"Vremena Goda" Galleries closed the year commemorating the 150th anniversary of impressionism in painting with an exclusive exhibition of a 30-second digital art installation.
Throughout 2024, Paris, London, Berlin, Washington, and Tel Aviv honored the elusive beauty of the moment as seen through the eyes of the great Impressionist masters. The time has come for Moscow: nine paintings by Seurat, Van Gogh, Monet, and Renoir are brought to life for a few moments in front of visitors at "Vremena Goda".
This type of homage to the most influential art trend clearly overlaps with current trends for winter 2024-2025 and spring-summer 2025.
Bright hues in various tones contrast with the depth of endless black. The movement of air, the glitter of light, the angle of shadow, and the sensation of the breath of life. Flowers, gardens, sky, sea, beach, boat rides, clouds, rivers, grass, trees, snow, lights, city, cafe, theater, rustle of newspapers and menus, barely audible rustle of fabric melting in your hands — the same words can describe "plots without plots" of impressionist paintings and the latest fashion collections.
In modern terms, they attempted to cancel impressionism at the end of the nineteenth century! "This is not art; this is the impression of art," said the art critic about Claude Monet's picture, which was shown in Paris in 1874 at a completely new creative trend exhibition. Impressionism evolved into the art of sharing impressions. Previously, only a clear storyline or action was thought to be appropriate for artistic works. Did the swaying rays of the rising sun, as depicted by Monet for that exhibition, deserve to be painted on canvas? Do we need to know how to describe color combinations and color and fabric selections in clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories? "To really see something, you must forget the name of what you are looking at," according to Monet.
When it comes to our personal style, we all become impressionists. A fashion designer's genius awakens emotions that are translated into the language of trendy imagery, affecting our reality deeper than any artist's brushes.
Our life's context is consistent, and each moment is completely unique. A tribute to the great movement of fine art, nine paintings by the greatest impressionists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, enlivened by digital technology, celebrate the triumph of love for beauty and fashion.
