Luminism (Impressionism)

As Luminism is called an art style of Post-Impressionism, who put particular emphasis on distinctive light effects.

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 ) and by the early pointillist works of the Dutchman Jan Toorop Jan Sluijters Leo Gestel and Piet Mondriaan. While the work of the Belgian artist, however, especially stylistically to French impressionism, and particularly in painting Claude Monet oriented, the models of the Dutch painters were more in the area of Fauvism of Henri Matisse, Maurice de Vlaminck and André Derain.

In Spain, the Luminism is known primarily as Luminismo valenciano. Most while maintaining a detailed reproduction of the motives were the painters, especially under the influence of the color intensity of the Spanish countryside and the Mediterranean light. The main representatives of this style is derived from Valencia Joaquín Sorolla. Other artists of this style were Pinazo Ignacio, 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. Not for the environment of working in Valencia artists were originally from Madrid Aureliano de Beruete and coming from Asturias Darío de Regoyos, but both also painted in the stem of the Luminism.
