Instead of lasting several decades or centuries, art movements changed every 10-20 years as artists experimented with technology and innovative ideas. The industrial revolution brought prosperity, an emerging middle class, and people with time on their hands to enjoy life. Transportation gave the general population and artists the ability to travel to other countries, exposure to other cultures, to study and learn new art methods. Art around the world changed and became incorporated into everyday life, no longer controlled by royalty, government, or religion.
During this period, experiments with multiple art styles occurred as new technologies changed traditional art. The invention of tubes to hold paint allowed artists to paint outside, en Plein Aire, capturing the view before them directly on the canvas instead of making sketches and finishing the painting in their studio. Both the Impressionists and the Hudson River School artists now used the natural light of nature. Georges Seurat developed the style called pointillism, applying small dots of adjacent complementary colors on the canvas to form the image. The camera was invented in this period creating the ability to record an image, an invention profoundly changing art, and bringing the technology to all people.
The changes likewise brought new opportunities for female artists to be recognized and accepted. One of the significant turning points for women happened with the emergence of the Les Trios Grandes Dames of Impressionism in France, paving the way for other women artists to follow in future generations. The Grand Dames exhibited their work in the prominent Salons and competed alongside some of the finest male artists of the period. Women in the United States exhibited art in support of their women's suffragette movement, although in cities like Philadelphia, society boycotted the show. Art from Japan influenced European artists as they developed the new Japonism style when access to other cultures broadened the artistic environment.
Chapter 11, The Industrial Revolution (1800 CE–1899 CE) altered the concepts of art with new inventions and techniques. These changes reflected worldwide as artists in every country experimented and influenced the art methods in their regions.
