Impressionism

by Claude Monet

this is what I learnt in music class today.
impressionistic paintings...
vague, elusive, surreal, ephemeral;
it captures the idea and impression of your mind at the precise moment;
it emphasizes on the vivid overall effects rather than the details;
that's what it's all about.
it leaves us to figure out every thought, emotion, and idea that is in it!
So amazing! Wonder why we learnt paintings in music class?
They belong to the same period of romantic/contemporary music!
And impressionistic music is equally fascinating!
I'm in awe of impressionistic art. :)
