About this exposition

Arts can be categorised into different streams. Critics and historians are well-known for selecting these names regardless of the artist’s opinion. The research explore how distinct arts can convey similar messages using different methods, with a focus on Impressionism to support the argument. Debussy and Monet symbolise, respectively, music and painting at the turn of the XXth century in France. During this time, cultural institutions were shifting towards new languages, which led to Art as we know it today. This study begins with an overview of the impressionist movement and its origins, followed by Monet as a prime example for painting , and the music, with Debussy. It will then analyse what some of their works contained to uncover the specific elements and the artistic process that made them stand out, both in their time and from today’s perspective. This comparison aims to explore possible common ground by considering the artists’ works side by side. This exploration will deepen insight of their artistic distinctiveness and to consider whether “Impressionism” was merely a critique of the artists expression, or a coincidence that gave an impulse to evolution?
