Luminism (Impressionism)
Luminism is a late-impressionist or neo-impressionist style in painting which devotes great attention to light effects.
The term has been used for the style of the Belgian (mainly Flemish) painters such as Emile Claus and Théo van Rysselberghe and their followers Adriaan Jozef Heymans, Anna Boch, Évariste Carpentier, Guillaume Van Strydonck, Leon de Smet, Jenny Montigny, Anna De Weert, George Morren, Rodolphe De Saegher, Emmanuel Viérin, Modest Huys, Georges Buysse, Marcel Jefferys, Yvonne Serruys and Juliette Wytsman, as well as for the early pointillist work of the Dutch painters Jan Toorop, Leo Gestel, Jan Sluijters, and Piet Mondriaan.
After Emile Claus died in 1930, his pupil, Anna de Weert continued to paint in the luminist style at her studio near Ghent.
In the Spanish painting the luminism term or Valencian luminism used for the work of a group of prominent Spanish painters led by Joaquín Sorolla, Ignacio Pinazo Camarlench, Teodoro Andreu, Francisco Benítez Mellado and Vicente Castell.
The Belgian and Dutch styles have little in common: Emile Claus's work is still close to that of the great French impressionists, especially Claude Monet, whereas Dutch luminism, characterized by the use of large color patches, is closer to fauvism.
Luminism evolved in the late nineteenth century in Europe as a form of Impressionism for the regional areas. It was especially pronounced in Belgium and Spain, where painters attempted to capture light and to define its particular manifestation in the local atmosphere. Belgian painters Émile Claus and Théo van Rysselberghe brought together the color and technique of Impressionism with the more subdued tonalities of the northern sky, evolving what came to be called the School of Latem. Their works were often of country scenes, bathed in gentle daylight and tranquil feeling. On the other hand, in Spain, Joaquín Sorolla became the head of the Valencian Luminist movement interpreting the intense Mediterranean sunlight playing on the water, the people, and the sand. His paintings focused on movement, light, and the exuberant energy of outdoor existence, which gave Luminism a particular southern warmth.
By the first decade of the twentieth century, Luminism was an established artistic vogue that exulted brightness, natural light, and serene arrangement. Akin to Impressionism, it had a more subdued and restrained, Lucien-period sensibility, eschewing the disintegration of form which appeared in later avant-garde styles. The movement captured the aspirations of modern life as well as the balance between nature and human activity. It was in Belgium and Spain where it became an established expression of national and regional identity, fusing technical rigour with emotional brilliance. The focus on atmosphere and the poetic possibilities of light that Luminism represented would continue to impact European landscape and portraiture painting between Impressionism and the developing aesthetics of modern realism.
Luminism had a strong influence on Belgium art in the early 20th century, which changed the way artists viewed and conveyed “light color and atmosphere” through art pieces. The Belgian artist got inspiration from French Impressionist artists and developed his own style. They combined techniques from France with local artistic traditions. These connections create unique Impressionism called Luminism, which focuses on bright and colorful and nuanced light to build up nature and mood in the picture.
