Luminism
As Luminism is called an art style of Post-Impressionism , the special emphasis on distinctive light effects set.
The style was mainly influenced by the Belgian Emile Claus and his students ( Jenny Montigny , Anna De Weert , Georges Morren , Gustave de Smet , Frits van den Berghe and Constant Permeke ) as well as by the early pointillist works of the Dutch Jan Toorop and Jan Sluijters , Leo Gestel and Piet Mondriaan . While the work of the Belgian artists is mainly stylistically based on French impressionism and here in particular on the painting of Claude Monetoriented, the models of the Dutch painters were more in the area of Fauvism of Henri Matisse , Maurice de Vlaminck and André Derain .
An example in Germany is Max Liebermann , who often showed the play of light breaking through trees on the ground.
In Spain, luminism is best known as Luminismo valenciano and in the Luminist School of Sitges . Mostly while maintaining a detailed reproduction of the motifs, the painters were primarily impressed by the color intensity of the Spanish landscapes and the Mediterranean light. The main representative of this style is from Valencia originating Joaquín Sorolla . Other artists of this style were Ignacio Pinazo , Vicente Castell , Teodoro Andreu , José Navarro Llorens , Cecilio Plá , Joaquim Mir , Santiago Rusiñol , Francisco Gimeno Arasa , Emilio Sala Francés , Francisco Domingo and Antonio Muñoz Degrain . Aureliano de Beruete , who came from Madrid, and Darío de Regoyos , who came from Asturias, did not belong to the circle of the artists working in Valencia, but they both also painted in the style of luminism.
