Art Impressionism was a radical departure from previous forms of painting. It is a style that in a sense was a response to the change in technology, the invention and growth of photography (Soltes, "From Realism to Impressionism"). Photographs offered incredible detail and perspective of the world outside the lens, this prompted artists to reimagine what the objectives of art should be. Artists wanted to record a moment, an impression, of a moment, focusing on how it is perceived, specifically through the use of colors. Soltes explains that Monet's Haystacks series is a study on how light and colors changes the object. The series looks at the same object at different times during different seasons, making not the haystacks the subject but light and color. The series allowed Monet to show the subtleties of perception as seasons, time, and weather changes. Haystacks at Sunset and Haystacks: End of Summer show how light and color changes the object.

The argument that I have been making is a twofold one. The first branch of this argument is that Pop Art, while it incorporates ordinary images and commercial motifs and tropes just as does commercial design, it does so in different ways and for different reasons than does purely commercial work. It is because the motivations of the Pop Artist (and I suppose we might say of the art objects
Symbolism first developed in poetry, where it spawned free verse. Forefathers included the poets Baudelaire, Verlaine, and Rimbaud; practitioners included Laforgue, Moreas, and Regnier. The Swiss artist Arnold Becklin is perhaps the most well-known Symbolist painter; his pictures are like allegories without keys, drenched in melancholy and mystery. Other artists working in this vein include Odilon Redon and Gustave Moreau. The Surrealists drew heavily on the Symbolists later on. Catalan
Pissarro took a special interest in his attempts at painting, emphasizing that he should 'look for the nature that suits your temperament', and in 1876 Gauguin had a landscape in the style of Pissarro accepted at the Salon.
