite her similar technique and participation in the original 1874 exhibition—partly because she was a woman and partly because she had fewer works in circulation than the others. |
