Answer to Question 1
Answer: The ideal answer should include three examples from the chapter, along with these points:
1. The Impressionists captured the transitory moment (le temps, alluding to time, weather, and the age) by using sketchy brushstrokes that seem unfinished, as in Monet's ImpressionSunrise.
2. They captured the fleeting effects of light by applying paint in small, quick stokes of color, as in ImpressionSunrise or Monet's Carnival on the Boulevard des Capucines.
3. They depicted scenes of pleasurable leisure activities, rather than social commentaries, as in Renoir's Bal du Moulin de la Galette and Berthe Morisot's Reading.
4. Artists such as Monet combined two or more pigments on a brush and allowed them to blend on the canvas; he used a wet-on-wet technique, and he used synthetic paints with which he could paint intense hues.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Czanne emphasized formal aspects of painting at the expense of subject matter and thus looked forward to the formalism and abstraction of the twentieth century.
2. In Still Life with Cherries and Peaches, the peaches and the cherries are seen from different viewpoints, influencing Cubist painting.
3. In Mont Sainte-Victoire and the Viaduct of the Arc River Valley, space is collapsed by making formal correspondences between foreground and background.
4. In the Large Bathers, the body is oversimplified with an emphasis on geometric shapes and structures.
