  • NEW WORLDS – Lise – La femme à l‘ombrelle

  • Painting outdoors, or »en plein air« in French, where the light and shade are natural givens, came to define a painterly style from the mid-19th century onwards. Pierre Auguste Renoir’s ›Lise‹, dating from 1867, is closely affiliated with the so-called Pleinairist movement, yet is considered the masterpiece of Early Impressionism. It was the first of the painter’s works to be exhibited at the Paris Salon, in 1868. Renoir portrayed his young love, Lise Tréhot, in front of a shady glade in the Fontainebleau woods outside Paris.
    Impressionist painting is characterized by offering snapshots of moments that underscored the fleeting quality of natural lighting conditions. No German artist came closer to this ideal than Max Liebermann: With swift brushstrokes and intense colours he recorded his first impression of a warden at Amsterdam Zoo on a bright summer’s day. The photography practised by the Pictorialism around 1900 relied on diffuse lighting and a deliberate lack of focus to create painterly testimony to life outdoors under the open sky.
